The name of Joe Arciniega
means magic to Aggie basketball
fans.
The 185-pound secondary edu
cation major from Lynwood, Cal.,
a suburb of Los Angeles, was re
cruited three years ago by the
Aggies and at times has won
dered what he is doing so far
from home.
“I have the greatest friend in
the world in my roommate Randy
Knowles, he keeps encouraging
me when times seemed like I
would never get to play,” said
Arciniega. He has warmed the
bench all year until the Arkan
sas game Feb. 10, at which time
the newly formed Joe Arciniega
Fan Club began to function.
Ben Vaughn, junior resident of
White Hall noticed Joe’s superb
shooting at warm-ups before the
TCU game Feb. 4. According to
Vaughn, “I could not stand by
and watch a player who is so re
markable in warm-ups sit the
bench every game.”
Vaughn told his friends of the
great injustice toward Arciniega
then said, “We decided Joe only
needed a chance and that if we
demanded he be put in the game,
he would show the quality player
he truly is.”
Arciniega has been known too
long for his moral contributions
and not long enough for his ex
cellent basketball skills.
“I just can’t keep up with Joe
in a one-on-one drill,” injected
Randy Knowles. A&M’s leading
scorer went on to say, “Joe be
longs on the court more, he has
a lot to offer the team.”
“I hope that all students real
ize that Joe’s talents are too val
uable to waste on the side line,”
said Vaughn.
The purpose of the club is to
get Joe off the bench and on the
court.
Arciniega is flattered by the
support and says, “I have always
tried to make as many friends as
possible and it makes me feci
great that I have not been for
gotten by the students.
“I just could not believe that
the standing ovation was for me,
after hitting that shot I felt so
good,” said Arciniega.
Joe says, “No matter how

Randy Lands Spot
On Second Team
A&M’s leading scorer and re
bounder, 6-6 forward Randy
Knowles, was the only Aggie
mentioned on the Dallas Morn
ing News’ All-Southwest Confer
ence team landing a second team
spot.
Only a junior, Knowles hit at
a 17.1 scoring clip and grabbed
9.8 rebounds per contest. He was
the sixth best scorer among the
conference performers and the
fifth leading rebounder.
Martin Terry, Arkansas’ 6-4
guard, was selected as the South
west Conference Player of the
Year. Terry was the scoring
champion hitting for over 28
points per game. He and SMUs
6-7 forward Sammy Hervey were
the only unanimous selections.
Other first team members were
Ira Terrell, SMU’s fabulous
freshman, who was also selected
Newcomer of the Year, and two
players from conference cham
pion Texas Tech Raiders.
6-10 Ron Richardson and 6-3
guard Richard Little made the
elite squad for Tech.
All but Richardson and Terry
will be competing next season.
Gerald Myers, who directed
Tech to the title after being
picked no higher than fourth, was
named Coach of the Year.
The balloting for outside posi
tions, with the exception of Ter
ry, was extremely close as Tex
as’ Harry Larrabee and Baylor’s
Jerry Ahart also received some
first-team votes.
On the second unit besides
Knowles were Larrabee, Ahart,
Arkansas’ 6-8 Dean Tolson, and
freshman Raider Rick Bullock.
All members of the second
team will return to competition
next season*
Among the two elite units are
five of six top scorers, the three
top rebounders and the two top
field goal percentage leaders.
