Holy Eucharist and Supper EPISCOPAL STUDENT CENTER 904 - 906 Jersey Street (Southern Boundary of Campus) 846-1726 throws for 35 points as Tolson hit nine of 18 field goals and four of ten gratis pitches for 22 points and led both teams in rebounding with 16. For the Aggies, it was 30 per sonal fouls along with 19 turn overs that gave A&M its first con ference setback and dropped the season’s record to 7-5. Arkansas is now 8-5. The game was lost at the free throw line for A&M, something that hasn’t happened all season. The Aggies led the conference in free throw shooting with a 73 per cent mark but hit only 11 of 21 from the charity stripe Sat urday. The Razorbacks hit on 22 of 37 attempts. A&M, which has averaged 44 percent from the field all year, hit for only 41 percent on 31 of 75 attempts. Arkansas hit on 31 or 67 for 47 percent. From the outset, Arkansas clearly outclassed and outplayed hapless A&M gaining as much as a 10 point lead, 30-20, in that first stanza. Late in the half, however, A&M caught fire and came within two, 38-36, at half- time^ A&M’s catching up was due to six straight Mike Floyd points and good under-the-basket-work of Cedric Joseph. After the half, A&M fell back into its early first half slump as the Razorbacks built up 17 point leads twice and coasted in for the 11 point de cision. Besides breaking up A&M’s SWC opening victory party, the game broke Floyd’s perfect free throw mark at 30 and breaking A&M’s perfect record at the char ity stripe at 28 consecutive free throws. Leading scorer for A&M was Randy Knowles with 14, Jeff Overhouse had 13, while Mario Brown and Joseph had 12 each. Floyd finished the game with nine points. Bob Gobin, A&M’s other start er, garnered only two points and is expected to be replaced by Floyd in A&M’s next encounter Wednesday night against Texas Lutheran College. Coach Shelby Metcalf will be giving up Gobin’s tremendous de fensive prowess for Floyd’s better scoring ability. Texas Lutheran College, while being quite small as college bas ketball teams go with the tallest starter being 6-5, will bring 10-5 mark to G. Rollie White. Wednesday night’s game will be the first home tilt for A&M in the past seven games and will be the first of three at home for the Aggies. SWC action will begin again Saturday with the Baylor Bears coming to town for a 7:30 con test and the Texas Longhorns here the following Tuesday night. One week from Saturday, A&M will travel to Houston for an 8 p.m. contest against Rice.

Stars Sign With Aggies TWS Announces Expanded Prograi Vol, A couple of outstanding defen sive backs from Navarro Junior College in Corsicana have signed football scholarships and have enrolled for the spring semester at Texas A&M University. They are Tim Gray, all-Ameri ca cornerback from Houston and James Daniels, all-conference safety from McGregor. Gray, 6-1 and 195, played cor nerback two years for Coach Donnie Duncan at Navarro JC. Duncan said, “Tim is one of the best football players I’ve ever coached. He definitely is one of the best prospects in the junior c e Students who want to add long distance calling privileges to their room telephone should sign up at our desk in the Lobby of the Memorial Student Center, Wednesday, January 17 through Friday, January 19 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. college ranks this year. He has everything, 4.6 speed for 40 yards, good size, strength, quick ness and has an excellent atti tude.” Daniels, 6-3 and 185, was a running back his freshman year and moved to strong safety this past fall. He, too, has 4.6 speed for the 40. Duncan said, “James is an outstanding athlete. He ad justed to defense very smoothly. He learns rapidly and retains all he learns. In high school he scored 38 touchdowns as a run ning back. I would recommend both Gray and Daniels for major college football without any res ervations.” In high school at Houston Kashmere, Gray was all-district and all-city as a defensive back. Daniels, at McGregor High, was captain three years, all-district running back three years, made the Super CenTex team and played in the Greenbelt Bowl. Aggie Coach Emery Bellard said, “Gray and Daniels are the type of quality young men who’ll be valuable assets to our team. Ed Hamblen, executive direc tor of the Texas World Speed way announced that an expanded racing program for 1973 will kick-off with the April 7th run ning of the USAC Twin 200’s. The doubleheader which will be US AC’s first appearance at the mammouth Texas facility fea tures two 200-mile events over the high banked oval for both the championship (Indianapolis-type) cars and the stockers. Many drivers in the two divisions will see double duty during the busy Saturday afternoon, challenging the ultra-fast track in both races. Some of the top names w r ho compete on the rich USAC Cham pionship trail, including the pres- tigous Indianapolis 500 are three time Indy winner, A. J. Foyt, Lloyd Ruby, Johnny Rutherford, Gordon Johncock, Mark Donohue, A1 and Bobby Unser. Among the leading contenders in the USAC stock car ranks are Don White, Butch Hartman, Ramo Stott and Sal Tovella. The two classic events are ex pected to produce record speeds with the Indianapolis cars most likely exceeding the 200 mph mark. The Twin 200’s opens the sea son for the stock division and will be the second stop on the cal endar for the Championship cars creating a battle among drivers trying to get an early ]eadin| point standings.
