FROM THE SideiineA By LAN I PRESSWOOD The “new look” of the Aggie basketballers will be on display Saturday night against Arkansas in the next-to-last home game of the season. For testimony on the new Cadet style of play ask any of the spectators who were present for the record-shattering performance against Rice Tuesday evening.

Hok, defeated style of basketball. .y were in but Vfadt- a the state match, The result was a hell-for-leather offense which produced 41 field goals and 104 points. He combined this hully-gully attack with a scintillating fullcourt zone press which further opened up the game. It wasn’t only the type of ball but also some spectacular individual performances which made the Owl encounter a spectator’s delight. During the first half John Beasley turned in a tre mendous shooting display. A good part of Beasley’s recent success—he meshed 43 in the Baylor game last weekend—is due to his decision to fake and drive when he’s closely covered. Once the 6-9 bomber begins to master this technique the All-American drums could start beating. From now on Big John will constitute a threat to the SWC single game scoring record every time he takes the floor. The present standard is 50, set in 1956 by hook shooting Jim Krebs of SMU. Two other Aggies emerged from the Rice contest as players that bear watching. Bill Gasway displayed the form which marked his best efforts as a Cadet starter last season. The rejuvenation of the 6-6 forward is a welcome develop ment. Another one is the sudden success of sophomore Dick Rector. The 5-11 firebrand is pelting the nets at a .600 clip and is one of the most aggressive defenders around. He popped in 6 of 8 against the Owls, including the historic 100th point. The defending conference champions are still a solid quintet, one that has missed a loftier position by a precious few points in crucial situations. A vital factor in the success of a fast-breaking, hard- pressing ball club is the backing of a large and enthusiastic crowd. Psychology plays no small part in this wide-open It also plays no minor role in recruiting, which is still being actively waged. There will be several outstanding high school prospects in the stands Saturday night. The turnout for the game will likely determine their opinion of the Spirit of Aggieland. Youthful Maroon Baseballers Ready For Workouts To Start THE BATTALION Thursday, February 18, 1965 College Station, Texas Page 7 $400,000 Namath Pact Blasted By Browns 9 Boss A major rebuilding job appears in store for A&M Coach Tom Chandler as 1965’s first baseball workouts get underway. “This will be a very young, in experienced club,” laments Chand ler, “We lost our whole infield, our top pitcher, and our catcher.” Diamond practice was allowed to begin in the Southwest Confer ence Monday but rain kept the Ca dets indoors waiting for a break in the weather. The Aggies are the defending SWC champions and Chandler was voted the 1964 Coach-of-the-Year in the NCAA’s District 6. As the Maroons prepare to be gin the defense of their title, the outfield appears to be the club’s strongest area. All three starters return: Lance Cobb, Billy Crain, and Alan Koonce. Cobb was the league’s leading batsman last season and was named to the second team All- America unit. Koonce also wield ed a big stick and was an all-SWC selection. Crain had a highly successful season in the Basin League this summer. He will be tabbed for pitching duties and will see some action at first base. Adding depth to the outfield pic ture are returning lettermen Fred dy Carlton and Neal Thompson and impressive sophomore Chuck Mal- itz. Catching duties will be shared by Odessa Junior College transfer Ed Gardner and sophomore Ralph Beckner. Chandler labels the pitching corps “thin and inexperienced.” Topping the list is lefty Steve Hillhouse, All-SWC and sopho- more-of-the-year in the circuit last spring. The mound crew will be rein forced by Crain, Billy Johnson, and Ronnie Byrd. Johnson is a prom ising transfer from Blinn Junior College. Top soph prospects in clude Dicky Valentine and Tommy Chiles. Darrell Stovall, John Cook, Jim my Sparkman, and Richard Barker provide depth. Problem spot of the club on paper is the infield, where sopho mores will have to be counted on heavily. Letterman D e w a y n e Stewart holds down first base, and is backed by sophomore Mike Fisher. Junior letterman Mike McClure holds down third base. Battling for second base are a pair of sophomores, Mike Arring ton, and Ray Dickerson. Sopho more Jeff Warren, leading hitter on last year’s Fish nine, is contest ing Dennis Williams at shortstop. Williams hails from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and is a transfer from the College of The Sequoias. Chandler sums up his club’s prospects by remarking, “I just hope we can make up for lack of experience with hustle and desire.” A&M’s first outing is slated for March 3 against St. Edwards in is set at third base. PALM DESERT, Calif. UP)— Arthur B. Modell, outspoken young owner of the champion Cleveland Browns of the National Football League, Wednesday termed the re ported $400,000 paid by the New York Jets to quarterback Joe Na math as “ludicrous” and a “great harm to the sport.” Interviewed at the NFL meeting here, Modell criticized the Jets for the contract they gave the Ala bama quarterback. Modell also made it clear that the Browns want no part of any cooperation with its rival Ameri can Football League, including a common draft of playing talent or a championship game between the leagues. “We are completely satisfied with the caliber of football played in the National League, with our public support and our television contract. Let them (the AFL) worry about themselves, we’ve got enough to do Ourselves. We are strong and any tie-up with the other league is totally unneces sary,” Modell said. He said there has been no for mal discussion of any common draft decision, nor a championship game for that matter, and none is expected.

Woodson, CLU, President II ks rick Breaks Off kamond Relations ietween Japs, U. S. NEW YORK <iP) — Japanese- American baseball relations were Ration a®l terminated, at least temporarily, ion, which by Commissioner Ford Frick Wed nesday when he revealed he has ruled in favor of the San Fran cisco Giants in their dispute with Japanese baseball team. The impasse involves Masanori Murakami, a 20-year-old pitcher. Both the Giants and the Nankai Hawks claim rights to the left hander. "I have sent out a bulletin to every one of our clubs that there will be no further relations with Japanese baseball until this thing is settled to my satisfaction,” Frick disclosed. "I am deciding in favor of the Giants. I have heard nothing from the Japanese commissioner.” The dispute began early this month when the Nankai team said it had signed a contract with Mu rakami for the 1965 season. Mura kami had already signed a con tract to pitch for the Giants this year. Murakami played for the Giants last year, the first Japanese in sented by ^ ^ S. major leagues. Joe Stanka, an American who has pitched for Nankai the past live years, and Carl Hanta, a Nankai coach, met with Frick Monday.
