Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, February 11, 1972 THE BATTAUG - ' Aggies challenge Mustangs in crucial SWC con te l By JOHN CURYLO Battalion Sports Editor In what could be labeled as the deciding game in the Southwest Conference, the Aggies travel to Dallas Saturday for a crucial cage contest. At 5-2, A&M needs a win to stay in contention for the title. Southern Methodist is 6-1, lead ing the pack, but the Mustangs cannot afford to be shot from the top with six games left after this. “We’re looking forward to go ing to Dallas,” A&M Coach Shel by Metcalf said. “You like to see a full field house, regardless of whether it is at home or on the road. There’ll be a lot of Ag gies there, just like at Rice and Texas. That’s always nice.” A&M and SMU are followed in the standings by the 4-3 tri umvirate of Texas, Texas Tech and Texas Christian. A loss for the Ponies would close the gap, giving any of the top five a shot at the crown. “Everybody in the conference is pulling for the Aggies,” Met calf said. “That’s an unusual situation, to say the least. But, the minute the game’s over, we’ll be ‘those damn Aggies’ again.” In the first meeting of the two schools this SMU, 79-71, season, A&M beat in G. Rollie White Coliseum, the Ponies’ only league loss. The Aggies outrebounded SMU, 66-40, and had the better shooting percentage, 40.3 to the Mustangs’ 37.8. “The big thing they’ve got go ing for them is confidence and the momentum of winning six in a row,” Metcalf explained. SMU has won all four of its confer ence home games—TCU, Arkan sas, Texas and Baylor—and two road games, Rice and Tech. Shooting was the only Aggie downfall in Austin Tuesday, as the Longhorns took an 80-71 de- A&M track team entered in Houston meet; nationally prominent athletes to participate By BILL HENRY Assistant Sports Editor Coach Charlie Thomas will take 18 tracksters to Houston Saturday to compete in the fourth annual Astrodome-United States Track and Field Federa tion indoor track meet.

Had A&M been able to score more points, Saturday’s game would have been a duel for undisputed first place. The game, however, is not lacking for im portance. “Regardless of what would have happened in Austin, we’d still need to beat SMU Saturday to be a contender,” Metcalf said. “All the Texas loss did was bunch up the first division and make a tight race for the second, third and fourth spots.” In the first A&M-SMU game this year, Mario Brown led the Aggies with 17 points. Jeff Over- house was next with 15, followed by Randy Knowles, 14, Rick Du- plantis, 12, Bobby Threadgill, 11, Wayne Howard, 6, Brad Pau ley, 2, and Bob Gobin and Char lie Jenkins, 1 each. Metcalf’s starters will be point man Brown, wings Howard and Threadgill and post men Over house and Duplantis. Knowles, Gobin, Pauley and Bobby McKey will be the main substitutes. SMU’s top man in the initial meeting was Larry Delzell with 17. Ruben Triplett had 16, fol lowed by Bobby Rollings, 12, Da vid Miller and Zack Thiel, 9 each, Clayton Korver, 7, and Jack Trout, 1. Coach Bob Prewitt will start Thiel, Delzell, Rollings, Triplett and Miller. Their bench men include Korver, Trout, Rich Billik and John Tuxzynski. Defensive assignments include Brown on Thiel, Threadgill cov ering Delzell, Howard on Roll ings, Overhouse on Triplett and Duplantis on Miller. “They use Korver to pick the team up,” Metcalf said of the 6-8, 235 pounder. “We’ll prob ably let Pauley take care of him. Coach Prewitt gets a lot of mile age out of his players.” Other conference games are Texas at Rice (televised), Tech at Baylor and TCU at Arta Tuesday’s action finds the] gies hosting Arkansas, Baylor is at Texas, Rice i Tech, and SMU and TCU si^ off in Ft. Worth. The Aggie Fish and the :| Colts meet in a preliminary^ at 5:45. Tip off of the clash is set at 8:00. Jo\. Fish meet Colts in Dallas A&M’s Fish return to the hard wood Saturday night in Dallas to take on the SMU Colts in a preliminary match to the varsity contest at 5:46 p.m. This is the beginning of the second round in SWC action and the Fish still stand in at first place with a 4-1 loop record. The only loss came last Tuesday night in Austin against the Tex as Yearlings, 69-59. In the first meeting between these two clubs, Texas A&M overwhelmed the Colts, 100-82, here in the second game of the season. Mike Floyd hit his ca reer high of 31 points in a very physical contest. Cedric Joseph had a big night by grabbing his season’s high of 26 rebounds. The Fish also committed 28 per sonal fouls. Since that time, the Fish have lost but two games while winning seven. Cedric Joseph, who had a tough time against the tough, aggres sive Yearling quintet having ll turnovers, will have to battle a good inside man for his share of rebounds in Dallas. SMU, more than likely, will sag back into the middle to protect against Jo seph’s command of the back board like Texas did. In the first contest, SMU’s big man got into foul trouble early and coal;] contest Joseph on the boani The remainder of the line-up will consist of Webbi liams, who is hitting at a! point per game average, is; among the team in both sctJ and rebounding with 7.5 per contest. Dale (12.0) and Isdell Birnbaun; li] will be at the two guard j tions unless Floyd is ready, !| side, helping control the is Jerry Mercer (9.0) who is^ ond in team rebounding ui| 12.2 per game norm. The next freshman will be in Daniel-Meyer I against the TCU Wogs.

Friday I Corinthians 2:7-16 Because baby does learn by association, it is im portant that parents expand their children’s horizons. A very small child will respond to a simple prayer.
