Ags upset Tech, face Longhorn challenge
By CLIFFORD BROYLES
Battalion Sports Editor
“We play well but we just
haven’t been shooting well.”
Coach Shelby Metcalf has been
using those same words just
about all season long, but Satur
day afternoon his team played
well and they shot well enroute
to a 66-64 win over the Texas
Tech Red Raiders in the Raid
ers’ own back yard, Lubbock Mu
nicipal Coliseum, which was
packed beyond its capacity of
more than 8,000.
The Aggies shot 48.9 percent
from the floor and gave the
Raiders their first loss at home
in conference play this season.
Tonight the Aggies try to
equal their longest winning
streak of the year when they
host the University of Texas at
Austin at 8 in G. Rollie White
Coliseum.
A&M had a six-game winning
streak over the Longhorns
snapped when the two teams met
in the first round in Austin.
The Aggies lost the first meet
ing at the foul line when Texas
attempted 52 free throws, mak
ing 34. Four Aggies fouled out
—Steve Niles, Rick Duplantis,
Jeff Overhouse and Chuck Smith
—leaving the team with no real
rebounding strength in the fad
ing minutes as it tried to over
come a UT-Austin lead.
In the first meeting the Long
horns got outstanding work from
Tyler Junior College transfer
Jimmy Blacklock, who scored 21
and had 11 of 21 from the field,
mostly on long jump shots.
Billy Black, who played in
high school with the Aggies’
Steve Niles, scored 15 in the first
meeting and Scooter Lenox, who
got 15, will be in the back court
for UT-Austin. Lynn Howden
and B. G. Brosterhous, the two
guns inside for Texas, are aver
aging 14.8 and 11.3 respectively
and are averaging near double
figures in rebounds.
In their last game, with the
University of Arkansas, all five
Longhorn starters scored in dou
ble figures, despite the fact they
lost 88-87 in overtime.
That loss trims them to a 4-6
season mark, and A&M’s win
over Tech makes the Aggies
now 3-7 and a win would tie the
two schools with two games re
maining.
The Aggies will start Charlie
Jenkins out front against the
Longhorns. Although not start
ing, Jenkins played well and hit
a crucial bucket in the overtime
period against Tech.
“Bob Gobin and Jenkins were
really passing up the opposition
coming down the floor,” Metcalf
said and noted that this gave the
Aggies a 5 on 4 offense.
“We haven’t been getting
that,” he added.
Aside from Jenkins, the Ags
will start the same four who
played against Tech.
Jeff Overhouse, who has to be
the league’s top candidate for
Sophomore of the Year, hit on 11
of 17 as he put on an impressive
show before the television cam
eras of the regionally televised
battle. He finished with 27
points and grabbed 12 rebounds,
by senior Chuck Smith,
a game high that was equalled
Smith, who had 14 points de
spite putting up only 5 field goal
attempts and Niles, who snapped
out of slump with 14 points and
7 rebounds, will round out the
front court.
It was Niles who made the
final difference when he netted
a layup with one second to go
in the overtime period to break
the tie.
Both teams displayed a disci
plined offensive style and the
Aggies took advantage to take
the measure of the Raiders, de
spite blowing a six point lead in
regulation time.
It looked like another typical
Aggie finish when they missed
several late chances to break the
game open at the foul line.
Tankers split two meets
By MICHAEL RICE
Battalion Sports Writer
The Texas Aggie swim team
came home Saturday night with
another win and another loss in
its pocket as it thoroughly
splashed Eastern New Mexico out
of the water Friday night at
Portales, N. M., with a runaway
score of 98-13.
And while the Aggie basketball
team was busy beating Texas
Tech at Lubbock, the Raiders’
swim team trounced the A&M
swimmers by almost the same
score the Texas swim team
downed the Ags Tuesday, 72-41.
Looking at the ENMU swim
meet, the Aggies managed to
place first and second in every
event except for the 1000-yard
freestyle, where Eric Wolff placed
first with a time of 11:00:2, and
Steve Prentice placed third with
Mike Hicks
an 11:21:4. The other event was
the 500-yard freestyle where Dan
Sonnenberg qualified first with
5:17:0 and John Allred came in
third with 5:56:3.
Other first place finishers were
Gordon Taylor in the 200-yard
freestyle and the 200-yard back-
stroke; Mike Hicks in the 50-yard
freestyle and the 200-yard butter
fly; Tom Sparks in the 200-yard
individual medley; and Steve
Prentice in the 200-yard back-
stroke.
Also the medley relay team of
John McCleary, Fred Meyers,
Duncan Cooper and Sparks, and
the freestyle relay team of Steve
Sonnenberg, McCleary, Doug Car-
son and Meyers, placed first in
the meet.
Duncan Cooper, an A&M diver,
placed first in the 1-meter and
3-meter diving competition.
Commenting on the results of
the meet with ENMU, Coach
Dennis Fosdick said, “We were
experimenting at this meet to find
the best possible spot to place our
swimmers for the conference meet,
while giving the boys a break
from what they usually swim. I
think they swam fairly well con
sidering they usually don’t swim
these events.
“But the meet in Lubbock was
a different story,” he said. “Our
boys were just swimming tired, so
we’re going to he easying off this
week and only have one workout
per day by cutting the morning
workouts out of our schedule.
“We did have some good ef
forts,” Fosdick continued. “Eric
Wolff did another outstanding job
in the 200-yard freestyle with a
1:49:8 and the freestyle relay
team of McCleary, Taylor, Wolff
and Sparks turned in a 3:29:1,
just one second off the school
record.”
Wolff and the relay team
earned first places, and Steve
Prentice placed first in the 200- ,
yard backstroke for A&M.
Placing second for the Aggies
were Sparks in the 50-yard free
style; Hicks in the 200-yard indi
vidual medley and the 200-yard
backstroke; Bobby Willoughby in
the 200-yard butterfly; and Car-
son in the 200-yard breaststroke.
Other point-getters for A&M
were Dan Sonnenberg, McCleary,
Cooper and Taylor.
“Our times are beginning to
come back down,” Fosdick said.
“They have to, because we’re
swimming sixth-ranked SMU this
coming weekend, and they’re
really going to be rough.”

For once the Aggies took less
shots than their opponent but
once again the team that took
fewer shots managed to win, and
that’s what counts.
Tech hit on 24 of 61, and was
stymied by the Ag’s zone de
fense. Greg Lowery, the leading
outside gunner, hit only 5 of 17
and Gene Knolle was only 4 of
15.
“We started out playing a
mixture of the man to man and
zone and the zone worked pretty
well for us so we stayed with
it,” Metcalf said.
The Aggies started slow and
when the game was four minutes
deep the score had A&M lead-
gotten as the Aggies jubilantly
celebrated their upset of the
Raiders.
In the preliminary game to
night, the Aggie Fish, who have
not played a game in 10 days and
haven’t won one in 20, play the
University of Texas at Austin
Freshmen at 5:45.
The Fish have dropped their
last two starts and are 5-4 for
the season. The Yearlings start
ed that streak with a 96-62 romp
on Feb. 9 in Austin as Lawrence
Johnson and Larry Robinson of
the Yearlings intimidated . the
Fish with a super show of block
ing shots.
Coach Jim Culpepper will start
Randy Knowles, the team’s lead
ing scorer with a 20.2 average,
and Bobby McKey, with a 12.7
mark. Johnny Mayo, the leading
rebounder, has a 12.2 mark and
Jack Vest has a 6.9 average. Joe
Arciniega is also averaging 6.9.
“That was the first time I ever
faced anything like that,” the
high school All-American from
Ohio Knowles said, referring to
the constant shot-blocking of
Johnson and Robinson. “I guess
I got a little shook up, but we
know what we’re facing this time
and we’ll be ready.”

ing, 4-2. They held the lead un
til just 13 minutes remained,
when the score was 10-8.
Overhouse then put on his
show and hit everything in sight
from short jumpers outside to
inside layups and tip-ins.
Tech moved its defense inside
to slow down the Clear Creek
high ex, who had 17 points, and
they did limit him to 10 in the
second half, but he didn’t shoot
but six times from the floor and
made four.
Niles got 9 of his 14 in the
second half as the Aggies broke
from a 33-31 halftime lead.
They took a 57-51 lead into
the final 3 minutes but missed
a one-on-one free throw effort
that would have given them an
8 point lead. Then after Mike
Oakes got a tip in they missed
another one-and-one and David
Johnson made two foul shots to
narrow the margin to two. After
Chuck Smith gave A&M a 59-55
lead with 1:30 to go with two
foul shots Lowery then hit from
25 feet.
But with a minute to go, the
Aggies missed again on a one-
and-one and Steve -Williams put
the game into overtime with a
layup after getting a rebound
with 39 seconds to go.
Niles missed a last-second shot
to send the game into overtime
but put in the clincher in the
overtime and everything bad
that happened before was for-
The Texas Aggie tennis team
won its third straight dual match
without a loss Saturday after
noon as the Aggies defeated St.
Edwards University of Austin,
7-0 on varsity courts.
A&M now owns wins over the
University of Houston and Texas
A&I as well as the Big State
Conference team.
The Aggies played without
their numbers one and two play
ers, Jon Ragland and Dickie
Fikes, who sat out the match.
“A couple of singles matches,
Chastain’s and Park’s were real
tough ones, but they came on to
win in split sets and that’s what
counts,” Coach Omar Smith com
mented of the match. “Our dou
bles team played well and didn’t
have any trouble.”
The Aggies will have no dual
matches this week but will be
entered in the Corpus Christi In
vitational tournament Thursday
through Saturday, which will
have five of the top seven teams
in the country entered.
