THE BATTA1I
Aggies Host Wayland Baptist
Basketball Season Begins Tonigh
By BILL HENRY
Coach Shelb^ Metcalf enters
his tenth season as head basket
ball coach here tonight when he
and his Aggies take on Wayland
Baptist College beginning at 7:30
p.m. in G. 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.”

Fans will be interested to know
that Metcalf will have his team
fast-breaking this season with the
abundance of speed and quickness
in this year’s group.

Robert Murski were named Mon
day to the Associated Press All-

A 32-
Gen. 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.
