Round-Up
The intramural story for the week:
In Class C basketball, four games were played follow
ing the two-week holiday period, Moses Hall downed the
Lions in the toughest game of the day, 42-39. Both teams
were undefeated and this victory put Moses only one game
away from the title in their league. Stan Hessburg lead the
winners with 14 points and Jack Sweeney poured in 23 points
in a losing cause for the Lions.
Fowler finished the regular schedule on a winning note
by posting a 35-22 victory over the AYI to finish with a 4-1
record. However, Moore Hall is undefeated in the league
thus far so it looks like Fowler will wind up in second place.

Monaco II pisked up a forfeit to remain unbeaten in
their league and Croker also received a win by forfeit to
boost their record to 4-0.
In Class A basketball, G-l rolled to its third straight win
by defeating A-l, 32-23. Dave Greathouse led all scorers

themselves to hold on for their second win of the year. Both
teams finished with 2-3 marks for the season.
In Class B handball, the playoffs will begin Wednesday

The Aggies were forced to
withstand a torrid last minute
surge by Texas Tech to record an
85-84 victory in their first South
west Conference game of the sea
son last night in G. Rollie White.
With just 60 seconds left in
the battle the Aggies, who led by
18 at one point in the second half,
held a 10 point edge at 84-74. As
a crowd of 4,125 watched, the Red
Raiders began their desperate
rally on a pair of free throws by
Steve Hardin and then Hardin
connected on a short jumper 10
seconds later to make the score
84-76.
After a 15-footer by Tech’s
Clay Van Loozen and two free
shots by Steve Williams, the Ag
gies’ lead was suddenly cut to
84- 80. Bill Cooksey, an Aggie
sophomore from Houston, scored
what proved to be the winning
point, connecting on the first of
a one-and-one foul situation with
only 28 seconds remaining. Wil
liams hit on a pair of drives for
Tech to bring the final margin to
85- 84.
The Aggies had trouble at the
foul line in the latter portions of
the contest as they missed on one-
and-one situations four straight
times after opening up their 18
point bulge with 7:38 left.
Harry Bostic, the Aggies' 6-6
senior forward, found the range
from outside in the game to pace
the scoring with 21 points. Bos
tic hit on 9 of 13 from the field
and hauled in 9 rebounds. Ronnie
Peret paced A&M in rebounding
with 10 and added 20 points as
he connected on 9 of 12 from the
field.
Balanced scoring was again in
evidence in the game for the Ag
gies as three others scored in
double figures. Sonny Benefield
contributed 12 points while Billy
Bob Barnett had 11 and Mike
Heitmann added 10.
The Red Raiders placed four
players in double figures with
Hardin leading the way with 20
while Van Loozen had 18, Wil
liams had 14 and Mike Oakes con
tributed 10. Sophomore Jerry
Turner paced Tech in rebounding
with 10 while Hardin pulled down
9.
Coach Shelby Metcalf’s cagers
outshot and outrebounded their
opponents but numerous f 1 o or
mistakes make the score close.
The Aggies had 17 turnovers in
the contest while the Red Raiders
were close behind at 13.
A&M outrebounded their short
er foes 49-46 and hit on 34 of 60
attempts from the floor for 56.7
per cent while Tech connected on
33 of 78 for 42.3 per cent.
The lead swung back and forth
in the game for the first six min
utes, but when Heitmann hit from
the corner to give A&M a 9-8
margin, the Aggies were never
passed. Sloppy floor play by both
teams kept the score close
throughout the initial half.
A baseline jumper by Barnett
gave the Aggies a 19-13 with
10:40 left in the period, but Tech
stormed back to knot the count
at 29-29 with 4:01 remaining.

The Aggies once again in
creased their lead to six at 35-29
but the Red Raiders tied it up
at 35-35 with 1:02 left in the
half. A&M scored the last four
points in the period on a jumper
by Bostic and a pair of free shots
by Heitmann to take a 39-35 lead
to the dressing room at halftime.
Opening the second half strong,
the Aggies rapidly built their lead
to 45-35 with the first six points
of the period. The teams then
traded points until midway in the
half when A&M hit another hot
streak.
Three straight buckets, two by
Peret and one by Bostic upped
the home team’s lead to 62-46
with 11:11 remaining. With

Mike Heitmann goes high over the outstretched hand of
Tech’s Jerry Haggard to nurse a 15-foot jump shot into the

Illegal Payments To Athletes
Is Said To Be On Decline
LOS ANGELES <A»> —The
president of the National Colle
giate Athletic Association said
Tuesday that talk of under-the-
table payments to athletes and
other abuses in college football
are largely folklore and on the
decline.
“For the first time in my
memory we have no cases before
the council this year,” said Mar
cus L. Plant, University of Michi
gan law professor and faculty
representative, completing his sec
ond year as head of the NCAA.
“I don’t mean that everything
is hunky-dory, but our investi
gating machinery has been so
thorough and the discipline has
been so severe that I think most
colleges who might even be in
clined to take a gamble are afraid
to do so.
