Let’s give America a hand! Gobin—A&M in his blood By DAVID WALKER Staff Sports Writer Bob Gobin is in his sixth year with the Texas Aggie basketball team and he hopes he’s around for six more. “This is my sixth year at A&M and I don’t want to leave,” Gobiri said. “I really have this place in my blood and I think it would really be hard to leave A&M.” Gobin hopes that he can stay on at A&M after he gets his master’s de gree. “I really hope I can stay here with Coach Metcalf, I’ve learned a lot since I’ve coached with him and I think it is helping me.” Gobin is recognized as one of the best defensive players and leaders at A&M in years. His defensive abil ity has been held over to help him in his coaching days. His responsibil ity is working with the guards and forwards on their defense. “Yes, I work on that mostly but that isn’t all I do,” said Gobin. “I work with their offense too. I help with the recruiting and the scouting also.” Gobin says. that he really feels that he knows Shelby Metcalf better since he became a coach. “I under- - stand Coach Metcalf more now than when I was a player. It helps me in my coaching to have played under him. I know his system and what he expects so I can do things without him telling me to do them. I guess you can say that I can kind of read him.” “I’ve really learned a lot, you know there is so much more to coaching than just drawing X’s and O’s on the black board. I’ve learned about all of those things, things like dealing with and understanding people, the pressure from exes, and management of the team,” Gobin said. Gobin came to A&M in 1969 from Perryton, Texas where he was an all-round athlete at Perryton High. Gobin was all-state in both basket- BOB GOBIN Carew: Recognition not easy to capture COCOA, Fla. (AP) — You’ve got to be a muscle man or play on a winning team to get proper recogni tion in baseball, says the top hitter in the major leagues. Bears beat St. Mary’s in twinbill SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (AP) — Timmy Kolkhorst and Julian Serna provided the batting power here Tuesday as the Bayor Bears com pleted a successful invasion of San Antonio with victories over Trinity, 5-1, and St. Mary’s, 4-3, non conference game. Dub Kilgo, 5-1, won the first game for the Bears. Kolkhorst sparked a two-run attack in the sixth inning with a solo homer and also drove in a run in the fourth with a double. Serna drove in one run and col lected three hits in four trips to the plate in the first game. Against St. Mary’s Serna was 4-4 and scored one run. Burl Coker, 3-0, took credit for the victory over St. Mary’s going two innings in relief. Baylor scored the wining runs of the second game in the sixth inning without the benefit of a hit. The Bears used two walks, a fielder’s choice, ahit-by-pitch and a sacrifice fly to notch the winning tallies. Baylor is now 14-4 for the year. Trinity is 1-8 and St. Mary’s 1-10. “What chance have I got?” slim Rod Carew of the Minnesota Twins lamented Tuesday. “I’m no power hitter. My job is to hit through the gap, get on base, steal abase, move men around. “If I tried, I could hit 15 home runs a season. But I wouldn’t be helping the Twins. I would be help ing Carew.” Rod has hit only 32 homers in his entire career. The 29-year-old Panamanian led all of baseball last year with an in credible percentage of. 364 and be came the first American Leaguer since Ty Cobb to win three straight batting titles. “Don’t get me wrong,” Carew said. “I am not arguing that I should have been MVP in 1974. My field ing wasn’t all that good. And I was happy to see Jeff Burroughs of the Texas Rangers win it. “I thought sure it would go to one of the guys on the Oakland A s. That’s the normal pattern.” “Every guy wants to win the MVP,” said Carew. “I’m afraid it’s not for me unless I have a very big year, and the Twins do, too.” The Twins second baseman said he thought he had a shot at the honor in 1973 when he batted .350 and had an all-around good year. “But it went to Reggie Jackson of the A s,” he said. “He batted only .293 but he’s a big hitter, batted in 117 runs. And he was on the champ ionship team. “Batting second in the lineup, how am I ever going to knock in 117 runs? That’s not my job. A baseball team is made up of many parts. Some roles — like mine — are not as conspicuous as others. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t important. “We all can’t be power hitters. We all can’t be on winning teams. So what do we do? Do we ignore these other performances al together?” PICTURES FOR 1975 AGGIELAND JUNIORS & SOPHOMORES Feb 24 — March 14 Make-ups SENIORS AND GRADUATE STUDENTS MAKE SELECTION OF PROOFS FOR YEAR BOOK SOON AS POSSIBLE Photographs are taken on a drop-in basis, 8 — 5 weekdays and 8 — 12 Sat.

The team picked up a first round bye and went into the second round ready to give the University of Ar kansas a run for their money. They took the Razorbacks 71-67.

SMU staff job handed to Berstein DALLAS (AP) — Dan Berstein, a former basketball player at Austin College, was named Tuesday as a second assistant basketball coach at Southern Methodist University. Bernstein played basketball, ten nis and baseball at Brandeis High School in New York City, and SMU Athletic Director Dick Davis said Bernstein will be an asset because of his contacts in the East.
