THE BATTALION
Aggies last obstacle
for TCU title march
By CLIFFORD BROYLES
The TCU Frogs have clinched a
tie for the Southwest Conference
basketball championship with two
games to play, and need only a
combination of one TCU win or
one loss by Baylor and Texas
Tech to take the crown outright.
Right now it seems pretty safe
to say they will make it. TCU
is playing real well, and with
consistently good effort from
prize junior college transfers
Eugene Kennedy, Simpson De-
Grate and Jim Ferguson, they
aren’t expected to be forced into
a playoff.
Tonight they play their final
game at Lubbock and it’s the
Texas Aggies’ job to see that
the Frogs don’t clinch it at home
this year. TCU must journey
across the county line to play
SMU Saturday, and if they lose
this one that would be a very
important affair.
The varsities of the two schools
get together tonight at 7:30 in
Daniel Meyer Coliseum after the
freshman teams square off in the
preliminary game with the TCU
freshmen — although having an
unimpressive 3-7 record—owning
the upset of the year possibly

Baylor, place
sixth at meet
The Texas Aggie tennis team
plays Baylor today at 1:30 p.m.
on varsity courts in an attempt
to stay undefeated in dual match
play after taking sixth place over
the weekend at the Corpus Christi
Invitational.
The Aggies and Bears will get
together for six singles matches
and two doubles games with
Coach Omar Smith sending his
top singles players who made the
|Corpus Christi trip in singles
play. They also will pair for
doubles action, although Paul
Lothrop and Mike Mills could see
action in doubles.
The Aggies—2-0 in match play
—were the surprise team of the
UCC tourney as they upset Oral
Roberts, ninth ranked in the
country, in the first round—who
eventually took sixth place in the
16 team field with a win over
North Texas State.
The Aggies trimmed NTSU 5-2
on Friday, with their only two
losses coming in split set play
and then bowed in the final game
6- 1 to OCU.
The Aggies’ only win in the
OCU match came in the second
doubles match when Dan Courson
and Mike Hickey combined to de
feat Dale Power and Tony Daw
son.
Final standings and national
ranking in parentheses of the
teams in the meet are:
1—Trinity (2nd); 2—Corpus
Christi (8th); 3—Rice (3rd); 4—
Brigham Young (10th); 5—Okla
homa City (12th); 6 — Texas
A&M; 7—SMU (7th); 8—North
Texas; 9—Oral Roberts (9th);
10—Pan American (15th); 11—
West Texas State; 12— Houston
(14th); 13—Texas-Austin; 14—
Texas Tech; 15—Arkansas; 16—
Baylor.

Aggie golfers
face Bearkats
The Texas Aggie golf team
opens its 1971 season today when
it plays the Sam Houston State
University Bearkats in a dual
match at the Oakridge Country
Club in Madisonville at 1 p.m.
Slated to see action for the
Aggies in their opener are Steve
Veraito — one of four returnees
from last year’s SWC runnersup
and the top qualifier for this year
— and returnees Tommy Gilbert,
Tommy Shelton and Tommy John
son and freshman Clay Dozier
from A&M Consolidated.
when they beat the UT-Austin
frosh 103-96 last weekend.
When the teams met in Austin
the Yearlings won 131-68. That’s
a difference of 69 points from
one game to the next. Larry Rob
inson, the star Yearling, scored
38 points.
The Aggie Fish controlled the
first meeting of the two teams
en route to a 92-70 win but the
results of the Texas-Wog games
makes them work like a close
one-two.
Coach Jim Culpepper is ex
pected to start Randy Knowles,
19.4, Bobby McKey, 13.7, Johnny
Mayo, 11.6, Mark Stewart, 9.8,
and Joe Arciniega, 8.4. Mayo is
the team’s top rebounder with
9.5 per game; Knowles has 8.5
and Stewart 7.3.
The varsity encounter will
match the league’s best two re
bounding clubs, with the Frogs
depending on Kennedy, 16.8—18.8
in conference—and DeGrate, 9.5
and 10.7 in league play. The Ag
gies have top board getters, Steve
Niles, 8.9, Jeff Overhouse, 8.7—
10.2 in league play—and Chuck
Smith, 6.5 in the starting lineup
and Rick Duplantis, 4.4 in reserve.
TCU won the first two meet
ings, 64-59, and it was about that
time, the second game of the sea
son, that the Frogs’JC boys were
beginning to get into high gear.
Kennedy, who seems to just
swallow up rebounds, has a game
high of 28, the SWC record, and
also is scoring at 21.3 clip with
22.0 per game in conference. De-
Grate’s improvement has really
been a big part in the Frogs’
charge as he is averaging 17.9 for
the year but 21.9 since conference
started.
Jim Ferguson, the third trans
fer, is averaging 10.6 in league
play and Ricky Hall is scoring at
a 14.5 clip. James Williams is
averaging 7.3 and he’ll start in
place of Coco Villereal.
The Aggies will have Charlie
Jenkins, 4.9, and Wayne Howard,
7.4, in the lineup along side the
big men as they go out to keep
the Frogs from clinching the title.
In Saturday’s game with Bay
lor, the Aggies battled from be
hind throughout and after taking
their only lead of the game 67-65
in the waning minutes, fell 78-71
to the Bears, who although not
yet out of the conference race
could land a spot in the National
Invitation Tournament (NIT) if
they win their last two and fin
ish with an 18-8 season record.
Beam wins ‘Heart 9 award
Charlie Jenkins
Winston Beam, senior defensive
lineman from Odessa, Friday
night became the recipient of the
sixth annual Texas A&M “Fight
ing Heart’’ trophy.
Head Football Coach Gene
Stallings presented the five-foot
high trophy to Beam midway
through a dance for the football
squad at the Ramada Inn.
The award, voted on by all
members of the varsity football
squad, is based on desire, dedi
cation, determination and atti
tude, both on the practice field
and in the battle arena and not
necessarily on ability.
Beam, a super-All-State stand
out at Odessa High, injured a
knee during his sophomore sea
son at Texas A&M and, subse
quently, underwent five oper
ations and had to lay out of
action one season.
“If Winston or I either one had
any sense, he would have given
up football,” Stallings said. “But,
football was important to him
and he competed while in great
pain.”
Beam said many times that if
it meant he could play football
he would go through five more
operations.
Beam thus joins these formtt
winners of the big, coveted tro.
