THE BATTALION
‘Hottest Team 79 Here Saturday Night!
Aggies In Must Game Against Bears
By BILL HENRY
Battalion Sports Editor
Upstart Baylor, hottest team
in the Southwest Conference, will
try and keep its title hopes alive
Saturday night when the Bears
invade G. Rollie White against
the slumbering giant Aggies.
Picked near the bottom in pre
season rankings, Baylor’s Bears
have picked up great momentum
holding the nation’s 11th ranked
Houston Cougars at bay through
out their contest before falling
in the final minutes, 86-82, and
defeating preseason conference
favorite, Texas, 85-79, last Satur
day.
The Aggies, also a preseason
favorite, lost to Houston, 114-85,
in the finals of the Cougars’ own
Bluebonnet Classic and fell to Ar
kansas, 84-73, in the first league
tilt.
“Baylor has momentum and
it’ll come in here ready to play
ball,” coach Shelby Metcalf said.
“Bill Menefee (Baylor coach) has
done an outstanding job with his
team this year and we’ll have to
play well to win the game.”
Baylor was picked low by pre
season prognosticators because
last year’s team was totally wiped
out by graduation, making all five
starters inexperienced in loop
action.
Baylor now starts three JC
transfers and its sixth and sev
enth players off last year’s team.
Charlie McKinney and Jerry
Ahart are both All-Americans
from Tyler and Steve Dallas is
from Long Beach, Calif. Other
two starters are Lee Griffin and
Knot Johnson.
“We’ve got a good combination
going now and our players have
a better understanding of me and
each other at this time,” Menefee
said after the Bears’ 12th contest
which has left them at 7-5.
“Our front line of McKinney,
Ahai-t and Griffin has done most
of the scoring but the value of
our guards, Johnson and Dallas,
is untold in their defense and
playmaking.”
Baylor, down 18-4 early in its
game against Texas, now has the
mental attitude that could take
it all the way, as did coach John
ny Swaim’s 1971 team that pos-
AGGIE RESERVES WEBB WILLIAMS AND CHUCK TONE did the job in Wednes
day’s 96-77 win over run-and-shoot Texas Luthern Bulldogs. Tone (45), scoring in both
shots, hit for 20 points to lead the team. Williams (41) hit for 16 points. These two are
scheduled to see more action in Saturday night’s SWC showdown with Baylor. (Picture

Red Sox Keeping Pace By
Signing Cepada To Pinch-Hit
BOSTON UP)—The Boston Red
Sox, a prime opponent of the
American League’s newly adopted
designated pinch-hitter rule, made
a move to capitalize on the revo
lutionary change Thursday by
signing veteran slugger Orlando
Cepeda as a free agent.
The Red Sox said the 35-year-
old Cepeda would be given a shot
at winning the regular first base
job, but it appeared obvious the
club was more intent on keeping
pace with AL rivals, such as De
troit, with aging personnel made
to order for the new rule.
Cepeda, a star for 13 National
League seasons with the San
Francisco Giants, St. Louis Car
dinals and the Atlanta Braves,
was acquired by the Oakland
Athletics in a deal for contro
versial pitcher Denny McLain
last summer.
He went to bat only three times
for the A’s before undergoing
left knee surgery. He was re
leased by the World Series cham
pions last fall, and his career
appeared in jeopardy until the
American League adopted the so-
called DPH rule last week.
The Red Sox, who had balked
at trying to get Cepeda when
he was available in 1972 because
of his knee problem, went after
him as soon as the rule was adopt
ed in major league baseball’s first
startling change in 50 years.
Aggie Tankers
Begin Season
Glover Wins Lombardi Rock
By MICHAEL A. LUTZ
Associated Press Sports Writer
HOUSTON (A>)_Nebraska All-
American middle guard Rich
Glover, a bridesmaid here last
year, was named Thursday night
as winner of the third annual
Vince Lombardi award as the out
standing collegiate lineman in the
nation.
Glover, also a finalist last year,
won the honor over three other
candidates for the impressive 45-
pound granite trophy, named in
honor of the former Green Bay
and Washington coach, who died
of cancer in 1970.
California Gov. Ronald Reagan,
the featured speaker, presented
the award at a $100-per-plate
dinner. Proceeds go to the Ameri
can Cancer Society, which has
received more than $55,000 from
the two previous dinners.
Runners-up were Tom Braha-
ney of Oklahoma, John Hannah of
Alabama and Jerry Sizemore of
Texas. All were present for the
dinner, attended by an estimated
750 persons.

A&M’s swim team starts a busy
weekend when they host the
Texas Longhorns today at 3 p.m.
in P. L. Downs Natatorium.
Bob Rachner, the nation’s No. 1
breaststroker, leads the ’Horns
into their first appearance at
A&M in three years.
Saturday’s action finds coach
Dennis Fosdick’s team in Lub
bock for a double-duel meet with
Texas Tech and Air Force.
This is the first action of the
year for the Aggies who are still
in the training stages of the sea
son.
Fosdick is counting the days
until the conference which will be
held at TCU on the first weekend
of March. “I don’t expect any
great time this weekend,” said
Fosdick, “we are just getting
ready for the conference meet.”

sessed a totally new starting line
up as the year before.
“We played our greatest game
of the year,” Menefee said. “We
hit 61 percent of our shots and
had the fewest turnovers of any
game so far. It was a big win for
us and I think if we continue to
play well, we could be very com
petitive in the race.”
Menefee concludes his basket
ball coaching career after this
season.
A&M wasn’t as fortunate nor
its coach as pleased after its 84-
73 setback in the Ozarks. Metcalf
was at Baylor’s Rena Marrs Coli
seum to scout Baylor following
A&M’s game.
“I just thought we played bad
until I got down here,” Metcalf
said after Baylor’s game. “We
just stood, around compared to
the way Baylor is hustling out
there. They’re a bunch of real go-
getters.”
Metcalf was very high on the
Bears’ personnel.
“Ahart is the best trueshooter
in the conference,” he said after
the Bears’ ace hit on 11 of 14 shots
from the field as he hit over his
17.6 season’s average.
“McKinney is the hardest work
ing post man I’ve seen in the con
ference and Dallas hustles the
whole game, never stopping. The
whole team works hard.”
Metcalf had a sigh of relief
Wednesday night when his Aggies
finally put its game back together
in the second half against Texas
Lutheran College in the 96-77
non-conference win.
“I felt the first half (which was
dismal to say the least) was just
a carry-over from our past two
games,” he said. “The second half
we got after it and played like
we’re capable even though it was
reserves Webb Williams and
Chuck Tone applying the most
pressure.
“We have a job to do here Sat
urday night and to be a contender
like we’re picked to be, we’ve got
to meet the challenge. Baylor will
want to win badly and so must we
or it’s all over for us.”
The starting lineup may be jug
gled again after the play of Met
calf’s reserves.

Grandpa fumed when I took this picture. “It won't look natural," he said. “My desk is
never clean."
It's clean now. The umbrella stand is empty, the hat rack bare. His old Web press has
been retired. But Grandpa's presence lingers on.
For over fifty years he printed the Mayfield Progress, reporting the news with integrity.
There were times when he was threatened, cajoled by attempted bribery, menaced by pres
sure groups, but he stayed true to principle. He was a giant in our town.
What made Grandpa strong in the face of danger — incorrupt when confronted by un
scrupulous forces?
His church was the center and circumference of his being. Its truths and its goodness
sustained him. It was all that he needed — he remained steadfast and sure.
Your church is eager to help you meet the pressures of your day. Its resources are un
limited and eternal. Go to church, and take your family with you.
