Ags Meet Rice
By GARY SHERER
Coach Shelby Metcalf and his
Aggie basketballers invade Rice’s
Autry Gym tonight in the role of
spoilers.
The Maroon and White took on
this new face as a result of their
77-67 loss to Baylor Saturday
night at G. Rollie White Coli
seum.
THE LOSS makes the Aggies
2-4 in the Southwest Conference
race while Baylor upped its
league mark to 5-1. With four
losses, the Aggies would have to
win all of their remaining games,
and in the crazy SWC, winning
streaks are not very abundant.
Coach Don Knodel’s Owls also
lost Saturday. Rice dropped a 68-
64 afternoon TV decision to Tex
as at Austin’s Gregory Gym. The
Owls now have a 3-3 conference
reading while the Longhorns are
tied with Arkansas for second
place at 4-2.
Rice is now in the same posi
tion that the Aggies were before
Saturday night’s games. They
cannot afford to lose.
THUS FAR this season, Baylor
has been the only team to show
any consistency. The Bears’ only
loss has been to Texas Christian.
Only last week, TCU had been
considered the team to beat. The
schedule-makers put an end to
that, as the Frogs ran into the
two toughest road trips in the
conference. The result — two
straight losses at the hands of
Arkansas and Texas Tech.
Rice’s attack is led by Larry
Miller and Greg Williams. Miller,
BARNETT FOR TWO
Billy Bob Barnett (24) scores on a layup in this first-half
action of Saturday night’s 77-67 loss to Baylor. Defending
for Baylor is Randy Thompson (11) and Ed Thorpe (be
hind Barnett). Mike Hazel (30) sets for a possible rebound.
Fish Ripped 81-67
By Baylor Cubs
By JOHN PLATZER
A poor shooting first half
proved disastrous for the Aggie
Fish Saturday as they dropped
an 81-67 decision to the Baylor
Cubs.
The loss was the Fish’s second
against four wins for the season
while Baylor is now 4-3. It was
the first SWC loss for the Fish.
BAYLOR jumped off to a 4-0
lead in the contest and was never
threatened. They had their big
gest lead of the half at 36-18 with
five minutes remaining.
The half ended with the Cubs
on top 43-28.
Outside shooting, which had
been one of the Fish top weapons
in the season, all but deserted
them in the half as they hit on
only 11 of 28 from the field for
39.3 per cent while the Cubs hit
at a 53.3 mark on 16 of 30.
The first portion of the second
half produced more of the same
as the Cubs pulled away to a 62-
38 margin with 12:20 remaining.
THE FISH then began to re
verse the trend and started chip
ping away at the lead but it was
too late as Baylor protected their
win.
A&M hit on 22 of 49 from the
floor for the game for a 44.9
mark while Baylor hit on 30 of
58 for 51.7.
Steve Niles led the Fish in scor
ing with 18 points and in re
bounding with 9 while Chuck
Smith added 16 points and Bill
Cooksey had 15. Tom Friedman
and Bob Griffiths led the Cub’s
attack with 21 and 20 points re
spectively.

FOUR OF the Fish players con
tinue to keep their averages in
double figures for the season
scoring. Cooksey leads with a 21
point average while Smith is at
19.9, Niles is at 15.4 and Roddy
McAlpine is averaging 10.8.
Cooksey has hit on 56 of 124
from the field for a 45.1 mark
which is exceptionally good con
sidering the length of the shot it
is his job to take.
Smith, who forms a strong duo
under the boards with Niles, has
made good on 40 of 63 attempts
for 63.5 per cent while Niles has
hit on 35 of 75 for a 46.2 mark.
THE TEAM’S rebounding has
been one of its main strengths
and Niles and Smith are two of
the reasons. Niles has grabbed
83 rebounds for a 13.8 average
while Smith has 68 for an 11.3
mark.
The Fish play the Rice Owlets
in Houston tonight before return
ing home this Saturday to take
on the Texas Shorthorns in a pre
liminary to the varsity game.

Returned to form Saturday night.
Texas Outfielder Hurt In Practice
6-3 forward from San Antonio
leads the Owl SWC scoring with
an 18.8 mark. Williams, a pint-
sized guard from Portland, Ind.
is runner-up with an even 16 per
game.
KNODEL LOST his first-string
center when Jim Hubenak, a 6-7
junior from Wharton was a vic
tim of the scholastic woes. Soph-
..omore Steve Wendel has stepped
into Hubenak’s spot. Houston
product Bob Rule, a 6-4 guard
continues to be the number one
reserve for the Owls.
The Aggies will have their

Rice’s top reserve this
season.
hands full for this 8 p.m. game,
as the Owls feature a varied at
tack. The task of guarding Mil
ler will go to sophomore Mike
Heitmann who returned to his
early season form in the Baylor
loss. Heitmann came off the
bench and paced the Aggie at
tack with 18 points.
The Houston Sam Houston
grad had run into mid-season
sluggishness and Metcalf hopes
the 6-4 forward has regained his
confidence. Joining Heitmann in
the starting lineup will be Ronnie
Peret, Billy Bob Barnett, John
Underwood and Sonny Benefield.
SATURDAY night’s loss was
in keeping with the Aggies’ re
cent misfortunes. Baylor was
consistent and A&M wasn’t. The
final statistics prove this state
ment true. The Bears were 24 for
44 from the field for 54.5 while
the Aggies managed 19 of 52 for
36.5.
The Aggies definitely need con
sistency in their attack. The loss
to Baylor proved this but there
is a lot of talent on this Aggie
aggregation and they can still
make some noise in the SWC race.
One improvement was notice
able by the noise it made Satur
day night. The biggest crowd of
the season entered G. Rollie
White as 7,300 observed the game.
AUSTIN, Tex. (^P)—Pat Brown,
all-conference outfielder with the
University of Texas, was beaned
in practice Monday and will be
out of action for three weeks.
The accident occurred in an
intra-squad game as Texas
started its second week of prac
tice. Brown’s left cheek bone
was fractured and he will have
to undergo surgery.

DALLAS — Victorious Texas
A&M and the University of Ala
bama will receive record Cotton
Bowl Classic payments in excess
of $243,000.00 for their 1968 par
ticipation, the Cotton Bowl Ath
letic Association revealed recent
ly.
“An increase in our television
receipts combined with a seventh
straight sellout enabled us to bet
ter the previous record,” said
James H. Stewart, president ol
the Association. The 1966 pay
ments to Arkansas and LSU wen
$230,107.26.
Mr. Stewart also announced
that the Cotton Bowl Athletic As
sociation has completed negotis-
tions for a new three-game con-
tract with the Columbia Broad
casting System at a substantial
increase in rights receipts. Based
on the increase in television rev-
enue, the Cotton Bowl Classic ex
pects to pay in excess of $30(1,.
000.00 to each of the 1969 partici
pants.
“Our last 10 Cotton Boil
games have contributed in excess
of $4,000,000.00 to the participat-
ing teams and to the Southwest
Conference,” Mr. Stewart added
“Three teams emerged from their
performances here as recognized
national champions during that
span."
CBS has had the televjfl
rights for the Cotton Bowl Classic
continuously since its telecast ol
the January 1, 1958 game be
tween Navy and Rice.

Sign up for an interview at your placement office-even if
you’re headed for graduate school or military service.
Maybe you think you need a technical background to work
for us.
Not true.
Sure we need engineers and scientists. But we also need
liberal arts and business majors. We’d like to talk with you even
if you’re in something as far afield as Music. Not that we’d
hire you to analyze Bach fugues. But we might hire you to
analyze problems as a computer programmer.
What you can do at IBM
The point is, our business isn’t just selling computers.
It’s solving problems. So if you have a logical mind, we need
you to help our customers solve problems in such diverse areas
as government, business, law, education, medicine, science,
the humanities.
Whatever your major, you can do a lot of good things at
IBM. Change the world (maybe). Continue your education
(certainly, through plans such as our Tuition Refund Program).
And have a wide choice of places to work (we have over 300
locations throughout the United States).
What to do next
We’ll be on campus to interview for careers in Marketing,
Computer Applications, Programming, Research, Design and
Development, Manufacturing, Field Engineering, and Finance
and Administration. If you can’t make a campus interview, send
an outline of your interests and educational background to
Mr. C. F. Cammack, IBM Corporation, 1447
