Co-leaders A&M, Arkansas prepare for battle
By TONY GALLUCCI
Sports Editor
It seems as if the Aggies will never
find rest; but then champions never
do. Every game looms larger as the
Aggies prepare their next assault on
the way to the lonely top.
This time, it is more than just a hill
the Aggies must conquer. It is THE
hill and it is called Arkansas. With
both teams sporting a spotless 5-0
SWC record the matchup tonight in
G. Rollie White Coliseum has right
fully been called “The SWC Game of
the Year.”
Arkansas comes into the game
with a 12-3 record overall and the
Aggies enter at 13-5. A&M, the pre
season favorite to win the confer
ence, stumbled early but has recent
ly come on like gangbusters while
Arkansas has maintained a rather
steady pace.
It will be as good a physical match
up as a paper one and the Ags must
be ready to play if they want the
bragging rights. Arkansas coach
Eddie Sutton has been blowing
smoke all week as he is often wont to
do. But then there has been more
than idle talk about an undefeated
SWC season for this most talented-
ever Aggie squad.
Only they can control their des
tiny at this point and it is home floor
time.
“I hope we re ready to play —
there’s no reason we shouldn’t be, ’
said head coach Shelby Metcalf fol
lowing his team’s last major workout
before the game. “Tt’s gonna be a
tough ballgame.”
“Hastings has been playing well
for them — something like 19 points
has been his low game in the confer
ence. Scott Hastings has been aver
aging 20.5 for the Razorbacks in
SWC play. “And (Alan) Zahn’s play
ing real well,” Metcalf said. “We ll
put Vernon (Smith) on Zahn. He’s
capable of handling him, if he goes
out ready.”
“They either play a man or 2-3
zone or defense,” he continued.
“They’ll usually play man until they
get ahead of you and then they go
into their zone. It really doesn’t mat
ter to us. We’ve attacked both of
them equally well.”
“We ll start (Dave) Goff on (Keith)
Hilliard and put (David) Britton on
(U.S.) Reed who’s about 6-2 — but
plays about 6-5. ” That last comho
could be a good matchup according
to Metcalf. “If for some reason their
guards get to thinking they’re too big
— well Tyrone (Ladson) plays preth
big. If they put Mike Young in there
— he’s about 6-4 — Sly (Steve Syles-
tine) should match up pretty good
with him. I think Sly could probably
handle Friess too,” said Metcalf.
“It’s not too bad of a matchup,"
says Metcalf.

The Texas A&V1 track team,
headed by coach Charlie Thomas
participated in the Sooner Indoor
Track and Field Meet last Saturday.
There were no points kept in the
meet, an invitational held in Okla
homa.
Billy Busch and Mike Glaspie
finished one-two in the 60-yard high
hurdles, and Kevin Stevenson came
in fifth in the 6-man final.
Kim Scott took second in the shot-
put with a career best throw of 62
feet, Vz inch.
Thomas said the team did well
without the services of four of its top
performers, Curtis Dickey, Jimmy
Howard, Leslie Kerr and Randy
Hall, who were in a meet in Madison
Square Garden in New York.
Thomas also liked footballer John
ny Hector’s performance in the long
jump. “Johnny didn't place because
he scratched on two tremendous
jumps that would have been around
25 feet,” Thomas said.
In women’s events, coach Bil
Nix’s squad won two events ani
qualified two performers for an i
coming national meet.
Qualifying for the nationals were
Iris Tipton who won the shot [
with a throw of 44 feet, and Jan Ches

ip, the high jump.
Paula Lake won the long jump
with a leap of 18-2.
