THE BATTALION
Rice out for revenge against Aggies;
Fish challenge tough Owlets in prelim
By JOHN CURYLO
Assistant Sports Editor
Round two of the 1971 South
west Conference basketball race
begins this week, and the Satur
day night contest here with the
defending champion Rice Owls
couldn’t be a tougher game for
the Aggies,
It was only a little over two
weeks ago that A&M embarrass
ed the Owls in Houston, 74-73, a
loss which sent Rice into a three
game tailspin before they handed
TCU its first conference loss of
the year Tuesday night.
“Rice is hot,” said Coach Shelby
Metcalf. “They just beat the top
two teams in the league. They’re
coming in here at their peak.”
They downed TCU 89-63, and
the Houston school knows that it
cannot lose too many more and
still repeat as champs. TCU is
now 6-1. That flat period hurt
Rice, and they will want to avenge
the loss of just a short while ago.
“They’ll be pretty mad,” Met
calf agreed. “We’ll try to disor
ganize them if we can. They have
that great guard combination, and
if their new rebounding strength
holds up, they should be tough
to beat.”
The Aggies, on the other hand,
are 2-5 in conference, having suf
fered since the win against Rice.
Although they defeated Arkansas,
losses to Texas Tech, SMU, and
Texas make this game a “must”
for A&M also.
“I feel like we’re playing well,”
Metcalf said. “Our shooting is
not good, but we’ve had great
effort, ball movement, defense,
and rebounding. I think that if we
have a normal night shooting, we
can win.”
The starting five against Rice
will consist of 7-foot senior Steve
Niles, 6-5 senior Chuck Smith,
6-7 sophomore Jeff Overhouse, 6-1
sophomore Charlie Jenkins, and
6-4 sophomore Wayne Howard.
This is Howard’s first starting
assignment, although he has seen
considerable action the past few
times out. Top reserves will be
6-2 senior Bill Cooksey and 6-8
junior Rick Duplantis.
A pleasant part of this 6-13
season has been the play of the
sophomores. Metcalf acknowledg
ed Overhouse, Jenkins, Howard,
Bob Gobin, and Bill O’Brien.
“All the sophomores have been
doing real well,” he said. “They
hustle, they have character, and
they’re a smart bunch. They’re
real mature for sophomores.”
Starting for the Owls will be
Gary Reist, Tom Myer, Ted Me-
lady, Mark Wehrle, and John
Mott. Also scheduled to see con
siderable action are Steve Ems-
hoff, Bert Schmidt, Dan McGuire,
and Terry Timmerman.
With the exception of Melady
and Timmerman, all of the above
athletes are from out of state.
This brought the comment from
Metcalf that “they do a great
job of recruiting.” Indeed Coach
Don Knodel does. His charges are
hitting from the field at a per
centage of 49.3. They average
82.9 points per game.
Myer and Reist, the two guards,
are averaging 17.4 and 17.0 per
game, respectively. Wehrle is av
eraging 11.8 and Melady 10.9 to
round out the double figure men
for Rice.
In SWC play only, the leading
Aggies are Niles (14.4), Over
house (13.6) and Cooksey (10.4)
Howard is close behind with 9.7
in four games. The leading A&M
rebounder has been Overhouse,
gathering 9.9 caroms per outing.
Niles is averaging 8.4 a game.
Shooting is very evidently the
downfall in conference play for
the Aggies. Field goal-wise, the
percentage is only 40.8. In the
total point department, A&M has
been producing 74.3 and allowing
81.6 per game.
For the Aggies to be victorious,
it will be necessary for them to
Aggie Betters 2-0 with wins over UH, A&I
By BRUCE BLACK
Battalion Staff Writer
The Aggie tennis team made it
2-0 yesterday as it beat Texas
A&I, 7-0.
“We had about a 20-mile-per-
hour wind,” Coach Omar Smith
said. “It was a real tough day,
but our boys handled it very
well.”
The results of the match:
Singles:
Jon Ragland, A&M, defeated
Bob Rivera, A&I, 6-2 and 6-0.
Dickie Fikes, A&M, defeated
Gerald Rauschuber, A&I, 6-2 and
6-1.
Mike Hickey, A&M, defeated
George Jones, A&I, 6-0 and 6-0.
Tommy Connell, A&M, defeated
Reed Smith, A&I, 6-1 and 6-1.
Dan Courson, A&M, defeated
Gordon Buckley, A&I, 6-0 and
6-1.
Doubles:
Ragland-Fikes defeated Rivera-
Smith 6-1 and 6-2.
Hickey-Courson defeated Buck-
ley-Rauschuber 6-0 and 6-2.
The team will remain in Edin
burg through Sunday for compe
tition in the Pan American Inter
national Inter-collegiate matches.
“I feel we have a chance in the
tournament,” Smith said, “though
Trinity and the University of
Corpus Christi are strong favor
ites.”
Last year Trinity was ranked
second in the nation, while Cor
pus Christi took the fifth ranked
place in the country.
In the first match of the year,
the Aggie tennis team decisively
defeated the Houston Cougar net-
ters, ranked 14th in the nation,
here Wednesday.
A&M lost the first two matches,
but rallied to take the next four
before the final doubles match
was called because of darkness.
Jon Ragland dropped the open
ing match, being nipped by Jim
Rombeau, 3-6, 12-10, and 6-8.
Dickie Fikes fell short in the
second one, 6-4, 3-6, and 0-6.
Mike Hickey then took the third
match from Richai’d Ley, 10-8 and
6-4. Tommy Connell won the
fourth match, beating Tom Gus
tafson by scores of 3-6, 6-2 and
6-3. In the final singles match,
Lawton Park downed Doug Banks
6-2 and 6-0, and the Aggies led
3-2.
Hickey and Courson won the
first doubles match from the team
of Gustafson-Ley, 6-4 and 8-6. In
the last match, to be replayed at
a later date, Ragland and Fikes
split with Flores and Rambeau,
8-6 and 3-6. The final doubles
match was not pertinent to the
outcome of the team competition,
because A&M had a 4-2 lead at
this point.
Action in the Pan American
tournament began this morning
as Mike Hickey met G. Jenkins
of Lamar Tech, Tommy Connell
faced All-American Johnny Gard
ner of SMU, and Jon Ragland
played Gordon Buckley of A&I in
the first round of singles play.
The first-round doubles compe
tition got under way this after
noon as Hickey-Courson met Paul-
son-Vann of SMU and Ragland-
Fikes met Smith-Rivera of A&I.

wins gold medal
SAPPORO, Japan (A*) — Julie
Holmes, an American dream in a
wisp of green, brought the United
States its first gold medal of In
ternational Winter Sports Week
Thursday with a sparkling victory
in women’s figure skating.
Following the tradition of such
earlier American stars as Tenley
Albright, Carol Heiss and Peggy
Fleming, the 19-year-old Little
ton, Colo., girl gave a bold and
imaginative performance in the
free-skating final to win the event
handily.
“I had no idea,” she beamed
after the scores were announced.
“I didn’t know I might win.”
Miss Holmes, runner-up to Ja
net Lynn recently for the U.S.
title, rolled up an imposing total
of 1,540 points in two days of
competition to beat out Kazumi
Yamashita of Japan, who took
the silver with 1,458 points.
Miss Holmes whirled through
a free-skating routine that in
cluded daring spins and jumps.
Moving gracefully over the ice
in her lime green costume, she
was the apparent winner before
the first score was flashed.
No judge gave her a marking
under 5.7. Six points are perfect.

put 40 solid minutes of play to
gether. One of the keys to losses
against Tech, SMU, and Texas
has been a lack of consistent per
formance throughout the entire
game. Against Rice, a team that
takes advantage of every oppor
tunity, the Aggies must play
sharp basketball to overcome the
hungry Houston school. Tipoff
time is 8 p.m. in G. Rollie White
Coliseum.
In a 5:45 p.m. preliminary
game, the Aggie Fish take on the
red-hot Rice Owlets in another
kind of grudge match. The same
night that the A&M varsity beat
Rice, a come-from-behind effort
fell short for the Fish, and the
Rice freshmen handed them their
only conference loss, 81-79.
The Owlets are 9-1 at this point,
and the Fish are 5-3. The leading
Fish scorer is 6-6 Randy Knowles.
His status is doubtful, however,
due to a stone bruise. Also pos
sibly out of action may be 6-7
Johnny Mayo, who is suffering
from the flu. Definite starters
are 6-8 Jack Vest, 6-3 Joe Arci-
niega, and 5-11 Bobby McKey.
Top reserves Mark Stewart and
Randy Pryor may be pressed into
starting duty if Knowles and
Mayo cannot play.
Mayo and Knowles have been
the good things going for the
Fish this season, statistically.
Mayo has been scoring 12.6 points
a game and collecting 10 re
bounds per contest. Knowles is
averaging 19.3 points per game.
His high game was a 30 point
performance against Temple Jun
ior College.
The Owlet starters will be Ran
dy Youngling, Kim Kaufman,
Scott Fisher, Keith Huff, and
John Kabbes. They are rated as
one of the best freshmen basket
ball teams in the state, and they
will want to prove that the close
finish at Autry Court was a
fluke and that they are more than
two points better than the Aggies.
Their scoring is balanced, with
Kaufman the leader at 18.1 per
game, followed by Fisher with
17.3, Kabbes with 16.8 and Huff
with 13.0. The leading man on the
boards is Kabbes, with 10.3 re
bounds per game.
The Church..For a Fuller Life..For You
Putting
Things
In
Order
In this age of medicare, social security and homes
for the aged, sometimes people forget an important
part of growing old—tranquility!
Yes, tranquility and peace are just as important
in growing old gracefully as is sufficient insurance
or all the other means with which we show our con
cern for the elderly.
Have you ever noticed that old people have a
knack of putting things in order} In fact, they need
everything tidy, neat and sure. Certainly their great
est need is for peace and security—but this can
come only when they are at peace with God!
If we want to reap the harvest of friendship
with God in our old age, then we must cultivate
our relation with Him—when we are young and able.
Regular church attendance and worship is your as
surance of peace and tranquility during your own
gentle lengthening years. It will be a heaven-sent
reward and one which you cannot, will not, want
to miss.
