THE BATTALION
Aggies Trounce Tigers 79- 70 ^
By LARRY R. JERDEN
Battalion Sports Editor
Age and experience prevailed
in G. Rollie White Thursday
night as the Aggies opened their
1965-66 basketball season with a
victory over the Trinity Tigers
79-70.
Led by the scoring of All-
America candidate John Beasley
and the rebounding of Randy
Matson, the Cadets played a
steady-paced game with four men
in the double-figures scoring col
umn.
Beasley led scoring as expect
ed with 32, while Matson and
Dick Stringfellow pumped in 15
points each. Eddie Dominguez
completed the quartet with 11.
Aggie rebounding and free-
throwing were both hot, with
Matson gathering in 18 rebounds
and Beasley 13 of the team’s 57,
while Big John went 12 for 13 on
the line. Dominguez was three
for three and Matson one for one
in free throws.
Leading the Tigers in scoring
was Danny Knust, one of four
freshmen starting for Trinity. He
hit 10 of 18 from the floor and
three of four free throws for 23
points. Roy Gomez, the only
starting sophomore, hit 18 points,
while Larry Jeffries made 17
points and led the San Antonio
team in rebounds with eight.
Aggie Head Coach Shelby Met
calf was pleased with the over
all performance of his team, and
had praise for the Trinity five.
“I thought we played well, and
I was surprised at the talent
Trinity displayed. We have to
play them two more years, and
when those freshmen get some
more experience, they’ll really be
good,” he said.
He was also happy with Mat
son’s performance.
“Randy exceeded my expecta
tions, and he really starts driv
ing when the adrenalin starts
flowing. He never drives like that
in practice, but likes to get after
those boys in different colored
jerseys than ours.”
The Tigers led the game six
times and had it tied six in the
opening minutes of the contest,
but the Aggies’ weight and ex
perience finally took its toll and
they went ahead for the last time
with 7:35 left in the first half.
The Aggies opened with a full
court press, and continued it for
most of the game, though it did
not appear to bother the Tigers
very much. They exhibited a sen
sational type of fast-breaking
basketball, while the Aggies
seemed to depend more on their
height advantage under the
boards with an occasional fast
break.
After leading for as much as
six points and having it cut to
two on a number of occasions, the
Cadets ended the first half lead
ing 40-36.
When the second half opened,
the Aggies opened their lead to
six, eight and then nine points
on shots by Stringfellow and
Beasley. The difference varied
from seven to nine points until
Trinity took a time out with
15:32 left in the half and the
Ags led 53-42.
Matson and Beasley pumped
in layups and Stringfellow hit a
20-foot jump to protect the
Cadet lead, but after the Farm
ers took a time out with 11:43
left, their margin fell to seven
points.
Dominguez and Beasley then
hit free shots to give A&M its
greatest lead with 9:10 to go,
68-54. Metcalf tried to instigate a
stall from the bench, but before
he called a time out with 4:39
remaining in the game, the Ag
lead had been cut in half.
The remainder of the game
was an even-steven affair, with
Beasley stuffing the basket for
the last two points with 22 sec
onds still on the clock.
Beasley and Stringfellow have
been named co-captains of this,
Metcalf’s third Aggie basketball
team. He won the SWC his first
year and finished fourth last
year with a 7-7 record.
Beasley, the 6-9 center-fort-
ward, is a serious All-America
candidate with seven school and
three Southwest Conference rec
ords under his belt from last
year as well as a share of the
SWC’s “Player of the Year”
award.
Continuing their home stand
for the next three games, the
Aggies meet Southwest Texas
Monday night, Houston the 9th
and Memphis State the 13th.
“Southwest Texas is picked to
win the Lone Star Conference,”
said Metcalf, “and I’m sure we’ll
have our hands full containing
them.”
“I will say this, we are going
to work hard getting ready for
them. I know they are bringing
up a good ball club. They have
two boys that were in the SWC,
Bill Overall from Texas and Cur
ley Lenox from A&M.”
TIPOFF TO VICTORY
Randy Matson (42) and Larry Jeffreis (25) points, but couldn’t contain the Aggies as
of Trinity leap on the opening tipoff of A&M chalked up its first victory of the
Thursday night’s game in G. Rollie White, season 79-70.
