The young son oif the head cage mentor swam a 2:36 to lead the four- man pack the entire race. Georjge Dieck finished third in the same event. Usinjg his son Van in the 440 free style, the “ole man” had to think fast and instead of using young Adamson in the final re lay event, he substituted him in the 440. Leading all the way, and never getting into serious trouble, Van Adamson swam an easy 5:25 to use up his nights eligibility, pull ing the score up to 31-37 with the Aggies behind six points. Coach Adamson and the scream ing Aggie supporters finally re laxed as the last exent brought victory to the team and relief to the frenzied crowd. -BASKETBALL- (Continued from Page 3) his free shot, Baylor could cer tainly have Ntallerf with the hall for 81 second*. But he missed. Then the cool, calculating Bears held the sphere, waiting for the final second* of play before takirig a desperation shot. Howard Hovde, who hid taken the place of injured Bill Hickman, found the ball in his possession with five seconds to go. He took a two-handed shot at the keyhole, ^nd the ball fell short by two feet as regular playing time expired. \ Cadets Score Early The Aggies scored early in the overtime when Wally Moon made a lay-up after taking a bullet pass from Bill Tumbow, who found him alone under the hoop. Heathington inveigled a foul from Turnbow as he meshed an other left-handed hook-shot, but he failed to make the gift-tbss. McDowell caused Bill Brack to foul out when the Amarilloan drove for a basket, v A&M moved into the, lead, 50-49, with his free-shot. Heathington made a right-hand shot and was fouled in the pro cess, the score now standing at 50-61 with less than three min utes to play. The De Leon Bruin stepped to the free-throw line but missed the free throw only to fol low up with a short jump shot, giv ing the Bears a three-point lead. Bear Lead Vanishes Garcia ripped the cords with another set-shot, and Davis sank a beautiful right handed hook shot to place the Farmers back in command, 54-53, with two min- uies and six seconds left. The score remained at 54-53 un til the final 49 seconds when Mc Dowell was charged with scraping against Gerald Cobb along the sidelines. Cobb tied the score and it seemed certain that Baylor would freeze the ball again. ■ | However Heathington had a per fect chance to give hi* team a two-polnt lead, but he missed an easy lay-up shot, He Immediately plucked his miss off the hack- ooarda but was charged with walk ing after returning to his feet— now only 18 seconds were left In the contest. At this point Mike Gnrrla wns forced to leave the lineup because of a charley-horse. The Payoff It was up to the Aggies to hold the ball for 18 second*, and this they did. With three seconds left, the hall wns slipped to McDowell who carefully eyed the hoop from 35 feet out. He lofted the ball toward the basket as the clock hand swung past the two-second maYk^w^Syery fan breathlessly watched the flight of the sphere, for in this one shot rested A&M’s chances of winning the game. The ball split the net, A&M had won — and pandemonium broke loose as the scoreboard flashed the Aggie score up to 56—two points better than the Bears’ 54.

Dallas, Tex., Feb. 13 —Jack Gray, University of Teka* basket ball coach and chairman 0$ the NCAA Regional Basketball Selec tion Committee, said Friday he definitely favors a playoff to set tle the question of j which team will represent District jSit in the NCAA Regional Touriiament next month at Kansas City. “I am certainly ip favor of a playoff,” Gray said here on the eve of his team’s meeting with Southern Methodist University. The Houston Post had quoted Gray as implying hp favored the University of Arizopa 'as the' dis trict’s representativje | without a playoff with the Southwest Con ference Champion. | Arizona is in the! Border Con ference; This conference and the Southwest Conference are in Dis trict Six. “I may not have I made myself too clear on that point," Gray said of the Post Story. “I don’t say I was misquoted. But I would like to say now that I definitely favor such a playoff.” , (Sports Editor's Note: Below is the original release to which Gray was referring when he “clarified his ideas on the playoff.) Houston, Feb. \ 9—— The Houston Post tonight quoted the chairman of the SouthWest NCAA basketball' selection committee as saying there may be no sectional playoff this year fqr the national tournanient. Jack Gray, hegd basketball coach at the University of Texas, told the Post by telephcne he per sonally favors the University of Arizona representing! the South west. j Gray had been aikdd about the chanees of the Univgniity of Hour- ton, New Champion* of 4h# Gulf Coast Conference, qualifying for un NCAA playoff.! Houston has a record of 14 vic tories rtml six do fen tit. Gray [was quoted by the Post as saying “It would bo difficult for the University of Hjoujiton to part icipate )n the NCAA elimination* this yettf ” Gray added: “Arizona would get my vote right nOw to represent the South west iri the regiopol tournament in Kansas'City. There doesn’t ap pear to be any need for a playoff in the Southwest. “Of course, I might! be outvoted. “There are two othfer members of the selection committee. “I don’t think any Southwest Conference team, op the Universit of Houston, has a good enougl record to make a playoff with Arizona necessary.” -AGGIES MEET- (Continued from Page 3) ten days with an injured knee.
