Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, February 2, 1973 THE BAH/ 36 Football Recruits Introduced At Halftime TCU, Aggies Look For Magic Win Here Saturd By BILL HENRY Battalion Sports Editor Hoping to get things back to gether after two straight South west Conference losses, A&M basketballers face TCU Saturday in G. Rollie White beginning at 7:30. TCU, which did not return a single starter off last year’s 9-5 crown contending team, stands last this year with an 0-5 record. The Horned Frogs were picked last in the preseason poll of coaches and sports writers. A&M, expected to battle SMU for the crown this year, has fallen off championship pace with a lackluster 2-3 since losing two in a row. Both teams hope to get on the winning track as neither has giv en up hope for a winning season. “Our kids haven’t had a mental letdown since losing,” coach Shel by Metcalf said. “Things just haven’t gone our way lately but the season isn’t over for us yet.” Attendance figures will surely slump with the Aggies all but eliminated from the title chase but fans will be missing great action if Saturday’s game is for gotten. Along with a conference game, fans will be missing 32 prospec tive football players who will be introduced at halftime. Some of the greatest football talent around has been gathered for Saturday’s game by co&ch Emory Bellard and his staff. A packed house says a lot of things to athletes visiting schools which they are interested in attending. Bellard and the other coaches have been scouring the nation for football players and it will be interesting to see what they’ve found. The basketball game will in deed be an interesting and critical one for the Aggies. A win could gain enough momentum needed to top SMU in Dallas Tuesday— a win which could cause a big tumble in the standings for the favored Mustangs. TCU will start the tallest con ference player in 6-11 Bill Bozeat, a transfer from New York. As a freshman, he played for renowned basketball power, St. John’s, then transferred to Nassau Community College. He just became eligible in January and has been a shot in the arm to the previously short Frogs. Last Tuesday, TCU forced vola tile Baylor into overtime before succumbing, 82-76. Adams ‘Slickered’ Into Revelation HOUSTON (A*) — Houston Oil ers Owner K. S. “Bud” Adams says he was “slickered” into re vealing the name of Bubba Smith in a proposed Oiler-Baltimore Colt trade and he will apologize to Colt General Manager Joe Thomas. Adams said a newsman learned of the proposed deal when he wan dered through the office where the Oilers were drafting. “Later on when I walked through the press room, a re porter asked me ‘What about Bal timore’s offer to trade Bubba Smith.’ In all the turmoil of the draft, I wasn’t thinking straight and I answered before I thought. TCU won the conference two years ago and finished second in 1972 so coach Johnny Swaim isn’t used to a 2-14 record. “Yes, it’s hard to swallow,” he admitted. “But there has been such a great improvement over where we were at the first of the year. It’s obvious we aren’t going to win the title, but I feel we’ll win some games.” If the Aggies give up, Saturday night could be the Frogs’ first. “That journey should be quite an awakening for our younger players,” he says. “A&M is as tough a place to play as there is in the conference.” TCU is young, that’s for sure, starting one junior letterman, a JC transfer, a sophomore and two freshmen. Freshman Lynn Royal has been the biggest surprise for Swaim this campaign. He’s the brother of 1972 All-SWC post Evans Royal. Along with Tech’s Rick Bul lock and SMU’s Ira Terrell, Royal is rated among the best around. He leads the team scoring with a 15.8 norm while pulling down Vol. The Church..For a Fuller Life..For You..

Earlier, before the wind steadied it in its southerly direction, the eagle twirled, turning first one way, then the other. It reminded me of the way I some times feel. Caught in the persistent cry of changing values, confused by the onrush of progressive ideas, I twist and turn, trying to select the good and reject the bad. I’m glad for the steadying influ ence of my church. The principles it teaches never change. Honesty, in tegrity and a love of God are impor tant whatever the mores of society. Knowing this keeps me happy in a world of change and upheaval. Your church can do the same for you. Copyright 1970 Keister Advertising Service, In'c., Strasburg, Va.

TCU will start 5-10 letterman Herb Stephens (6.2), 6-1 sopho more Eddy Fitzhugh (6.1), 6-6 freshman Gary Landers (8.3), 6-8 Royal and Bozeat. Top reserve for the Frogs is 6-8 freshman Wayne Wayman who leads the team in rebounds with 7.8. guards, 6-8 sophomore Cedric Joseph (9.8 pts-10 reb) will be at center, 6-6 Randy Knowles (15.9 pts-8.5 reb) and 6-8 Jeff Overhouse (14.4 pts-8.4 reb) will be at forwards. The Aggies’ biggest problem since conference action started is the lack of consistent scoring.

The white team travels to San Antonio to play the always tough San Antonio Line. SA is con sidered one of the most physical teams in the union. Roger Boos, who coached the previous Aggie championship teams, has graduated and is be ing replaced by player-coaches Gene Anderson and Steve Stor- man. Both travel with the white squad. The Maroon team, under the direction of Rick Myers, will trav el to Austin to face Fort Worth as part of a triple-header rugby day in that city. Fort Worth is the newest entry into the rugby union and is composed of mostly young and inexperienced players. A&M’s first home action is Feb. 10 when they face the Austin Gold and Black teams.

Final Swim Meet Held Here Saturday By KEVIN COFFEY Assistant Sports Editor . A&M’s men’s swimming team makes its final home appearance of the season when they face Arkansas in P. L. Downs Nata- torium at 2 p.m. Saturday. While the men do battle with the Razorbacks, the women’s team travels to Fort Worth to partici pate in the Texas Invitational Meet. Arkansas beat the Aggies in the Ozarks last year and were favored to take the third spot in the SWC meet. A&M stiff led those hopes as they upset the Hogs to finish behind SMU and Texas. With last year in mind, coach Dennis Fosdick feels Arkansas will bring a revenge filled team to College Station. “Arkansas will really be up for us,” Fosdick said, “but we want to put on a good show for the home folks in our last meet here. We’ve been swimming well in practice all week.” “Doug Meaden, Casey Cutler, Jim Yates, Steve Moore, Larry Schuekler, Dan and Steve Son- nenberg have been having some of their best workouts and I think some of them may swim their personal best times,” Fosdick said. The coach hinted that per haps an A&M record could fall during the meet. “Our biggest problem is that Steve Prentice had a strength sapping bout with the flu last week and he may not be up to his best performances. He should be recovered by the conference meet in March,” Fosdick added. The women’s team, which placed fourth at the state meet last year with only six swimmers, will open its season Saturday. This is only the second year for women’s swimming at A&M. “We hope to find out where we are and where we’re going,” said Jean Collins, who serves as coach, manager “and head flunky.” “All the colleges and univer sities in the state got invited to this meet,” said Collins, “it should tell us a lot about our team.” This year’s squad has grown to over 20 swimmers, more than doubling last year’s participants. • y iciiau Douglas Jewel 212 N.
