We rail it “Mexican Food Supreme ' Dallas location: 3071 Northwest Hwy. 352-857f By DAVID WALKER Battalion Sports Writer In just 32 short days the 1975-76 edition of the Texas Aggie basket ball team will make it’s debut in front of the home folks. From what I’ve seen the past couple of days it could prove to be very interesting. The Aggies are blessed with senior talent and leadership and a crop of freshmen that any coach would like to have. If the Aggies have any weakness other than obvious lack of experi ence it’s that they don t have an experienced “big man over 6-6 to go along with their super speed. There will be more new wrinkles in SWC basketball this year than in a five year old prune. Squads have been limited to ten men. Not good, says Aggie boss Shelby Metcalf. “I really don’t like that rule because I feel like a player can make a contribution even when he doesn’t play. I think Joe Arciniega made a terrific contribution although he didn’t play that much, ’’ Metcalf said. Another new change will be in the way the Southwest Conference basketball TV schedule is set up. In the past the TV schedule has been designated before the season started. This made it really easy for the TV folks but it also made for some very dull games from mid-season on that didn’t mean anything. This season only the first five games are set with the last five to be wild card games. The Aggie game against Texas Tech in Lubbock on January 17th will be on the tube with the Aggie-Arkansas battle the following Saturday in Fayetteville, a good bet for a wild card game. This is one of the best things for SWC basketball since the hoop. Now late in the season instead of playing golf while two bottom teams are playing, fans will stay home to see the top teams play. Exposure throughout the season will help the SWC and should boost attendance at the SWC tourney. It should be a wild season with no fewer than five teams mentioned as championship material. Some say the Ags will repeat. Some feel that the University of Houston will walk away with the title. Houston coach Guy Lewis thinks Texas Tech should be considered as the favorite. Arkansas coach Eddie Sutton thinks Houston should be favored and Metcalf thinks Bavlor coidd be the team to beat. T’ 1 a 1 m glad everyone agrees. While half of the Aggie team has never played a second of college basketball they will be given the opportunity to learn early in the season as they have one of the toughest tournaments schedules in history. They lead off in the Jayhawk Classic in Lawrence Kansas with Kansas, LaSalle and Yale. The Aggies open in that one with LaSalle who won 24 games last season. The comes the Louisville tournament in Louisville, Kentucky with one of the nation’s top teams, Louisville. Seattle will also be there along with small college power Kentucky State. The Ags have yet to get an opening round foe. Next is the Bluebonnet tourney in Houston. The Cougars and Aggies will be in this one with Houston Baptist and San Francisco. San Francisco was the number one recruiting team in the nation last year and Houston is always tough in their own pit. The Aggies will open with San Francisco. Coach Metcalf found this out when he was talking with the Frisco coach on the telephone. “Houston let them know who their first round game was with but they didn’t let us know, I guess they only had one stamp.’ Metcalf went on about how his Aggies always seem to draw the toughie in the opening round while the Cougars have the light one, “That Guy Lewis is just the luckiest man in the world. For the last eight years he’s called me on the phone and we ve flipped to see who plays who and he’s won all of them. The closest I ever came to winning was one year when the coin landed on its end and we had to flip over. ” That’s Shelby. Yes, basketball is near. lahoma, spreading the name across the sheet music like a 28-game win ning streak. “Ooooooooooklahoma, was the cry then, and it still is, overshadow ing the fact that the Cowboys from Oklahoma State were a good foot ball team last year with a victory in the Fiesta Bowl, and are a very solid football team again this season. Oklahoma State’s dilemma is more than the fact that rival Ok lahoma is the best team in the state and in the conference. It’s that in 1974, Oklahoma was the No. 1 team in the land, stretching from sea to shining sea. Sooners Coach Barry Switzer does, for one. He says Oklahoma State, 5-2 after a 35-19 victory over Kansas last Saturday, is “one of the better offensive football teams in the Big 8. Oklahoma State, ranked No. 19, is a pretty good football team, but Oklahoma, college football s Mr. America last year, is now rated No. 2. So like we said before, who’s gonna notice pretty? . . .

Hackerman announced last Fri day that he would appoint a nine- member committee to “look into the whole question of intercol legiate athletics. “Some have taken this interview and used it for purposes of anti recruiting, Hackerman said. “Re cruiters from other places have said You don’t want to go there, they’re going to close out next year or the next. But we’re not closing out next year or the next. will continue in the Southwest Con ference just as we have. Hackerman said the committee will include three alumni, two members of the board of governors, two faculty members and two stu dents. Included in the report will be re commendations about the Rice program and the direction it will take during the next 10 years. Hackerman said the committee’s appointment comes at an ideal time because it will study changes that will be made in the program to comply to Title IX. h i I Tilt ^ Shu pc yr Roger Rozell APPOINTMENTS MADE 1-6 WEEKS IN ADVANCE FROM DAY OF HAIR CUT: SAVE $2.00 ON CUT & BLOW DRY.

MAIN DOWNTOWN BRYAN Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Gail Good rich, a star guard holding out for more money, is under suspension by the Los Angeles Lakers who have filled his spot on the roster with 7-foot Jim McDaniels, who doesn’t play in the backcourt. Goodrich, who was named to the National Basketball Association’s all-star team after the 1973-74 sea son, and owner Jack Kent Cooke are reportedly about $100,000-a-year apart in negotiations. Larry Flriesher, who represents Goodrich, has been quoted as say ing, “This is the worst contract dis pute I ever had. ’ Although exact figures aren’t an nounced, Goodrich was believed to have earned $150,000 from the Lakers last season when they posted their worst season since moving from Minneapolis to Los Angeles. Cooke reportedly is offering bet ween $175,000 to $200,000 for the current season. The left-handed former UCLA star wants about $100,000 more than that for his ser vices.
