The Aggies have been successful this year in taking the opposition out of its normal game plan. They slow down the tempo, but not the excitement. They did it to Oklahoma, Texas and Houston and have been in each of those games right to the very end. Now, to think that A&M could ac tually beat the Razorbacks would be like saying a small NAIA college by the name of Chaminade could topple a No. 1 and Ralph Sampson- led Virginia team, so we won’t even entertain the thought. But getting back to the point, if we honesdy want a recognized basket ball program, it’s got to start with fan support. It’s going to look awfully funny in three or four years with about 2,000 people in that big, new coliseum to watch a basketball game. Even more sad, would be when the Ice Capades came to town and outdrew our NCAA Division-I basketball team. In most sports, athletes that trans fer from one school to another have to sit out a year before regaining their eligibility. But, in NCAA baseball, athletes that wish to transfer must obtain a release of their scholarship and the approval of both coaches to transfer without losing eligibility. Hickey said that he was able to gain a release from the OU after five weeks of trying. One of Hickey’s coaches in sum mer baseball told him that A&M might be interested in him. “They had a great reputation and a great tradition,” he said. “I feel un lucky that I had to switch universi ties, but I am lucky I got the oppor tunity to play for two Division I schools.” Hickey said he knew he was going to A&M two weeks before the fall se mester began. Once at A&M, Hickey said he no ticed the academics were much tougher and his teammates ap proach to the game was different. “The attitude of the players is a lot better than at Oklahoma,” Hickey said. “At OU, it is a lot more laid back. “It took me a while to adapt to it.” Now that he has had a chance to play at Olsen Field, Hickey has no ticed than the fans are a lot differ ent. “I’ve never played in front of fans that rag like that,” he said. “The fans make it great.” Hickey did not have much of a chance to impress the A&M coach ing staff in the fall because he broke his index finger the second week of practice. But, he did not let the injury dis courage him. “It did not depress me at all,” he said. “I was glad I broke the finger in the fall instead of in the spring.” Now, the only thing Hickey is thinking about is this weekend’s se ries at LSU. “I am looking forward to it be cause it is going to be exciting,” he said. “Not many teams get to play the No. 1 team in the nation.” A After a 5-12 start, A&Mhas.fc two of its last five games.
