The SWC champions play the Trinity Tigers at 9 p. m. in Fort Worth’s Daniel- By JOHN PLATZER The Aggies take the first step on a long road which could event ually lead to Manhatten, Kansas, tomorrow night at 9 in Fort Worth’s Daniel-Meyer Coliseum as they tangle with the Trinity Tigers. The Aggies got to the game by virtue of their Southwest Con ference championship while Trin ity was invited as an independ ent after winning the Southland Conference and being ranked fifth among the nation’s small colleges. Trinity is described by Aggie head coach Shelby Metcalf as being a real “tough team” with great speed, quickness and jump ing prowess. “We will have to play one of our very best games of the year to have a chance of beating Trin ity,” Coach Metcalf said. The Trinity head coach, Bob Polk, is equally generous in his praise of the Aggies. “They’re the strongest team we’ve played all year and they’re certainly the biggest. We know they’re gonna knock us around,” Polk said. “We just hope we can give them a good game.” The Tigers, who posted a 19-4 record during the regular season, are led by All-American forward Larry Jeffries. Jeffries is one of the most proficient scorers in the history of college basketball in the state of Texas. In his last outing, the 6-3 forward pumped in 40 points. Playing the other forward for Trinity is Tom Fisher (6-3) while Bill Stokes (6-2) and John Lynch (6-1) man the guard spots.

Friendswood and West Sabine of Pineland, both in East Texas, advanced to the finals in Class A on the opening day of the tournament. West Sabine pulled away from Detroit in the second quarter and coasted to a 72-54 victory over the Northeast Texans. Friendswood, a 1968 runner-up, also used a big second period to whip Clarendon 70-51. Hearne looked like a winner in the first half, taking a 35-26 lead after two quarters. But Bridges and Perry began the block shots and controlled the backboards, keeping Hearne’s 6-8 Robert White from shooting close-in. Pat Anderson led Hearne with 17 points and White had 14. Bridges scored 15 for Klein — a Houston area team — and Tom my Keiser 14 and Perry 12. Billy Horn, a 5-foot-ll senior, scored 26 points for West Sabine, which won state titles in 1963 and 1965. High-jumping Connie Hunter, only 6 feet, grabbed 15 points. Detroit had trouble getting the ball across midcourt against West Sabine’s full-court defense and lost the ball on mistakes 27 times without getting a shot. Gary Moore scored on several twisting, driving shots to lead Detroit with 14 points. Greg Lampard, a junior reserve who played only the second half, tossed in 13. Friendswood outscored Claren don, a Panhandle team, by 19-5 in the second quarter and after that was never seriously threat ened. Kent Ballard, a quick sophomore, grabbed rebounds and stole the ball all over the court and flipped sharp passes to Tom Long for easy baskets in the second quarter surge. Milner Leading C Intramurals The race for intramural cham pions of Class C has turned into a four-way tussle with Milner Hall holding the lead at the pres ent.

J ' " J V College Station’s Own Banking Service University National Bank NORTH GATE Sleep in Heavenly Peace Peace is a baby sleeping. Peace is a walk in God’s forests. Peace is gentle Love for one another. Great word . . . Peace! We see it in the newspapers, on T.V., in maga zines beside horror pictures of war and carnage. But, Peace is not some thing outside ourselves. It is within. It is the quiet calmness of mind and soul, unperturbed, undismayed. But it is difficult to acquire this frame of mind, this elusive state of soul, this tranquil spirit. To achieve it we need guidance and help, and therefore we turn to our Church. Here, one sets problems in order, sees difficulties in perspective and consults with one’s Creator. Peace of heart is a two-way street—our way to God, and His way to us.
