HOUSTON UP) — Twelfth
ranked Houston is famed for its
jgiaudy offensive Istatistics but
Coach Bill Yeoman can’t stop
talking about defense.
The Cougars, now 6-0 going
into Saturday’s showdown with
Auburn, defeated highly regarded
Miami 30-7 last week and defense
got its share of praise from
Yeoman.
“Defense set the tone of the
game,” Yeoman told the Houston
Sports Writers and Sportscasters
Association Tuesday. “They took
some of the enthusiasm out of
Miami running back Woody

Thompson.”
Houston came out of the Miami
game averaging 448.2 yards in
total offense while giving up only
283.2. The UH defense is among
the best in the nation with an
average yield of 98.2 yards per
game.
Cougar defenders are giving
up an average of only 2.6 yards
per rush.
Auburn, which defeated Geor
gia Tech last week to run its
record to 4-2, also has rock-
ribbed defense against the rush
with a 103.0 per game average.
“There should be some degree
of momentum going into the
Auburn game,” said Yeoman,
whose Cougars have won 10
straight games. “And we’ll need
all of it.”
Auburn will be playing before
a homecoming crowd, an un
healthy sign for the Cougars.
Auburn has lost only two home
coming games in the past 22
years.
The last meeting between Au
burn and Houston was the Cou
gars’ 36-7 victory in the 1969
Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl.

Collins Apologizes,
Wants to Return
LOVE’S
THREESOME
1
By KEVIN COFFEY, Sports Editor
An air of uncertainty covers the 1973-74 Texas Aggie
basketball team. Just how good it is or how good they can
be is a big question mark on the mind of A&M coach Shelby
Metcalf.
"We will probably be picked in the middle of the pack,”
Metcalf said refering to his teams chances in the Southwest
Conference title race. "We could go up a few places or down
a few, I just don’t know. It’s a little early to tell.”
It is a little early to be talking about basketball, but
it happens to be one of my favorite topics. Metcalf said
practices have been good and spirited since opening Oct.
15. “We are getting a lot done, but then we have a lot to
do,” Metcalf said.
At the end of last year the Aggies had a good team.
They finished strong in SWC play to post a 9-5 conference
mark and 17-9 record overall.
There is one new rule that will be in effect in conference
games this year, namely the 30-second shot clock. All teams
must shoot once every 30 seconds or lose the ball.
"The new rule won’t affect us much,” Metcalf said, "But
I think it will help the officials.”
One key to the Aggies appears to be the post position
on their double post offense. Three players, Cedric Joseph,
Jerry Mercer and John Thorton are battling for the spots.
Joseph and Mercer are returning letterman and Thorton is
a JC transfer.
“We are solid in the pivot and all three will most likely
play about the same amount of time,” the county’s most
famous cat fisherman said.
Mercer is a hustler; Joseph a multi-talented individual
and Thorton an unproven player when it comes to the SWC.
That should make it interesting.
Out front the Ags are in good shape. Mike Floyd is an
experienced junior and solid. I think he’s better than Mario
Brown was, surely a better defensive player.
Randy Knowles is probably the best to come the pike
here offensively in a long time. He can shoot, hit the offen
sive boards but needs some work defensively. He averaged
19.1 points per game in conference play last year. Floyd
averaged 13.6 and was the ninth best free throw shooter in
the country while Knowles was 13th.
The Aggies depth looks pretty good at this stage. Webb
Williams is "the most improved player on the team,” accord
ing to Metcalf, and should see a lot of action.
Freshmen Mike Johnson and Leroy Baerwald, "should
help us early,” Metcalf said. "It is a long way from high
school to the SWC,” warns Metcalf, "but these are the kind
of kids that can make it.”
Also contributing is red shirt Ray Roberts, who is
battling for a starting position.
Knowles is' co-captain along with Joe Arciniega. Ar-
ciniega won’t play much this year but he contributes in an
intangible way. "Joe is a leader and the stablizing factor
of the team,” Metcalf said. “He’s the sort of person that you
don’t meet every day and will really help the club.”
Arciniega is one of the greatest guys I’ve ever met.
You can’t help but like him but I wish his name was easier
to spell. He captured the fans last year and some formed
the "Joe Arciniega Fan Club.” He’s that type of guy.
Basketball opens Nov. 30 in G. Rollie White for what
should be an interesting season.
HOUSTON WP)—Rice split end
Edwin Collins, suspended from
the team after cursing Coach A1
Conover during a running drill,
said Tuesday he had apologized
to Conover and wanted to con
tinue playing football.
Collins, who was the second
leading received in the Southwest
Conference last year, said Con
over would not allow him back
on the team after the incident at
Monday’s practice.
“I apologized,” Collins said.
“I felt like what I said was
wrong and what he said was
wrong. This morning (Tuesday)
I did what I thought we should
do as men—come together and
discuss it. But he was still upset
and not in the mood to listen.
“He said he couldn’t let me
back on the team and keep the
respect of the team.”
Conover, trying to shake the
Owls out of a 1-4 start including
last Saturday’s 27-16 conference
opening loss to SMU, said he
didn’t want to go into the details
of the suspension.
“I had no choice in the matter,”
the solemn Conover said. “It was
something that had to be done.
We’ll miss him because he’s a fine
football player.”
Collins said he felt the incident
started in the team meeting Mon
day when Collins expressed an
opinion in which he felt he was
speaking for the team and not
for himself personally.
“I wasn’t speaking my opin
ion,” Collins said. “I was just
trying to tell him what some of
the younger players were feeling.
Water Polo
Wins Tourney
A&M’s water polo team re
newed its winning ways this
weekend by taking the Hendrix
Invitational Water Polo Tourna
ment.
The Ags, who took a beating
in New Mexico two weeks ago,
have advanced their record to 14-4
for the season.
A&M beat Southeastern Mis
souri in the finals, 8-7, to take
the crown. Doug Adamson had
his best offensive game of the
tournament, leading A&M with
four goals. Kevin O’Brian, Mike
Reilly, Don Wedermann and Mike
Shary each scored once to spread
out the A&M scoring.
In marching to the finals, the
Ags downed nationally ranked
swimming power Southern Illinois
University, 10-9. O’Brian, a JC
transfer, paced the Aggies with
four goals. Adamson and Reilly
scored twice each with Steve
Moore and Bill Cunningham add
ing one goal each.
A&M returns to Downs Nata-
torium tonight at eight when it
takes on “The Bunch,” a club
team from Houston.
But he took it personally that his
authority was being questioned.
I was caught in the middle.”
Collins said in running the ex
tra sprints after practice, a pen
alty for missing a Sunday run
ning session, Conover pushed him
past his limit.
“He had pushed me to the point
where I wasn’t thinking clearly,”
Collins said. “I just couldn’t
hold it any longer.”
