Rollie White Coliseum Saturday night at 8 against Texas Chris tian hoping that the home court is as good to them as foreign ter ritory has been in their last two outings. Coach Shelby Metcalf’s cagers are currently in the midst of a five-game winning streak that has boosted them to the top of the SWC ladder with a 3-0 league mark. The streak includes a pair of key road triumphs 73-68 over Arkansas and 76-75 over South ern Methodist. Baylor currently trails A&M by a half game with a 2-0 SWC record. Texas Christian has been the most puzzling team in the con ference thus far as the defending SWC champs are still looking for their first league victory after four games. Coach Metcalf be lieves that it is just a matter of time before the Frogs find them selves, however, and he hopes that time is after Saturday. “They have a real fine ball club. They are the defending champs and they have four of their start ers back from last season plus a real fine junior college transfer from California,” Coach Metcalf said. The transfer is 6-8 Doug Boyd from Lakeside, California who competed in the Olympic Trials this season and picked the Chris tians from among 55 major col leges who tried to recruit him. The returning starters are seniors James Cash (6-6) and Tom Swift (6-5), and juniors Rick Wittenbraker (6-2) and Bill Swanson (6-0). The Frogs have been strong- in the rebounding department this season but have yet to put together a good shooting game. They lost their first SWC game at home against SMU before los ing to Baylor in Waco and Texas in Austin. TCU returned to Fort Worth Tuesday night where they dropped a 71-64 decision to the Rice Owls. In Dallas Tuesday the Aggies used a pair of free throws by Sonny Benefield with five sec onds remaining in overtime to down SMU 76-75. “We were just real fortunate to win,” Coach Metcalf said, “but Benefield was Mr. Clutch on those free shots.” Benefield, Billy Bob Barnett and Mike Heitmann were cited as playing particularly well during the game. Barnett, A&M’s top scorer thus far, had his best game of the season with 26 points and 15 rebounds. The 6-5 senior from Brenham hit on 10 of 16 field shots while Benefield con nected on 7 of 11 and scored 16 points and Heitmann hit on 6 of 12 while scoring 17 points. Heitmann, a 6-4 junior from Houston Sam Houston, was de scribed by Coach Metcalf as do ing a “splendid job on defense” against the Ponies. Ronnie Peret, A&M’s second leading scorer and top rebounder for the season, scored 11 points and grabbed 5 BIG AGGIE Billy Bob Barnett is the leading scorer and second in re bounds this season for the league-leading Aggies. He tal lied 26 points Tuesday night in Dallas against SMU as the Ags picked up their third win without a loss in conference play. space ion as ?35.

Forzano, currently offensive backfield coach for the Cincinnati Bengals of the American Foot ball League, replaces Bill Elias as head football coach. Elias was dropped Dec. 11. Elias’ 1968 team lost eight of 10 games and bowed to Army 21-14. Forzano, who was an assistant coach at Navy from 1959 to 1964 when he became coach at the University of Connecticut, never played at Kent State University from which he was graduated. He had a broken ankle, but he be came a backfield coach there and went on into a coaching career. He is 40 years old. Navy tends to judge its coaches on the strength of the big game with Army. By that standard Elias did not do too badly. In 1965 he tied Army 717. That was the last year of Paul Diet- zel’s regime at West Point. The next year, with Tom Cahill at Army’s helm, the Cadets won 20- 17, but Navy engineered an upset, 19-14 in 1967. Last November Army won 21-14. In making the announcement of Forzano’s appointment, Capt. J. O. Coppedge, the athletic director of the Academy, said that 200 candidates had been screened. “We looked into each candidate thoroughly and arrived at the conclusion that no one fits our nears more adequately than Rick Forzano,” he said. Forzano during his previous stint at the Academy was cred ited with bringing Roger Stau- back, the 1963 Heisman trophy winner, to Annapolis.
