THE BATTALION
Aggies Face Kent State In Houston
By Richard Campbell
Battalion Sports Editor
The Texas Aggie basketballers
take to the road for the first time
this season Friday night when
they skip down Highway Six
about ninety miles to the newly
opened Hofheinz Pavilion to do
battle with Kent State (2-1) in
the Bluebonnet Classic.
The Houston Cougars are play
ing host to the affair as A&M,
Kent State, and Nebraska all try
to take advantage of their hos
pitality. The Golden Flashes from
Kent, Ohio, are a strong member
of the Mid-American Conference
in the nation’s basketball belt
and return two starters from a
14-10 season. They finished
1968-69 with a 6-6 league mark
with 6-7 senior Tom Lagodich a
cog in the Flash attack. He av
eraged 16 points last year and
was picked on some All-America
preseason squads this year.
The Aggies face the Golden
Flashes in the first round Friday
at 9 p.m. following the Houston-
Nebraska clash at Houston, now
3-0, faces a strong Cornhusker
five which this year has been
the surprise in the Midlands.
They have knocked off Wichita
State and Duquesne, both highly
regarded, nationally ranked
teams.
The Aggies are coming off a
109-80 win Monday night as they
bombed Midwestern University
to even their season mark at
1-1. In running up their top non
conference point total in history,
the Aggies finally got the per
formance out of junior Steve
Niles that everyone had been ex
pecting. Niles, the 7-0 postman
from San Antonio Lee, hit 31
points and dragged 16 rebounds
down to completely dominate the
game.
All five A&M starters will be
averaging in double figures with
Niles leading the way with a
20.0 norm. Senior captain Mike
Heitmann has a 17.5 mark, Rick
Duplantis 14.0, Chuck Smith
Strong Track Squad Goes

ners of three relay races in an

In the season opener against
Blinn Junior College, the trio ac
counted for 51 points, as Gobin
chipped in 21, O’Brien sank 17,
and Overhouse crammed in 13
points. The production equaled
the exact total of scores tallied
by the entire Blinn team.
Charlie Jenkins came off
bench in the second half to
the coads with nine points in the
brief time that he played.
Wharton is led by returning
letterman John Tucker, 6-7; Burt
Griffin, 6-2; Art Lockett, 6-5;
Lester Dickinson, 6-3; Ty Pate,
6-1; and Gerald Tennison, 5-9.
The Pioneers play an agres-
sive man for man defense with
a run-and-shoot offense. The Pio
neers were edged by the Univer
sity of Texas at Austin Fresh
men by one point in the final
second last week.
Wharton is coached by Eugene
Bahnsen, who in 10 years at
Pioneerland has produced five
Texas Junior College Champions.
There have been several Wharton
players who have transferred to
other colleges and made accred-
itable showings for themselves.
The most recent one being Earl
Dow, a star guard for the Lamar
Tech Cardinals, who played here
against A&M last fall.
Fish Coach Jim Culpepper will
probably start the contest with
Wayne Howard and Gobin at the
forwards, Bill O’Brien at point,
with Bryan Mezger and Over
house at the post slots.
The Fish will layoff until Jan
uary 10, when they play the Bay
lor Cubs here preceding the Var
sity game.
13.0, and Bill Cooksey 10.5. Heit
mann and Cooksey are both
graduates of Sam Houston High
School and will be returning home
to Houston.
A&M has outrebounded its two
opponents by 15 per game with
Niles leading the way again with
a 12.5 average. The Aggies have
also been accurate at the charity
stripe with a .750 percentage.
“These five look like our best
lineup,” Coach Shelby Metcalf
said. “We have Pat Kavanaugh
for outside help, but we need
to come up with some depth in
side. We were encouraged with
the play of Byron Chandler.”
Chandler is a 6-10 senior
squadman who backs up Niles at
the low post position. He scored
13 points and grabbed eight re
bounds in relief of Niles.

“Christmas Eve Through the Centuries”
CHRISTMAS EVE FOLLOWING THE
REFORMATION
The first religious songs used by the early Protestants
were Psalms set to music. The following carol, “Joy to
the World,” written by Isaac Watts in 1719, is a para
phrase of Psalm 98.
A Litany in Words and Song
Joy to the World; the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and flocks, rocks hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy.
God was in Christ
At first (the contemporaries of Christ) may have said,
God sent him. After a while that sounded too cold, as
though God were a bow and Jesus the arrow. That would
not do. God did more than send him. So I suspect they
went on to say, God is with him. That went deeper. Yet,
as their experience with him progressed, it was not ade
quate. God was more than with him. So at last we catch
the reverent accents of a new conviction, God came in
him. That was not so much theology at first as poetry.
It was an exhilarating insight and its natural expression
was a song. God can come into human life! Divinity and
humanity are not so separate that the visitation,? of the
Eternal are impossible.
