THE BAH
Victory over Rice can move Ags toward league
By JOHN CURYLO
Battalion Sports Editor
The Texas Aggies can move a
step closer to the Southwest
Conference championship here
Saturday when they host the
Rice Owls in a televised battle at
1:00 p.m.
Now 8-3 for conference play,
A&M is tied for the league lead
with the Southern Methodist
Mustangs. SMU is at Texas for
a 3:00 duel, which will also be on
television.
The Aggies go against a team
that is 5-18 for the season and
0-11 for conference play. A&M
won the first meeting between
the two schools, 80-70, in Hous
ton. Mario Brown was the lead
ing scorer with 23.
“Rice has the best last place
team I’ve ever seen in the South
west Conference,” A&M Coach
Shelby Metcalf said. “I still
think they won’t lose all their
games. I just hope it isn’t us
they knock off. Don (Knodel,
Rice head coach) does a good
job.
“Rice just got caught a little
short on speed,” he continued.
“Don has inspired his ball club
by adding Leroy Marion and Don
Snyder to the lineup.”
The Owls have led at the half
in their last four games and
were ahead of Texas Christian
by five Tuesday night with a
few minutes left to play. The
Frogs won, 73-68.
In the game with TCTJ, Rice’s
top three scorers—Mark Wehrle,
Steve Emshoff and Dan McGuire
— did not play. Wehrle is a 6-
10 Ms junior, Emshoff is a 6-9
junior and McGuire is a 5-11
senior.
.Knodel will start the 6-3 Sny
der and 6-4 Randy Reynolds at
Fish host Owlets in morning game
the guards. The forwards will
be Marion, 6-5, and John Kabbes,
6-7. Randy Youngling, 6-7, is
the starting center.
Metcalf will re-insert Wayne
Howard, a 6-4 wing man, into
the starting five. In addition to
Howard and Brown, a 6-2 point
man, the starters will be 6-4
wing Bobby Threadgill, 6-<6 post
Randy Knowles and 6-7 post Jeff
Overhouse.
“I want it understood that
Brad (Pauley) has been doing a
good job for us,” Metcalf said,
“but Wayne’s defense has really
improved the last couple of
games.”
don’t know how good they can
be.”
The last A&M-Rice contest was
marred by the obscenities of the
Owl student body. The atmos
phere and attitude detracted from
the game, and a sloppy exhibi
tion of basketball was the result.
“I look for a better played
game by both teams,” Metcalf
said. “I look for both coaches to
be very well behaved. Don might
stand up, but he’ll be lonely.”
The last reference was to the
criticism he has received for his
emotional protests in Tuesday
night’s game with Baylor in
Waco.

Texas A&M’s Fish will take on
the Rice Owlets in a 10:45 a.m.
contest in G. Rollie White Coli
seum Saturday. This will be the
second meeting of these two
clubs; A&M won the first match
in Houston, 92-88, in double over
time.
Rice will bring a 2-9 seasons
record into the game while A&M
stands in at 10-4 and a 6-2 SWC
mark. The Owlets gave A&M all
the Fish could handle in the first
meeting and will start the same
lineup consisting of Darryl
Hughes, Tim Moriarity, Mike
Clayburn, Pat Scott and Danny
Carroll. These five accounted for
75 of the 88 points scored.
Mike Floyd, A&M’s top scorer
and floor leader, is back on tar
get after almost a month’s lay
off due to a broken foot. In the
two games he has played since
returning, he has hit for 26 and
20 points against TCU and Bay
lor, respectively.
The physically-tough Fish are
heavily favored in Saturday’s
encounter. Rice will, like most
A&M opposition, be on the short
side and under-manned. The Fish
will have a decided advantage in
the rebounding and shooting
categories but have a tendency
to commit an overabundance of
mistakes. This is evident in com
mitting 291 turnovers to 219 for
the opposition.
Aggies, Rice in dual meet
Thirty-eight Aggie trackmen
go to Houston Saturday to com
pete in the first Southwest Con
ference dual meet of the sea-
Rice will play host and try to
repeat the feat it pulled off in
College Station in the SWC
meet last spring by beating the
Aggies. The Owls took the loop
crown last season by a one-half
point margin when Curtis Mills
pulled up lame in the 220-yd.
dash.
Rice has a decided advantage
in Saturday’s meet with such
stellar performers as NCAA
pole vault champion, Dave Rob
erts, who has already cleared
over 17 feet twice this season.
A&M will be strongest in the
running events with Rice being
almost unstopable in the field
events. The Aggies look strong
in the 100-yd. dash, 220-yd.
dash, 440-yd. run, 880-yd. run,
sprint relay and mile relay.
Rice should have no trouble
winning the shot put, discus,
javelin, long jump, high jump,
440-yd. hurdles and, of course,
the pole vault.
The Owls list such stellar
SWC individual winners compet
ing as Mike Cronholm, 440-yd.
hurdles; Jim Pearce, javelin; Ken
Stadel, discus; and Roberts.
Glen Ray, who now holds a new
school record in the high jump
with a 6-11, is also looked upon
with a favorable eye to take his
event.
The Aggies are tabbed for
third place in the SWC this sea
son but Coach Charlie Thomas
feels they will have to fight off
a good TCU team for that honor.
Iowa State is first foe
as baseball begins Tuesday
The A&M baseball team opens
the 1972 season Tuesday at Kyle
Field against Iowa State at 1:00
p.m. The Aggies are picked to
finish in a tie for second place
in the Southwest Conference.
A&M set a school record last
year with 31 wins, and they fin

race to Texas.

made All-America in 1956 and
Rolf Krueger, now with the St.
Louis Cardinals, made All-Ameri

Kent played both ways his
sophomore year for S. F. Austin

seasons. He was captain of the

The rest of the starting line
up will include Webb Williams,
who has been playing superb the
past few games; Jerry Mercer,
who grabbed 15 rebounds in the
Baylor contest; Dale Donaldson
with a 12.3 scoring average per
game; and Cedric Joseph, who
has been a mainstay all year.

ule Tuesday night against the

contest. Texas defeated the Fish

69.
Rice used a zone defense
against the Aggies in Houston.
Metcalf said that their repertoire
includes this 2-1-2 zone, a 1-3-1
zone and a box plus one.
The coach pointed out that this
A&M team, picked in a pre-sea
son poll to finish last, is one of
the favorite squads he has been
associated with. Their season
record is 15-8.
“It’s a real pleasure to work
with this bunch,” he explained,
“because it's a very unified
group with a positive outlook.
They haven’t peaked yet, so I
The Aggies have been sparked
by team effort and the lack of
glaring weaknesses in the start
ing five. Brown’s ball handling,
Threadgill’s defensive play and
rebounding support, Howard and
Knowles on the outside, com
bined with Overhouse’s inside
toughness, have put together a
winning unit.
Rebounding is the Aggies’ ace
in the hole, though. Despite hav
ing one of the shortest teams in
the league, A&M is nearing a
school rebound record. The Ag
gies need only 101 rebounds in
per game.

The adventure of Connie is a

human nature. We all conform to
something. And the seemingly
sharp differences apparent between
certain life-styles merely reflect the
contrasts and contradictions be

form.
