Arkansas Here
By GARY SHERER
This is the age of sit-in’s, love-
in’s and laugh-in’s. The topsy
turvy Southwest Conference has
decided to add a new game; its
called the stay-in.
The Aggies will be playing the
new game tonight as they host
the Arkansas Razorbacks in an
8 o’clock tip off at G. Rollie White
Coliseum.
FOUR TEAMS (five if you hail
from Fayetteville) remain in the
now-tight SWC race. The Arkan
sas Razorbacks did not stay with
their second place pals and lost

THE BATTAUOK
Streak
to Southern Methodist, at the
Ozark bandbox.
The rest of first place Bay
lor chasers, the Aggies, Texas
Christian and Texas won their
games.
The most important of these
victories, was the 67-63 Saturday
afternoon Aggie victory over Bay
lor at Waco. Beating the Bears
at home hadn’t been done by five
other SWC teams to venture into
the Baptists home. The other
members of the deadlock, Texas
and TCU, beat Rice and Texas
Tech respectively.
NOW, WHAT WAS a safe two-
game lead for Baylor becomes a
very shaky one-game lead. The
Bears are now 7-3 while the Ag
gies, Longhorns and Horned
Frogs lurk menacingly in second
at 6-4. The Razorbacks are all
alone at 5-5 as is SMU at 4-6 and
Rice and Texas Tech are a frus
trated 3-7.
The Aggies are looked on as
the hottest team in the league at
present. A four - game winning
streak in the SWC is something
akin to a George Wallace-Stokley
Carmichael ticket.
Unlikely or not, the Aggies
have knocked off four straight
foes and tonight host the Razor-
backs, who still think, and rightly
so, that they still have a chance’
at the title.
Arkansas lost to SMU at their
Arkansas’ homeground Saturday
night in what turned out to be
a bad day for the home team. TCU
was the only home team to win
Saturday.
INCLUDED in the Razorbacks’
five conference wins is an over
time 75-70 victory over the Ag
gies at Fayetteville. The Aggies
then, will be looking for revenge
as well as their seventh confer
ence win.
Saturday afternoon before 5,000
in - person Heart - O - Texas Coli
seum fans and a large regional
TV audience, the Aggies whipped
the Bears with a hot-shooting sec
ond half.
The Aggies shot a torrid 71
percent in the second half as they
led for all but the first five min
utes of the second twenty minutes.
Baylor led at halftime, 33-30.
It was Sonny Benefield’s two
foul shots however, that finally
closed the door on the Bears, with
just three seconds to go. The
Sweeny junior since getting back
into the starting lineup, has added
more speed to the Aggies’ at
tack. It was this comodity, speed,
that licked the deliberate-style
Bears.
THE RAZORBACKS will hope
to stop the Aggies winning streak
with a predominently sophomore-
lineup. Arkansas is led by two
first-year men, 6-4 forward Rob
ert McKenzie and 6-5 center
James Eldridge. Second year head
man Buddy Waller’s charges

pressive 76-73 victory over the
