Rollie White Coliseum. Metcalf feels his team could be one of the best to play here. His high hopes are based on the re turn of the top three scorers and top two rebounders from last year’s 16-10 club that missed tak ing the Southwest Conference crown by one game. He also has two good junior college transfers and a talented group of sophomores back from last year’s conference champion ship freshman team. Leading the way are a pair of seniors that kept the fans buzz ing last season. Jeff Overhouse, 6-7, was the team’s leading scorer with 17.2 points per game and leading re bounder with 10 per contest. He should rank among A&M’s all- time greats in these two cate gories when this season is over. This year’s co-captain Mario Brown, 6-3, made an amazing ad justment last season from junior college to SWC basketball and led the Aggies in conference scoring with 16.9 points per game and assists with 115. Another returning starter for Metcalf this season will be 6-6 junior Randy Knowles. His rapid improvement and aggressive play last year was a large factor in A&M’s being in contention for the league championship. Despite not breaking into the starting lineup into the 20th game, Knowles finished third in confer ence scoring with a 10.5 average and led the team in conference rebounding with 147. Starting at the low post will be sophomore Jerry Mercer, 6-9, who just broke into Metcalf’s starting lineup. He had been scheduled to be red-shirted this year, but his fanatical play underneath the bucket has enabled him to earn a starting berth. On the wing opposite Knowles will be JC transfer Chuck Tone, 6-7, from Fort Dodge, Iowa. His exceptional shooting ability has given the Aggies a lethal weapon of which to attack a zone defense which has hurt them in the past. A&M will have good reserve strength at all positions with such stellar performers as co captain Bob Gobin, Wayne How ard, JC transfer C. W. Guthrie and sophomores Mike Floyd, Ced ric Joseph and Webb Williams “I feel better at the start of this season than I have in a long while,” Metcalf said. “We are farther along in workouts and have a lot more experience to work with.” “We shouldn’t have any glar ing weakness. We have adequate size, speed and shooting ability. We’ll go back to our multiple de fense after playing mostly man- to-man last season.” serve seats can be purekij $2 at the door for all hn tests.

Ca By BILL HENRY It began as a comedy of errors with five fumbles in the first 13 plays, but when the final gun sounded, the only laughter heard was from the Texas dressing room. A national television audience and a paying crowd of 68,000 suf fered through a terhibly dismal Thanksgiving evening of cold, rain and three quarters of boring football as Texas finished its fifth straight conference winning sea son unblemished, 38-3. For the Texas Aggies, it was “thank goodness this season is over.” A&M finished 3-8 on the year and sewed up at least a tie for the conference cellar with a 2-5 mark. For one quarter of Thursday’s game, A&M did an outstanding job holding the Longhorns to but 14 yards total offense while pick ing up 82 of their own and five first downs. The punch line to this situation is that A&M’s of fense could not score. Early in the second quarter, Pat McDermott finally put three points on the board, but against a team with the power, poise, de termination and winning tradition of Texas, three points weren’t go ing to win the game. It takes a Man to meet a Challenge. After Texas woke up from its first period doldrums, it scored two second period touchdowns on drives of 69 and 82 yards. From that point on, A&M never had a chance to catch up. No matter how well the defense played the Aggie offense did not have the explosiveness needed to score. During that dismally bleak third quarter, the football never went past A&M’s 47-yard line. With great field position, Texas hammered home 10 points on a touchdown drive of 47 yards and a field goal, following a drive initiated at the A&M 29. With the score at 24-3, the tem perature dropped to 39 degrees and the people who remained had to be crazy, frozen or sadistic as the fourth quarter produced an other 14 Longhorn points and the Aggies tried to run out the clock.
