Arkansas’ talented duo of Mar
tin Terry and Dean Tolson com
bined with inept Aggie play en

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.

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

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.
