Pag-e 4 College Station, Texas Tuesday, February 17, 1970 THE BATTALION Cop-outs have bad breath! Their personal habits are funky. They let other people do their work. If they have families, they let other people take care of them. They rap things like financial security. People with purpose can’t hack this scene. That’s why Provident Mutual made a life insurance program for college students. The earlier you start, the less it costs. And the closer you come to financial security. Stop by our office today.

The Wogs refused to play dead to the taller Fish as they battled them down to the wire of regu lation time with an 81-81 count.

Harold McMahan opened with a 48.4 quarter that was good for second place but a bad pass of the baton dropped the Ags to fourth. Marvin Mills sprinted his leg of the race in 46.5 and the Ag gies, who started that segment ten yards back of Villanova, had come to within a step or two at the handoff. Willie Blackmon ran the third leg in 46.2 as assistant coach Ted Nelson put it “He ran them into the track.” The Houston fresh man moved A&M to a ten-yard lead with only one lap to go. Curtis Mills, not resting on his world championship laurels, out distanced his closest pursuer, Vil- lanova's gold medalist Larry James, and ran a 44.6, one tenth of a second faster than his world record in the open quarter. The Aggies beat Villanova by about twenty yards Nelson said, and estimated James’ time at about 46 seconds. Nelson said he was both im pressed and surprised with the performance for the sprint med ley team of Steve Barre, David Dalton, David Morris and Dennis O'Brien. That team placed fifth in the meet with time of 3:25.2. Ben Greathouse placed third in the high jump with a leap of 6’8” and Ronnie Lightfoot tossed the shot put 56’10” for seventh place. Rockie Woods qualified for the finals in the 120 yard hurdles with a time of 14.1 but scratched from the finals because of an injury, Nelson said. S Neither team set the world on fire during the contest with hot shooting as the Fish zipped in 33 of 88 shots from the field for a cool 37.5 percent and the Wogs tallied on 31 of 90 field goal at tempts for a colder 34.4 percent. The Fish pulled down 16 more rebounds for a 76-60 edge in that department. The Fish had a chance to win it all with only seconds left as Overhouse went to the line with a one and one situation and the Fish trailing 80-81. Overhouse sank the first attempt to tie the score at 81-81, but the second at tempt bounced away to send the contest into an extra period.
