Did you ever wonder how
Andy Rooney views A&M?
iholo by Di'i
next ha I
Every Suntlay when I turn on the tube
and watch 60 Minutes, I can hardly wait
for the end of the show and “A few mi
nutes with Andy Rooney” — what a joke.
Rooney’s “did you ever wonder” bit is
getting a little old.
Did you ever wonder what Rooney
would have to say about Aggieland athle
tics? What would he have to say about
ackie, Shelby, Tom Chandler and the
[Twelfth Man?
Let’s pretend.
A FEW MINUTES WITH ANDY
ROONEY ON AGGIELAND:
“Did you ever wonder if Jackie Sher
rill owns a sports coat in a color other
than maroon? Or, have you ever won
dered if Sherrill’s wife still remembers
hat he looks like after Sherrill’s seem-
igly endless recruiting trips? Did she
[throw a coming home party on Feb. 9
[(national signing day for recruits)?
“And did you ever wonder if the Uni-
ersity of California is going to break in
he 12th Man kickof f team next year with
mother 5-lateral kickoff return like they
lid to win the game against Stanford this
ear?
“And have you ever wondered if Shel-
jy Metcalf is really smiling when he sits
m the Aggie bench with that sheepish
in on his face? If not, what does he look
ike when he does smile? Or have you
ver wondered if Metcalf would do a re-
erse slam jam thank you ma’am if he
ad springs for legs like Lowell (‘boy how
love to slam’) McHenry? Or would he
xecute to perfection the one-foot-on-
the-ground-I-don’t-care-if-its-boring
lay-up.
“And have you ever wondered if all
those Aggies in G. Rollie White Coliseum
are really reading The Battalion when
the opposition is introduced, or are they
just looking for pizza coupons?
“Or have you ever wondered if Reveil
le had a reason for doing her deeds at
mid-court during half-time of the Hous
ton game? Was there an underlying mes
sage to be learned from her escapade?
“Did you ever wonder how Houston
head coach Guy Lewis would have
reacted if he had seen the incident?
Would he have scoffed at Reveille — or
would the incident have brought
thoughts of the UPI pollsters to his
mind?
“Or did you ever wonder how baseball
coach Tom Chandler learned how to
whistle so loud? Does he have whistling
practice while his players are having bat
ting practice? And exactly how much of
Olsen Field is watered with water and
how much with chewing-tobacco spit?
“Have you ever wondered why more
Aggies don’t go to home baseball games?
Is it possible that the baseball team is
neglected because there isn’t a 10th Man
tradition at Olsen Field similar to the
12th Man tradition at Kyle Field.?
“Why doesn’t someone start a 10th
Man tradition? And ifthereisa 10th Man
tradition started at the ball park, what
would we do during the seventh-inning
stretch? Will it be called the seventh
inning sit?
“Did you ever wonder if we would
have a 12th Man tradition at all if E. King
Gill (original 12th Man) would have
made it into the game and fumbled?
“And what about the women athletes
in Aggieland? Did you ever wonder how
tall the men are that date players from
the Aggie Lady basketball team? Why
don’t they play basketball?
“Have you ever wondered how athletic
traditions will change in the future as the
University increasingly grows liberal?
Will we have to change our “Farmers
fight” yell to “Radicals romp?” And will
of Army come to be known as young
preppies? Who’ll work on the bonf ire —
redpots or pink Polos?
“And did you ever wonder if this col
umn was ever going to end? Well, you
can stop wondering.”

HOUSTON —Junior pitcher Greg Brinkman
Fired a two-hitter and rightfielder Dan Larson
capped a nine-run fourth inning with a three-run
homer in the second game Tuesday for the Uni
versity of Houston, which swept a doubleheader
from Mary Hardin Baylor, 6-1 and 1 1-0.
Brinkman walked three and struck out five. In
the fourth inning, leading 2-0, the Cougars sent
14 men to the plate and battered three Crusader
pitchers.
With one out, leftfielder Gary Wright walked,
then Mark Massey doubled him home and moved
to third on Billy Savarino’s single. Steve Seberger
bunted Massey home with the Cougars’ fourth
run before Larson took Crusader pitcher J.D.
Meeker’s first pitch deep over the leftfield fence
to give Houston a 7-0 lead.
In the first game, Cougar pitcher Aty Garcia
threw a four-hitter and struck out 10 batters for
his First victory of the season. The big blow of the
game came in the sixth on a Savarino pinch three-
run homer off Crusader Doug Delany.
Houston improved its record to 6-0 on the sea
son, while Mary Hardin Baylor dropped to 3-10-
1.

HOUSTON — Portland guard Jim Paxson led the Trail Blazers
and Saiurjo a j 13.107 victory over the Houston Rockets late Tuesday, but he
ace HardiaiH it was team play that allowed him to chalk up 28 points.
■“This team makes sure I get the ball in the right places. If I move
and get open, they give me the ball,” he said.
“For a player like Paxson to be ef f ective, the rest of the offense
^ to move the ball to him,” said Portland Coach Jack Ramsay.
jPortland took command of the game on a 12-4 spurt at the start
of the third period, and Paxson was in the middle of that rally,
accounting for four points on two jump shots.
[■ Mychal Thompson, who scored 22 points, hit three buckets
during the surge.
■The victory was the Fifth straight for Portland. It was the sixth
ri s^n rjOnsecutive loss for Houston, even though the Rockets shot a hot 85
percent in the second period.
■ Allen Leavell keyed the Houston offense, connecting on 8-of-9
1 shpts for 16 points in the quarter. He finished the night with 30
*(l III P ()mts an H eight assists.
RAt one stretch in the First half, the Rockets made 22 consecutive
field goals, the longest string in the club’s history, but Ramsay said
that did not slow the Blazers.
M“We are playing very well,” Ransay said. “Even though they
