Basketball
Is Back
By GARY SHERER
The torch has been passed, at least temporarily, at
Agg-ieland.
Basketball will take over as the main sport on campus
until around Jan. 1 when the Aggie footballers have a date
with Alabama in Dallas.

Head Coach Shelby Metcalf has had his charges work
ing hard since Nov. 1 in hopes of improvement over last
season’s 6-18 mark. It was the first losing season over
for the likeable coach from Oklahoma and the way things
look this year, he isn’t going to repeat the performance.
The Aggies return the most lettermen of any South
west Conference team, as the team that started most of
the games will return intact. In fact, last season’s captain,
Dick Rector, is the only player lost thru graduation.
Returning from last years team are leading scorer 6-9
Ronnie Peret, a junior from Plainview; most valuable player
of 1966-67, 6-5 junior Billy Bob Barnett from Brenham ; the
two floor leaders 6-3 John Underwood, senior from Honey
Grove and 6-1 junior Sonny Benefield from Sweeny. The
rebounding department won’t be hurting, with two senior
jumpers, 6-5 Buzzy Myatt from Abilene and this year’s
captain 6-3 Terry Trippett from Odessa.
All of these players will be seeing action tonight when
the Maroon and White opens its 1967-68 season in Ruston,
La. where they meet Louisiana Tech. The Aggies lost a
heartbreaker to the Louisiana team in last season’s opener.
They will hope to avenge this loss tonight.
The returnees will receive some help from some promis
ing newcomers to the team. Harry Bostic, a 6-6 transfer
from Tyler Junior College brings some impressive creden
tials along with him. The St. Paul, Ind. native was the top
scorer for Tyler last season. Sophomore Mike Heitmann,
6-4, from Houston is another player expected to push for
a starting role. Heitmann led last year’s Fish team with a
21.9 points-per-game clip.
TERRY TRIPPET
Three other sophomores expect to see a lot of action
after impressive showings from last season’s talented Fish
squad. Mike Hazel, 6-6, from San Antonio; 6-1 Bill Brown
from Galveston and Oliver Biggers, a 6-1 guard from New
Braunfels give this year’s basketballers a streamlined look.
Larry Ditto, 6-8 junior returning letterman from Breck-
enridge and Byron Chandler, 6-9 JC transfer from Waco
round out the 13-man squad.
MIKE HEITMANN
This year’s team should be improved in virtually all
phases of play according to Metcalf. Experience will be the
main attribute as the seven returning lettermen all saw
considerable playing time last season.
The battle for starting slots has been a tough one with
so many experienced hands around but it has narrowed
down to eight players who will be considered definitely for
starting assignments. Tonight’s lineup should read Peret,
Bostic and Barnett inside and Underwood and Heitmann
outside. Benefield had been hospitalized since Monday
night’s open house scrimmage but was able to make the
trip to Louisiana.
Following tonight’s game, the Aggie quintet will see
three quick home games. Trinity University of San Antonio
will invade G. Rollie White Coliseum Monday night followed
by West Texas State on Thursday and Southwest Texas
State on Saturday.
On Monday and Saturday nights Aggie fans will get to
see what Coach Jim Culpepper’s Fish crew looks like this
season. The Fish will meet Henderson County JC on Monday
and Lon Morris JC Saturday night. Both games will pre
cede the varsity contests.
BILL BROWN
Speaking of fans, that commodity was sorely lacking at
most of the Aggies home games last year. It is hard to
believe that the attendance was poor, when the Aggies ended
up with a winning home court record.
But this is a new year and last year is over and a big
crowd Monday night will kickoff the 67-68 season night.
READY TO PLAY
This group of players will
see a lot of action for Coach
Shelby Metcalf as the Ag
gies open their 1967-68 sea
son with an away contest
with Louisiana Tech at
Ruston, La. The game will
kickoff the Aggies’ 24-
game schedule.

If your husband coaches the
freshman team at A&M and your
son the freshmen at Texas, who
do you root for ?
If you are Mrs. Kay Helms,
wife of freshman coach Jake
Helms, you root for the Aggies,
of course.
It isn’t a hard decision for her
to make because she has always
been an Aggie fan. She inherited
her love of A&M from her fa
ther.
“It was really great to get to
come to A&M,” she said.
The Helms’ son, Jim, played
on the Texas team for two years.
He played several positions, in
cluding tailback, wingback and
safety. Mrs. Helms yelled for
the Aggies even though her son
was playing on the opposing
team. “I wanted Jim to make
touchdowns and play well but I
still wanted the Aggies to win,”
she recalled smiling.
The Helms tried to talk their
son into attending A&M but he
wanted to go to Texas. “I went
to LSU for my freshman year
even though I lived only 40 miles
from Texas," she said. “I just
didn’t want to go to Texas.”
Mrs. Helm is really an Aggj.
She graduated from A&M in IS
with a degree in elementaryaj;
cation. She is now working;
her master’s in education.
She teaches fourth, fifth
sixth grade English and spell
at Bowie School. She had taugi ;
school for 10 years with an em
gency certificate.
i
She enjoyed going to schooh
A&M. “1 didn’t feel out |
place,” she said. “I thought
would be the only woman in
classes but I wasn’t. I wassj
prised by the number of gii)
who go to school here.’’
She graduated on Satuii
morning and began teachingi
Bowie on Monday. “I’m glai
went back,” she said happily. 1
said I would finish college bel«
my children and I did."
Mi’s. Helms has always ha

She believes that coachingh

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 civiliza
tion 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.

If someone asked you which you would rather
have for a pet, a leopard or a pussycat—you would
probably think they were crazy. Why? Because to
you a pussycat is a soft cuddly animal—a leopard,
a ferocious beast of prey. But suppose when you
were small, someone had taught you that both ani
mals are similar? Then, the question would not seem
absurd.
So much depends upon how we’ve been taught.
A mistaken interpretation of a particular word can
distort our thinking. Take for instance, the word
Christian. Some people think of a Christian as a
fanatical do-gooder. Others see him as a hypocrite,
praying loudly on Sundays while ignoring religious
responsibility. Still others, know of the spiritual
riches to be found in following the examples of
Jesus.
Your church teaches and interprets God’s truths.
The spiritual values you learn there can illuminate
your entire life.
