By JOHN PLATZER
Coach Jim Culpepper's Fish
basketballers have absorbed only
one real thrashing this season and
they will have an opportunity to
turn this around Saturday when
they invade Waco to battle the
Baylor Cubs.
The young Aggies had 4-1 sea
son and 2-0 conference records
when they hosted Baylor in the
first game following the semester
break and were beaten 81-67.
They lost their following game to
Rice before righting themselves
and winning their last two, with
the last one over Rice.
THE RICE win gives the Fish
a 6-3 record for the season with
[ a 4-2 conference mark.
Baylor’s freshmen were beaten
Tuesday night by the Texas Year
lings, a team the Fish whipped
twice, 73-66 in Austin.
Tom Friedman, a 6-4 forward
from Paris, and Bob Griffiths, a
6-1 guard from New Jersey, are
the key to Baylor’s offense. They
had 21 and 20 points respectively
in their first game with A&M

and contributed 18 and 10 points
in the Texas loss.
THE BIG three of the Fish con
tinue to be Bill Cooksey, Chuck
Smith and Steve Niles with key
contributions coming from the
likes of Roddy McAlpine, Danny
Berry and Tommy Bain.
Cooksey, a 6-2 guard from
Houston Sam Houston, is the
team’s main outside threat with
a 20.6 scoring norm. He has con
nected on 80 of 175 shots for 45.7
per cent, a remarkable mark for
an outside shooter.
On the other hand Smith uses
fine moves to get most of his 19.9
points a game under the basket.
This is reflected in his fantastic
64 per cent accuracy from the
floor on 62 of 97. He is also the
squad’s second leading rebounder
with a 10.7 norm.
NILES, the biggest Aggie bas-
ketballer at 6-11, is the team’s
number one rebounder and third
top scorer. He is averaging 13.3
points and 13.1 rebounds a com
test.
McAlpine, who played with
Niles and Fish basketballer Andy
Harris on San Antonio Lee’s
AAA A state schoolboy champions
last season, is scoring at a 9.8
clip. Berry had his finest game of
the year Tuesday as he bombed
Rice from outside in a 17 point
performance which raised his av
erage 7.1.
As a team the Fish are scoring
at an 80.1 clip while holding op
ponents to 74.9. They have hit
at a 46.7 per cent from the field
and 68 per cent from the foul line
while keeping opponents to a 41
mark from the floor and 67.2
from the line.
REBOUNDING has been one
of the reason’s for the Fish rec
ord as they average 50 a contest
while 43.1 goes to other team.
The Fish play their final home
game Tuesday against Tyler Ju
nior College and close out the sea
son in Fort Worth February 24
against Texas Christian Univer
sity.

Spring Sports
Balanced Ag Swim Team
To Host Raiders Feb. 23
By MIKE WRIGHT
A balanced group of swimmers
comprise this year’s water squad.
“We have a good bunch of boys
who are about equal in their
speed,” commented swimming
coach Art Adamson.
The varsity team has competed
twice and holds a 1-1 record.
They were beaten by the Univer
sity of Texas at Arlington and
they were victorious over the
Rice Owls.
“A SWIMMING meet is com
prised of thirteen events — nine
individual events, two d i v in g
events, and two relays. Points
are awarded on first, sceond, and
third places, in the individual and
diving events, and for first place
in relays,” explained Adamson.
The Aggies next meet is at
home against the Texas Tech
swimmers February 23, at 7:30
p.m. February 24, East New Mex
ico University comes to Downs
Natatorium for a 2:30 p.m. meet.
COMPETING for the Aggies in
the free-style are Thomas Hold
en, Henry Paup, John Beall, and
John Greenhut.
“Tom Sparks, Bill Dunn, and
Michael O’Brien make up the trio
for the backstroke. Jerry Deutsch,
Larry Linn, and Bob Mathews
will enter the breaststroke in our
meets,” said Adamson.
The divers will be Eddie Grant,
Ronnie Suttle, Larry Jones, and
Paul Hudson. Steve Ash is
slated to duel in the distance free
style.
“THE MEET will be held at
Arkansas this year. Overall the
conference is stronger, with
Southern Methodist University
still being the team to beat. How
ever, now that the freshmen are
able to compete, it could change
some things. Arkansas had some
tremendous freshman swimmers
and if they come through, it could
be rough for SMU,” Adamson
pointed out.
Matson Preparing
For Mexico City
“For those who slept late New
Year’s Day, that’s the Texas Ag
gies’ score over Alabama in the
Cotton Bowl,” noted Joe Buser,
club president who said the buf
fet dinner meeting will begin at
7 p.m.
The social hour starts at 6 p.m.
Jack Hurlbut, assistant coach
on Gene Stallings’ A&M football
staff, will show the Cotton Bowl
color film and discuss this year's
recruiting.
Club secretary Bob Roepke said
a $50 check will be given to the
person turning in the most new
memberships by 7 p.im. Wednes
day. The Brazos Aggies have set
a goal of 300 members for 1968.
“Even if you don’t need $50,
bring in a few members for good
bull,” Roepke suggested.
Membership dues of $5 per per
son support the club’s scholarship
program.

The 10th Winter Olympics are
almost over and next the eyes of
the world will focus on Mexico
City, where the 1968 Summer
Olympics will take place.
For the next seven months,
many American hopefuls will
train and compete for spots on
the United States team.
This area will have definite in
terest in these games, not only
for proximity, but also for a
6-6, 260-pound shotputter named
James Randel Matson.
The recent winner of 1967’s
Sullivan Award, symbol of the
nation’s top amateur, placed first
(65-8) in the Fort Worth Indoor
Meet on Feb. 3. He passed up
last weekend’s Los Angeles In
door Meet because of a bout with
the flu bug.
He will make a trip to Los An
geles next week to officially ac
cept the Sullivan Award.
The Pampa weightman will not
compete in any competition for
the next two months.
“I plan to woik with the
weights for awhile,” Matson said.
He noted he won’t do any work
with the shotput but concentrate
primarily on his weight program.
Probably the next top competi
tion for Matson will be the AAU
championships in June. After
those come the Olympic Trials.
These meets plus the weight pro
gram will properly prepare Mat-
son for the October games.
The coveted gold medal escaped
Matson in 1964 in Tokyo. This
distinction is just about the only
award the senior marketing ma
jor hasn’t won yet. Matson hopes
that 1968 will see that accom
plishment achieved.
