BEASLEY SURROUNDED BY HOGS . . . but Aggie scoring champion still sinks basket attempt. Big Beas Gets Standing Ovation As Recard Falls By GERALD GARCIA Battalion Sports Editor FAYETTEVILLE, Arkansas— There were nine minutes and 29 seconds left to play and John Beasley had just registered his 37th point against the Arkansas Razorbacks. Now he only needed one more to tie the Southwest Conference per game scoring average. Seven teen seconds later the big 6-9 giant from Linden-Kildare sank a free shot and Dick O’Neal’s 11- year-old record of 30.2 was tied. If Beasley could hit just one more point he would add another record to his long list. But for the next four minutes, Big John could not find the range. He attempted five jumpers from the left wing and all were short of the mark. Then with 5:54 showing, the Beas sank a 25-foot attempt and O’Neal’s record was shattered. Beasley made good on four more free shots to end the night with 44 points, a career high and a new Barnhill Fieldhouse record. As Beasley strolled to the bench after registering his fifth foul with 41 seconds to play, the 5,000 fans gave the Aggie scoring champion a standing ovation. “Records are not important right now,” Beasley said after the game. “All I want is for Tech (Texas Tech Red Raiders) to beat SMU and give us a chance for the championship.” As it turned out, SMU beat the Red Raiders, 99-89, and the Ag gies fell to Arkansas, 94-71. The SMU win gave the Ponies the conference championship and the Aggie loss pushed them to second place. “I really felt we could win the title,” Beasley commented. “I thought all along we were going to take it, but I guess we reached our peak too soon.” What does Beasley want to do now that he has played his last game in an Aggie uniform? “I want to play pro ball, but I don’t yet know who will draft me if anybody does. “If I get drafted and get a good offer, I will more than likely sign.” Beasley praised Aggie Coach Shelby Metcalf and his team mates for the good season he en joyed. “If it hadn’t been for them, I wouldn’t have had the season I had.” Beasley played his last game for the Aggies Thursday night, but his last was probably his greatest.

The triangular affair pits A&M against the Rice Owls and the Texas Longhorns be ginning at 2 p.m. After rain cancelled dual action against Baylor last Saturday, the Aggies look for hair-splitting 1 competition from the Owls and the Sips. “There’ll be some good races,” commented Coach Charles Thom as. “Texas is much improved over the teams they've produced in the last few years. They have some good distance men back—especial ly Richard Romo. Romo was spiked early last sea son and never ran in top condi tion. In two gatherings between these three squads, Texas wound up low on the totem pole both times. Rice won both meets last year before racing to the winner’s circle in the Southwest Confer ence Meet in Austin. “Rice should be considered the favorite Saturday,” noted Thom as, “but whoever is in the best shape will win.” A&M will commence the sun shine circuit without the services of two top point-producers from ’65, James White and Randy Mat- son. White, the sparkling sprint er from Dallas Sunset, succumbed to grade points and no longer attends A&M. Matson, the world champion shot putter, traded the iron ball for a starting berth on the Aggie basketball team—at least for the first part of the season. But the slack should be lessened by an Aggie surprise, Alfred Cilio, who came out for the team after two years as a regular student. Cilio anchors a 440-yard relay team capable of victory. He assumes the iron-man role for A&M, performing in the 100 and Aggie Swimmers Entertain Texas Here Saturday 220-yard dashes and the broad jump in addition to his relay duty. The top sprint man for the Ag gies is Gil Smith, who claims the favorite role in the 100 and 220. But the nail-biter should be the 440-yard dash, where Jimmy Ellington of Rice, Steve Langham of Texas and Larry McGough of A&M are all quality runners. McGough showed his stuff while winning the 600-yard run in the Dallas Indoor. Matson’s absence throws the shot put into a scramble between George Resley and Toby Belt of Texas. Resley defeated Belt in the Fort Worth and Dallas In door Meets but only slightly. In the high jump, conference champ Mike Schrider of A&M rules the roost. Ag Dan Meadows also claims a SWC title in the javelin, but needs a supreme ef fort to defeat Ricki Jacobs of Rice. Several meet records could bite the dust. Pole vaulter Mark King, second last year in the SWC Meet with a 15-8 leap, will take aim on the old mark of 15-6. Smith, with a 20.8 in th e220- yard dash, will battle Ellington’s 21.3. And Schrider's 6-6V4 in the high jump gives reason to antici pate better than the 6-6% stand ard. FRANK J.

The elder Ags took the hindmost Monday night, losing 53-41 to Eastern New Mexico State. Jerry Keating and Jim Hooten led the A&M cause, with Keating winning both the 133-yard indi vidual medley and the 100-yard freestyle, while Hooten copped first in the 50-yard freestyle. The Aggies could win only one other event, the 400-yard free style relay. Tom Holder, John Wood and Jerry Patterson teamed with Keating to take it.
