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. Or give us a call. In
the meantime, if you’re
looking for security, don’t
get close to a cop-out.

they managed four times, and the
Aggies had notched their second
consecutive SWC win.
Tech will invade G. Rollie
White for the 8 p.m. tip-off with
thoughts of a “must-win” on
their minds because to have even
a slim chance of challenging Rice
for the title, they can’t afford too
many more losses.

match but the Cadets stood up to
the challenge. After a few early
miscues by the Ags, the team
found the groove, constantly
broke for long scoring runs, and
at the half the score was 8 to 0.
In the second half, it was evi

scrum easily pushed the heavier
St. Edward’s scrum over the
field. Slick ball handling by the
Aggie backs gave the spectators
some thrilling moments.
Scorers in the match were
Andy Scott, Jon Farmer, Butch

The Aggies travel to Rice this
Saturday in search of another
shutout. Match time will be 3

in Houston.
The Aggies return to Kyle Field

In Overtime, 90-83

Saturday night in Daniel-Meyer
Coliseum.
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.
The salty Christians kept the
game close and led from time to
time by as many as seven points
in the first half.
Just as the Wogs would seem
to move out to a commanding
lead, the Fish would roar back be
hind baskets by Jeff Overhouse,
Mezger, Bill O’Brien, and Bob

lead.

Howard scored 13, O’Brien 15,
Gobin 13, and Charlie Jenkins
sank eight points in favor of the
Fish cause.
“Last week in College Station
the Wogs were afraid of us
(Fish) because we had beaten
Texas and Texas had manhandled
them. We were able to jump off
to a 10 point lead and hold it
through out the game, but TCU

the contest.

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.

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.
