Aggies need a win
against TCU Frogs
By CLIFFORD BROYLES
Battalion Sports Editor
The Texas Aggies—trying to
avoid two losses at the start of
the Southwest Conference race—
and the Texas Christian Univer
sity Homed Frogs, the surprise
team in the league, meet Satur
day at 12:30 p.m. in G. Rollie
White Coliseum in a very impor
tant league contest.
The importance of this one
really sticks out for the Aggies,
since their opening loss to Bay
lor, and for the Frogs it could
Bob Gobin
mean a run at the title in a year
which they weren’t supposed to
do it.
at Fort Worth Christian, is keep
ing up the pace with 20.7 and
15.9 marks this year.
He hit for 23 points and a sea
son high of 24 rebounds against
Tech and his season shooting per
centage is an amazing 60.2, one
of the best in the country.
Simpson DeGrate, a native of
Marlin who starred at McLennan
Community College, is the
Horned Frogs’ second leading
scorer with a 14-point mark and
also is netting 8.6 rebounds. He
scored 27 points a game last year
for McLennan.
Only one starter is back of last
year’s team, Ricky Hall. Hall
will be one of the forwards and
has a 12.6 average this season.
Coco Villereal, who started part
time for the Frogs last year will
be the other forward.
Then it’s playmaker Jim Fer
guson out front. Ferguson is
scoring at a 9.4 clip but leads,
the Frogs with 41 assists.
Last year at Long Beach City
College he set a school record of
251 assists, an average of nine
per game.
Beyond that, Swain has only
two other main players. Sopho
more James Williams has a 6-
point average and he backs up
Ferguson. Evans Royal, a 6-5
junior letterman, is a top reserve
forward.
TCU will run a more disci
plined game than Baylor, a style
similar to the Aggies, but that
doesn’t mean it will be to the
Aggies’ advantage.
“TCU’s a much more physical
ball club than Baylor and that
will make up for that,” Coach
Shelby Metcalf said.
Bill Cooksey, senior guard
from Houston who has been used
as a reserve most of the season,
will draw a starting assignment
in place of Charlie Jenkins for
the encounter.
“We are going to start Bill to
get his experience into the
game,” Metcalf said.
Cooksey is averaging 6.1
points a game.
Alongside him will be sopho
more Bob Gobin, who has been
starting for the last four games.
Gobin and Jeff Overhouse, two
top sophomores, have been pleas
ant surprises and Metcalf classi
fied their performances as well
above the average you get from
a sophomore.
Gobin carries a 7.2 average
into the game and Overhouse,
who leads the Aggie scoring with
19 and rebounding with 13
against Baylor will carry a 10.8
point and 7.7 rebound average
into the game.
Seniors Chuck Smith and Steve
Niles will join them in the start
ing lineup.
Smith is the team’s third lead
ing scorer with a 9.4 norm and
rebounder with 6.1 a contest.
Niles leads in both categories
with 16.3 points and 10.5 re
bounds a game.
TCU trimmed Texas Tech 85-
71, Tuesday night in Fort Worth
to move its SWC record to 1-0
and season mark to 5-8.
The win was impressive be
cause it showed that the Frogs
had reached the point where they
are together.
They started the season with
more junior college transfers and
sophomores than returning
Jeff Overhouse
squadmen, and most observers
felt the only chance they had was
to get their JC boys broken into
the TCU system by the time
league play came around.
It took a painful 4-8 record to
do so, but the win over Tech
proved it has been successful.
Three of those transfers will
start Saturday in the game that
will be telecast regionally.
The freshman teams of the two
schools will meet in a preliminary
game at 10 a.m.
Eugene Kennedy, a 6-6 center,
is the Frog who has raised the
most eyebrows since transferring
from Fort Worth Christian Col
lege.

points and 22 rebounds last year

Fish to meet Wogs in game tomorrow
By JOHN CURYLO
Assistant Sports Editor
The Aggie Fish are back in
action tomorrow, and they’ll be
trying to continue in the winning
ways of Tuesday night when they
defeated the Baylor Cubs 66-65.
The opponent this time will be
the TCU Wogs, who have com
piled a 1-2 record against three
junior colleges. Fish Coach Jim
Culpepper describes them as be
ing a fast team, but not with a
lot of size.
“We’ll play our normal game,”
Culpepper said. “They like to run,
and we’ll try to show them bet
ter defense than they’ve been up
against. To beat their outside
game, we need to get on the
boards and limit them to one
shot.”
The Wogs show a fairly bal
anced scoring attack through
three games among the members
of their starting lineup. Bill Ma-
rano, 6-5, from West Islip, New
York, leads the team with 24
points and 10 rebounds. Mitch
Alexander is close behind with
an average of 23. He is also 6-5,
and is from Albuquerque, New
Mexico. Roosevelt Brown, from
Fort Worth Terrell, is 6-5. His
average is 13 points per game.
Also from Fort Worth (Wyatt),
Jeff Wright is 6-1, and he has a
12 point average. The other start
er is Carey Vann of Houston Sam
Houston. He is 6-2 and averages
10 points.
The Wogs started the season
with two pre-holiday games, los
ing to Navarro Junior College,
108-94, and beating Temple Jun
ior College, 94-92. After a long
break, they lost to McLennan
Community College Tuesday by
a score of 81-72.
Culpepper said that the Fish
seem to be getting back into good
physical condition after their long
vacation. He added that he was
pleased with Tuesday’s win over
the Baylor Cubs.
“They didn’t lose poise when
they were under the gun,” he
said. “For the length of time
they’ve played, that’s real good.
When they get consistent, they’ll
be pretty good. We need to win
against TCU.”
Culpepper cited the play of
Bobby McKey and Randy Knowles
in the Baylor game. They con
tributed 19 and 22 points, respec
tively. Knowles sank some clutch
free throws late in the game to
seal the victory. He also hit on a
long jump shot at the buzzer.
The other starters for Satur
day’s game, which begins at 10
a.m., due to a regional television
broadcast of the varsity game,
will be Joe Ariciniega, Johnny
Mayo, and Jack Vest. Top sub
stitutes are Mark Stewart and
Randy Pryor. Pryor just joined
the team at semester, wanting
first to establish himself aca
demically. Culpepper said that his
height and speed help him and
that he played real well against
Baylor.
