Aggies Meet Baylor Bears Tonight
Page 4
THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Tuesday, February 21, IS
By GARY SHERER
The high-scoring Baylor Bears
come to G. Rollie White Coliseum
tonight for an 8 o’clock encounter
with the Aggies.
FRESH OFF a 101-75 drubbing
of Texas at Austin Saturday
night, Baylor brings a potent 82.5
floor percentage with them, led
by their one-two punch, Darrell
Hardy and Jimmy Turner.
Hardy and Turner, both Hous
ton products, currently are run
ning first and second in the South
west Conference scoring race.
Turner is the top scorer for the
season with a 21.3 average for
20 games. Hardy is at 21.2, as
the duo are only two points apart
in the season averages. In the
SWC only, Hardy leads with a
22.6 reading as compared with
Turner’s 20.9 mark.
WITH TWO players capable of
consistent double figure scoring,
Baylor is a hard team to defense.
The Bears’ SWC record is 5-5 and
their overall mark is 11-9. Even
with a strong offense, Baylor has
lost quite a few because their de
fense against scoring is the worst
in the league.
Coach Bill Mienefee’s charges
started off slowly this year in the
SWC and then went on a hot
streak and won four in a row.
Just as fast as they got hot, they
experienced a losing streak and
the win over Texas broke a three-
game losing streak.
IN THEIR first game with
Baylor this year, it was a sec
ond-half poor shooting perform
ance by the Maroon and White
that spelled defeat for the young
team. Only down by seven points
at halftime, Baylor ran away with
the game in the second period and
won 93-65.
Possibly the key to Baylor win
ning or losing is the performance
of two other Baylor players.
These men are 6-5 junior college
transfer Ed Thorp and 6-6 sopho
more Steve Bartels. When this
duo is hitting enough to back up
Hardy and Turner, the result is
usually a win for the Bears.
IN THE Texas game, the
Hardy-Turner team hit 22 each.
Bartels and Thorpe added 31 be
tween them, while the eight other
team members could contribute
only 26 points. The key, then, to
stopping Baylor is to stop their
third and fourth scorers, as there
is practically no defense for the
scoring of its SWC one-two scor-
Speaking of scoring, there was
n’t very much in the Aggies game

Game
In Crucial
Tonight
By JERRY GRISHAM
A&M’s Fish cagers will be
fighting for their conference lives
today when the undefeated Baylor
Cubs come to G. Rollie White Coli
seum at 5:45 p.m.
The Cubs, with a season record
of 9-1 and an unblemished South
west Conference record of 6-0, can
sew up the league championship
with a win over the young Aggies.
The Fish, on the other hand,
must win to remain in contention
for the conference crown. They
stand at 6-3 for the season and
at 4-1 for conference play, their
only loss in league play coming at
the hands of the Cubs in a 83-82
overtime game in Waco.
THE BAYLOR five spent last
week polishing off two of the
conference’s toughest teams, Tex
as Christian and Texas. The Wogs
fell 76-62 and the Shorthorns came
out on the short end of an over
time battle 81-80.
The Aggies come into the game
after a 10-day layoff, their last
game being a 84-70 victory over
the Rice Owlets Feb. 11.
After today’s game the Cubs
have only one more game. They

take on a weak Southern Metho
dist squad which they slammed
87-63 earlier in the season.
A&M VICTORY over the Cubs
could go far toward giving the
Fish at least a share in the con
ference crown, but, unlike Baylor,
the Aggies have two tough road
games ahead. Saturday they
travel to Austin to play the
Shorthorns and March 2 they
finish the season at Fort Worth
against the Wogs.
The Cubs will be bringing in
the heavy artillery tonight in the
form of 6-5 forwad Larry Gate-
wood, whose scoring average for
the season is a hot 25.6. Leading
rebounder for the Baylor five is
a 6-4 forward, Tommy Bowman,
Adio has averaged 16.7 rebounds
per game.
THE FISH will go with the
combination which has proved
good to them this season. Mac
Hooten and Bill Brown will start
at the guard positions, Oliver Big-
gers and Mike Heitmann take the
forward assignments and Mike
Hazel will be at center.
Saturday night with the Texas
Tech Red Raiders.
THE MAROON and White em
ployed a fine deliberate style of
play and controlled the ball about
70 per cent of the time. But, the
Aggies lost the ball game, 41-36,
at Lubbock because they could not
get the lead.
The Aggies never led, and when
using a deliberate style, getting
the lead is a must and this meant
a losing effort. The attack was
in contrast to the slow-down type
of offense, because the Aggies
were always trying to score. The
low score came because the Ag
gies only went for the sure shot
and their first-half shooting of
100 per cent bears out the sure-
shot theory.
The halftime score was 19-17.
The Aggies could have been in the
lead, but a streak of five missed
foul shots the first part of the
ball game spelled loss for the
Aggies.
THE AGGIES got the tipoff to
start the game and worked the
ball for 2 minutes and 11 seconds.
Ronnie Peret was fouled but the
6-9 sophomore failed to convert
his free throw and Tech rebound
ed and Vernon Paul put the Red
Raiders ahead 2-0 on a jump shot.
Following Peret’s miss, the Ag
gies missed four successive foul
shots and Tech took the lead 5-0.
Sonny Benefield got the Aggies
on the scoreboard after six minu
tes had elapsed with a layup to
make it 5-2.
The rest of the game saw the
Aggies controlling the ball and
trying to catch-up. The team fol
lowed th^ game plan well and
had the Tech players confused
much of the time. But as this
style of play is very precise, mis
takes can be frequent because of
excessive ball-handling. The Ag
gies unfortunately made too many
turnovers before they could get
a shot off.
AS THE Tech players were con
fused, the crowd was also. Their ;|
reaction to the Aggies game plan
was quite a bit less than happy.
In many ways, they showed their
discontent and it did not add to
the observation of the ballgame
by many of the fans.
BILLY BOB Barnett led the Ag
gies scoring with 14 points. The
Brenham sophomore played prob
ably his best game as he made
good on four of seven shots from
the field. Barnett also pulled
down seven rebounds and per
formed well on defense for a fine
all-around performance.
Coach Shelby Metcalf isn’t say
ing what style his team will be
using in tonight’s game, but Bay
lor would probably like to know.
The Bears, as well as a hoped for
good turnout, will find out after
the opening tipoff tonight as the
Aggies go into their next-to-last
home game.
THE LAMPASAS High School
girls drill team — The Flames —
will perform at halftime of to

Examining produce in an open-air marketplace in Lisbon is one way to broaden one’s knowl
edge of the ways of the Portuguese people. These girls found exploring the markets of cities around
the world a relaxing change from studies undertaken during a semester at sea on Chapman College’s
floating campus —now called World Campus Afloat.
Alzada Knickerbocker of Knoxville,Tennessee,—in the plaid dress —returned from the study-
travel semester to complete her senior year in English at Radcliffe College.
Jan Knippers of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, a graduate of the University of Tennessee, and a
former Peace Corps Volunteer, first pursued graduate studies in International Relations and re
turned a second semester as a teaching assistant in Spanish on the world-circling campus.
Students live and attend regular classes aboard the s.s. RYNDAM, owned by the ECL Shipping
Co. of Bremen for which the Holland-America Line acts as general passenger agent. In-port activi
ties are arranged to supplement courses taught aboard ship.
As you read this, the spring semester voyage of discovery is carrying 450 undergraduate and
graduate students through the Panama Canal to call at ports in Venezuela. Brazil, Argentina, Nigeria,
Senegal, Morocco, Spain. Portugal, The Netherlands, Denmark and Great Britain, returning to New
York May 25.
Next fall World Campus Afloat —Chapman College will take another 500 students around the
world from New York to Los Angeles and in the spring, a new student body will journey from
Los Angeles to ports on both west and east coasts of South America, in western and northern
Europe and as far east as Leningrad before returning to New York.
