Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, January 28, 1972 THE BAR A&M, Baylor Bears matched in conference basketball duel By JOHN CURYLO The Texas Aggies and the Baylor Bears get after it for the 120th time Saturday night in G. Rollie White Coliseum, and as has been the case in recent years, the battle shapes up as physical ly tough and important. Coach Shelby Metcalf’s Aggies are 9-6 this season, with a South west Conference record of 2-1. The Bears from Waco, coached by Bill Menefee, have posted 11-4 and 1-2 marks thus far. “We know now we can play some good basketball,” Metcalf said. “We need some nice things to happen to us. Saturday is crucial. I think Baylor has a fine team. If we could get enough going to carry us through the Rice game Tuesday, then we’ll be ready by the time Tech comes to town.” Texas Tech presently leads the conference with a 3-0 record. Baylor lost to the Red Raiders in Lubbock, 73-67. This week, Tech is at home against South ern Methodist. Arkansas visits Texas, while Rice is at Texas Christian in the week’s televised game. Metcalf’s regular starters will be at it again. This unit includes 6-2 guard Mario Brown (12.4), 6-4 guard Bobby Threadgill (7.9), 6-4 forward Wayne How ard (13.5), 6-7 forward Jeff Overhouse (17.7) and center Rick Duplantis (6.8). A)so ex pected to see action are 6-1 guard Charlie Jenkins (2.7), 6-6 forward Randy Knowles (10.3) and 6-3 guard Bob Gobin (4.5). “I look for Jeff to stabilize now,” the coach said. “He’s been getting into trouble with fouls early the last couple of times out. He’ll get over that, though, because he doesn’t like to sit on the bench. “Charlie’s doing much better, too,” Metcalf continued. “He really picked us up in the first half. And Randy has a lot of ability. But even greater than his ability is the importance he puts on basketball. He’s going to be a winner.” Aggie Fish host Baylor Cubs in prelim before varsity contest here tomorrow State Farm is still paying big car insurance dividends to eligible Texas policy holders on expiring six-month policies.

The Cubs stand at 1-4 overall and 0-1 in conference play. The Fish hold a 5-2 mark for the season and 2-0 in conference. Baylor’s only victory came at the expense of Henderson County Junior College, 81-76. The losses were against Hill JC, 81-79, Mc Lennan JC, 75-66, San Antonio College, 101-86 and Texas, 80-69. A&M has defeated San Antonio, Blinn JC, Wharton JC, SMU and TCU. Losses have been against Hill and San Antonio. A&M will start a front line consisting of Isdell Birnbaum (5.8), Dale Donaldson (12.1), Webb Williams (13.6), Jerry Mercer (8.8) and Cedric Joseph (22.6). Baylor’s starters include: Gary Trentham, 6-2, 165 from Houston Westchester; Tom Wil kins, 6-2, 185 from Grayslake, 111.; James Weaver, 6-5, 180 from Waco Richfield; Ted Cantrell, 6-3, 180 from McKinney and Charlie Bassett, 6-6, 180 from Plainview. The Cubs are coached by the ex-Baylor great, Larry Gate- wood. dous hot-hand A&M has had the past few weeks. The Fish are hitting at a .452 clip as a team on 235 of 520 attempts from the floor. The opposition has been able to hit but 188 of 492 for 38%. “I look for Baylor to be much tougher than TCU was last Tuesday night,” stated Coach Jim Culpepper. “Baylor is real well coached and stress their freshman program a lot more than does TCU.” To win the contest, Baylor will have to swarm the backboards for rebounds. No team has out- rebounded the Fish this season, and that is where the strength lies. The Aggies hold a 424-300 margin in that department. An other obstacle the Cubs will have to overcome will be the tremen- Ag swim team takes decisive win over Houston Cougar tankers Coach Dennis Fosdick’s Aggie swim team whipped the Univer sity of Houston, 78-35, in a dual meet Wednesday night and now prepares for weekend action in the Ozarks. The Aggies will take on Hen drix College in Conway, Ark., Friday and will tackle the tough Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayette ville Saturday. Fosdick used a squad of re serves in beating Houston. The Aggies won 10 of 23 events. The only double winner in the meet was A&M’s Gregg Smith, who won the 200-yard individual med ley and the 200-yard backstroke.

Next action for A&M will be in Houston against Rice next Tuesday at 5:45 p.m. Starters for the Bears will be 6-2 guard Roy Thomas (15.5), 6-0 guard Tom Stanton (12.5), 6-4 forward Steve Baldwin (4.4), 6-7 forward Pat Fees (10.5) and 6-6 center Adam West (11.0). Top subs are 6-1 guard Stanley Johnson, 6-3 forward Chester Green and 6-7 center Lee Grif fin. Like TCU and A&M, Baylor plays aggressive defense and an offense that is faster than the disciplined style. “Baylor has all the ingredients for a good ball club,” Metcalf said. “They have an aggressive, pressing defense. They go into a zone press after free throws and a man-to-man press after field goals. “We’re still not as mentally tough as I’d like us to be,” he continued. “This contributes to the inconsistencies. We need to earn momentum by winning a few. We can do it if we play like we did the first 17 or 18 min utes of the second half Tuesday.” A&M leads Baylor in the series, 71-48. The Bears, however, have won the last four in a row. The last Aggie win was in 1969, 86- 74. This was the now-famous game in which a fight occurred during the second half. Both schools were in the thick of the title chase, and the Aggies went on to win the crown. The follow ing year, Baylor knocked off A&M late in the season, elimi nating them from repeating as champions. The Aggies are 6-1 at home and 3-5 on the road, while Bay lor is 3-2 at home and 8-2 on the road. Prior to the 8:00 p.m. varsity clash, the Fish meet the Baylor Cubs in a 5:45 preliminary game.

The air is fresh and clean and it’s hard to realize that pollution exists. All the world’s problems seem far away. But for this young man there will be a tomorrow and a next tomorrow. Circum stances won’t be the same. Perhaps John is a little more aware than most of us of the ills that beset this world — for he is a theological stu dent. He is determined to make things better. And he is equipped with enthusiasm, understanding, a keen mind and a deep faith. How about you — and your tomorrows?
