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.”

Texas A&M’s Fish host the
Baylor Cubs here Saturday in a
5:45 p.m. contest. 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 Aggies travel to Houston

FAftAWAY
The snow is just the way it should be
— and the sky’s so blue, it’s unbelievable.
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? Certainly the
best way to begin doing your
part is to cover that short dis
tance to church next Sunday.
