Cedric Joseph hit only 16 points
and grabbed 15 rebounds to take
runner-up honors in that depart

The game was never in doubt
after Wharton scored the open

The second half added fire to
the Aggies’ furnace until they
built up a 30 point lead, 87-57,
with 11 minutes gone in the final
stanza. With 2:08 remaining in
the contest, A&M built up its
largest margin, 34 points, 107-73.
The tremendous height advan

ble for the Pioneers as only Ike
Sojourner, 6-6, could vie with
the talented Fish near the bas
ket.
To make matters even worse
for Wharton, Arthur Chappell
dropped two points in the A&M
bucket while being harassed by
the Fish press.
High point man for Wharton
was Sojourner with 22, followed
by Ken Foots with 21. The only
other double figure scorer for
the Pioneers was Butch Grant
with 15. Sojourner led the team
in rebounds with 15.

ARLINGTON, Tex. (A*)—Ted
Williams, saying “I look like a
U lexas Ranger only from the neck
I hi sp," made his first appearance
in North Texas Tuesday as man
ager of the transferred Ameri-
tan League club and promised
no miracle pennant—just hustle.
Williams was introduced by
Arlington Mayor Tommy Van-
dergriff who said “If anybody
ever looked like a Texas Ranger,
Ted looks the part.”
The Thumper replied “Not
from the neck down . . . I’m out
of shape.”

Williams, his shirt character
istically open at the collar, said
he was “enthusiastic” about
coming to Dallas-Fort Worth
with the former Washington
Senators.
“Enthusiasm has made it pos
sible for some clubs to improve
to the point where they even
tually became pennant winners,”
Williams said. “I can guarantee
you one thing as manager of the
Rangers—you can bet our club
will be a hustling club. Never
once in Washington could the
writers say our club didn’t
hustle.”
Williams said the young Tex
as Ranger club will “work hard
er and longer on fundamentals”
Trevino named as
year’s sportsman
NEW YORK (A»)—Golfer Lee
Trevino has been named Sports
man of the Year by Sports Il
lustrated magazine.
The magazine announced Tues
day that its editors had voted
the colorful Mexican - American
the honor over such athletes as
heavyweight champion Joe Fraz
ier and major league baseball
stars Vida Blue and Roberto Cle
mente.
Trevino won six tournaments,
including the U.S., British and
Canadian opens, and finished
second on the golf tour’s money
list.
than any other team he has
managed.
“We hope to make a few more
trades,” he said. “We are always
looking for pitching.”
He said he hadn’t heard wheth
er slugger Frank Howard in
tended to return.
“Frank realizes he is getting
older and heavier,” Williams
said. “If he could play with less
weight than he had last year, he
could have a good season.”
Williams said losing seasons
in his three years as manager
made it hard for him to decide
how much longer he wanted to
stay around as a major league
pilot.
“It’s fun to manage when you
are winning, but hard to be on
the losing side,” he said. “But
if I didn’t think I was getting to
be a better manager I would go
back to fishing. I never had to
worry about cut off plays as an
outfielder. There is also a trick
in knowing whether a player has
a future.”
But Williams said realistical
ly, “I hope we can just play .500
or better ball in 1972.”
He met Penn State Coach Joe
Paterno in town on a pre-Cotton
Bowl trip and told him “I’m en
vious of you, coach. You win all
the time. What’s your secret?
Should I buy a copy of your
book?”
“Take a copy of the book and
trade for Richie Allen and you’ll
be all right,” Paterno replied.
