Schlicher recovering
from horse mishap
By TONY GALLUCCI
The survivors clash in the semifi
nals on Friday night May 7 with the
final scheduled for national televi
sion at 1:30 p.m. EDT Sunday, May
9.
Almost a year ago, one of the
state’s premier schoolboy basketball
players had his career ended. Almost
ended, that is. John Schlicher, rated
by some as tops on the bluechip list,
was riding a horse on a visit to Aggie-
land. Somehow the horse didn’t get
the message whom he was carrying
and Schlicher ended up in a hospital.
Solomon squeezed into the final
spot when Vitas Gerulaitis, Brian
Gottfried and Ken Rosewall couldn’t
compile enough points in the closing
WCT tournament of the year at De
nver last week.
The pride and joy of Fort Worth s
Paschal hospital found himself
sidelined with a fractured skull, bro
ken arm and shattered elbow. The
doctors first reported that Schlicher
would never shoot a basketball
again.
First prize is $50,000 in the tour
nament at Southern Methodist Uni
versity’s Moody Coliseum.
Last week, Schlicher signed a let
ter of intent to play for Texas A&M.
“It feels very good to be playing, ”
said Schlicher. Perseverance and a

desire to play basketball put him on
the court again.
When John was being recruited
by A&M and other schools around
the country he was being touted as
one of the state’s finest guards. He
wasn’t getting as much publicity as
another fine guard in the state, but
that helped him decide on A&M.
Karl Godine was generally thought
to be the state’s number one pros
pect that year and John considered it
reason enough to go to A&M when
Karl decided also. “Part of the reason
I came was because of who they
signed, ’ said Schlicher.
Recent probation by the South
west Conference cast doubts upon
whether Schlicher woidd ever get to
play ball with Godine. “I told him to
be honest with me about the situa
tion and he said he was gonna stay,”
said Schlicher.
Next year is closer though, and
with Karl unable to play, Schlicher
may be needed more than ever. “We
hope he’s gonna be looking real hard
at the point guard position, ’ said as
sistant coach Norman Reuther. “He
can step right in and help us. John’s
as good as anybody at getting the job
done. ’
