“The Strange Case of the Silent
Clock” was performed before a
packed house in Waco’s Heart O’
Texas Coliseum last night with
the Texas Aggies getting knock
ed from the ranks of the unbeaten
66-65 by the Baylor Bears.
The loss by the Aggies threw
the Southwest Conference cage
chase into a two-way deadlock
for the number one spot between
A&M and Baylor, both with 5-1
marks.
With A&M leading 65-64 and
22 seconds remaining to be play
ed, Steve Niles fouled the Bears’
Larry Gatewood to set the usual
chain of events in motion. Gate-
wood missed his foul shot, a flur
ry of activity resulted with the
Bears getting off no less than
four shots from the floor before
the dust settled and a foul was
called on Mike Heitmann.
Gatewood again stepped to the
foul line for Baylor and 22 sec
onds again were left in the game.
A heated argument ensued be
tween the Aggie coaches and the
officials while 3 seconds were
run off the clock to “balance” it.
The 6-5 junior calmly sank both
ends of his one-and-one to give
the Bears their margin of victory.
At first the referees explained
that time out had been called
before Gatewood took his first
free shot and thus what had hap
pened after the miss was not
Nation’s Capital Abuzz As;
Grid Fans Await Lombardi
WASHINGTON hP> — The na
tion’s capital waited with excite
ment Tuesday for the inaugura
tion of the fierce, fabled Vince
Lombardi as pro football’s first
million-dollar coach.
The 5 billion dollar corporation
you probably never heard of.
Funny how big you can get and still
remain virtually anonymous.
Somehow we’ve managed to do it.
We’re a group of over 60 companies,
making everything from microwave integrated
circuits to color television. And we rank num
ber 9 in the top 500 corporations in the nation.
Pretty hot stuff for a nobody.
But though you may not recognize our
name, maybe the name Sylvania rings a bell.
It’s one of our companies.
You may even live in one of our telephone
company areas. We operate in 33 states.
So here we are, 5 billion dollars strong,
growing all over the place, and looking for
engineers and scientists to grow with us.
Why don’t you think us over with your
Placement Director?
Incidentally, we are known in the com
munications field as General Telephone &
Electronics.
Pssst. Pass it on.
The coming of Lombardi to try
and lift the Washington Redskins
out of long poverty in the Nation
al Football League was accepted
as a virtual certainty in the Cap
ital City even though the Green
Bay Packers had not yet released
their grip on the man who re
turned them to greatness.
Phones rang repeatedly in the
Redskins’ offices and fans buzzed.
A season ticket holder said, “How
do I feel about Lombardi? How
do you feel about God?”
The Redskins have tabbed Lom
bardi to be executive vice presi
dent, general manager, coach and
part-owner of the club.
But the inauguration—or per
haps coronation — was delayed at
least two more days while Packer
officials debated whether to bind
Lombardi to a legal commitment
not to become a coach for any
other team through 1974. The
Packers called a full board meet
ing in Green Bay for Wednesday
night.
Lombardi reportedly has been
promised a five per cent bloc of
Redskins stock at the discount
price of $500,000. Even at that
sizeable sum, he will be getting
stock which actually is worth
about twice that amount.
In addition to the stock bonan
za, Lombardi is to receive a long
term contract that could bring
him another half a million dollars
over the next five years.

really part of the game and that
he was really fouled just once.
They changed their minds after
the game, however, and said that
there really were two separate
plays with two separate fouls.
A&M came out strong to open
the second half and soon enjoyed
a 43-30 lead with 17:48 remain
ing to be played.
Baylor threw up a full court
press that forced the Aggies into
numerous turnovers and eventual
ly cost them the game.
“They killed our momentum
with that half court trap,” Coach
Shelby Metcalf said after the
game. “It’s a good press and they
did a good job with it.”
A&M had the better of all the
statistics in the game except
turnovers and the score. The Ag
gies outshot their opponents from
the floor 44.2-41.5, outshot Baylor
from the foul stripe 81.8-75 and
outrebounded them 40-32 but they
also committed 25 turnovers while
the Baptists had only 9.
The turning point in the game
may have come with 5:31 remain
ing to be played when Billy Bob
Barnett was called for charging
for his fifth personal foul. The
call changed a three point play
for A&M into a two point play
for Baylor to give the Bears a
62-59 lead. Even more impor
tant, however, the Aggies lost the
services of their top scorer and
second leading rebounder for the
remainder of the evening.
The game, which was played
before the largest crowd in the
history of the Heart O’Texas Col
iseum (8,500), threw the SWC
race into a mad scramble with
only one game remaining before
the mid-point.
Ronnie Peret and Heitmann
shared high-point honors for the
Aggies in the game with 18 while
Barnett contributed 16, Benefield
had 8 and Niles had 5. Peret also
led A&M in rebounding with 14
while Niles picked off 8 and Bar
nett had 6.
Gatewood led the Baylor attack
with 24 points and 11 rebounds
while Tommy Bowman tossed in
15 points and hauled don
caroms. Tom Freidman k
the Aggies from outside fe
points in the second half ak
ed the game with 19.
According to Coach I;
the loss will go a long «i|
“testing our courage.”
“It hurt them (the Aggie;
ers),” the Aggie head coatli
after the game. “It hurt
bad, but they’re good kiis

Straight, 79-77
Strong outside shooting by the
Baylor Cubs spelled defeat for
the Aggie Fish last night as the
Baptists eased to a 79-77 win.
The loss was the second in a
row for Coach Jim Culpepper’s
cagers and gives them a 4-2 mark
on the year.
Skip Carleton led the Aggies’
scoring with 26 points followed
by Jeff Watkins with 20 and Rick
Duplantis with 16. Watkins led
A&M’s rebounders with 13 while
Duplantis pulled off 10.
The Baylor freshmen were
paced by Pat Fees with 21 points
while Tom Stanton had 20 and
Scott McDaniel had 16.
The Aggie freshmen will try to
