JlDSAr lASPUS Aggies Visit Rice On Saturday By GARY SHERER The Aggies have ■ a chance to move higher in the Southwest Conference Saturday night when they meet the Rice Owls at Hous ton. BOTH THE MAROON and White and Rice have 3-4 confer ence records as the result of Tuesday night’s action. The Ag gies topped Texas Tech in a 70- 67 thriller here and Rice lost to Texas, 81-73 at Austin. The Aggies start their second round of conference games as the Tech game completed the first round. The Owls came to College Station Jan. 3 and the Aggies won 69-66. SINCE THAT game, Rice has certainly improved and its accom plishments have won many ac colades for its new coach, Don Knodel. Though their record is a losing one (6-10) their fans had been used to only half that many wins for a whole season in the past. The Owls are led by 6-6 senior Bill Doty from Clear Creek. Doty is third in the SWC in scoring in both league games and full sea son and has carried most of the scoring load for Rice. Doty has an 18.1 season aver age and a 17.0 norm in SWC play. Larry Miller, 6-3 junior from San Antonio gives Doty support with 14.4 for the season and a 13.7 SWC reading. ANOTHER THREAT for the Owls is 5-9 sophomore Greg Wil liams from Portland, Ind. The small guard is not considered a threat from the field because much to Knodel’s protests he doesn’t shoot much. Where he is dangerous is from the foul line. Williams has one of the leading free-throw percentages in the na tion. When reviewing Rice’s SWC record it proves out the theory that a SWC team at home doesn’t lose very much. RICE HAS played three home games and won them all. They have played four on the road and lost them all. The Aggies can also lay claim to this distinction as they have the same conference record with almost the same re sults. Speaking of the conference, Southern Methodist still is on top of the league race with a 6-1 rec ord. Texas Christian is in sec ond at 5-2 with Baylor and Texas tied for third at 4-3. The Aggies and Rice are next, with Arkansas at 2-5 close behind. Texas Tech at 1-6 is, of course, in the cellar. After the Texas Tech game, John Underwood and Sonny Bene field are now the leading Aggie SWC scorers. The two guards are hitting at a 11.7 average. RONNIE PERET is still the leading season scorer with a 12.7 average. He is now hitting at 10.4 after being shutout in the Tech game. Benefield is runner- up to Peret for the season at 11.8. Billy Bob Barnett is next with an even 10 point season average. Aggie Coach Shelby Metcalf was both pleased and exhausted following Tuesday night’s game with Tech. The Aggies were hot in the first half and showed a shooting consistency that had been missing in previous games. However, while Metcalf had the first half with which to be pleased, the second half saw the Aggies start missing and the Ag gie mentor reluctantly saw the return of the shooting inconsist ency. METCALF pointed out that the cold second half was something that has happened a lot to his team this year and that he hoped it wouldn’t occur again. This sea son has not been a successful one as far as record goes, but there are some advantages to a year like this. With a team that has as much inexperience as this year’s edi tion, there has to be mistakes and, at times, a lot of them. But, the main advantage is that these young players are getting the needed experience to make them a better team next year. In reviewing the player per formance of the Tech game, Met calf singled out Barnett for his 12 rebounds. The Brenham soph omore came up with eight of the rebounds in the second half and his efforts helped the Aggie comeback after they had lost their lead. REBOUNDS, WHICH had been an Aggie strong point this year, have suffered in the last two ball George Bernard Shaw be darned! Youth isn’t wasted on the young. And the young don’t waste their time at Celanese. Our top people are never old-fashioned about any new idea, whether it comes from middle management or from our youngest college grad. We have a master plan and the vitality to make it work. Marketing is way-out and zeroed right in. Finance knows that we have better things to do with our money than let it grow barnacles... shelled out $465 million in capital expenditures over the last 3 years. In the scientific department, we combine technical insight with an unusual grasp of marketing dynamics. Thinking young explains how we chalked-up one of the most impressive corporate rebuilding jobs in recent history. How we turned what was basically a one-product business into a solid and diverse international corporation dealing in chemicals, miracle fibers, plastics, paints, petroleum and forest products. How we multiplied sales 5 fold in 10 years. How we now have 100 plants in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia. Possibly we could afford to relax a little. But success makes young blood run even faster. Which means that the ambitious college grad couldn’ find a more provocative opportunity anywhere else in American industry.

The Aggies had. usually out-rebounded their opponents but have come out second in that department in the Baylor and Tech game. Saturday night’s contest will be an important one for Metcalf for another reason. The Aggie coach has never lost to Rice since he took over the reins in 1964. In fact, the closest the Owls have come to winning was in Metcalf’s first game with them as head coach. The score was 74-70 in a game played at College Station. Page 6 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Friday, February 10, M? Fish Face In Varsity Owlets Prelim BILLY BOB BARNETT Twelve rebounds against Texas Tech. REGARDLESS OF the good record against Rice, Metcalf’s only thoughts are upon winning Saturday night. The game should shape up as pretty even, but be cause of the tremendous home- court advantage that most SWC teams have, Rice will most likely be favored. Ag Bowling Team In Tournament At MSC Saturday Following the Rice game, the Aggies will be at home Tuesday night against Arkansas and, hopefully, there will be a good crowd on hand. The Razorbacks just nipped the Aggies at Little Rock last month, 47-46, and with the home court theory applied again, the Aggies should come out with a win. The bowling alley in the Me morial Student Center will be the site of a Texas Intercollegiate Bowling Congress tournament Saturday, beginning at 9 a.m. Member schools bowling in the tournament are University of Texas, Arlington State, Rice, Texas Christian, Southwest Texas State College, University of Houston, Trinity and A&M. A&M’s first match will be against Trinity and they will fol low with matches against Arling ton State and Texas. By JERRY GRISHAM The Fish cagers get back into conference action Saturday night against the Rice Owlets in Hous ton, but they will be in what is for them this season an unaccus tomed position in the conference race—second place. Their drop from first to second in the conference ratings was a result of their 83-82 loss to the Baylor Cubs last Saturday night. With their victory over the Fish, the Cubs took over the confer ence lead with a perfect record of 2-0. Last Tuesday night the Cubs strengthened their hold on first place and boosted their record to 3-0 when they defeated the TCU Polliwogs. ALTHOUGH THEY have only played three conference games, compared with four for the other two leaders, A&M (3-1) and Tex as (2-2), two of those wins came against these leaders. The Cubs blasted the Shorthorns 88-74. Going into Saturday’s game against the Owlets the Fish are in a precarious position.

College Ave., Bryan An Independent Bible Church 9:16 A.M.—Sunday School 11:00 A.M.—Morning Worship 7 :30 P.M.—Evening Worship When Abraham Lincoln sat quietly reading a book, it’s doubtful that he ever imagined that one day his giant, brooding statue would be a national landmark, and that he would be known throughout the world. Basically, Lincoln was a simple man, his nature as essentially rugged and rustic as the log cabin in which he was born. His life, from beginning to end, was a hard one, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Yet, throughout terrible trial, he never lost his faith in God. Lincoln wasn’t “born i’eligiouis.” Faith came to him the hard way, just as every thing else did. But once he had found, it, his devotion knew no limit. Most of the great men in our country’s history have been devoted. Why? Because experience has shown them that no man can go it alone. That we, all of us, need God’s guidance. The place to seek that guidance is in the church of your choice. THE CHURCH FOR ALL ... ... ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civili zation can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.
