Cagers Premiere in Midnight Scrimmage
By KIM JINDRA
Special Winer
Remember the old saying, the early
bird catches the worm?
That is what Head Basketball Coach
Bill Blakeley will be trying to do when he
begins basketball practices with an in-
trasquad scrimmage at the earliest time
possible, one minute into Friday at 12:01
a.m.
"I just couldn't wait, I had to get the
jump on everybody else," Blakeley ex-
plained about the early hour Tor prac-
tice. "I thought that nobody had ever
done anything like this before until one
of my assistants told me Maryland did it
last year."
HE ADMITS that although he is exci-
ted, some of his players are a little upset
about the early game. "I think it's neat,
but I think some of my players are a lit-
tle mad at me," he said.
The NCAA doesn't allow basketball
teams to begin practice until Oct. IS, but
they don't say what time the workouts
can begin.
Blakeley, in his second year as coach
for the Mean Green, took the Eagles to a
22-4 record last season which was the
best in school history, the sixth best in
the nation and the best for a team not
invited to a post-season tournament. In
addition the Eagles registered a 16-game
made NT the most improved team in the
nation last year. Blakely said he
realizes a repeat of last year's record will
be a hard thing to accomplish, especially
since the schedule is more demanding.
"I sure like the thought of repeating
our performance last year," he said. "If
we do, we will be playing twenty-seven
Division I schools so the NCAA can't
use our opponents' status against us.
This year they will have to choose us on
the basis of our record and not in a
smoke-filled room process like they did
last year."
SEVEN LETTERMEN will return
from last year's squad. Walter (Weasel)
Johnson, Houston senior, and Norvell
Miles, Dallas senior, played guards last
season. Melvin Davis. Greenville jun-
ior, and Kenneth Williams, Dallas jun-
ior, filled the center slot. Fred Mitchell,
Amarillo junior; Waymond Lister, Dal-
las sophomore; and, Paul Tedder,
Richardson senior, played forward last

Four rcdshirts from last year's squad
will be playing for NT this year. Danny
Kaspar, Corpus Christi junior, and Lar-
ry Spruiell, Petrolia junior, will play in
the guard position. Craig Smoak,
Brooklyn, N.Y., junior, and Mike Phil-
lips Camas, Wis., junior, will be in at
forwards.
Newcomers to this year's squad will
be Charles McMillian, Dallas junior;
Roy Taylor, Anderson junior; Ke
Robinson, Paris freshman; and, David
Adkisson, Denton freshman.
McMillian, a 6-3, I90 pound junior,
transfered from Tyler Junior College
where he had a 22.5 average last year.
TAYLOR PLAYED for Vincennes
Junior College in Indiana where he aver-
aged 22.4 points for two years.
Robinson and Adkisson will be the
only freshman to join this year's squad.
Robinson played high school ball at
Paris North Lamar, averaging 21.6
points and IS rebounds per game.
Adkisson was a letterman in both
basketball and football at Lake Dallas.
He also plays wide receiver at NT.
Blakeley plans to divide the squad
into teams for the Friday morning
scrimmage. The green team will consist
of Johnson, Davis, Talor, Smoak, Miles,
Spruiell, Robinson and Phillips.
The white team will have Mitchell,
Williams, Lister, McMillian, Kaspar
:<
and John Manning, a redshirt out of
Oklahoma.
TERRY BAILEY and Carl Jones,
who graduated last year, will be hard to
replace, but all the positions are up for
grabs this year, Blakely said.
"Just because somebody started last
year, that doesn't mean they will start
this year, they're going to have to prove
themselves all over again," he said.
Blakeley said it might take a while for
the younger players to get used tohis run-
and-gun type of basketball, but they
show a lot of promise for the future.
He said he is excited about the return
of dunking to the game because it
adds so much excitement. "The game
should be a lot more exciting this year
because we have a bunch of guys who
can really dunk the ball down the
basket," Blakeley said.
BASKETBALL FANS can get a pre-
view of the Mean Green if they can stay
awake in what Blakeley calls a "mid-
night movie" by coming to the scrim-
mage. It is open to the public.
The first game is at home Nov. 29
against Centenary. Then comes the first
round of the Show Me Classic against
St. Louis on Dec. 3. Indiana and host
Missouri meet in the other opener.

The referee signals for a jump ball during
Michigan's victory over Wichital State, 74-73, in
last year's first round of the Midwest Regional
NCAA Playoffs. The Mean Green, depite its 22-4
record, was not invited. Coach Blakeley has
"beefed up" this year's schedule to avoid any
"smoke-filled room" decisions against the teams
participation in the tournament.
SWC Kickers To Invade Fouts
Bv MARK G. BURROWS
Daily Reporter
The soccer team plays Southwest
Conference (SWC) members TCU
Saturday and UT-Austin Sunday. Both
games begin at 2 p.m. at Fouts Field.
The TCU Horned Frogs come to
Denton after being defeated by NT,6-1
in Fort Worth, last month. TCU, a
membe; of the Texas Collegiate Soccer
League (TCSL), is not expected to pull
an upset over the Mean Green.
NT defeated the Longhorns in 1973
for third place in the TCSL cham-
pionship tournament while competing as
a club sport. Last season NT defeated
the Horns in the semifinal game of the
TCSL tournament before defeating the
University of Houston Cougars for the
state title. The Longhorns still compete
as a club sport while NT competes as a
varsity sport in the Midwestern Division
of the National Collegiate Athletic As-
sociation (NCAA) in addition to its
TCSL. membership.
NT leads in total statistics over its op-
ponents this season. NT has 62 goals to
its opponents' 12, 43 assists to 10 for the
opposition, 68 saves on goal to its oppo-
nents' 162 and 167 points to 34 for the
opponents.
NT is ranked sixth in the Midwestern
Division of the NCAA out of fifteen
teams. The ratings do not include all
teams in the division. The Oct. 6
regional soccer ratings put NT in
fifteenth place. The l-I tie with No. 4
Quincy College of Illinois and a record
of five shutout games out of twelve
played keep the Mean Green, with a 10-
l-l record, in the running for a national
soccer title.
Both games will be broadcast on
KNTU-FM (88.5) beginning at 2 p.m.
each day.
Four shutouts and two narrow wins
marked Tuesday's intramural flag foot-
ball action.
Zeta Tau Alpha held Alpha Delta Pi
12-0 in the women's division with a 79-
yard run by Gwen Pruitt. A second
touchdown was scored when Carla
Barnes ran back a 40-yard interception.
Other women's play included a win
for Clark I over the Pi Beta Phi Packers,
18-0.
Crumley women dealt the Delta Zetas
a 14-0 defeat, while Maple squeezed by
West 13-12 with the effective combina-
tion of Maple quarterback Debbie
Berberick and receiver Patsy Aldrete.
In the men's play, the Phi Kappa
Sigma team lost a close struggle against
the Phi Kappa Thetas with the final
score slated at 19-18.
The fourth shutout of the day was
against the Sigma Phi Epsilon team by
Omega Psi Phi; the final score was 12-0.
PEP RALLY
Today's pep rally for Saturday's NT-
West Texas State game will begin at 6:30
p.m. on the east side of Kerr Hall,
cheerleader Valerie Troilo, San Antonio
junior, said.
The Mean Green Dollies will be per-
forming in their new uniforms at the pep
rally.
RECEPTION
The Alumni Association is hosting a
pre-game reception Saturday at 5 p.m. in
Amarillo in the Amber Room of the
Travel Lodge Motel, 2035 Paramount
Tony Gustwick, director of alumni af-
fairs, said the reception will be held in
Amarillo instead of Canyon, the site of
the NTSU-West Texas State game,
because of a lack of facilities in Canyon.
"All alumni, students and other Mean
Green fans are invited," Gustwick said.
"It's the ideal place to meet friends
before the game and get to know other
NTSU supporters."
The reception is the fourth sponsored
thus far this season by the association.
Other receptions are scheduled on the
weekends of the New Mexico State and
Louisiana Tech games.
WOMEN'S \ OLLEYBALL
The NT women's volleyball team will
host an invitational tournament Oct 22-
23. Deadline for team entries is today,
according to Dolores Copcland, as-
sociate athletic director and women's
volleyball coach.
