A change for the better
By KEVIN COFFEY
Sports Editor
Give a basketball to Harry Lar
rabee against the Texas Aggies
and he seems to go wild. It was no
different Saturday night.
Larrabee, averaging only 13
points a game, poured in a sea
son’s high 26 to lead the Texas
Longhorns past A&M 88-81.
Larry Robinson was his usual
all-conference self, hitting 34
points and grabbing 12 rebounds
as the Longhorns held on to a
share of the SWC top spot with
Texas Tech.
A&M led by 15 in the first half,
44-29 with 4:19 left. However,
they failed to hit another field
goal before intermission and Rob
inson, Larrabee and Ed Johnson
shot Texas back within range.
Larrabee hit a 50 footer at the
buzzer t cut the A&M lead to 46-
buzzer to cut the A&M lead to 46-
42.
Longhorn coach Leon Black ad
mitted Larrabee’s bucket “provid
ed some motivation” for the
second half.
Just like during their first en
counter of the year, A&M’s zone
defense was forcing Texas to take
outside shots. And just like that
first game, Texas hit the bombs
with amazing regularity. The
Longhorns hit 50.6 per cent of
their shots. A&M hit 40.
In Texas’ 98-90 win in Austin
the Larrabee-Robinson duo was
joined by Dan Krueger. Saturday
night the UT seniors let Fresh
man Ed Johnson in on the act.
Texas tied the game at 50-50
much to the dismay of a G. Rollie
White Coliseum record crowd of
8,241.
Ray Roberts hit five quick
points for A&M but Robinson
again added five for Texas. Randy
Knowles tipped in four points but
Larrabee hit two bombs. Thorn
ton hit four more to keep A&M
just two back 79-77 with 1:42 re
maining.
Robinson and Roberts again
traded buckets but UT’s Johnson
hit a three point play to put Tex
as on top 84-79.
Texas outrebounded the Ags 48-
45. Johnson and Robinson each
had 12 while Krueger grabbed 11.
Knowles led A&M with 21
points and 13 rebounds. Thornton
tallied 16 and Joseph 14. Mike
Johnson hit 13, 11 in the first
half. Roberts added nine.
A&M coach Shelby Metcalf gave
full credit to Larrabee for the big
UT win. “Larrabee is the smart
est player in the conference,” said
the dejected Aggie mentor. “He’s
an all-American from the should
ers up.”
Black, who earlier in the season
was fighting for his job is now
fighting for the conference cham
pionship.
“You don’t find it any tougher
than it was out there tonight,”
said Black “You have to play very
well to win in College Station and
when you do, it has to build your
confidence.”
Black is not the only coach who
has found it hard to win in front
of the Aggie home folks. UT’s
win broke a 15 game winning
streak in G. Rollie.
Tonight the Aggies face Baylor
here at 7:30.
Girls* prelim set
TAMU’s girls will play their
second home game of the season
as a prelim to the men’s game.
Tipoff is set for 5:15 with Prairie
View A&M providing the opposi
tion. This is the first season of
girls’ roundball at A&M.

The Texas Aggies bashed out
46 hits and scored 45 runs as they
opened baseball action with a four
game sweep of Louisiana Tech.
A&M blasted the Bulldogs 14-
0, 14-2, 7-1 and rallied from be
hind for a 10-9 win in the first
weekend series of the year.
Today the Ags face St. Mary’s
on Kyle Field at 1 p.m. in another
doubleheader. This is the last ac
tion before Southwest Conference
play opens with Baylor here Fri
day.
A&M’s first action was a pleas
ant surprise to coach Tom Chand
ler. “We were very aggressive at
the plate and our pitching only
broke down in one game,” Chand
ler said. “We are going to have
to improve defensively. We had
some impressive pitching per-
formances for this early in the
year but it is still a question
mark.”
Clint Thomas, Jackie Binks,
Jeff Scheumack and Perry Arth
ur all notched wins with Jim Wal
lace, David Lockette and Jimmy
Juhl turning in impressive relief
performances.
The designated hitter rule came
to the aid of the Aggies. Sandy
Bate filled the position well, with
five hits and eight RBI’s in Sat
urday’s doubleheader.
Mike Schraeder and John
Woods had big days at the bats
for the Aggies. Schraeder had
two hits counting for five runs
Friday and tallied four RBI’s Sat
urday.
Woods also hit a homer while
collecting four RBI’s for the
weekends work.
Jim Hacker, Mike Frazier and
Paul Miller had productive days
at the plate as the Ags ran their
team batting average to an amaz
ing .392.
Tech coach Pat Patterson said
the Ags were one of the finest
hitting he’s seen in his baseball
career.
Thomas threw four innings of
shutout ball and teamed with
Lockette in tossing a six hit shut
out.
Arthur battled a case of the flu
while throwing four innings of
shutout ball. Binks performance
was marred only by a brief
stretch of wildness where Tech
scored its only run.
