The Bears went ahead 8-7 with about three minutes gone and from then on neither team could, manage more than a four point margin. The Bears held their largest lead 33-29 with seven minutes left to play in the opening period. Then A&M’s Bill Gasway hit three straight baskets to give A&M the lead they never lost. The second half was a different story, as the whistles were fewer and the teams took the play away from the referees. Lenox, Bill Robinette and sopho more Dick Stringfellow led the Aggies rally in the second half. Behind the shooting of Spencer Carlson, the Bears kept within reach of the taller Cadets until midway in the final period. The Aggies, almost playing the entire bench, finally widened their margin when Robinette hit a jump shot from the right corner and Lenox dropped in two free throws. Baylor was hurt when Ed Horne fouled out with eight minutes left in the game. Despite the high number of fouls, the Cadets lost only one player. Stringfellow went out with six seconds to play.

Curley Lenox scored 14 points for the Fish. UIL Protest Pro Grid TV AUSTIN (A>) _ The director of the Texas Interscholastic Lea gue said Tuesday that Friday night football telecasts could hurt the financing of public school athle tic programs. The director, Rodney J. Kidd, urged 700 school administrators to protest the recently announced contract calling for Friday night telecasts of National Football Lea gue games during the coming sea son. "The Friday night high school games represent a long tradition in the public schools and are their chief source of income for support of athletic programs,’’ Kidd said. “The commercial telecast of pro games are in direct conflict with this. Friday is the one non-school night available for high school games,” Kidd said. Kidd urged the administrators to protest to the American Broad casting Co., Ford Motor Co., the NFL commissioner and Texas con gressmen.

The Academy said Hardin, 36, signed a five-year contract which makes him both coach and special assistant to the assistant director of athletics. There was no announcement of how much he will make under the new contract, but it is believed to be in the neighborhood of $19,- 000 a year. The contract signing followed one of the Academy’s best sea sons. The Midshipmen won nine of 10 regular season games — in cluding that fifth straight over Army — and wound up second in the nation. This was followed by a 28-6 defeat at the hands of top-ranked Texas in the Cotton Bowl game New Year’s Day. “I’m very happy about the contract,” Hardin said. “There’s nothing much to say except that I’m pleased.” He said the new duties to as sistant to E. E. Rip Miller would primarily involve recruiting. But he said he will be concerned with all sports, not just football. “We are extremely pleased with the job Wayne Hardin has done both on and off the field since he first joined the football staff in 1955,” Capt. William Busik, di rector of athletics, said. Hardin, former College of Pa cific halfback, joined the Navy staff in 1955. He became head coach in 1959 after Eddie Erdelatz unexpectedly resigned. His teams have won 35 games, lost 14 and tied one.
