The Assistant Executive Secretary of the SWC made the statement to a Fort Worth Star- Telegram reporter after seeing the volatile Timmins play in an A&M freshman game. Paul made the All-SWC frosh team that year and has since come on to be an Aggie regular and team captain. This season he is again a strong contender for all-conference honors. To reach this level, the 5-11 scrapper has had to overcome the barrier Curtis thought was un- surmountable — his own fiery temperament. In a well-circulated quote, Ag gie cage mentor Shelby Metcalf remarked, “Paul just decided he’d rather play than officiate.” In a more serious vein, Metcalf credits “maturity” as being the prime factor in Timmins’ current court behavior. Timmins himself speaks open ly and frankly on the subject. “I’d always had that reputa tion. A lot of the time it’s just been that I’m mad at myself. I have to give Coach Metcalf a lot of credit. He said he’d put me on the bench for it and it worked. It probably helped my playing too.” Paul’s reputation now rests on another trait he has always pos sessed—desire. He puts forth that intangible 110 per cent every time he walks out on the floor. He was dubbed “the Aggie hustle guy” as a sophomore and the ver dict hasn’t changed. Metcalf labels him, “one of the greatest competitors this school has ever had. I’m a big Timmins fan and I always have been. He’s an inspiring type ball player.” The Clear Creek playmaker combines effort with natural AFL Yields To Colleges )n Signings IBI ar Radii ervice A 2-19H S T CE rivers at lly large id risks :e needs jb Group ve.

They were: 1. Limit the number of official Purses of $100,000 or more. There could be a separate tour for less experienced players with tourna ments of lesser purses. 2. Set up tournaments on a five-year plan stretching from the East to the West to enable clubs plan a long-range program. 3. Rate players by money win nings and drop those who don’t show reasonable progress. 4. Discourage the sponsoring of pros. Palmer suggested that only the best courses be used and that a club be given a five-year tourna ment lease in order to make in novations, such as underground television cables and bleachers. court savvy. His intelligence, comes through clearly in conver sation. He is highly articulate and possesses a razor-edged wit. His good-natured offcourt man ner belies his high-spirited game personality. The Clear Creek School Dis trict was the earliest recipient of Timmins’ basketball ability. He started playing organized ball there in the fifth grade and con tinued up through high school. The quintets he played on dur ing his schoolboy career were consistent state powers. The 3A championship barely eluded the Wildcats his last two seasons During his junior year a team from Linden-Kildare eliminated them in the semifinals because of a sophomore sharpshooter named John Beasley. Another deadeye who played in that game was Bennie Lenox, one of Paul’s closest friends. For two years at Clear Creek and two at Aggieland the pair formed a dangerous and determined back- court combination. Timmins calls the Clear Creek program he played under “proba bly the best in the state.” His high school mentor was George Carlisle, now at Rice. Paul married as a high school junior and before graduation acquired the nickname “Pops.” His A&M teammates have picked up the tag and now use it auto matically. He and his wife Cooky have three children. “Cooky has been an under standing wife,” he reflects, “she never complains even though I spend 75 per cent of my time away from home.” Timmins is a P.E. major and plans to go into coaching after graduation. He possesses all the essentials to become one of the finest coaches A&M has ever turned out. But Paul still has seven games left as an Aggie and you can bet that he’ll be right in the middle of all of them.
