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.

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.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
... ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor
on earth for the building of charac
ter and good citizenship. 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.

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.
