Godot, Apdo. 479, Cuernavaca, Mexico BILLY BOB BARNETT, who entered the game with a 19 points per game average, led the Aggies with 26 points while Ron nie Peret contributed 21 and Son ny Benefield and Harry Bostic each had 10. Barnett, a 6-5 senior from Brenham, hit on 10 of 14 shots from the field and pulled down 8 rebounds as A&M out- rebounded their opponents for the fourth straight game, this time 57-41. Peret, who connected on 9 of 12 attempts, paced the Aggies with 12 rebounds while Bostic grabbed 11 and 7-footer Steve Niles had 6. Rounding out the Aggies’ scor ing was Bill Brown and Heit- mann with 9, Cooksey with 7, Niles with 5, Roddy McAlpine with 4 and Chuck Smith with 1. Brown, a junior from Galveston, came off the bench to spark the Aggies in the first half as he hit on 3 of 4 long shots from the floor. LOUISIANA TECH was paced in their scoring by George Corley who poured in 35 points. Charles Bishop, the Louisianans 7-0 cen ter, was next with 22 while Kil gore Junior College transfer Tom Farrell ended the game with 11. Corley was deadly accurate in the contest as he connected on 14 of 24 from the field. Bishop topped his team in rebounding as he dragged down 9. Bishop sank a short jump shot to score first points in the game and send the Louisianans out front early. A Peret layup tied the score before a Bishop tip sent the visitors into a 4-2 lead. That was to be the last time A&M was to trail in the contest, however, as Peret once again knotted the count on a layup when Bishop was called for goal-tend ing. The score was tied at 5-5, 7-7, 11-11 and 13-13 before the Ag gies took command for good with 13:36 remaining in the first half on a free throw by Niles. A free toss by Brown gave the Aggies a two point lead and then after Bud Dean hit from the charity stripe for Louisiana Tech, Peret upped the margin to 17-14 on a layup. THE MARGIN began to in crease steadily then until with 11:06 still remaining in the half the Aggies held a 21-16 lead after a 19-foot jumper by Brown. The lead grew to 7 on a short jumper by Barnett and then to 10 at 31- 21 when Bostic connected from the baseline. A layup by Barnett with 5:19 showing on the clock in the ini tial half gave Coach Metcalf’s cagers their biggest margin of the period at 37-22. Tech began to fight back at that point and narrowed the count to 44-36 be fore the Aggies ended the half with a 49-40 advantage. A&M started fast in the last half and was soon sitting atop a 16 point advantage at 70-54 Fish Drop For Third Cards, 70-64, Straight Win By RICHARD CAMPBELL The Texas Aggie Fish contin ued in their role as dragon slayers Thursday night by dealing the previously unbeaten Henderson County JC Cardinals their first loss of the season, 70-64, in G. Rollie White Coliseum. The Fish derailed the Cardinal express after they had knocked off seven straight foes. The Cards count the Houston freshman, Bay lor Cubs, Hill County JC twice, and Navarro JC twice among their victories. The Fish have now won their first three games, beat- TCU the ing Wharton JC, 72-68, freshmen, 81-59, and no^ Cards. Jeff Watkins, a 6-4, 200-pound high school All-American from Moselle, Miss., continued his as sault on the scoring books as he ripped the net for 31 points, the highest single Fish performance of the year. Big Rick Duplantis, a 6-8 center from Groves, con tributed 22 markers to the Fish cause and also dragged down 13 rebounds.
