By LARRY R. JERDEN
Battalion Sports Editor

onds to boost the Aggies to an
85-78 victory over SMU in both
teams’ opening Southwest Con
ference game Tuesday night.
A G. Rollie White crowd of 4,-
500 watched the Cadets take over
the lead with 6:56 left on a Trip

all but a few minutes of the
game.

The sophomore forward’s scor
ing spree began with a layup and
an assist from John Beasley to
bring the Ags within one point
of the Mustangs, 57-56. Less than
a minute later, he stole the ball
and broke for another layup to
tie the score at 59-59.
With the partisan crowd on its
feet, Trippet hit the jump to put
the Ags ahead for the last time,
then went on to finish his late
scoring spree which included sev
en points from the free-throw
line to give him a total of 19
points for the evening, pitting
him second to Beasley who
pumped in 25.
Beasley’s scoring came most
ly in the first half when he made
19 points, and suffered in the sec
ond as he sat out the final six
minutes with five fouls to his
name.
The first half belonged almost
exclusively to SMU, and though
the Ags led three times and man
aged to tie the score on five
occasions, the Mustangs led at
the half 46-42.
A&M had four men in double
scoring figures. Dick Rector,
playing with a nose guard to
protect an injury suffered in the
Xavier game, hit 10 points and
Eddie Dominguez pumped in 12
to round out the top four behind
Beasley and Trippet.
All-SWC selection Carroll
Hooser led the Mustangs’ losing
effort with 19 points and was
aided by four of his teammates
who also hit in double figures.
In rebounds it was again Beas
ley leading both teams with 12,
while Randy Matson and Dick
Stringfellow had eight apiece.
The Aggies won the game as
much on the boards as anywhere
else, outrebounding the Ponies
48-23. This enabled the Cadets to
overcome the SMU shooting per
centage from the floor. In the
first half the Mustangs hit 58.1
per cent and ended the night with
57.1 while the Ags were able to
muster only a 41 per cent mark
during the first half but came
back in the second to finish with
a 47.8 mark.
SMU displayed a smooth of
fense, with good ball control and
a number of weave-pass-dribble
combinations called from the
floor. They were never able to
open any kind of a sizable mar
gin, but seemed to have the game
under control most of the time.
The victory by A&M was one of
a scrappy team bent on victory
overcoming height, speed and
sharp shooting in the final min
utes.
As the team relaxed in the
dressing room, the most obvious
expression on everyone’s face
was a smile. Said Eddie Domin
guez, “We never lost our confi
dence during the game. They
had the lead, but during the sec
ond half we thought they looked
like they were tiring. You can’t
run on them, but since they look
ed tired, we took the chance and
ran them. It worked.”
“Coach had us in good shape,
and we’ve been in two-a-days
(workouts) since the Oklahoma
City tournament,” he added.
Rector smiled as a drop of
sweat left his chin and said, “It
feels a lot better to be back in the
winner’s circle. That’s where we
belong!”
“We have a lot different atti
tude now,” said Beasley, “es
pecially now that this game is
over. We just decided to win in
that second half, and we did.”
Matson, commenting on the
team’s feelings during the game,
said, “We were behind for most
of the game, but no one got wor
ried until they kept with us dur
ing the second half. We felt that
we'd go ahead just any minute,
that a certain something would
happen that usually does, and we
just were waiting for it to hap
pen. It finally did and we won.”
Matson said he felt he has
more confidence now that the
season is underway, and that the
little things in playing basket
ball are returning to him. This,
he commented, has probably
made him a bit more aggressive
on the court than earlier in the
season, and lets him be more
sure of his actions.
“Trippet is a real competitor,”
said Head Coach Shelby Metcalf
after the game, “and he did an
exceptionally fine job tonij
“But, he added, “this win
night was a true team efft
No one could really be said
stand out above any of the
ers. I will say one thing thoi
we’re not going to win many
games with John (Beasley)
ting on the bench!”

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. <A>) _
Alabama’s Crimson Tide whoop
ed it up Tuesday after learning
they were voted the national
football champions for the second
consecutive year. They immedi
ately set their sights on making
it three in a row.
None was more jubilant than
Coach Paul Bear Bryant, who
apparently tossed and turned
while The Associated Press final
poll votes were being tabulated
overnight.
He arose at 3 a.m., learned
’Bama was voted No. 1 for the
third time within five years, and
hustled over to the athletic dor
mitory to post this note on the
dining room door:
‘Just notified. Congrats na
tional champions. Paul Bryant.
P. S. Let’s start working today
to make it three in a row.”
No. 1 ranked Michigan State lost
to UCLA in the Rose Bowl, 14-
12, and previously No. 2 Arkan
sas was dropped by Louisiana
State in the Cotton Bowl, 14-7.
Bryant’s team, which had what
he called the lightest lineup and
most powerful offensive unit he
ever coached, swamped Nebraska
in the Orange Bowl, 39-28, New
Year’s night. Nebraska had
been No. 3.
Bryant avoided any personal
credit for this third national
championship since 1961.
“I’m proud and happy, of
course, and particularly proud
for the seniors and assistant
coaches who deserve the lion’s
share of the honor,” Bryant said.
“It makes me very thankful for
the people that were responsible
for it.”

If you’re interested in growth for what it can mean to you
personally, you’ll be interested to know that our sales have
increased more than 750% since 1937. You’ve probably heard
that R&D expenditures are a good indicator of a company’s I
future success. We spend $90 million a year on it, $60 million
of which goes straight into “pioneering research”—the discovery
of new scientific truths and new materials.
Our booklets will answer most of your preliminary questions.
Later—or even now if you wish—we can talk specifics by letter,
or face to face. Why not write us or send our coupon? We’d
