Ags Make Mistakes In Opening Loss
BY GARY SHERER
Aggie Coach Shelby Metcalf
was a picture of disconsolation
at the end of the Aggies 53-50
loss to Louisiana Tech last night.
The basketball season was ush
ered in at Aggieland on a sad
note, as the Aggies suffered a
severe case of “colditis” com
pounded by “tumoveritis.”
It was definitely first-game
jitters for both teams as they
were cold from the floor in the
first half and even colder in the
second 20 minutes.
A&M finished with 20 field
goals out of 61 attempts for a
32.8 percentage, while the Bull
dogs from Ruston, La., hit 20 of
69 for 29 per cent. The three
point difference in the game was
made up in the 13 to 10 foul shot
margin for Tech.
Under the cool leadership of
Leon Barmore, the Louisiana five
led most of the game. The mar
gin stretched to eight points mid
way in the second half.
Tech’s advance publicity fea
tured their big men, notably 7’
Charles Bishop and 6’11” Richard
Peek. But Thursday night, it was
the ball-handling and ball-hawk
ing of their two small guards
that kept them in the lead.
The 5’10” Barmore and 5’9”
Jim Pruett made several steals
throughout the game and usually
came up with a crucial bucket
when it w a s needed. Barmore
finished the game with 16 points
for the night’s top honors for
both teams. Billy Bob Barnett
was high for the Aggies, hitting
45 per cent from the floor and
15 points. Barnett was followed
closely by Ronnie Peret, with 12,
and John Underwood, with 11.
The Aggies could not keep
from making mistakes and
turned the ball over on several
tight moments where a basket
would have made a big differ
ence. Dick Rector played a fine
floor game for the Aggies but
did not score and because of foul
trouble had to sit out some early
action.
The lead see-sawed from the
opening tipoff until the 6:51
mark of the first half. Tech took
a lead that carried into halftime
with the Bulldogs on top 33-27.
Tech’s Bishop, though towering
over everyone, could not manage
a rebound for 13 minutes and
didn’t have a basket until 15
minutes had elapsed.
“He’s young and learning,”
said Tech Coach Scotty Robert
son after the game. “His play
satisfied me for his first college
game.”
The partisan G. Rollie White
Coliseum crowd of about 3,500
yelled encouragement as the Ag
gies staged a second-half come
back led by Barnett and Under
wood. The sophomore-laden Ag
gies pulled the deficit to two
points as they reeled off four
straight points to start the sec
ond half.
The two-point spread prevailed
until two buckets each by Pruett
and Malcom Smith capped by a
22-foot jump shot by Barmore
pulled Tech to a 45-37 lead with
12:44 remaining.
At this point, the Aggies came
back and, following a three-point
play by Peret, took the lead 48-
47 with 7:20 left to go in the
game. Barmore again proved the
equalizer as he swished in a
jumper from the left corner to
put Tech back to the lead.
Now, with the crowd on their
feet, a Peret tip gave the lead
back to the Aggies with 5:50 re
maining. Again, Barmore hit an
other jumper, this one from 27
feet out to put the Bulldogs back
ahead to stay.
The Aggies called three time
outs to try and figure the win
ning play, but they could not find
the basket with their futile shots.
After a foul shot by Peek put
Tech ahead 52-50, the Aggies
called their final timeout.
With 18 seconds left, the ball
went to Peret who drove to the
basket but saw his desperate shot
hit the bottom of the rim and
he then fouled Tech’s Smith on
the rebound try.
This was Peret’s fifth personal,
and as he walked to the bench,
his expression mirrored the
thoughts of the Aggies as Smith
strode to the charity-stripe to
sink the final foul shot that sunk
Ag hopes.
Robertson praised the Aggie
defense at the end of the game
and agreed that the play of his
guards was the difference. Met
calf’s expression at game’s end,
revealed he possibly thought dif
ferently as he ambled slowly to
the dressing room.
On a happier note, the Fish
made a victorious start with a
78-61 triumph over Lon Morris
Junior College, in the night’s
prelim.

Please don't
zlupf Sprite.
It makes
plenty of noise
all by itself.
Sprite, you recall, is
the soft drink that's
so tart and tingling,
we just couldn't keep
it quiet.
Flip its lid and it
really flips.
Bubbling, fizzing,
gurgling, hissing and
carrying on all over
the place.
An almost exces
sively lively drink.
Hence, to zlupf is
to err. •
What is zlupfing?
RCGlSTf RI O TRADE MARK
Zlupfing is to drinking what
smacking one's lips is to
eating.
It's the staccato buzz you
make when draining the last few
deliciously tangy drops of
Sprite from the boctle with a
straw.
Zzzzzlllupf!
It's completely uncalled for,
Frowned upon in polite society.
And not appreciated on campus
either.
But. If zlupfing Sprite
is absolutely essential to your
enjoyment; if a good healthy
zlupf is your idea of heaven,
well...all right.
But have a heart. With a
drink as noisy as Sprite, a
little zlupf goes a long, long
way.
SPRITE. SO TART AND
TINGLING. WE JUST COULDN'T
KEEP IT QUIET.

Special
Deal on 1967
Chevrolets
If you’re under 25
you need this dial
to save your neck.
FOR
Graduating Seniors
Dear Aggie Senior:
We have been alloted extra cars to be sold to graduating seniors, and
because these cars do not come out of our regular allotment we can make a
special price on any car in our line.
I invite you to come in and let us explain this special deal on a new
1967 Chevrolet of your choice. Because this is a special price deal, we
must quote the price to you in person.
In addition to the special deal, we offer the following services to graduat
ing seniors only:
★ SPECIAL LOW INTEREST RATES, GMAC or Bank Financing
★ NO DOWN PAYMENT - First Payment Due March 1, 1967
★ 36 MONTHS TO PAY
★ ONE YEAR INSURANCE
No matter how toughyour beard is,
the skin of your neck is still tender
because shaving hasn’t chewed it up or
turned it crusty yet. Shaving can do that
because ordinary shaving devices make
no adjustment for that tender skin.
The REMINGTON® 200 Selectro
shaver has a dial with a special posi
tion just for your neck.
Position number one is designed to
protect that very tender skin—the skin
most shaving devices cut, scratch, redden
and irritate. Yet it gives you the closest
shave you’ve ever had—while it’s pro
tecting your neck.
Another part of the Remington
protection is that it has exclusive guard
combs that lift up the hairs (even the
thin, curly hairs of your neck) and slick
them off.
By lifting the whiskers, the guard
combs also prevent ingrown hairs that
can cause skin blemishes.
After you've saved your neck, posi
tions 2, 3 and 4 will protect the rest of
your face.
When you turn the dial, the cutters
raise up and adjust to your particular
beard. Because the new REMINGTON
200 Selectro shaver has a bigger shaving
surface, you don’t have to rub and scrub
your skin raw red, to get a closer shave.
That goes for touching up your lip or
shaving your whole face for the first time
in three days.
There’s a special position just for
sideburns. Number 5.
Turn the dial and up comes the biggest
pop-up trimmer ever. Does a straight,
even, neat job on sideburns.
And it’s good for back-of-the-neck
jobs, too, between trips to the barber.
The easiest electric shaver clean
ing ever.
Number 6 on the dial. Just click; the side
panels flip open and, with a pffft from
you, it’s clean. That’s all there is to it.
The price. The good news is that it
actually costs less than most ordinary
shavers that don’t care if a man under
25 gets it in the neck.
