Aggies Set For Rice Tilt
After Capturing Squeaker
By LANI PRESSWOOD
Sports Editor
The Aggie cagers turned the
screw of suspense to the last
notch before wrapping up a ting
ling, 72-71 victory over surpris
ing TCU Tuesday night.
Dickie Stringfellow iced a pair
of tension-riddled free throws to
give A&M what proved to be the
winning margin.
The thread-thin triumph was
A&M’s first in conference play
and left them tied with four other
clubs for fourth place. The next
hurdle will be furnished by the
Rice Owls in Houston Saturday
night.
If the Owls run true to form
they will turn in an inspired per
formance against the Cadets, who
have encountered this in each
league tilt to date.
TCU was no exception. Show
ing complete contempt for the
prognosticators, the youthful
Frogs carried the fight to the
Aggies and were in the contest
right down to the final, frantic
second.
The first half ended, 34-33, and
was just that close. The score
was tied on three occasions and
the lead changed hands ten times.
A&M was cold, hitting only 14 of
45 shots before intermission.
The Aggies remained frigid the
last half but made up for it by
outbattling the Frogs on the
boards. For the full game the
Cadets were outshot, 46 to 33 per

cent, but claimed 53 rebounds to
TCU’s 47.
A&M threatened to break open
the game when they mounted a
63-58 lead with 5:26 left. TCU
insisted on keeping all 4,000 spec
tators around for the finish,
though, and took a 69-68 lead at
1:49.
Captain Paul Timmins then
raced down the court and fired in
a jumper to give the lead back
to the Cadets. A&M proceeded to
pull in a missed TCU shot and
shift into their stall pattern. Rich
Sauer fouled Stringfellow with 26
seconds left and the junior guard
meshed both charity shots, giving
A&M a three-point edge.
The final 15 seconds of play
were hectic ones. They found the
Cadets calling three time outs,
and missing three free throws.
Meanwhile, TCU soph center Stan
Farr eased in a layup to shave
the Maroon lead to 72-71.
Play ended on a frenzied note
with TCU in possession of the
ball with four seconds left. Gary
Turner arched a long, desperate
pass into frontcourt but time had
run out on the struggling Chris
tians.
Beasley paced the Ag point
production with 19, in addition to
clearing 11 rebounds. Timmins
had 17 points, Stringfellow 13,
and Norman 12.
Forward Sonny Fethkenher dis
played a fine effort in his first
starting role for the Aggies. He
pulled down six rebounds and hit
one of his two field goal at
tempts.
The sophomore-laden Frogs
were led by Farr’s 22 points. He
pulled down rebounds, one short
of Turner’s total. The high-scor
ing Turner was held to nine
points.
A&M Coach Shelby Metcalf
thought the Aggies played “their
best game on defense and best
game on the boards.
“We didn’t shoot as well as we
have been,” he continued, “They
(TCU) never buckled under pres
sure.
“We did a couple of things dif
ferent tonight. We wore knee
socks to try and change things up
some. And we changed ends so
that we’d be shooting the last
half at the goal in front of the
stands.
“There was some armwaving
when Baylor was shooting their
free throws down there and it
brought some had publicity, even
though I don’t think any of qur
students were doing it. We did
this to try and upgrade our
sportsmanship here.”
The TCU verdict leaves the
Aggies with a 1-2 record in SWC
play, identical to Saturday-night
opponent Rice. The Owl contest
will be staged in Rice Coliseum
beginning at 8 p.m.
