Tech Dumps Aggies
By LARRY UPSHAW
Battalion Sports Staff
LUBBOCK — “All I See Is Red” was the theme in
Lubbock Tuesday night with all the fans wearing Texas
Tech’s predominate color. It was red in the stands yes,
but especially on the court, as the Red Raiders cooled the
Aggies, 98-85.
With the Mighty Mite of the Plains, John (Dub)
Malaise canning 40 points and Bob Glover owning the boards
with 16 rebounds, an aroused Tech team walked the free
throw line for 26 points out of 35 attempts to register
the win.
Although hooping one more field goal than Tech, the
Aggies bagged only 11 of 15 from the charity line, and
that spelled the difference. John Beasley, with 28 points,
broke all career marks for A&M. His 1,422 tallies for the
full three seasons breaks the previous record held by
Carroll Broussard. Beasley also copped Broussard’s con
ference career record with 835.
Causing Aggie heads to shake in disbelief was the
game’s rebounding statistic: Tech 56, A&M 36. Four
Raiders had rebound totals in double figures, while only
Beasley with 13 had a two-digit total.
The first half began with the lead playing switcheroo
until, with the score tied 8-8 and 17:21 to play, Glover
dunked one and Bob Meassels fashioned a three-point play
for a 13-8 lead with 15:04 remaining.
But the Aggies captured a three-point lead at 22-19
on a free throw by Randy Matson and a jumper by Dick
Rector. But alas, that was the largest lead by A&M and
it didn’t last long.
A Glover jump shot, two field goals and a charity
shot by Norman Reuther, and a layup by Malaise, all in
succession, gave Tech fans reason to smile, 28-22.
Although Beasley, hemmed in earlier by Reuther’s
defensive heroics, hit 12 joints in the last eight minutes
of the half, the Aggies seemed destined to trail 46-36
at intermission.
The second stanza was mostly Tech, scorewise, as a
21-point spread prevailed at 84-63 with 5:48 left. But
as Beasley began to cool, Rector sizzled with a season high
of 21. Matson showed confidence in his shot with 15
points.
“Rector was just tremendous,” stated A&M Coach
Shelby Metcalf, “and that Randy (Matson) just keeps
coming. He gets better all the time.”
“I was real proud of the last 12 or 13 minutes of the
ball game,” he exclaimed. “We were down pretty far
but our boys stayed with them and never gave an inch.
I’m just glad we don’t have to face them again. I never
have any luck out here.”
Malaise offered no consolation with a supreme job
of thread-the-needle passing combined with his 40 points.
Reuther scored 24 and Billy Tapp added 13 for Tech.
Tech Coach Gene Gibson had praise for both squads.
“They still have a great team,” he said. “We were just
better tonight. Dadgum, I’m really proud of our re
bounding job. That’s the best we’ve done on the boards
this year.”
The Aggies now maintain a one-game lead over SMU.
The Mustangs squeezed out a 68-66 win over Baylor in
Waco Tuesday night to add excitement to the race.
With confidence, Metcalf noted, “If we can bounce back
and beat TCU Saturday night (in College Station), we’ll
get our morale up and be right back in the race.”
Waltrip’s Adams
Signs With Ags
Houston Waltrip’s outstanding
end and linebacker, Jimmy Ad
ams, signed to play football with
the Aggies Monday evening.
The 6-3, 195-pounder, a Janu
ary graduate, will enter A&M in
the fall and study engineering.
Adams, who lettered three
years at Waltrip, was signed by
Aggie Head Coach Gene Stall
ings at the end’s home, 5002 Hap
py Hollow Drive in Oak Forest.
“We think he’s one of the fin
est line prospects in the state
and the best in Houston,” Stall
ings said after the signing cere
monies.
Adams was named to the hon
orable mention list on the 4-A
all-state squad. He also made
the first team on the Houston
Post all-area team as an offen
sive end and received a similar
honor on the Post’s all-city team.
During the 1965 football cam
paign, Adams spear-headed the
Waltrip team which finished in a
three-way tie for the Zone 2
championship. Adams was the
top pass receiver in District 9-
AAAA, with 27 catches for 502
yards and four touchdowns.
He also punted for the Rams
and finished the year with a 35.6
average in 43 boots. His longest
was for 71 yards.
More than 20 major colleges
made bids for the Ram end with
Arkansas and Ole Miss the other
leading contenders.
Stallings indicated Adams
would be used as a split end and,
possibly, as a punter.
Adams also was a forward on
the Waltrip basketball squad,
now in the city playoffs.
The Aggies also announced the
signing of Brownwood’s tackle
Joe Shaw and Del Rio’s guard-
linebacker Bill Gilliam.
Shaw, 6-3, 215, was a first
team all-stater on Brownwood’s
3-A championship team, while
Gilliam, 6-1, 195, was a second
team all-state selection in class
3-A.

A lot of people believe that someday
computers will do all their thinking
for them.
Well, a funny thing is going to
happen on the way to the future:
You’re going to have to think
harder and longer than ever.
Computers can’t dream up things
like Picturephone service, Telstar®
satellite, and some of the other
advances in communications we
have made. Of course, we depended
on computers to solve some of the
problems connected with their
development. But computers need
absolutely clear and thorough
instructions, which means a new and
tougher discipline on the
human intelligence.
And it will take more than a computer
to create a pocket phone the size
of a matchbook, let’s say ... or find
a practical way to lock a door or turn
off an oven by remote telephone
control, or to make possible some of
the other things we’ll have someday.
It takes individuals ... perhaps you
could be one ... launching new
ideas, proposing innovations
and dreaming dreams.
And someday, we’re going to have to
find a way to dial locations in space.
Makes you think.
