Rollie White Coliseum on Thursday night. It features basketballs flitting all over the place and grinning faces—on the principals as well as patrons. Youngsters who watch TV car toons already know it’s the fabu lous, funny Harlem Globetrotters. Their TAMU Special Attrac tion game with the Boston Sham rocks will get going with the world-famous warmup circle at 8 p.m. The antics of Meadowlark Lemon, Curly Neal, Bobby Joe Mason, Bobby Hunter and Doug Himes, former Prairie View A&M star, among others will be joined by an all-star variety show. TAMU Special Attraction tick ets for the game, arranged through the Town Hall Commit tee of Texas A&M’s Memorial Student Center, are on sale at the Student Program Office in the MSC. Basketball fans of 89 countries and virtually every city in Amer ica have laughed with the Trot ters through one of their games. Coming into the 1973 season, the Trotters had played 11,053 times, entertaining more than 71 million people in 46 years. “Our attendance continues to increase as more and more people find out why the Trotters are the world’s most popular form of a family entertainment,” says Globetrotter President Stan Greeson. One reason for the popularity increase is the weekly cartoon series on CBS Television. The show is the top-rated children's program on the air and seen by viewers in more than 20 countries. Joining Meadowlark and Curly on the Globetrotters’ national unit lineup here will be Nate AGGIE WRESTLER MIKE TRAHAN maneuvers for position on Don Terrel of Easterfield College in recent meet. Trahan won the match 11-5. See story page 6. (Photo by Ray Shepherd) Branch, Joe Cunningham, Jackie Jackson, Walter Robertson and Frank Stephens. Skeptics who think its all fun and little basketball forget the Trotters’ 10,730-323 won-loss rec ord, and a game the Globetrotters played 25 years ago on Feb. 20. It answered the question, “How would the Trotters fare against top professionals? They played the mighty Minneapolis Lakers led by all-time great George Mikan. And won, 61-59, before 17,000 at Chicago Stadium. A rematch the following year produced the same results. Inman Jackson, an early player still with the organization as a con sulting coach, remembers the Trotters were more relaxed the second time. “The first game I think we outpsyched them,” says Jackson. “But the second time we just plain outplayed them.’’ Aggies Add 4, 32 Now Signed A&M’s football staff added four more names to its list of 1973 football signings yesterday. Billy Herrin, a 6-1, 220-pound defensive end from Baytown Sterling, and Del Leatherwood, a 6-2, 185-pound split end from Houston St. Thomas, agreed to attend A&M. Herrin was all-district and sec ond team all-state with 4.9 speed in the 40-yard dash. Leatherwood was named to the Catholic all- state and all-America teams. Leatherwood is a half-brother of former Aggie great Larry Stegent. Anderson Harrison, 6-4, 255 pound all-state tackle from Port Arthur Lincoln, and Greg Vorn- kahl, 6-3, 220, tackle from New Orleans Perry Walker have also joined the Aggie fold. Wednesday signings bring the A&M signings to 32. Th , pi , r THE BATTALION Thursday, February 15, 1973 College Station, Texas Page 5 Metcalf Credits Sophs For Improvement A&M Coach Shelby Metcalf credited Wednesday the improve ment of sophomores for his team’s surge in its last two games. “Mike Floyd has really come along,” he said at his weekly news conference. “He’s a great guard. And Jerry Mercer had some toughness inside.” Metcalf also was pleased, he said, with the performance of junior forward Randy Knowles. “Randy has settled down and started concentrating and we’re doing a better job of getting the ball to him,” Metcalf said. Knowles scored 76 points and grabbed 33 rebounds in the last two games while hitting 33 of 49 shots from the field for 67 per cent. The Aggies play Texas on tele vision in Austin Saturday after noon and Metcalf looks for a close one. “When these two teams get together, it’s usually a good ball game,” he said. “Both teams have too much pride for it to be otherwise. In Harry Larrabee, B. G. Brosterhouse, Eric Grosscurth and John Wilson, they have four of the finest players. It’s really impressive to see Larrabee on and off the court. When he gradu ates, I hope he stays in Texas. He’s the kind of person we need.” On the Southwest Conference race, Metcalf said: “It’s going to be pretty hard to catch Texas Tech. We were picked third and maybe we can move up, but we have a tough road left.” After Texas, the Aggies are hosts to Rice, go to Tech, are at home to SMU, and finish against TCU at Fort Worth.
