Like Coach LaDeil Andersen says: Never have I asked a ballplayer to do so many things. But rarely has a player been able to do so many things so well. Halimon leads the Aggies in every statistical department except field goal percentage and he trails by just a shade there. Of course, his scoring prowess is well known. In 45 career gRmes for USU, Shaler has scored 1,112 points for a 24.7 career average. In 19 games this season, he is aver12th In the aging 26.3 Bill says that physically and mentally hes never felt better about golf. Cant beat the situation, either! Maybe his putter has helped. Bill has convinced me, among others, that hes after being named the the worst putter in golf best for many years. So I asked Bill about his worst putting stroke. Its repaired, Bill said.

He says this is his favorite tournament If they ever set up a pro division, Bill might not like it as well. But its kind of regal for the man to take time off from his golf schedule to participate in the program. Against Brigham Young Thursday night, Halimon passed Troy Collier on the e USU scoring and now stands In fifth place. At his present pace, he will probably become the third most prolific scorer in Aggie history behind Wayne Estes and Cornell Green. But the top two played three years and Shaler has played but two. In 45 games, Halimon has scored over 20 points in 32. Hes been in the 40s twice, the 30s 10 times and 20s 21 all-tim- times. And on and on. But Its the other things that astound you.

Every Aggie opponent gears its defense to stop him. He has been two and three timed most of the year. It has not been easy. His year has been shrouded in ambivalence. There are those Aggie fans that have booed him on occasion as he dribbled endlessly looking for an opening. They have said that he hogs the ball, but Andersen has said that this is his plan. It seems fitting to honor Shaler with an Ev Thorpe drawing just before the annual outing against Utah in Salt Lake City. Shaler says his best game as an Aggie was in the Ute fieldhouse last year when he scored 38 points and snared 16 6 rebounds in the upset live. ic ABC has the exclusive rights Olympics and plans to offer most events on tape In the evening.
