Paced by Dick O’Neal’s 30 points, the TCU Horned
Toads hopped past A&M last night, 91-67, in a Southwest
Conference encounter at Fort Worth.
The Aggies meet Rice here tomorrow night in White
Coliseum in their final home appearance of the season.
Game time is 8 p.m.
O’Neal who broke the TCU 4 "
all-time scoring mark in the
game, brought the Froggies
from behind and put them
ahead for the first time with
seven minutes left in the first
half.
He has now scored 1,135 points
in less than two seasons play. The
former holder' of the school record,
George McLeod, registered only
1,124 points in three full seasons.
The loss gave the Aggies a 3-7
slate in SWC games, and allowed
Baylor to pull into a fourth place
tie with the Cadets. The Horned
Frogs now own a 2-9 record.
A&M SNATCHED THE opening
tip-off and quickly pushed ahead
| in the see-saw first half. Bill
Brophy sank a jump shot to open
the night’s scoring. The Aggies
pulled away to a five point lead
on Ken Hutto’s set shot minutes
later, their biggest lead of the
game.
O’Neal tipped a stray TCU shot
through the hoop at 6:58 to push
the Froggies ahead for the first
time, 30-28. George Mehaffey who
led the Aggies in rebounds in the
initial period, fouled out at the 4:57
mark.
THE FROGS LEFT the court
at half-time leading by only two
points, 39-37. But sparked by

O’Neal and Jim Swink, who count
ed 19 points, TCU began to pull
away and jumped to frequent
leads of 15, 17 and 20 points.
Brophy led the Cadets in scor
ing with a high of 17 points. He
was followed by Hutto with 14 and
John Fortenberry and Don Bil-
brey.with 10 each. Bryan Suther-
lin, who played only the final
eight minutes of the contest, drop
ped in seven for A&M.
So far this season the Aggies’
famous 12th Man has been worth
at least 20 points to them. A&M
is winless on the road, and in its
last outing against TCU, won 84-
74 at College Station.
