The Texas Aggies’ basketball
squad touched down here in
Texas after their succesful holi
day tournament schedule only
long enough to refuel it seems
because tonight they start play
ing for real as they open the 1970
Southwest Conference race in
Fayetteville against the Arkansas
Razorbacks.
The defending conference cham
pions returned from the holiday
wars in fine fashion as they
nipped host Furman, 68-66, in the
first round of the Poinsetta
Classic in Greenville, S. C., then
edged Northwestern of the Big
Ten, 93-91, in overtime to earn
the championship trophy. In the
Sun Carnival tournament in El
Paso earlier they lost to Missouri
in the opening round but came
back to take the third place
trophy by defeating Clemson.
Mike Heitmann, the 6-4 senior
captain for A&M, set a tourna
ment record wtih 37 points in the
championship game in Greenville
and was named the Most Valuable
Player in the meet. Heitmann and
junior center Steve Niles, who set

a school rebound record with 21
against Furman, were named to
the all-tournament team.
Niles set the record against the
Paladins despite going against the
nation’s fifth-ranked rebounder
Joe Brunson.
Coach Shelby Metcalf was
pleased wtih the progress of his
team as the intersectional play
ended.
“I think we matured a lot. T'hd
team is playing together well, and
they showed a lot of composure
under pressure.
“We’ve played five two-point
games out of nine, and that is
going to be an invaluable experi
ence in the conference race.

The rebounding strength of the
Aggies has also been evident this
year along with their fine de
fensive play. They have out-
rebounded opponents by nearly
ten per game and have limited
their foes to 72.7 points per con
test.
Riding a three-game winning
streak, the Aggies upped their
season mark to 5-4 but face a
scrappy Razorback five tonight
at 8. Heitmann, with a 19.7 norm
leads the A&M scoring parade
followed by Bill Cooksey at 13.6,
Niles 13.3, Chuck Smith 12.9 and
Pat Kavanaugh 5.3. These five
will be in the starting lineup
tonight for the 8 p.m. tipoff. Top
reserves will be Rick Duplantis
(6.9), Jeff Watkins (2.9), and
Robert Threadgill (2.2).

Larry Stegent, A&M’s prize running back, was named
Saturday as the Most Valuable Player in the American Bowl
in Tampa, Fla.
The 6-1, 197-pounder led the South All-Stars back in
the second half to defeat the North All-Stars 24-23 after they
had trailed by as much as 17-3. He ripped off 114 yards in 17
carries for the South and scored a touchdown on a five-yard
jaunt late in the game.
It was the second of three post season bowl appearances
for the Aggie runner, who was a two-time All-SWC selection.
He will also play this Saturday in the Senior Bowl.
Stegent finished the season as the top Aggie rusher with
676 yards on 197 carries for a 3.4 average and four
touchdowns. He was the 1967 SWC Sophomore of the Year
and made several honorable mention All-America squads this
year.
