Five of the players are junior col lege transfers and one is a freshman. Although practice sessions do not begin until October 15, both Met calf and assistant coach Norm Reuther, are already impressed with what the new blood has to offer. “We feel we have added speed and offensive punch to the team,” said Reuther. “They are a very fine group of young men. We are well-pleased and proud of them.” Reuther believes there is a possi bility of any of them starting at some point in the year. “We have five seniors returning to the key posi tions but they are going to have to work. Each position is up for grabs. ” The Aggie coaches felt they needed immediate help and wanted players with experience to fill the gaps. That is the reason five of the players are transfers. The only freshman in the group is Doug Mezger from Marble Falls. He averaged 18 to 20 points a game and around 14 rebounds. The Ag gies selected him as a high postman. “He’s strong and a very fine athlete, but he will have to have time to mature and learn the system.” Mezger also threw the shot and ran track in high school. Barry Davis is a 6-5 forward from Hill Junior College. He helped Hill reach the national tournament where he made the all-tournament team. He was the Most Valuable Player in the regional tourney. Reuther describes him as a “bull as well as being “a fine athlete.” Also from Hill comes 6-7 sopho more Steve Jones. He scored 37 points in the regional finals last year. “He is fast and a very fine of fensive player. We need to get him to go to the boards more, though,” commented Reuther. Another forward is 6-6 Sonny Arnold is a scream) SAT-SUN 3:30-5:30 7:30-9:30 CINEPAMA CREASING •4^ pesenls STELLA RODDY STEVENS McDOWAU ond A BCR Production in Cola [PGte Nitely 7:30-9:30 STARTS FRIDAY fobcEcmniH UNIVERSITY SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER — 846-1151 Embrey’s Jewelry We Specialize In Aggie Rings.

And the Aggies expect big things from him. “Cates has a lot of hustle and is very aggres sive. He is a smart defensive player and an overall highly intelligent basketball player.” These are the newcomers Metcalf and Reuther will be counting on to be of the most help. The only nega tive remark in reference to them was a need for improved defensive play. “It’s good to put the ball in the hoop, but you have to keep the other guy from putting it in your hoop also, said Reuther. Despite the needed polish on de fense, the addition of these players should make the Aggie attack as po tent as ever.
