WHY AN
EMPLOYMENT
AGENCY?
It’s a big world in finding the
best person for the job and the
right job for the person is quite a
task. Without employment agen
cies, the time and effort involved
for both the employers and pros
pective employees could be diffi
cult and prolonged. The function
of an employment agency is two
fold.
1. To asertain a job seeker’s
capabilities so that his search for
employment is as brief and fruit
ful as possible.
2. To pre-screen applicants so
that the busy employer need not
waste valuable time interviewing
any but the people best qualified
for the position he wishes to fill.

straight conference win Saturday
night, 84-72, before 6,190 fans in
G. Rollie White.
The victory gave the Frogs un
disputed lead in the Southwest
Conference with a 6-1 mark
while Baylor and Rice trail at
5-2. Rice beat the Bears Saturday
night, 72-71, to keep the heavily
favored Bruins from staying in
first place. The Aggies are now
8-9 for the year and fell to a
3-4 conference slate with their
third loss in their last four games.
Doug Boyd, the 6-8 pivot-man
for TCU was kept under wraps
for most of the first half but he
played inspired basketball in the
final half to pace the Frogs with
20 points and 13 rebounds. The
big surprise in the Frog attack
came in the form of Norm Win-
termeyer, a 6-5 styuior transfer,
who hit on eight of 12 from the
field and finished with 21 points
to lead all scorers.
A&M went to work early in
the game with Pat Kavanagh
leading when Boyd picked up
his third foul with 14:49 left.
Twice he drove for beautiful lay
ups to boost the Aggies’ lead,
which would ultimately reach 11.
But the pace slowed somewhat
when Kavanagh picked up his
third foul and TCU started their
comeback with a full court press,
which, although it didn’t stop
A&M, definitely bothered them
enough to make the game inter
esting. Bill Cooksey’s fine out
side shooting performance was
not enough to stop the Frog es
calation march as they charged
back to trail only 40-39 at the
break.
TCU came right back out in
the press and, coupled, with a
hot-shooting and rebounding per
formance by Boyd, they shot
ahead for the first time. The only
thing keeping them from pulling
ahead even more was their ques
tionable free throw shooting be
cause the Aggies, with the ex
ception of Kavanagh, were hav
ing their own problems finding
the bucket.
Kavanagh and Boyd put on a
scoring exhibition exchanging
baskets for about a three minute
span and then it happened. A&M
could not find the hoop and the
Frogs took advantage by miss
ing sparingly. They ran off 19
points to two for the Aggies in
about a five-minute span to go
from a 63-60 lead to a 78-62
bulge. Nothing went right and
Aggie coach Shelby Metcalf pro
tested a call against A&M and
Frog Jeff Harp sunk three tech
nical foul shots to give TCU some
extra padding. From there the
Frogs spent much of the game
shooting free throws with the
Aggies forced to fool trying to
get the ball.

Their title hopes virtually
stopped, the Texas Aggies square
off tonight in G. Rollie White
against the Texas Longhorns in
a game that means nothing in
the Southwest Conference stand
ings but means a lot in pride to
both teams.
Leon Black’s Horns, a pre-
season favorite picked along with
the Aggies, have found the con
ference going a little rough and
will pull into the 8 p.m. contest
with a league mark of 2-6.
They will open with only one
senior in the starting lineup,
captain Wayne Doyal, a 6-6 for
ward. Sam Bradley (6-2) will
start at one guard with transfer
Terry Mullin (6-1) at the other,
Eric Groscurth (6-6) and Doyal
will start at the forwards and
6-7 Lynn Howden, a transfer from
LSU and South Texas Junior Col
lege, will open at the center slot.
The Aggies will counter with a
starting five that has only one
senior too; Mike Heitmann, the
leading scorer. He will start at
one forward slot with Bill Cook
sey (6-2) at the other. At the
post positions will be 6-5 Chuck
Smith and 7-0 Steve Niles and at
the point will be 6-0 transfer Pat
Kavanagh.
There will be a Fish-Yearlings
clash at 5:45 p.m.

“A bunch of losers,” said Hayes
while boarding a bus with his
teammates following Sunday
night’s loss to the Los Angeles
Lakers.
Elvin, who claims part of the
blame for the Rockets’ 19-37, last-
place record in the Western Di
vision, said:
“They’ll continue down. I don’t
think this particular group of
players can win anywhere.”
