In Final
Minutes
An aroused Fish cage team
outscrapped the powerful Rice
Owlets in the first half, but
finally succumbed 63-71 to
the bombarding of Temple
Tucker last night in White coli
seum.
The Owlets’ 6-11 center pumped
in 31 points, high for the night,
and together with Tinker Wilson
controlled the backboards.
Tucker’s tip-in with 7:20 left
put the Owlets in front for the
first time in the final half. Tuck
er sat out more than five minutes
of the second half with four fouls.
The hustling Aggie freshmen
hit 15 of 17 free throws, and 11
of 22 field goal tries to lead at
half time 37-34.
Fast stepping Bryan Sutherlin
dropped in 17 points, 11 of them
in the second half, to lead A&M
point makers. He fouled out with
5:27 left in the game.
Guard J. C. Smith had his best
night of the season before fouling
out in the second half. He netted
14 points, his high for the season.
The Fish finished with a 7-5 sea
son record.

Hit Free Throws
By JERRY WIZIG
Battalion Sports Editor
A&M’s top three scorers got only 16 points between
them, and Rice dominated the backboards and the free throw
line to coast to a 67-52 victory here last night in the South
west conference and season cage finale for both teams.
Terry Telligman, 6-4 forward playing his last college
game, 6-6 junior Joe Durrenberg^r and 6-3 soph Fred Woods
swept off 45 rebounds, and the Owls plunked in 31 of 50
free throws to anchor the Cadets deep in the SWC cellar.
A&M finishes with a 1-11 conference record and a 4-20
season mark. The Cadets’ only league win was a 62-59 upset
of Arkansas here. Last night the Hogs beat TCU 110-89 to
give SMU the title. The Mustangs defeated Texas 93-80.
A&M hit 18 of 37 from the
field to Rice’s 18 of 71, but
was out jumped 58-37 in the
rebound department. The Ag
gies had trouble getting close-
in shots against the Owl zone de
fense but hit well from outside.
Durrenberger was high with 19
points and had 14 rebounds. Woods
had 14 and 13, Telligman 11 and
18. Guard Ted Harrod did a great
defensive job on all-conference
Monte Robicheaux and led A&M
with 13 points.
Forward Bill Brophy, A&M’s
leading scorer, got only eight
points. Center George Mehaffey,
who was averaging 13.7 in con
ference play, had five points and
fouled out with 11:32 to play.
Guard John Fortenberry, holder of
a 12.4 season average, scored three
points.
After Bob Gattis’ follow shot
tied the scoi’e 2-2 in the first two
minutes, A&M was never even with
the Owls. Six free throws and
Woods’ jump shot levered Rice to
a 10-2 lead with 12:48 left in the
first half.
Closest A&M came after that
was 8-12 after Mehaffey’s jump
shot and Harrod’s set shot and 12-
16 on Brophy’s one-hander with
eight minutes left.
Durrenberger then banked in a
free throw and a jump shot and
Telligman hit two layups for a 23-
12 edge. Rice built it to 36-21 at
the half and 39-22 in the first min
ute of the second half.
Then Fortenberry and Harrod
suddenly leveled their sights and
Gattis and John Henry made goals
to pull the hustling Cadets up to
40-49 with nine minutes to play.
A&M couldn’t make vital free
throws, however, and Woods laid
in a goal after David Coterill made
and missed a pair of free throws
to up the margin to 12. Rice went
on from there to an 18-point mar
gin—64-46—with two and a half
minutes remaining.
