Page 4 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Friday, December 15, 1967 Aggies In Kansas For Weekend Set By GARY SHERER The 4-1 Texas Aggie basket ball team invades Lawrence, Kan. tonight for the first game of the annual Sunflower Classic. The decade-old tournament is a round-robin affair that spot lights Kansas and Kansas State against two opponents. Joining the Aggies as invitees will be Cincinnati from the strong Mis souri Valley Conference. Tonight, the Aggies meet Kan sas at Lawrence while Kansas State entertains Cincinnati at Manhattan, Kans. Saturday night the visiting teams will switch (Aggies at Kansas State and Cincy at Kansas). Coach Shelby Metcalf hoped his team could have gone into this two-day spectacular with an unbeaten record. North Texas State squelched that hope Wed nesday night with a 71-65 win over the Aggies. Metcalf is glad to have the opportunity to play in this tour nament. It will make the first real tough competition the Ag gies have faced this season. Kansas, who were pre-season picks for national-ranking have lost their last two games. The losses however, have come against some tough teams. After topping Utah State to begin the season, the Jayhawks have been topped by Louisville and Loyola of Chicago. Coach Ted Owens’ crew stresses one thing — speed. In 6-3 Jo Jo White, Kansas has a good start on that commodity. White, a all-Big Eight performer last year, was a stellar performer for the United States in last sum mer’s Pan American games. Another reason Kansas is ex pected to repeat their fine finish of last season (23-4) is 6-6 Roger Bohnenstiehl. The big forward topped the Jayhawks in scoring last year with a 16.4 average. Kansas has gone to the NCAA finals the last two years and hopes to break the tradition of a Big Eight team never winning the conference three years in a row. The Aggies will need to retain that 50 per cent shooting they displayed in their first three games, if they wisH to stay with Kansas. The Maroon and White have fallen on hard times in their shooting accuracy, as the last two games have seen them drop under the 50.0 mark. It was inability to score that almost cost the Aggies the South west Texas game and did cost them the North Texas game. In fact, the Aggies finished at 37 per cent from the floor in the loss to North Texas. Ronnie Peret and Mike Heit- mann continue to be the top guns for the Aggies. Peret, 6-9 junior from Plainview tops the team in scoring with a 21 point average. Heitmann is not averaging as much as Peret but the two are just about even in the rebound ing department. Tomorrow night’s game with Kansas State should also be a stern test for Metcalf’s charges. The Wildcats are currently 2-2 with a recent victory over highly- ranked Indiana included. Cooksey Scoring, Leads Fish Team By JOHN PLATZER Outside shooting has been the key to the Aggie Fish basket- bailers season thus far in post ing a 1-1 record. The Fish shot at a 51.7 mark from the floor against Henderson County Junior College in their first game in a 77-70 winning- effort. They dropped to a 39.7 mark against a strong Lon Mor ris Junior College team, how ever, and came away on the short end of a 92-81 score. ALL-STAR SMILES Flanker Willie Richardson, quarterback Johnny Unitas, and end John Mackey, left to right, of the Baltimore Colts, were happy to hear they had been voted to the Associated Press National Football League All-Stars for 1967. Colts play Los Angeles Rams in game which will determine which team will meet Green Bay Packers in division playoff. (AP Wire- photo) Fullback To Tackle Switch Not Tough For Schneider Pittsburgh-area football fans will have hometown interest in the Jan. 1 Cotton Bowl game featuring Texas A&M and Ala bama. Starting tackle Dan Schneider of the Southwest Conference champion Aggies graduated from Trafford High School. No. 72’s headgear-battering play and blocking knowhow were big factors in A&M winning its last six games, the title and Cotton Bowl host spot. Schneider, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Schneider, 514 Gilmore, Trafford, was one of numerous Aggies who came through in the clutch. A shortage of offensive linemen last season prompted Coach Gene Stallings to call on the 5-11, 205 pounder to fill a trench spot. Dan, a fullback for Don Kran- ivich-coached Trafford teams and for A&M last fall, answered in championship style. “Schneider is one of the hard est working players on the squad,” declares Stallings. “He’s a good downfield blocker and has better than average speed for a tackle.” The all-conference, all-county and all-WPIAI Trafford back credits his high school coaches along with the Aggie staff. “Our high school backfield coach, Pat Cortaza, stressed blocking and fundamentals,” Dan says. It paid off in big plays and second effort by Schneider for the Aggies. “Line blocking is a little easier than backfield blocking,” he went on. “I was mostly a blocking back. Linemen don’t get hit as hard, so after my initial block, I found I could get back into the play for a chance at another block.” One of five A&M seniors and game captain several times, Schneider lets little deter him from playing. While pass blocking against LSU, the physical education ma jor who plans to coach received an 11-stitch cut across the fore head. He left long enough for it to be sewn up and returned to the game. Schneidex-’s aggressiveness, toughness and speed, which en abled him to stop a punt return deep in enemy territox-y in the Rice game, will be trump cards against quick-moving Alabama in the Cotton Bowl. 1967 - 68 TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY DIRECTORY of Offices — Staff — Students Price $1.00 Now On SALE At The Student Publications Office YMCA Bldg.

It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and sup port the Church. They are: (l)For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his com munity and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material sup port. Plan to go to church reg ularly and read your Bible daily. a rHsrj. There she was—blue eyes, rosy cheeks, thirty-five pounds of joy bundled up in a warm, wooly snowsuit. How could I resist her request—even if the ironing weren’t done, and there’d be no pie for dinner. I pulled on my parka and went outside to join her. We walked through the frosty winter world together and I seemed to see it anew through the eyes of a three- year old. Our commonplace street was miraculously frosted and furbished in silvery whiteness. From every corner beauty sparkled and shone. And then we came to our church. It looked like a beau tiful Christmas card, with the snow glistening blindingly from icy windows. Susie exclaimed, “Oh, Mommy, look— God is shining through!” “Through the eyes of a little child'’ . . . this thought rang through my head, and I prayed that God’s presence would always shine for her thi-ough the windows of God’s Church.
