Novak University Key — Kentucky Central Life Aggies thump Frogs, confront SMU tonight THE BATTALION TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1974 By KEVIN COFFEY Sports Editor Followers of Aggie basketball have a saying. 4 Tf Randy Knowles hits his first shot, look out!” Knowles hit that first shot Sat urday night. Along the way the 6-6 senior hit 10 others and added five of six free throws for 27 points, leading A&M to a 90-64 win over the TCU Horned Frogs. At times the skinny Geneva, Ohio native seemed unreal. Every thing he tossed up went in. And when he wasn’t scoring, John Thornton, Webb Williams or Mike Johnson was. Even co-captain Joe Arciniega scored. Thornton pumped in 19 points while Williams and Johnson add ed 14 and 10 respectively in re serve rolls. The Aggies’ defense was at its best, said coach Shelby Metcalf. The Frogs managed but 24 points in the first half. A&M scored 38. Guard play was again strong for the Maroon and White de spite the injury to regular Mike Floyd. Charlie Jenkins turned in his second straight fine performance running the A&M offense. When the senior point man left with four points, six rebounds and a season high eight assists, John son took over. The freshman hit four quick buckets and tossed three assists in seven minutes of play. Williams hit on seven of nine shots in his most offensive out put of the season. Knowles pulled in 10 rebounds and Thornton added eight to lead a 47-36 Aggie assault of the backboards. It was Knowles who finally broke open the low scoring first half. The lead bounced back and forth the first 11 minutes. Knowles then hit 11 of his 13 first stanza points in a stretch drive that opened the A&M lead to 27-18. A&M put the game totally out Hoover, Emley pace tennis team of reach in the second half. Reel ing off 11 straight points, mid way through the period, the Ags avenged an earlier defeat in Fort Worth. Cedric Joseph hit eight points, Jerry Mercer four and Ray Rob erts two to round out the Aggie scoring. Knowles said he halfway agrees with the first shot theory. “I guess you can say tha£ I am a streak shooter,” he said. “My whole game seems to im prove when I am shooting well.” Metcalf said the team really needed the win. “This will make practices a lot better. We are just trying to improve every game now.” Tonight the Ags face giant killing SMU. The Mustangs are the only team in the conference to beat both Texas Tech and Tex as. Though 4-4 in loop play, SMU is overladen with talent. Ira Terrell, the SWC’s leading scorer with a 22 point average, and Guard Zach Theil (13 per game) highlight the Pony of fense. A&M won 90-75 in College Sta tion earlier in the year. Game time is 7:35 p.m. It will be broadcast over KTAM radio. THE SCEOND HALF BLOWOUT of TCU was led in part by Webb Williams (41). Here Williams hits two of his 14 points as A&M blasted the Frogs 90-64.

The Ags started the season in Kingsville sweeping Texas A&I, 7-0. Bill Hoover, currently A&M’s no. 1 man, shutout Jay Myers in the feature match, 6-0, 6-0. Fresh man Charles Emley also regis tered a shutout in his first out ing for TAMU. Friday saw the Aggies in Edin burg for the annual Pan Ameri can Tournament. Hoover beat Mary Hardin-Baylor’s Craig Gold in first round competition while Emley defeated Andes Johannson of Rice, 3-6, 7-5, 6-1. The Ags finest moment came in first round competition when Dan Courson upended no. 2 seed ed Ross Walker of Houston in a major upset. Hoover and Courson were elim inated in second round competi tion in straight sets, while Trin ity’s Bill McGowen had trouble with Emley but went on to take the match, 2-6, 6-1, 6-2. Coach Omar Smith’s No. 2 doubles team defeated the top netters representing Pan Am. Courson and Emley were defeat ed in the first round. A&M finished fourth in the eight team tourney, behind No. 4 ranked Houston, No. 7 ranked Trinity and unranked Mary Har- din-Baylor 11th ranked Texas finished in a fifth place tie with Rice. Pan American and Texas A&I rounded out the finishers. “We finished in good position, it (the tourney) was a good start,” Smith $aid. “We could have gotten farther but we lost two close matches in the second round.” The Ags will play Sam Hous ton today on the concrete courts since the varsity courts are be ing re-surfaced. A&M will re main in College Station to play host to St. Edwards on Friday.
