The Texas Aggie basketball
team gets back into Southwest
Conference play Saturday night
with its first 1967-68 meeting
with the Baylor Bears.
Centenary College of Shreve

seventh loss of the year Monday
night at Shreveport. The 99-93
defeat completed the Aggies’ non
conference slate, as the Maroon
and White finished at 6-4 in non-
SWC games.
Saturday night’s opponents pre
sent a problem for the 8-7 Ag
gies. The Bears of Waco currently
top the SWC standings with a
4-1 record. The Aggies at 2-3 must
win this game in order to stay
alive in title consideration.
Since 1915, there has only been
four times that a SWC champ
has taken the basketball crown
with over three losses. The most
recent of these came in 1965 when
Southern Methodist started its
two-year string of championships.
Baylor is led by sophomore
David Sibley from Houston with
a 15.2 average. Possibly the big
gest threat in the Bear attack is
6-4 forward Tommy Bowman, who
jumps like he was 6-8 and more.
Aggie Coach Shelby Metcalf
feels that the sophomore-of-the-
year will be either Bowman or
Arkansas’ Robert McKenzie.
Baylor Coach Bill Menefee has
upset the SWC prediction apple
cart by guiding his Bears to their
present 10-3 status. All the con
ference scribes picked Baylor to
finish last in the conference be
fore the season started back in
December.

Four years out of college . . . assistant to, a department head
. . . the junior executive considered most likely to succeed.
Fifteen years from now—or twenty—do you think he’ll be
president of the company?
We haven’t the slightest idea. All we know is that, right now,
he’s on the way up.
Many things determine a man’s potential for positions of re
sponsibility and trust; one of them is character.
Character isn’t easy to define—it is much easier to recognize.
This man goes to church every Sunday . . . not because he is
seeking character . . . but because he is seeking God.
And the people who know him best figure that is one of the
clearest marks of his character.

It seemed like a safe pick as
Baylor lost their one-two punch
of last season, Darrell Hardy and
Jimmy Turner. Hardy graduated
and Turner had scholastic prob
lems.
So Menefee has fashioned this
success with a lack of experienced
hands. The seasoned performers
on this year’s team are Russell
Kibbe, Bob Porter and Steve Bar
tels. The results of this combina
tion of brand new and semi-old
has surprised the SWC.
Tuesday night, Baylor topped
Rice at Waco and with Texas
Christian’s loss to Arkansas,
broke a three-way tie for the
lead between the Owls, Frogs
and Bears. Now, Baylor sits atop
the heap as they prepare for their
trip to College Station.
The Aggies, as mentioned, need
this game. Like their football
counterparts, their backs are
against the wall as the race for
the SWC laurel# gets tighter.
The football team won all of their
remaining conference games and
it looks like Metcalf’s charges
will have to do the same.
“Its like playing poker without
any money,” Metcalf says when
discussing the Aggies’ title hopes.
Monday night, the Aggies ran
into a hot-shooting Centenary
crew and went down to a 99-93
defeat. It was the third win of
the year for Centenary who had
had a less then successful 2-13
record before the win over the
Aggies.
The Gentleman shot at a 53
percent pace while the Aggies
hit at a 48.0 norm. Before this
game, Centenary had averaged
just over 40 percent for their 15
previous games.
RONNIE PERET
Tops Aggie scoring stats.
Billy Bob Barnett and Ronnie
Peret led the Aggies’ attack with
61 points between them. Barnett’s
32 points was his varsity career
high.
It was one of those nights,
when Centenary couldn’t miss and
the Aggies couldn’t make enough.
★ ★ ★
Coach Metcalf hopes that Sat
urday night will produce a packed
G. Rollie White Coliseum for the
Baylor-A&M match.
Captain Terry Trip pet ex
pressed the views of the team
and himself this way, “if the stu
dent body packs the stands, I’ll
guarantee them a victory.” Trip-
pet is the right one to speak of
victory over Baylor as it was his
last second shot that beat the
Bears at College Station last sea
son.
