THE BATTALION
Aggies-Longhorns Square-Off Here Saturday Night
By GARY SHERER
The Texas Longhorn five in
vades G. Rollie White Coliseum
tomorrow night at 8, and they
will be looking for revenge'.
The revenge they seek will be
for the 88-87 loss they experi
enced at the hands of the Aggies
last Jan. 16 at Austin.
COACH SHELBY Metcalf said
his Aggies played their best ball
of the season in the second half of
that game. Tuesday night, the Ag
gies displayed the first sign of
that type of play since that Texas
victory.
In the 75-66 win over Rice, the
Maroon and White gave an ag
gressive performance in winning
their third conference game. More
of that aggressive play will be
needed from the Aggies, if they
are to come up with a victory
Saturday night.
The Longhorns are coming off
a loss to Baylor Tuesday night.
The Bears handled Texas fairly
easily and the Longhorns will
need a victory over the Aggies
to insure them (Texas) any hope
in the Southwest Conference race.
TEXAS CONFERENCE record
is 4-3, while the Aggies are now
3-4.
The Austin five will bring a
7-10 record into College Station.
They have been under the .500
mark ever since the Aggies
knocked them off. The Aggies
have stayed above the losing mark
all year, and they are now 9-8 as
a result of the Rice victory.
Billy Arnold', 6-1 guard from
Fort Worth is the Longhorns’ top
scorer. The senior backcourter al
so holds that distinction for the
whole conference. In the first
game this season, Arnold hit for
32. Baylor found how to stop
Arnold Tuesday night, as he was
held to eight points.
IN THAT game, the scoring
load was picked up by 6-6 Gary
Overbeck. The senior post-man
hit for 14 points as he led the
Longhorn score sheet. Overbeck
was suffering from a bad ankle
in the first Aggie-Longhorn clash
and was ineffective. The big
Hobbs, N. M. product has now re
covered from that injury and will
be ready for full time duty this
time.
Larry Smith, 5-10 guard from
Dallas and Kurt Papp, 6-5 junior
from Fort Worth have added
most of the other scoring this
season.
SONNY BENEFIELD
Every SWC team this season
has an outstanding sophomore.
Texas is not lacking in that de
partment as Wayne Doyal from
San Antonio has started most of
the games for the Longhorns.
ARNOLD, OVERBECK, Smith,
Papp and Doyal should get the
starting call from first year head
Coach Leon Black. Black, stepped
into the job vacated by veteran
mentor Harold Bradley, after the
PEANUTS
BILLY BOB BARNETT
Bradley had called it a day after
seven years at Austin.
Metcalf will counter with Ron
nie Peret, Sonny Benefield, John
Underwood, Billy Bob Barnett and
Mike Heitmann.
This is the same lineup that
started the Rice game so Metcalf
wants to J stick with the winning
combination.

for this game,” Metcalf says, “we

know Texas will be ready, we just
hope we will be too.” The Aggie
mentor was pleased with the Rice
victory but there was one part
of that game he wasn’t happy
about.
THE AGGIES had 20 turnovers
in the game. This was not to much
of a factor as the game turned
out, because Rice suffered a poor
shooting night. However, turn
overs are costly, regardless of
how the other team is shooting.
Therefore, Metcalf will be looking
for less of the loose play, espec
ially for an A&M-Texas game.
Peret continues to be the Ag
gies’ top scorer and rebounder
JOHN UNDERWOOD
followed by Barnett and Under
wood in scoring and Barnett and
Heitmann in the rebounding de
partment.
Peret, 6-9 junior from Plain-
view, is currently fifth in SWC
scoring. The big center is hitting
at the best pace of any ‘big’ man
in the conference. His perfor
mance this season has been an
equally big improvement over last
season.
HE HOLDS an 18.4 scoring-
mark for SWC play and a 17.8
overall reading. Barnett has come
back from a mid-season slump
and is hitting double figures more
consistently. Underwood, though
inconsistent in his scoring, has
MIKE HEITMANN
found the hoop enough to givt
the senior from Honey Grove i
13.9 conference avearge.
It looks like a possible sellout
for the game, as all reserved seit
tickets are gone. There also is
the fact that the Former Student
Association is holding a meetjl
this weekend on campus, so that
should insure a good crowd. Tht
capacity of G. Rollie White Coli
seum is 8,500. An SR0 crowd
would really mean a lot to the
Aggie players.
Next week, Rice will return the
trip the Aggies made three nights
aigo, and provide the next com.
petition for the Aggies Tuesday
night.
Saturday Prelim Matches
Aggie Fish And Yearlings
By JOHN PLATZER
Texas’ Yearlings visit G. Rollie
White Saturday night and the
Aggie Fish hope to break a two
game losing streak at their ex
pense in a preliminary to the var
sity game.
The Fish reeled off four victor
ies in their first five games but
have dropped 81-67 and 63-58 de
cisions to Baylor and Rice their
last time out.
WITH ONLY four conference
games left on their schedule every
one is now a must for the Fish
who are 2-2 in conference play.
Coach Jim Culpepper’s cagers de
feated the Yearlings, who are 5-3
for the season and 2-2 in con
ference, 86-79 in San Antonio
January 15.
The Texas freshmen, who are
coached by Jim O’Bannon, Bennie
Lenox and Charlie Shannon, are
paced by San Antonio’s Billy
Black and Del Rio’s Gene Salmon.
Black carries a 20 point per game
average while Salmon is second
in team scoring with a 17 point
average and leads in rebounds
with a 16.5 average.
SALMON AND Sam Bradley,
starting guards for the Yearlings,
do not attend Texas on basketball
scholarships. Bradley is there on
a track scholarship while Salmon
signed for football.
The big two in the Aggie of
fensive machine has suddenly be
come the big three with 6-11
Steve Niles becoming more and
more a dominant figure.
Bill Cooksey continues to pace
the Fish scoring for the season
with a 19.6 average while Chuck
Smith is at 19.1, Niles is at 14.3
and Roddy McAlpine is averaging
10. In conference play Smith
leads with a 17.3 avearge followed
by Cooksey at 15.5 and Niles at
15.
LEADING THE squad in re
bounds is Niles with a 13 avearge
for the year and a 12.8 average
in conference play. Smith is se$
ond with a 11.3 mark for the sea.
son and 9.8 in conference. A poo;
first half was the main obstaclt
in the Fish’s loss to the Rice Owl
ets. Rice jumped out front 24-1!
in the game’s first nine minute
and enjoyed a 37-28 advantage
at the halftime break.
THE SECOND half was mucl
better for the Aggies as they out-
scored Rice 30-26 but it wasn't
enough. At one point in the sec
ond half the Fish gained the lead
and built up a five point spread
but the Owlets came back to reg
ister the win.
Smith led the Aggie’s in scor
ing with 15 while Danny Berry
had 12 and Cooksey contributed
11. Rice, who is now 3-4 for tie
season, provides the Fish com
petition again Tuesday night in
G. Rollie White.
