The Texas Aggies take time
off from the Southwest Confer
ence basketball wars to provide
opposition for the dangerous
Houston Cougars in Houston’s
Delmar Gym Saturday.
The contest will pit the SWC-
leading Aggies against the Cou
gars of Guy Lewis for the third
time this season. The Aggies
took the opener Dec. 9, 93-88, in
College Station, while UH won a
week later in the finals of the
Bluebonnet Classic in Houston,
90-85.
The Ags interrupt conference
play sporting a 5-0 league mark,
tops in the conference. Their
last win came over archrival
Texas Jan. 18 in Austin, 64-57.
Coach Shelby Metcalf will
start his usual five of John Beas
ley, Randy Matson, Dick String-
fellow, Eddie Dominguez and
Dick Rector against the high-
scoring Cougars, eighth in the
nation in scoring with a 92.4 clip.
The Coogs are 11-4 for the sea
son, including a win over the
Baylor Bears in Houston Wed
nesday night. UH will entertain
TCU’s Horned Frogs tonight in
Houston before hosting the Ags
Saturday.
The Cougars’ scoring average
is unsurpassed by any SWC team
in history, and the Aggies likely
will go into Saturday’s contest
as the underdogs.
The game will pit two of the
Southwest’s leading cage per
formers in John Beasley, 6-9 Ag
gie star, and 6-7 Elvin Hayes,
Houston’s sophomore standout.
Beasley is 11th in national
scoring statistics with a 26.4 av
erage through 14 games. He also
leads the SWC season totals with
369 points and sports a 29.0 mean
through five league games.
Hayes is 17th in national scor
ing with a 25.1 average. He also
ranks 16th in field goal percent
age and 19th in rebounding with
a 13.9 average through 14 games.
Beasley leads the SWC in free
throw percentage, hitting 105 of
125 for an 84.0 mark. He also is
third in rebounding with an 11.7
average.
The contest will mark the first
action for the Aggies since the
mid-term break for semester

Post Says
May Play
The Houston Post reported
Wednesday that Aggie track and
basketball star Randy Matson is
considering reporting for foot
ball next season.
The story said Matson has not
made a definite decision concern
ing the matter but is thinking
about reporting for the football
squad.
“I realize . . . that there isn’t a
great deal of money in shot put
ting, and there’s quite a bit in
football,” Matson is quoted as
saying.
The world shot put record hold
er reported for basketball this
season and immediately made the
team as a starter. He is sport-

Parachute Team
To Host Nationals
The Texas A&M Parachute
team will host the national cham
pionships of the Collegiate Para
chuting League April 23-24.
From 75 to 100 contestant
from 20 schools will be here for
the national organization cham
pionships, to be held at the
Hearne Municipal Airport drop
zone.
Bob Richardson, spokesman for
the A&M team, said the U. S.
Army Parachute Team will judge
the two-day event and may make
a demonstration jump in Bryan-
College Station.
Among teams expected to com
pete are the Air Force Academy,

and Texas.
ing a 6.0 average and is second
in rebounds to John Beasley
with 138, a big factor in the
Aggies’ surge to the top of the
Southwest Conference standings.
The 6-6, 235-pound Matson
played tackle at Pampa his soph
omore year in high school. He
missed his next season because
of injuries and switched to full
back his senior year.
He was drafted in the 17th
round by the National Football
League Baltimore Colts in De
cember, but is ineligible for the
draft until next year.
Matson has reportedly discuss
ed the matter with Aggie track
coach Charley Thomas, and
Thomas said he thinks his star
shot putter will play football
next year.
If the Pampa star does play he
might well be teamed at tackle
with Maurice Moorman, a 240-
pound transfer from Kentucky.
THREE WAYS
TO BUY BOOKS
There are only about three ways to buy text
books at A&M:
1. WALK INTO THE FIRST BOOKSTORE YOU SEE
AND BUY THE BOOKS YOU MUST HAVE AT WHAT-
| EVER PRICES ARE AVAILABLE—This is a fairly common
method which gets the job done, but obviously the most ex
pensive method.
2. SHOP AROUND, COMPARE PURCHASE PRICE
AND RESALE VALUES ALLOWED ON YOUR BOOKS AT
THE END OF THE SEMESTER, THEN BUY WHERE YOU
GET THE BEST DEAL—A far more practical, scientific
method which will save you money.
(Before we continue, we think it is only fair to tell you that methods num
ber 2 and number 3 are the same.)
3. WALK INTO LOUPOT’S, SAVE ON USED TEXT
BOOKS, AND GET TOP VALUE WHEN YOU SELL YOUR
BOOKS BACK TO LOU LATER!
