200-yard breast stroke. 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.”
