THE BATTALION
High-Scoring Longhorns Here Tonight
By GARY SHERER
Those high-scoring Texas
Longhorns come into G. Rollie
White Coliseum tonight for an 8
o’clock encounter with the Ag
gies.
The Steers have eclipsed the
century mark on two occasions
When Sour
nice boys
Go Ape—
The
Monkees
There’s Monkee gum, Monkee
caps, Monkee boots, Monkee
pants, two hit Monkee singles,
over 3 million copies of the
Monkees’ first album and soon
there may be Monkee depart
ments in over 1,600 stores.
However, the Saturday Eve
ning Post report on America’s
homegrown Beatles shows
that being a Monkee is not
quite as much fun as a barrel
of monkeys. Their records
were "prefabricated” and, ac
cording to Monkee Mike Nes
mith, "totally dishonest.. .the
music had nothing to do with
us.” But Monkees owner and
creator, Screen Gems, has big
ger problems than its stars'
disenchantment. It’s wonder
ing how the fans will react
when they discover that the
Monkee sound isn’t really their
own. Then there’s a reported
$6.85-million lawsuit charging
that the Monkees TV show for
mat was stolen. And there’s
the question of whether Eng
land’s Beatles will yell foul.
But otherwise . . .
In the same issue read a
major Post report on America’s
sex-crime rate, the world’s
highest, and what's being done
about it. That’s the January 28
issue of The Saturday Evening
Post. Get your copy today.

this year and in eight other
games were over 80 points.
The outside accuracy of sharp
shooters Noel Stout, Dale Dot-
son and Billy Arnold give the
Longhorns a potent scoring at
tack. This, combined with the
inside prowess of 6-5 Charley
Turnbough and 6-5 Scotty Brown,
gives the Texas five a seasoned
starting unit.
Stout, 6-3 senior from Dallas is
the leading scorer with a 16.1
average. Arnold is at 12.9 and
Turnbough is hitting at a 12.1
clip.
As a unit, Texas is scoring at
a 49.6 percentage and that is an
impressive figure to try and stop
for the Aggies.
Texas coach Harold Bradley
brings a 8-6 career record against
the Aggies into this game as the
Longhorns are at this point 3-1
in SWC play. Overall this sea
son, Texas is 9-5.
The Aggies were again losers
in the final seconds over the
weekend at Little Rock. The
Arkansas Razorbacks pulled out
a 47-46 victory as two last-second
shots by the Aggies were unsuc
cessful.
The Porkers’ Wally Freeman
hit a foul shot with 15 seconds
remaining and this proved to be
the margin as the Aggies failed
to convert a play set up after a
timeout with seven seconds re
maining.
The Aggies were never far be
hind in the game and took the
lead with several minutes re
maining but were unable to hold
it.
There were only 101 shots tak
en in the game by both teams.
While this is a small amount,
there were even smaller amounts
converted. The Aggies had 18
for 51 for 35.3 and the Hogs hit
at 38 percent on 19 of 50.
With the poor shooting it had
to be the closeness of the game
that kept the 4,000 in attendance
on the edge of their seats. The
Aggies are now 1-3 in the con
ference while Arkansas evened
their mark at 2-2.
Ronnie Peret was high for the
Aggies with 17 and Sonny Bene
field added 13. High for Arkan
sas was Tommy Rowland with 16
and David Self chipped in 12.
Aggie Coach Shelby Metcalf
knows that a win will help the
team’s spirit immeasurably and
hopes that tonight’s game will
see the immergence of a winning
combination.
The Southwest Conference is
evenly balanced this year as evi
denced by the first few ball
games so the Aggies will defi
nitely have a chance in this one
tonight and will be ready for the
opening tipoff.
SCORING LEADER
Noel Stout, Texas’ 6-3 senior guard is the Longhorn lead
ing scorer this season and threatens to be the highest
scorer in Texas University history, since Jay Arnette’s
record year of 1960.

Where Is Everybody?
EDITOR’S NOTE: “Figures don’t lie but liars do
figure,” anonymous once said and it is true some of the
time.
For the Aggie home games so far, it is not true. Grant
ed the attendance figures are correct but the ones who
figure them wish they were a lie and that there were a lot
more attendance figures to count.
In five home games this year, the Aggies have played
to slightly less than 15,000 people. During the football
season, there were that many people in Kyle Field a half
hour before gametime.
This is a rebuilding year for the Aggies and they have
lost eleven games to this point. Regardless of this fact,
they are still an A&M athletic representative and they
represent the spirit of the Aggies.
Let’s quit making excuses for missing these games and
get out and support the Maroon and White when they take
the floor tonight against their opponent. Oh yes, their
opponent tonight is Texas need I say more.

The Texas Ag-gie Fish and the
Texas University Shorthorns col
lide tonight at 5:45 in G. Rollie
White Coliseum to determine the
leader in the freshman ranks of
Southwest Conference basketball.

(When you can't afford to be dull)
we do,” Fish Coach Jim Culpep
per said, “and at the beginning
of the year they were considered
the team to beat. We feel that
if we can beat Texas we’ll he way
down the road then with a 3-0
record.”
At the present time both teams
are in a tie for the lead with
identical 2-0 SWC records.
To try and offset the height
advantage enjoyed by the Short
horns, the Fish will employ a
"spread” offense in an attempt
to draw the Texas defenders out
from the nets and give the small
but quick Fish a chance to break
inside for their shots.
“We are going to press them,”
Culpepper noted. “We may not
start with the press, but before
the night is over I’m sure we’ll
use it.”
The game will really be a con
test of Davids and Goliaths pit
ting the speed and agility of the
Fish against the size and
strength of the Shorthorns.
