THE BATTALIOl
Aggie cagers hope to extend win streaks tomorrow
By JOHN CURYLO
Battalion Sports Editor
The Aggie basketball team of
Shelby Metcalf will be trying to
keep two win streaks alive Sat-
ui'day when they go to Fayette
ville for a televised game with
the Arkansas Razorbacks.
A&M currently owns a five-
game win streak and a 1-0 con
ference slate in its 8-5 season
record. I n addition to these
marks, the Aggies have beaten
the Razorback cagers the last
seven times out. The last Ar
kansas victory was a 75-70 win
at Fayetteville in 1968.
The game, which begins at 2
p.m., matches one team that has
a 3-10 record against the Aggies,
who were picked to finish last in
the conference. These facts are
deceiving, though, because Ar
kansas has impressive talent, and
the Aggies have been playing
better than predicted.
Although the Razorbacks are
3-10, the difference is their point
production and that of their op
ponents is only 1.7 per game.
They lost their first conference
game last week in Ft. Worth to
defending champion Texas Chris
tian, 95-77.
Metcalf’s same five will start
the contest. This includes 6-2
guard Mario Brown (12.1 points
per game), 6-4 guard Bobby
Threadgill (7.1), 6-4 forward
Wayne Howard (12.8), 6-7 for
ward Jeff Overhouse (17.5) and
center Rick Duplantis (6.5). Top
reserves are 6-3 guard Bob Go-
bin (5.0) and 6-6 forward Randy
Knowles (10.5). Top re bounders
are Overhouse, 10.8, Knowles,
7.9, and Howard, 6.2.
Razorback Coach Lanny Van
Eman will probably start 6-4
Martin Terry (22.3), 6-6 Vernon
Murphy (12.0), 6-8 Gary Rymer
(15.1), 6-8 Dean Tolson (10.6)
and 6-9 Larry Box (3.9). 6-2
Joel Heider (3.0), 6-7 Dennis
White (8.6) and 6-7 Doug Camp
bell (4.9) will also see action.
“Arkansas has good talent,”
Metcalf said in sizing up the Ra
zorbacks. “They just haven’t put
it together. Let’s hope they wait
one more game before they do.
“A win in Fayetteville will help
us,” he continued. “It would
boost our attendance and make
our players more confident. I
like the idea of playing on tele
vision.”
Defense has been the Aggies’
strong suit. They have hit only
40.9% from the field, but the
opposition has scored over 75
points only five times in 13
games. Since the Lobo Invita
tional, A&M has allowed over 70
points in just one of the six
games, that being a 79-71 win
over Southern Methodist in the
conference opener last Saturday.
The Aggies have the rebound
ing edge, 54.1-47.4, having set a
school record in the Trinity game
with 74. Despite their size, the
Razorbacks have not dominated
the boards this season. They
have 47.3 caroms per game to
the opposition’s 49.3.
“I'm pleased with our perform
ance defensively and in rebound
ing,” Metcalf said. “The team is
giving us what they have, al
though they could improve. I
wish they’d almost get cocky.
“We really came around about
the time of the Astro-Bluebonnet
Classic,” he added. “We had our
best practices between then and
the Presidential Classic. I look
Allen’s trades give ’Skins
fewest choices in pro draft
NEW YORK (A*)—George Al
len, who wheeled and dealed his
Washington Redskins into cham
pionship contention this season,
also traded them into last place
in the National Football League
draft.
Allen revamped the ’Skins by
exchanging a raft of draft
choices for proven talent that
paid off with a 9-4-1 record, their
best since 1945, and a shot at the
Super Bowl before Washington
succumbed to San Francisco in
the playoffs’ first round.
But his philosophy—“the fu
ture is now”—has also left them
with only 10 selections in the 17-
round draft or college seniors
which begins Feb. 1, the NFL
said Wednesday.
On the other end of the scale
is New Orleans. The Saints, with
six extra picks accumulated in
trades — including the one that
sent quarterback Billy Kilmer to
the ‘Skins — have 23 choices,
tops among the 26 teams.
Eight other teams also have
extra picks — Oakland with 21,
Pittsburgh and St. Louis with 20
apiece, Baltimore with 19 and
San Diego, San Francisco, Dallas
and Cleveland with 18 each.
Buffalo, whose dismal 1-13
record, worst in the league, gave
it the dubious honor of selecting
first, has 17 choices, as do Chi
cago, Philadelphia and Miami.
Lee Trevino expresses his happiness
at winning AP Athlete of the Year award
TUCSON, Ariz. <A’>—“Oh, man!
So many good things have been
happening to me that I just can’t
believe it!”
Lee Trevino, the merry Mexi
can from a poverty background,
who added a dash of fresh color
and a new dimension to pro golf,
was talking about his selection
as The Associated Press Athlete
of the Year for 1971.
The 32-year-old Trevino, who
made that lightning, unprece
dented sweep of the American,
Canadian and British Open titles,
was named Wednesday in a na
tionwide poll of sports writers
and sportscasters.
He amassed 118 votes to win
by a wide margin over baseball’s
Joe Torre of the St. Louis Cardi
nals and Roberto Clemente of
the world champion Pittsburgh
Pirates, who got 31 votes apiece,

“You’ve got to be thrilled any
time something like this happens
to you, particularly when it
comes from an outfit like this,
where so many people all over
the country are voting for you,”
Trevino said before today’s first

Baylor’s Teaff
after proven talent
WACO, Tex. (A 1 )—Baylor’s new
head Coach Grant Teaff is going
after junior college graduates
hot and heavy in an attempt to
beef up next year’s varsity foot
ball squad.
Teaff said Thursday that de
fensive safety Don Drake of
Ranger Junior College and wide
receiver Charles Dancer of Na
varro Junior College have en
rolled at Baylor.
Drake, of Idalou, was a Junior
college All American. Dancer, a
Mexia native, was an all-Texas
Conference split receiver with
4.4 speed in the 40 yard dash.
Both will participate in spring
training.

And it has a silver bell on the steeple and a cross on
top. No one suggested to Bobby that he use his birthday
toy this way. He did it himself.
He could have made a ferris wheel, or a barn, or a
wagon. But, as it happens, he made a church. Maybe it
is because, since he was a tot, the Church has been so
important in his life.
To Bobby the Church represents a warmth and love
that made him want to “build one of his own.”
Does your child feel that way ?
