WHITE’S AUTO Bryan and College Station 822-3867 — 846-5626 Aggie Five Tops Rice, 75-66 By GARY SHERER It was a case of the worm turning Tuesday night as the Ag gie basketballers knocked off Rice at Houston, 75-66. In the Aggies’ last home game, against Baylor, they were victims of a cold shooting night. Last night, before 5,000 screaming Autry Gym spectators, the Owls tasted some of that “cold turkey”. THE RICE shooting woes plus some all-around aggressive play by the Maroon and White led to the Aggies’ third conference win of the season. The result ties the Owls and Aggies at 3-4 in the Southwest Conference race. The first half saw the lead change hands eight times as the Aggies could not put enough together to pull away from the poor - shooting Owls. Reserve guard Oliver Biggers, 6-2 sopho more from New Braunfels helped the Aggie cause in the first twen ty minutes with some heads-up play. Biggers plus the scoring of Mike Heitmann and Ronnie Peret wasn’t enough to offset the bas kets of the Owls one-two punch of Larry Miller and Greg Wil liams. Miller and William had 30 of Rice’s 34 first half points as the Aggies took a slim one-point lead to the dressing room at half time. WITH TWO minutes gone in the second half, Miller put the Owls into what turned out to be their last lead, at 37-36. At this point, Johnny Underwood put the Aggies ahead to stay with seven quick points. Sandwiched in-be tween Underwood’s scoring was two layups by Peret as the Ag gies outscored the Owls 12-2 dur ing this streak. For the rest of the game, the Aggies’ balanced scoring kept the Owls down as only Miller could find the basket with any regu larity the rest of the way. Wil liams was held to one basket in the second half by the guarding of Sonny Benefield and Biggers. A BIG REASON for the Ag gies keeping the lead in the final minutes was the aggressive re bounding of Billy Bob Barnett. Barnett, 6-5 junior from Brenham, pulled down 11 rebounds in the second half with most of them coming in the last five minutes of play. This coupled with his 9 of 10 from the free throw line kept the Aggies out in front. Peret led the Aggies with 19 and Underwood, Barnett and Heit mann chipped in with 12, 11 and 10 respectively. Miller scored a season high 28 for the Owls and Williams had 21. The varsity game was preceded by a SWC freshman clash be tween the Texas Aggie Fish and the Rice Owlets. The Owlets grabbed a close 63-58 decision. HIGH FOR THE Fish was Chuck Smith with 15 while Dar rell Halloran led Rice with 14. The Fish, who are now 4-3 on the year will next meet the Texas Shorthorns Saturday night in the pre-lim of the Aggie-Longhorn clash at G'. Rollie White Coliseum. Coach Shelby Metcalf’s 9-8 son. A big turnout like last Sat- charges will be looking to make urday will definitely aid the ef- it two wins over Texas this sea- fort. BILLY BOB BARNETT OLIVER BIGGERS SWC Roundup Ski Controversy Starts Olympics GRENOBLE, France <A>> _ President Charles de Gaulle beamed with pride as the Winter Olympics opened Tuesday, and Games’ officials were even hap pier later in the day after eras ing a ski controversy that had threatened to reduce the Games to mini-Olympics. Shortly after 60,000 spectators in Grenoble and an estimated 60 million television viewers in the United States and Europe heard de Gaulle proclaim the Games open and watched Alain Calmat light the Olympic flame, the Uni ted States di’opped the opening match of the hockey competition, losing to Czechoslovakia 5-1. MORE SIGNIFICANT for the Games, however, was the com promise reached several hours later between the International Olympic Committee and the In ternational Ski Federation in the ski-trademark controversy. The IOC, which had wanted all manufacturers’ names removed from skis of competitors, ruled skiing would remain in the Gre noble Olympics but that no skier would be permitted to show any trademarks on his skis at the end of a run. The decision appeared to be acceptance by the IOC of a com promise formula proposed by ISF to leave the trademarks on but to make sure the skiers do not display their equipment to photo graphers and television cameras. THE IOC IS opposed to skis bearing trademarks because it feels this practice is a commer cial exploitation of the Olympics. The compromise eliminated the possibility of the ski events being crossed off the Olympic program and being reduced to world cham pionships. Skiing represents the backbone and much of the glamor of the Winter Games and its elim ination from these Games would have damaged both the prestige and interest in them. MARC HODLER of Switzer land, president of ISF, said any skier defying the new rule would be disqualified. Aside from the opening cere mony, Tuesday’s Olympic schedule was light. The U. S.-Czechoslovia hockey match was first, and it got the games off to a clean start. Only four penalties were called in the game, three against the Americans, but the U. S. team was not happy, feeling that the referee kept the game in too tight a rein and never let the players cut loose. Doug Volmar, an engineer from Minneapolis, scored the only U. S. goal, tying the game 1-1 at 16:22 of the first period with an assist from Larry Pleau of Boston. WACO, Tex. — Baylor dominated the last half to beat Texas 74-58 behind Russell Kib- be’s 24 points Tuesday night and remain in first place in the Southwest Conference basketball race. The Bears roared back from a 35-32 halftime deficit and won going away before more than 6,000 fans — one of the largest crowds ever to see a basketball game in Waco. Texas committed 19 turnovers to contribute to its defeat and a great guarding job on Billy Arn old, the conference’s leading scorer, by Bob Porter was an other important factor. Arnold was held to eight points. In/the last five minutes Baylor stalled for a minute and a half when Texas couldn’t even touch the ball. Gary Overbeck was the leading scorer by Texas, flipping in 14 points. Larry Gatewood scored 15 for Baylor. Baylor ran its conference rec ord to 6-1 and Texas dropped to 4-3. Arkansas, beating Texas Tech 61-56, moved into second place with a 5-2 record. In other conference action, Texas Christian ran over South ern Methodist, 91-64 and Texas A&M topped Rice 75-66. As mentioned, Baylor now leads the league at 6-1 with Arkansas next at 5-2. Texas and TCU oc cupy third with 4-3 marks while Texas A&M, and Rice are tied for fourth at 3-4 and Tech and SMU bring up the rear at 2-5 and 1-6.
