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.

part by Webb Williams (41). Here Williams hits two of his
14 points as A&M blasted the Frogs 90-64. (Photo by Kathy
Curtis)
A&M’s tennis team returns
from a successful road trip to
host Sam Houston State in the
team’s first home venture of ’74.
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.
