Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, December 8, 1967 THE BATTALION Ass Remain Unbeaten With 89-83 Win Over W. Texas i! r By GARY SHERER Terry Trippet hails from the West Texas city of Odessa. Thursday night, Trippet showed no partiality for a team from his area and led the Aggies to a 89- 83 escape over West Texas State. Before a poor G. Rollie White Coliseum turnout of 2,500, the Aggie captain pulled the Aggies back from a six-minute field goal drought and carried the load for the sluggish Maroon and White. THE AGGIES HAD led at half time, 47-33 and seemed to be pull ing away at intermission. West Texas’ ace 6-7 Simmie Hill, who has been bothered by bad tonsils, missed 11 shots in the first half. But, with the start of the second twenty minutes things changed drastically and Hill led the change. The JC transfer from Oklahoma poured in 24 of his nights total of 39 in the second half to lead a comeback try by the Buffaloes. Unfortunately for Buff Coach Dennis Walling’s charges Hill was all they had. It looked how ever, like perhaps Hill could sin- gle-handly bring back West Tex as until Trippet squelched that possibility. Aggie soph Mike Hazel hit a layup at the 12:19 mark of the second half and the next time the Aggies made a field goal there was 6:30 left in the game. Five foul shots is all the Aggies man aged in that six-minute span but West Texas only managed 11 points to blow their chances of catching up. Hill was on the bench most of this time saddled with four fouls. TRIPPET HAD just come back in the lineup before he made the drought-breaking shot. Then Trip pet, with some help from Harry Bostic kept the Aggies in the lead. It was the third straight win for Coach Shelby Metcalf’s char ges but he was not happy with his team’s performance. The win was another get even victory for the Maroon and White as West Texas stopped the Aggies last season at Canyon. Metcalf said that his team had been real high for the Trinity game and perhaps had a letdown for this game. If the Aggies had n’t fallen on the scoring miseries they most likely would have top ped the century mark for the second game in a row.

City State It really did look like they were on the way to that 100-point per formance in the first half as they put in 19 of 33 for a 57.6 field goal norm. They topped 50 per cent in the second half also as whenever West Texas got close the Maroon and White would pull away with a timely basket. This was the theme of the game in the second half, West Texas got close but that was all. The Aggies could keep the lead but weren’t able to pull away as cost ly turnovers hurt them the most. IT WAS A balanced scoring at tack for the Aggies as five play ers hit double figures. Ronnie Peret led the Aggies with 19 points followed by Bostic and Trippet with 17 and 16 respec tively. Mike Heitmann and Billy Bob Barnett chipped in 11 each to round out the double figure men. The unbeaten Aggies (only Southwest Conference team with that distinction) will complete their week of home games Satur day night when Southwest Texas State will provide the opposition. The game will be the last time the Aggies will play at home this year as their next G. Rollie White game will be Jan. 6 against Texas Christian. Next week, the Aggies will be gin a tough road trip beginning with North Texas State on Wed nesday night at Denton and then a trip to Lawrence, Kans. to par ticipate in the Sunflower Classic. Other teams in that tournament are Kansas, Kansas State and Cincinnati. Bill Hobbs Named AP All-American By JOHN PLATZER Bill Hobbs, the Aggie 6-1, 205- pound linebacker, was named to the 1967 Associated Press’ All- America Football team Thursday while 9 of his teammates received honorable mention honors. The only other Southwest Con ference player to make the first team was Baylor’s defensive tac kle Greg Pipes. Throughout the Aggies champ ionship season Hobbs provided ig play after big play. He led the conference with seven intercep tions which he returned for 162 yards and two touchdowns. A Hobbs interception against Texas Christian was one of the Aggies key plays of the year. With A&M leading the Chris tians 7-0, TCU was driving to ward the Aggie goal when Hobbs sprinted in front of a Danny Carter pass in the endzone and returned it 100 yards for a touch down from where A&M went on to a 20-0 win. He had one of his better games in the must win over Texas as he picked off two of Bill Bradley’s aerials. His first intercepton in the game set up Charlie Riggs’ field goal which spelled the margin of success. To compliment his ballhawking ability, the Amarillo junior also seemed to be making tackles all over the field in each of the games. For the season he aver aged right at 20 tackles a game. A split end in high school, Hobbs has great speed for a linebacker and tremendous desire. The AP honor provided the high point for Hobbs who has been flooded with awards since the end of the regular season. He has been named to every conceivable all-conference team, including those of the Dallas News, Dallas Times-Herald, Fort Worth Star- Telegram, AP and UPI. He was also named the conference’s top defensive star by both the Hous ton Post and Dallas News. Members of the Southwest Con ference ChampSbns who made AP’s honorable mention on of fense were end Bob Long, half back Larry Stegent, quarterback Edd Hargett and kicker Steve O’Neal. Named to the honorable mention defense were end Grady Allen, tackles Rolf Krueger and Harvey TRADITIONAL TCeepiSctlce WEDDING RINGS ROSA LADY’S 39.75 MAN’S 35.00.

ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizen ship. It is a storehouse of spirit ual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend ser vices 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 ma terial support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. We met a chemist some years ago who was plan ning to experiment with religion. “Some Sunday,” he said, “I’m going to go to Church and see if it makes any difference in my life.” “Doctor,” we asked, “How does a chemist begin his experiments in a new field?” “With research,” came the reply. “He studies the findings of other men in that field—determines what has been proven—what is unknown.” “That’s a good way to begin your experiment with religion” we suggested. “It would hardly be ‘scientific’ to judge Christianity, or your need for it, on the basis of one visit to Church. But a few months of faithful attendance, and many thoughtful evenings with the Bible will give you a clear understanding of what others have found in Christianity. You’ll discover spiritual truths which centuries of experience have proven, and gain a faith that can bridge the Un known.” At last report, our chemist was making fine prog ress in his experiment. In fact, he no longer thinks of his religion as experimental! Copyright 1967 Keister Advertising Service, Inc., Strasburg, Va.
