Three weeks ago, when Texas Tech was
iriding high and all alone atop the Southwest
Conference basketball race, several people,
including A&M head coach Shelby Metcalf,
said there was no way anybody could challenge
Tech for the lead because there was no way
Tech could lose three games.
One week ago, after the Aggies had handed
Tech its second loss of the conference season
with a 98-95 double overtime decision, Metcalf
said, “This (the loss) won’t change a thing.
Tech will still win it easy. I don’t think Texas
can beat Tech in Lubbock.”
Tuesday night, traveling back to Austin
after handing Tech its third loss and equaling
their records at 8-3, the Longhorns knew that
just one major obstacle stood in the way of
their winning a share of the conference title.
That obstacle is called the A&M basketball
squad and the Longhorns have to hand the
Aggies their first home defeat of the season
in order to stay with Tech in the lead.
When Texas walks out onto the court in
G. Rollie White Coliseum Saturday night, they
will be a team that will command much more
respect than at the first of the conference
season when they possessed a humbling 1-11
record.
Rumors raged rampant throughout Austin
that this could be Longhorn head coach Leon
Black’s last season as Texas basketball mentor.
Black managed to hush most of the rumors
with a drastic turnaround in SWC play that
saw Texas sharing or pushing for the lead
all season long. The rumors resurfaced briefly
after Texas’ disappointing 72-71 overtime loss
to lowly TCU but the win over Tech may have
secured Black’s job for at least another year.
Leading the ’Horns’ attack is 6-7 senior
Larry Robinson, battling for the SWC scoring
lead, averaging over 21 points a game. Also
figuring prominently in the Longhorn lineup
are 5-10 guard Harry Larrabee and 6-7 for
ward Tyron Johnson.
A&M will be putting a 14-game home
winning streak on the line against the Long
horns, with 10 home victories this year and
the final four home games of last season. The
Aggies are also coming off their first confer
ence road victory of the season with a 96-82
win over the Rice Owls in Houston Tuesday.
Postmen Cedric Joseph and John Thornton
each had an outstanding game against the
Owls, scoring 25 and 24 points, respectively.
Randy Knowles, one of the conference scoring
leaders, had an off night in Houston, scoring
only three points, but is generally considered
to play his best in G. Rollie.
Tipoff is scheduled for 7:35 p.m.

When Susan Johnston stood on
the one-meter board with a band
aged ankle Feb. 2 she made sports
history. Two women were com
peting against each other for the
first time in a Southwest Confer
ence sanctioned event and she was
one of them.
Novice nerves and a sprained
ankle cut deeply into her chances
and she lost the one-meter diving
event to Rice’s Mary Sharpe, the
first woman to compete in the
SWC.
“I was so scared. I haven’t
been in competition and I don’t
like the idea of so many eyes
watching me,” Johnston said. “I
hope I can stick with it and learn
some of the more complicated
dives. Some of the boys do twists
that I can’t even follow with my
eyes.”
Johnston became interested in
diving during summer orientation.
She was at the Wofford Cain
pool “just messing around” when
she met a girl from the women’s
swim team. “The coach was very
agreeable,” said Johnston.

Not much of a world—when you
consider all its human imperfections.
Yet it’s the world we are giving our
children—the world in which they
must grow up and find their destiny.
And we keep hoping that theirs will be
a finer generation—one able to im
prove this world.
What our children eventually do
with the world depends upon our spiri
tual resources and how we share these
truths and ideals with them. By en
couraging faith and showing them right
from wrong, our children can become
the finest generation, destined to
change the world—for the better.
Is there a church in your life?
There should be!

“I feel honored that they let
me work out with them,” she
said. Johnston admires the team
and praises it ofteen. “Those
guys are really dedicated. I look
at their dedication and say ‘I’d
like to have some of that,’ but
sometimes I get real tired. I
shouldn’t be so lazy.”
Coach Dennis Fosdick says he
wishes all his athletes were like
he. “She works hard and listens
to coaching,” said Fosdick. “We
have a hard time keeping her off
the board. She should be getting
more rest with that ankle
sprained, but she shows up every
morning.”
As if competition and work-outs
aren’t enough, Johnston also
works with a team of girls to
time swim meets. “We make signs
and go to meets and give the
team support,” she said. “Swim
meets are fun.”
To ice an already impressive
cake, she is a pre-med major with
a 4.0 GPR for her first semester.
She shrugged off the grade
points. “Sure I got a 4.0,” she
said. “But you know . . . big deal
when all you do is study.
“Sometimes I think about pre-
med and my career. 1 don’t want
work taking up too much time.
There’s so much to do and so
many things to try.”
Johnston has always enjoyed a
variety of sports. “In high school
I used to try a tid-bit of this and
a tid-bit of that without really
specializing.
“My sister, Alice, and I used
to try everything. Now she’s
diving.
“I’m the oldest of my sisters,
the leader of the pack,” she says
with an ever present smile. “Poor
Dad had three girls and no boys.
He was so upset.”
Alice is a junior in high school
and Georgann (“she was supposed
to be a boy”) is a freshman in
high school. They all grew up in
Arlington.
Susan became a real water bug
during her two summers at Seven
Seas in Arlington where she play
ed leading lady in a skit-on-water.
The leading actor was a sea-lion.
She also helped work up a water
ballet with other girls working
there.
“At Seven Seas I used to think,
‘I’m so lucky doing the things 1
enjoy most,” she said. But being
on the team has topped every
thing. “Last semester 'I didn’t
dream this would happen.”
What’s it like to be the only
girl on the team ? “It’s a novelty,”
she said. “I enjoy it. It’s differ
ent and it’s been exciting.”
But it’s not easy. “It takes
every ounce of energy for me
just to go to work-out. Practice

Lacrosse
begins
season
TAMU’s Maroon and White La
crosse teams begin their seasons
on Sunday with matches against
two Houston independent teams.
The Maroon team will play un
defeated Houston Blue at 3:00
p.m. Houston’s Blue comes to town
toting an All-American goalie,
Les Matthews.
The White team will open the
series with a game against Hous
ton White. That game will be at
11:00 a.m.
Coach Dave Gruber is optimis
tic. “I think we can beat these
guys. We have developed good
stick-handling skills and organiz
ation. We could have a couple of
the tough teams in the league
this year.”
Netters try
Pan Am, Trinity
this weekend
The A&M tennis team, 41-0 in
match points this season, see ac
tion today against tough Pan Am.
The match begins at 1:30 on the
newly re-surfaced varsity courts.
Extra seating has been set up
to handle the large crowd expect
ed for this match and the big
match against seventh-ranked
Trinity on Saturday.
Among netters likely to see ac
tion this weekend is junior Bill
Wright. Wright beat Sam Hous
ton State’s Mike Long 6-0, 6-0
in the number one singles match
on Tuesday. Coach Omar Smith
was delighted. “Bill played flaw
less tennis. He didn’t overhit for
a change, and was in complete
command.”
Smith was pleased with the
team, also, which includes four
freshmen in the starting eight.
“The team as a whole is gain
ing maturity.” Smith looks for a
big crowd for the matches this
weekend saying it could boost
the team immeasurably. Satur
day’s match will be the last week
end home match until March 30.
Intramural
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. <A>) _
Lanny Van Eman, University of
Arkansas basketball coach since
1970, resigned Thursday.
Van Eman, who said his resig
nation would be effective after
the Razorbacks final game March
3, said he has no definite future
plans.
The Razorbacks have a record
of 8-15 this season and a confer
ence record of 4-7.
Under his leadership, the Hogs
finished with a 16-10 record last
year — their best finish since
1961. Their 9-5 Southwest Con
ference record last year gave
them second place in the confer
ence.
“I wish to make my apprecia
tion known to the state of Arkan
sas and the community of the
University of Arkansas for af
fording me the opportunity to
serve as head basketball coach,”
Van Eman said Thursday.
Frank Broyles, athletic direc
tor, thanked Van Eman for his
contributions and wished him suc
cess in the future.
Broyles said no successor had
been found for Van Eman.
Yell practice
set for tonight
A yell practice will be held to
night at 10:00 to support the
streaking Aggie basketball team
before Saturday’s big game with
Texas. The morale booster, first
since 1969, will be held in the
civilian quad between Moore and
Moses Halls in front of Davis-
Gary.
The Yell Leaders urge every
one to attend and support the
team in their quest to finish the
home season without a loss.
