"Except for the fact that we

iM basketball coach Shelby
< : 30 Wed#| j e t ca if reflected on the 1972-73
age campaign.
"At times were played great
asketball, and I think we de-
eloped some strong fan inter-
st,” Metcalf said. “I was very
leased with our attendance and
he reactions of our fans.”
The Aggies were picked to fin-
sh third in the Southwest Con-
erence race and wound up tied
yith Arkansas for second with a
-5 league mark. A&M was 17-9
or the season after winning six
f their last seven games and
jeating league champ Texas
ech in Lubbock.
The team set five school rec-
irds, and there were several out-
itanding individual performances,

Koring with 2,162 points for an
13.2 average, 873 field goals for

In a triangular meet held in
ort Worth Saturday competing
jainst TCU and SMU, the Ag-
ies finished only one point be-
ind the sprint-laden Mustangs,
i-65, and looked well on the way
1 becoming a championship con-
mder.
Three weeks ago, entered in
the Border Olympics, things look
ed as bleak as could be finishing
sixth in a 10-team field with 27
points. After a dedicated effort
in workouts the following week,
A&M scored a big upset in de
feating last year’s SWC runner-
up Rice and Houston in a tri
angular meet held here.
On Saturday, both individually
and team-wise, A&M did a fan
tastic job.
Best effort of the day was by
Scottie Jones who became the
first hurdler in the conference
to break the 14-second mark in
the 120-yard highs. He was clock
ed at 13.9 beating the second-
place finisher, TCU’s Gary Pat
terson, by five-tenths of a second.
Richard McGilvary, A&M fresh
man, was third with 14.9.
Donny Rogers, first-year com
petitor in the long jump, got off
his best jump ever at 24-2% to
defeat SMU’s top-notch fresh
man, Kenny Harrison, who had
a 24-1%.
High jumper Ben Greathouse
won the event with a 6-8 leap de-

game rebound record with 23
against Angelo State.
Senior Jeff Overhouse finished
high in the rankings for all-time
A&M career performances in
scoring and rebounding. His
three-year figures show 1,162
points (No. 4), and 739 rebounds
(No. 2) for the full season, and
662 points (No. 4) and 441 re
bounds (No. 2) in SWC play.
Overhouse had 253 rebounds
this season, and Knowles had 251
to rank seventh and eighth in
that category. Knowles scored
452 points to rank eighth in the
full season list and had 267 con
ference points for sixth place.
Sophomore guard Mike Floyd
hit all 25 free throw attempts in
the Bluebonnet Tournament and
had consecutive streaks of 30 and
25 during the season.
Overhouse, guard Mario Brown
and guard Bob Gobin were the
team’s seniors. The returnees in
clude Knowles, Floyd, and center
Jerry Mercer among the starters.
Also returning will be sopho
mores Joseph and Webb Williams
and juniors Chuck Tone, C. W.
Guthrie and Joe Arciniega. Guth
rie came down with mononucle
osis midway through the season
and missed the last 17 games.
Knowles led the team in scor
ing with a 17.4 average for the
full season and a 19.1 norm in
league play. Overhouse was sec-
cond in both categories with 14.3
and 14.7 averages. Overhouse was
the top SWC rebounder with 166
for an 11.9 average, the third
highest total in A&M history.
Brown averaged 13.4 and 14.6
while Floyd hit for 12.5 and 13.6.
Brown, Knowles
Picked By Hogs
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.—Doug
Collins, an All-America from Illi
nois State University, was a
unanimous selection to the all
opponent team selected by the
University of Arkansas basket
ball squad.
Centenary’s Robert Parish,
Wilie Biles of Tulsa, Memphis
State’s Larry Kenon and Joe
Meriweather of Southern Illi
nois also were selected to the
unit.
Memphis State, the Missouri
Valley Conference champions,
was voted the outstanding team
opponent.
Coach L a n n y Van Eman’s
squad also selected an All-South
west Conference opponent team.
SMU’s Ira Terrell and Sammy
Hervey, Jerry Ahart of Baylor,
Texas Tech’s Richard Little, and
Randy Knowles and Mario Brown
of Texas A&M were selected to
this unit. Knowles and Brown
tied for the fifth position.
f eating TCU’s Johnny Blakney
on fewer misses.
The Aggies took all three places
in the 880-yard run with senior
Willie Blackmon grabbing the
gold medal in a time of 1:53.4.
Sophomore Horace Grant was
second in 1:54.1 and freshman
Harold Davis was clocked in
1:54.8.
In the sprint relay, A&M ran
41.6 to finish second behind
SMU’s 41.5 but tied its best time
of the year. The mile relay, how
ever, was a different story run
ning a lackluster 3:15.3 finishing
behind TCU’s 3:14.0. SMU did
not compete in the final event.
A&M’s best mark this year, set
last week, is 3:14.1.
Another surprise occurred in
the 440-yard intermediate hur
dles when the Aggies again took
all three places. David Morris
won the event with a 55.0 fol
lowed by McGilvary in 55.3 and
Wayne Mills with a 57.0. Mills
was far below his best having
clocked a 54.3 the previous week.
Sore spot for A&M was in the
sprints as no points were scored
in either race.
SMU’s Gene Pouncy won the
century with a 9.5 followed by
Ronald Shaw of TCU in 9.6 and
Joe Pouncy with a 9.6. SMU also
swept the 220-yard dash with
Joe Pouncy in at 21.4, Rufus
Shaw with 21.5 and Gene Pouncy
clocked at 21.9.
Freshman Craig Carter fin
ished second in the shot put with
a heave of 51-6. SMU’s Sammy
Walker won the event with a
60-7% toss.
David Peterek took the pole
vault with 15-0 and Harold Mc
Mahan was second with a 14-6.
Freshman Bill Newton finished
third in the javelin with a 210-1
throw. SMU’s Brad Morgan and
Paul Derwin were one-two with
heaves of 213-5 and 212-5, re
spectively.
A&M will return to the track
at Kyle Field this Saturday when
they compete in the second an-
naly College Station Relays
against Baylor, SMU, TCU, ACC
and South Carolina. There will
also be over 22 high schools
entered.
