The recently humiliated A&M
basketball squad visits Lubbock
and a strong Texas Tech team to
night to try and rebound from a
88-72 loss suffered at the hands
of TCU in Fort Worth Saturday.
Coach Shelby Metcalf was pes
simistically optimistic in his view
of the upcoming game.
“We’ve beaten Tech in Lub
bock three straight years,” said
Metcalf, “but that doesn't mean
much because we had beaten
TCU in Fort Worth three straight
times also.
“I feel at this point the season
could still go either way,” he add
ed, “but a loss in Lubbock would
not rule us out of the conference
race.
“We have the hardest part of
our schedule in the first half of
the season. It’s conceivable we

could go 4-3 and still come back
to win the title.”
The Red Raiders should prove
to be a major obstacle in the path
of Aggie title hopes. Led by 1973
all-SWC guard Richard Little and
6-9 supersoph Rick Bullock, Tech
is just about everyone’s odds-on
favorite to win the conference
title.
Before Saturday’s game with
Baylor, Bullock was pumping in
baskets to the tune of 21.6 points
a game while Little was averag
ing 11.8. Bullock was also aver
aging 9.8 rebounds a game..
Also figuring prominently in
Tech’s title dreams is 6-6 junior
William Johnson, who was aver
aging 15.4 points and 8.5 rebounds
through Friday.
The Aggies counter with five
players who were averaging ten
points or better through Friday.
Randy Knowles at 14.2, Mike
Floyd hitting 13.5 a game, Cedric
Joseph averaging 12.6, Jerry
Mercer with a 10.7 norm and
freshman Mike Johnson carrying
a 10.9 average.
Top Aggie rebounders are Jo
seph gathering 10.2 per game,
Mercer with 9.1, Knowles getting
6.9 and John Thornton grabbing
6.6 a game.
As far as the Aggies are con
cerned, the less said about the
TCU game, the better.
After taking a 104-53 pound
ing from Texas Tuesday, the
Horned Frogs decided to take out
all their frustrations on the Ag
gies, who seemed only too happy
to roll over and play dead, hit
ting a ludicrous 33 per cent from
the field and a highly improbable
37.5 from the free throw line.
“I hope we learned something
from this,” Metcalf said of the
game. “Maybe if we hadn’t known
the score in Austin it might have
been a different ball game.”

Swimmers shine
in win over UTA
In what coach Dennis Fosdick
called “the best meet we’ve swum
in my four years at A&M,” the
A&M swimming team scored an
impressive 62-49 victory over
heavily favored University of
Texas at Arlington Saturday.
“This came as a real surprise,”
said Fosdick. “We weren’t even
thinking of winning until the 100-
yard freestyle (with five events
left).
“I couldn’t believe the times,”
he added. “They are almost to a
man better than the times we
were swimming at this point last
year.”
The Aggies kicked off the meet
by winning the 400-yard medley
relay with a time of 3:39.58. The
time is six seconds better than
the times of this period last year,
thanks largely to Steve Prentice’s
leadoff backstroke leg of 53.5
seconds. The time will stand as
the record even though it is part
of a relay because it was the first
leg.
Jim Yates captured first in the
200-yard freestyle with a time of
1:48.19, ahead of last year’s
schedule by four seconds.
Prentice then took first in the
200-yard backstroke with a
1:59.45, shaving three seconds of
his best time at this point last
year.
Also recording wins for the
Aggies were Scott Jones in the
50-yard freestyle with a 22.74,
and the 400-yard freestyle relay
team with a 3:17.13.
Probably the most impressive
member of the squad was soph
omore Nash Dowdle, who won the
200-yard flystroke and was a
member of the winning 400-yard
medley relay team. Dowdle’s fly-
stroke time of 2:02.31 was his
own personal best and 13 seconds
better than the pace of last year.
It was also the first time he had
swum the event this year.
