THE BATTALION
Ags Play Texas Tech Tonight
By GARY SHERER
The Red Raiders from Texas
Tech will be in G. Rollie White
Coliseum at 8 tonight for a South
west Conference game with the
Aggies.
TECH, 1-5 in the SWC, are hav
ing the same type season as the
Aggies this year. They have the
same record (3-13) and their main
fault is that they can’t get the
ball through the basket at a con
sistent pace.
After losing their four top scor
ers from last year, Tech has
adopted a deliberate style of of
fense. It is basically the same
attack they have used since their
present coach, Gene Gibson, as
sumed the reins in 1960. Gibson
said before the season that be
cause of the loss of the top four
starters he had to have a change
in tactics. The deliberate style
is that change.
Tech’s scoring attack has been
topped by two returnees from last
year’s fourth place SWC entry.
Senior Dave Olson leads with 14.5
for SWC play and 11.6 for the
season. Junior Vernon Paul a
Ali Tops Ernie
In 15-Rounder
By JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
HOUSTON (A*)—Cassius Clay
turned butcher and gave big
Ernie Terrell a savage, bloody
beating Monday for a unanimous
15-round decision that removed
all doubts about his rights to the
undisputed world heavyweight
title.
Terrell, recognized as champ
by the World Boxing Association
after it withdrew its recognition
of Clay, was a slow-moving, easy
target for the speedy Clay who
battered him around both eyes.
Terrell’s right eye was closed
to a narrow slit from the fourth
round on and he bled off and on
from a sliced right eyebrow after
the seventh.
Big Ernie, from Chicago and
Atlantic City, N. J., never went
down but he never was in it.
Clay taunted Terrell and asked,
“What’s my name?” in the eighth
and ninth as he gave the 6-foot-6
Terrell the same kind of beating
he had handed ex-champ Floyd
Patterson at Las Vegas, Nev., in
1965.
Patterson was a TKO victim,
but Terrell went the route with
out hitting the deck.
Terrell had called Clay by his
given name at a meeting during
the publicity buildup for the fight
and refused to use the Muslim
name, Muhammad Ali, that Clay
prefers.
It was the 28th straight victory
for the unbeaten, 25-year-old Clay
who announced Saturday he was
moving to Houston as his latest
adopted city.
Referee Harry Kessler scored
the fight 148-138, Judge Jimmie
Webb had it 148-133 and Judge
Ernie Taylor 148-137, all for
Clay. The AP card was 149-136,
giving Terrell only one round—
the second by a shade.
“I wanted to knock him out
after eight, but he wouldn’t go,”
Clay said.
The champion added:
“He just stood there taking my
punches, hoping to tire me out.
But he didnt’ hurt me. I don’t
have any scratches on me.”
Terrell, acknowledged as a left
jab artist, fought with both hands
high in the peek-a-boo style Pat
terson used to use.
Clay found it hard to pierce
that defense in the first few
rounds but soon found his target.
Ernie also had trouble unleashing
his fine left jab from that posi
tion and concentrated more on
wild right hand punches to the
body.
After the fight was over, Ter
rell made two trips to Clay’s
corner to offer his congratula
tions to his unmarked opponent.
At 212 ^ pounds, Terrell had a
four-ounce edge on Clay who
scaled 212V4 pounds.
6-7 Lawton, Okla. product is
hitting at 12.5 in the conference
and has a 11.0 norm for the sea
son.
THE RED RAIDER’S one con
ference win has been over Rice
at Lubbock, while they have lost
to TCU, Arkansas, and Texas on
the road and dropped home deci
sions to Baylor and SMU.
After Saturday night’s SWC
action, Tech is now in last place.
The Aggies at 2-4 are holding
down the fourth spot, with Ar
kansas (2-5) between the Aggies
and Tech in fifth. SMU, at 6-1,
is in first with TCU and Baylor
tied for second at 4-2 and Texas
and Rice are 3-3 for third.
THE AGGIES suffered their
fourth and worst conference de
feat Saturday night to Baylor at
Waco by a 93-65 count.
The season-long nemisis of poor
shooting was the main reason for
the loss, as the Aggies 36-per cent
shooting statistics attest.
It was a close game for the
first half as the Aggies stayed
even with the Bears and led for
the first 14 minutes. Baylor
caught the Aggies at this point
and the two teams traded baskets
until the Bears took over and led
at halftime 47-40.
The 4,000 in attendence at
Heart O’Texas Coliseum, expect
ing a just as close second half,
were pleasantly surprised as Bay
lor ran away with the game after
intermission.
AFTER A JOHN Underwood
layup started the second half scor
ing, the Bears started hitting and
the iMaroon and White started
missing. With ten minutes left,
Baylor had increased their lead
to 69-53 and five minutes later it
was 81-56 and the game was all
but over.
Billy Bob Barnett was high for
the Aggies with 16 as the 6-4
Brenham sophomore turned in an
other hustling ball game. Ron
nie Peret, Sonny Benefield and
Buzzy Myatt supported Barnett’s
total with nine apiece.
BAYLOR’S scoring was led by
their one-two punch of Darrell
Hardy and Jimmy Turner who
each garnered 19. Steve Bartels,
Bob Porter and Jim Allen were
runners-up with 10 each.
The Aggies were 25 for 70
from the floor and 15 of 31 from
the foul line. Baylor popped in
33 of 75 field goal trys and con
verted 27 of 34 free throws.
Peret, Benefield and Underwood
are still the top three SWC scor
ers for the Aggies with 12.2, 12.0
and 10.0 readings respectively.
Barnett replaces Underwood as
number three scorer when season
stats are reviewed. Barnett is
hitting at 10.0 for the season,
topped by Peret’s 13.4 and Bene
field’s 12.0.

Keating Sets Mark
In Aggie Swim Win
By CHARLES ROWTON
Battalion Sports Writer
Jerry Rating’s pool record in
the 66%-yard freestyle high
lighted a Texas A&M swimming
and diving team which swept past
Rice and TCU Saturday at P. L.
Downs Natatorium. Keating
swam the distance in 31.9 seconds.
The swim meet pitted each
team individually against the
other two. The Aggies defeated
Rice, 75-21, and crushed TCU,
84-8. The Fish followed suit by
beating Rice, 79-17, and TCU,
87-5.
DOUBLE winners for the Ag
gies were Steve Ash in the 500-
yard freestyle and the 1000-yard
freestyle and John Wood in the
100-yard freestyle and the 200-
yard freestyle.
John Beal, Mike Pettit, Roger
Byrne and Tom Holder won the
400-yard medley relay, with
David George, Randy Archer,
Roger Byrne and Bob Dommel
teaming to take the 400-yard free
style relay.
Other Aggie winners were John
Beal in the 133%-yard medley,
Roger Byrne in the 200-yard fly,
Tom Holder in the 200-yard back-
stroke and Mike Pettit in the 200-
yard breaststroke.
SOPHOMORE divers Mike
Murphy and Bob Nida completed
the sweep by finishing 1-2 in
their competition.
In a year that was supposed
to be spent on rebuilding the
Aggies came through in fine style
in their first meet. With 12 sopho
mores on the 17-man squad, the
outlook for a high finish in the
Southwest Conference for the
next few years appears bright.
It looks even brighter after
seeing the results of the fresh
men squad’s first competition.
The Fish won 10 of 11 events.
Colin Dunn, Larry Linn, John
Greenhut and Paul Jennings won
the 266%-yard medley relay and
Jerry Deutsch, Bob Stallings,
John Applegath and Larry Sher
rill won the 400-yard freestyle
relay.
INDIVIDUAL winners for the
Fish squad were Jim Siffert in
the 200-yard freestyle, Hank
Paup in the 66%-yard freestyle,
Paul Jennings in the 100-yard
freestyle, with Bill Barlow finish
ing second in the 400-yard free
style.
Colin Dunn won the 133%-yard
medley; John Greenhut took the
100-yard butterfly; Mike O’Brian
won the 100-yard backstroke and
Larry Linn garnered top spot in
the 100-yard breaststroke. Diver
Jack Neagle’s victory concluded
the domination of the meet by the
freshmen.
The Aggies will host the Uni
versity of Arkansas in their next
meet at P. L. Downs Natatorium
at 7 p.m. Saturday.

said after the game that the best
team won. It marked the first
time in conference play this year
that the Aggies really were out
of the ball game before the final
buzzer.
Metcalf said on his weekly tele
vision show Sunday afternoon
that the Tech game was perhaps
the most important for the boys
this year. His view was echoed
by Peret and Larry Ditto who
were guests on the program.
The Aggies three wins this year
have all come on the friendly
floor of their home court, so Met
calf is hoping for good perform
ance from his team. Tonight’s
game will be the halfway point
for the Aggies SWC games this
year and they will begin the sec
ond go-round with Rice Saturday
at Houston.
IN THE prelim of Saturday
night’s game, the Baylor Cubs
proved that if you put the ball
up at the basket enough it is
bound to go in.
Taking 20 more shots than the
Fish, they made two more bas
kets and, although not coming up
with a good percentage, scored
an 83-82 victory.
Larry Gatewood, a 6-5 forward
from Oklahoma City, epitomized
the Cub attack as he took 34
shots, with half of them falling
through. The rest of the club
took only six more shots than
Gatewood and were not as suc
cessful, only completing 12 of
them.
THE FISH meanwhile were
hitting 27 for 64 from the floor
and led most of the game by mar
gins up to four points, but could
not pull away. The Fish took a
halftime lead of 38-34 brought
