Wichita, Kansas is the first stop of the Aggies’ schedule where they will play always tough Wichita State Monday and then its on to Oklahoma City and the All-College Tournament Dec. 26-30. Among the teams in the All-College this season are St. Bona venture, University of the Pacific, Oklahoma City, Tulane, LSU, Wyoming and the Aggies’ first round opponent, Duquesne. The Aggies, who got Thurs day and Friday off since they’ll be on the road ^.t Christmas, leave by charter plane Sunday afternoon for their 8 p.m. date with the Shockers ]Monday. COACH METCALF says that the level of competition that the Aggies will face on the trip should help in determining the team’s prospects fpr the year. "I think we are real close to putting it together and we have high hopes of putting it together on this road trip,” Coach Metcalf said. “We played 36 minutes of good Three Aggies Selected By Pro Scouts Even if the Texas Aggies did not repeat their Southwest Con ference heroics of a year ago, according to the pro football scouts, a lot of prime football material was there. The Sporting News, typically the sportman’s bible, and Time Magazine, both of which elect their All-American teams on the say-so of the pro scouts, evaluated the players from around the coun try and picked an All-Star squad composed of the men they feel have the best chance to make it in professional football. Oddly enough, the 3-7 Aggies placed three players on the 24- man Sporting News roster and captured two spots on the 22- man Time squad. Rolf Krueger, the Aggies’ vet eran defensive frenchman, a 6'4", 240 pound brute, made both teams and as Sporting News says “is a bruiser on the gridiron, with tremendous strength to go along with football quickness and sav vy”. He was described by Time as “rugged, durable, covers the outside very well, and has lots of desire.” Safety Tommy Maxwell, a 6'2", 192 pound speedster, also made both teams and was described by Sporting News as “a well-coordi nated athlete who excels in al most all sports, with tremendous hands and quick reactions.” Time said that Maxwell, in the terse, tight lingo of the scouting re port is: “Fast, with good hands. Covers a lot of ground. Likes to play it tight. Tough.” The other Aggie picked b y Sporting News was punter Steve O’Neal, a 6'3", 185 pounder from Hearne, who was characterized by the scouts as having “tremen dous leg thrust, able to hang his kicks in the air so that his team mates can get downfield to cover on punt returns.” In 1967 he fin ished as the leading punter in the Southwest Conference, was sec ond this year and finished among the nation’s leaders both seasons.

Our streaks of good basketball are getting longer with each game, how ever.” THE AGGIES will enter the Wichita State game with a rec ord of 3-2 after wins over South ern Mississippi, Centenary and Louisiana Tech and losses to Lamar Tech and Stephen F. Aus tin. Wichita State has a strong re bounding team that is paced by 6-6 Ron Washington and 6-7 soph omore Kevin O’Riordan. In their last outing, the Shockers lost by 10 points to the University of St. Louis but among their vic tories is a 93-88 triumph over Iowa, the nation’s 19th ranked team. In their win over Iowa, the Shockers pulled down 25 offen sive rebounds. THE OKLAHOMA CITY tour nament is the oldest one in the United States and Coach Metcalf claims that there is a “lot of prestige attached to being in it.” Duquesne, A&M’s opening foe in the tournament Thursday night at 7, has four starters back from last season’s 18-7 team that com peted in the NIT. Added to the four returning starters are three top players up from last year’s Duquesne freshman team which was rated among the top five in the nation. Jerrit Durham came within one point of breaking his school’s freshman scoring record while connecting on 87% of his free throws. Gary Majors, a 6-9 senior and Moe Barr provide much of the experience on the squad. METCALF SAYS that possibly the best player on the team “is a kid named Zopf who they claim is their most exciting player since Willie Somerset (currently a star with Houston of the ABA).” Zopf was player-of-year in his NCAA District last season and was selected to the Associated Press All-East second team. Other teams in the Aggies’ bracket at the tournament are St. Bona venture, who went through the regular season undefeated last year, and the University of the Pacific. The Bonnies, led by 6-11 All-American center B<j>ib Lanier, has currently lost only one game that to Detroit and Olympic hero Spencer Haywood. THE OTHER bracket of the All-College consists of Oklahoma City, Tulane, LSU and Wyoming. LSU, with All-American and the nation’s scoring leader Pete Mar- avich; and Tulane, who defeated LSU in Baton Rouge earlier, are regarded as two of the finest teams in the South. Wyoming is currently undefeated and ranked in the nation’s top 20. The Aggies go on the road with four players averaging in double figures for the year. Billy Bob Barnett, a senior from Brenham, has been the team’s most profi cient scorer with a 20.0 average while Ronnie Peret is scoring 19.8 per contest, Sonny Benefield 13.6 and Mike Heitmann 11.0. BILL COOKSEY, a sophomore from Houston Sam Houston, is at 7.0 while Harry Bostic is hit ting for 6.4 average, Steve Niles 3.6, Bill Brown 3.0 and Chuck Smith 2.0. In the first five games Barnett, Peret, Benefield, Heit mann, Cooksey, Niles and Bostic have held starting jobs at least once. A&M has hit on 161 of 312 shots as a team for a 51.6 per centage with Peret leading the way with a 67.3 mark while Bar nett is at 54.1, Heitmann 50.0, Benefield 48.3, Niles 46.2, Bostic 42.4 and Cooksey 41.7. The Ag gies have outrebounded their op ponents 235-182 with Peret lead ing the way with 11.0 average. Barnett has pulled down 7.8 per contest while Bostic has a 6.8 average. Coach Metcalf’s cagers return home on Jan. 6 for their first Southwest Conference game of the year against the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
