Seven lettermen and an out
standing junior college transfer
from the nucleus of Texas A&M’s
1967-68 basketball team that
opened practice yesterday.
Also, four quality sophomores
up from last year’s freshman
club, another junior college trans
fer and a transfer sophomore will
be on hand to offer competion to
the veterans.
Sweeny who played with Bostic
at Tyler JC. The sophomore
transfer is Byron Chandler, 6-9,
from Waco. He played freshman
ball at Navarro JC and was at
A&M last year establishing his
eligibility.
The seven lettermen include
Johnny Underwood, 6-3, guard
from Honey Grove; Sonny Bene
field, 6-1 guard from Sweeny;
Billy Bob Barnett, 6-4, forward
from Brenham; Ronnie Peret, 6-9
center from Plainview; Terry
Trippe, 6-3 forward from Odessa;
Buzzy Wyatt, 6-5 forward-center
from Abilene and Larry Ditto, 6-8
center from Breckenridge. Under
wood, Trippet and Myatt are the
only seniors.
The Aggies lost only Dick
Rector from last year’s club and
Coach Shelby Metcalf figures to
have a better team this time
around simply because of a year’s
experience for most of the young
er players.
A&M’s non-conference foes will
be Louisiana Tech, Trinity, West
Texas State, Southwest Texas,
North Texas State and Centenary.
A&M’s season opener comes
Dec. 1 against Louisiana Tech in
Ruston, La. The first home game
will be against Trinity Dec. 4.

It is not a big book, only 32 pages counting the
covers. It won’t teach you a thing about engineering
nor would it be exciting to most people. But it will
excite a young engineer who is looking for a place
to begin a career. It tells about the 38th year of The
Shamrock Oil and Gas Corporation and an exciting
22% increase in net income over the previous year.
It tells of expansion in refining, petrochemicals, fer
tilizer, natural gas processing, exploration and trans
portation. And reading between the lines, it tells of
exciting opportunities for an engineer in a company
large enough to encourage imagination but too small
for blind alleys or pigeon holes.
It can’t tell the whole story, of course. It doesn’t
describe the pleasures of living and working in an
area of clean modern cities, clean air, clean lakes,
good schools, pretty girls and other very friendly
people. You’ll want to experience that for yourself.
We’d like to send you a copy of this book . . . our
1966 annual report. Just send us your name and
address ... a post card will do.

Inspired Aggies Prepare
For Winless Horned Frogs
BY GARY SHERER
Saturday night’s Aggie victory
left Texas Christian in a unen
viable position—the only South
west Conference team without a
victory.
TCU, with a new coach (Fred
Taylor) and a lot of new per
sonnel (many sophomores), have
been manhandled by their first
three opponents (Iowa, Georgia
Tech and Arkansas).
THE EARLY-SEASON loss of
promising halfback Norman Bu-
laich was the first setback for
Taylor. He was also unable to
solve a problem of finding a quar
terback. Last year’s quarterback,
P. D. Shabay again proved un
steady so Taylor has entrusted
the reins t o sophomore Danny
Carter.
Among - the bright spots on of
fense for the Horned Frogs are
backs Ross Montgomery and Mar
ty Whelan and center E. A. Gris
ham. On the defensive side the
Frogs can look to tackle Mike
Bratcher and end Rodney Marek.
TCU has the type of team that
while inexperienced could explode
at any time. Taylor hopes this
Saturday night the Horned Frogs
will finally set off that bomb.

The Aggies, of course, are none
the worse for wear after their
28-2 1 chiffhanger w i t h Texas
Tech. Practice this week should
be a little more joyful with that
first victory under their belts.
Coach Gene Stallings’ defensive
secondary changes worked out
well as Tech was 5-18 in the air
and the Aggies picked off three
passes. Two of the interceptions
were by Ross Brupbacher, who re
placed Tom Sooy when the regu
lar cornerback came up lame af
ter a first quarter play.
Tommy Maxwell saw double du
ty as he split his time between
end and safety. Jimmy Adams
was moved back to split end for
the game.
STALLINGS HOPES he has
now found a winning combination
and will be able to stick with the
offensive and defensive align
ments as they are now. Lineback.
ers Buster Adami and Bill Hobhs
were both outstanding in the Tech
game as they were called on to
make many stops during the Red
Raiders third quarter touchdown
drives.
All Aggie fans hope that the
Maroon and White have finally
found that road hack and that it
will mean a possible SWC title.
Anything can happen however,
in the zany SWC race.
