CC Meet Slated Coach Charley Thomas’ Aggies will host a cross-country meet Friday at 4 p.m. The tri-meet will match A&M’s cross-country team against Texas and Baylor. These days, it takes a little cour age to wear this button, and yet what’s so great about cop-outs? They let other people do the work. If they have families, they let other people take care of them. Cop-outs scoff at things like finan cial security. Responsible men and women can’t afford that luxury. That’s why Provident Mutual designs life insurance programs specifically for college people. Because the ear lier you start, the less it costs, and the closer you’ll be to financial security. So stop by our office today. Or give us a call, and let’s talk about all this. In the meantime, here’s a thought to take with you. In trouble . . . whoever yells for a cop-out? ’ 4* •i | ? ? Vt il Gordon B.

But a few plays later, a break for the Cubs came about when a Tiger punt snap went over the head of Leroy Clark and they recovered on the Tiger 19. Three plays later, Nutt hit Ira Newsome with a pass in the end zone for the score. The extra point was blocked for the second time and the Cubs led 12- 0. The second half saw the Tigers come out clawing as they mount ed a drive from their own 27 and marched to a score in just eight plays. Richard Marshall darted across for the score from 25 yards out with 9:01 left in the third quarter. Rob Schleider’s try for the point was wide to the right and the score was 12-6. A tenacious Tiger defense led by Stan Pantel came back to harass the Cubs, twice taking the ball away to stop Brenham drives.

Bears Ruin Ags, 10-9 By JOHN PLATZER Battalion Sports Editor With the frantic homecoming crowd of 40,000 looking on, the Baylor Bears rose from the depths of 10 straight losses to knock the Aggies out of the Southwest Conference champion ship race 10-9 Saturday night. The loss dropped the defend ing SWC kings to 2-4 on the season and 1-2 in the conference. Baylor, whose losing skein was started against the Aggies in College Station last season, is now 1-4 for the season and 1-1 in SWC. No team in SWC history has ever taken the league cham pionship with two defeats. With quarterback Edd Hargett pinpointing his passes, the Aggies seemed to be moving toward the winning points when a fumble dashed their hopes for the third time this season. A BAYLOR field goal was wide to the right as the Aggies took over for their last posses sion of the night on their own 20 with 2:45 left in the contest. After two straight incomple tions, Hargett found Tommy Maxwell, Barney Harris and Dave Elmendorf on three strikes to move the ball to the Baylor 47 with 1:45 left on the clock. Two more passes then fell incomplete before Elmendorf latched on to an eight yarder. The Aggies called time out as they faced their toughest situa tion of the night, fourth and two at the Baylor 39 with only 67 seconds showing on the clock. Hargett calmly tossed a seven yarder to Wendell Housley to give A&M a first down at the Baylor 32. After throwing out of bounds to stop the clock, the Aggie world turned upside down just as it has in the midst of a come back in each of their four losses. HARGETT spotted Harris down the middle and rifled a pass that Harris caught and raced to the Baylor 15 where he was tackled and lost control of the ball- Steve Lane, the Bear safety, pounced on the fumble to assure John Bridger’s team a victory with only 33 seconds re maining. The Aggies were the first team to get on the scoreboard in the game when Charlie Riggs booted a 27-yard field goal in the first quarter to give the Cadets a 3-0 edge. THE BIG PLAY of the drive which started at the Aggie 35 was a 19 yard keeper by Hargett that put A&M on the Baylor 15. Three plays got only 5 yards for the Cadets from there, how ever, as they settled for the field goal. Baylor jumped into the lead in two quick plays after recovering a fumble late in the first quarter. Steve Stuart, the quarterback who has given the Bears new life since becoming the team’s starter against Arkansas, hit Gary Alex ander for 36 yards and then con nected with Mark Lewis for the remaining 19 yards and the touch down. The Bruins added to their ad vantage on their first possession of the second half with a 21 yard field goal by Terry Cozby to up the score to 10-3. HARGETT threw while in the arms of a Baylor tackier for a 11 yard gain to Maxwell and then came back with a 13 yard strike to Maxwell to give the Aggies a first down at the Baylor 21. Elmendorf then hauled in a Hargett aerial for the touchdown to narrow the score to 10-9. The snap on the extra point from Mike Caswell flew over Curley Hallman’s head to deny the Ag. gies the point that would havi tied the score.
