THE BATTAU
Ags Take 1st With Rice
By LARRY UPSHAW
Battalion Sports Writer
The third miss was a charm
for Big John Beasley, who used
his long arms to pull the Aggies
to a 92-85 win over the Rice Owls
in Houston Saturday night.
The serene Rice campus felt
the rumble of a full-fledged earth
quake in Rice Gym. With 1:33
remaining in the contest, the Owls
brought the ball downcourt with
A&M leading by one point, 84-
83. Off the rim flew one shot
and heart failure commenced. A
second miss and sweat glands
gushed. The third shot bounded
away and into the ozone stretched
points with 9:49 left in the game.
After Aggie guard Eddie Dom
inguez popped in the first two
points on a jumper from the side
of the key, the first half re
sembled a tennis match as the
troops scrambled back and forth
trading baskets. With center
Randy Matson blocking Owl scor
ing ace Doug McKendrick away
from the basket, the Aggies com
bined superior rebounding and
free-throw prowess to construct
a 49-40 halftime bulge. But the
Owls changed scoring aces in mid
stream as guard Guy Lease hoop
ed 10 points in the first five-and-
one-half minutes of the second
half to tie the knot at 57-57.
Aggie cagers then went three and
one half minutes without a point
as Rice used the zone press to
pull nine points ahead.
From then on, Beasley moved
into far right field on a do-or-
die gamble.
“We put Beasley in the corner
because they had two men guard
ing him.” explained Coach Shel
by Metcalf. “That way we had
four on three.”

straight layups and Southwest
Conference victory No. 2.
Beasley and McKendrick, 1-2
respectively in conference scoring,
squared off at ten paces for the
expected scoring duel. Beasley
won the first round when he
knocked McKendrick’s first shot
out of the arena.
This strategy worked like a
royal flush, as the Owls began
to make defensive mistakes. This
Aggie forward Dick Stringfel-
low added injury to insult when
his layup with 13:43 left in the
first half netted two points and
left McKendrick covering the Rice
Gym floor. Beasley won the duel
with 26 points while Dick Rector

John, who pulled down a rebound
and was fouled for his trobule.
With the one-and-one situa

Fish Drub Owlets
It’s a big man’s game say the
Aggie Fish, who flew over the
Rice Owlets Saturday night to
score an 88-73 rout in Houston.
The skyscraping Fish, with
starters averaging a mean 6-6
and 206 pounds, just muscled out
the lesser Owlets to score an
initial win in Southwest Confer
ence freshman action after sea
son-opening losses to junior col
lege foes.
I was really surprised,” ex
claimed Fish Coach Jim Cul
pepper. “We hadn’t played in a
month so I really didn’t know
what to expect.”
The surprise was quite pleas
ant teamwise, for the Fish out-
rebounded Rice 48-32. They also
displayed a fantastic 67.7 per cent
accuracy from the field in the
first half to erect a 49-31 lead
at intermission. That average
slumped to 41.3 per cent in the
second half, but the Fish will
proudly claim a healthy 55 per
cent average overall.
“We slacked off a little in the
second half,” stated Culpepper,
’’but that’s only natural—being so
far ahead.”
Some individual giants stepped
forward to pace the Fish. Guard
Billy Bob Barnett poured in
points from all angles to tally
33 while snatching 14 rebounds.
Guard Sonny Benefield displayed
swiftness afoot to score 25. For
wards Ronny Peret and Gary
Ditto bagged 10 points each.
Culpepper emptied the bench
early and often with five scholar
ship and six non-scholarship cag
ers seeing action.
Owlet Mike Frizzell canned 21
points to lead the Rice quintet,
while Johnny Coles hit for 16 as
the Owlets posted a puny 41.2 per
cent radio from the field.
The Fish will attempt to whip
San Jacinto Junior College into
submission Tuesday night pre
ceding the Aggie-Arkansas con
test. The tipoff is scheduled for
5:45.

Opportunity comes early at Ford Motor Company.
Graduates who join us are often surprised at how
quickly they receive personal assignments involv
ing major responsibilities. This chance to dem
onstrate individual skills contrasts sharply with
the experience of many young people entering the
business world for the first time. At Ford Motor
Company, for example, a graduate may initiate a
project and carry it through to its final develop
ment. One who knows is David Tenniswood, of
our research staff.
Dave joined Ford Motor Company in July, 1961.
Assigned to our steering and controls section, he helped develop a revolu
tionary steering system that will facilitate driving in future Ford-built cars.
Currently a design engineer working on suspension design and analysis,
Dave has been impressed by the extent to which management encourages
personal initiative among recent graduates like himself. Here, management
looks immediately to young engineers, like Dave, for fresh concepts that
reflect their academic training and special abilities. Moreover, when the
idea is accepted for development, the initiator is frequently given the
opportunity to see the job through—from drawing board to production line!
The experience of Dave Tenniswood is not unusual. Ford Motor Company
believes that early incentive is fundamental to individual growth and a
successful career. If you are interested in a job that challenges your abilities
and rewards enterprise, we urge you to contact our representative when
he visits your campus.
