When the Texas Aggies invad ed Municipal Coliseum in Lubbock two weeks ago, they were slightly intimidated by the large, noisy crowd of over 9,400, most of them yelling for Tech, and A&M fell, 84-66. Tuesday night the Red Raiders came to G. Rollie White and got the same treatment from an inspired student body and Tech saw their title hopes fade a little more as the Aggies won their third conference clash in a row, 82-74. The Aggies combined a fine outside shooting show with a magnificent performance at the free throw line to lower the Raid ers’ conference mark to 6-4, even with A&M. Pat Kavanah and Mike Heitmann wore the Super man suits most of the evening as they pumped in 19 and 24 points, respectively. Heitmann finished as the game’s leading point producer, including 12 of 13 from the free throw line and Kavanagh added nine of ten from the line and five of seven from the field. mum PRINTING orag'u’z&Mim'ix, Drag, ReprrHu. * on Divis.on of ^cwmon Printing Company 505 Church Street COtlEGE STATION, TEXAS 846-2157 302 West 28th BRYAN, TEXAS 77801 822-1518 QUICK - SHARP - THRIFTY iMJ Even conservative profs rebel against smear tactics on term papers.

A&M steadily built a lead on the shooting spurt of Chuck Smith and lengthened it to nine, 75-66, on a baseline layup by Bill Cook sey with only 2:51 left. Tech was really pressing at this point as the Aggies began to stall the ball. The Raiders were forced to foul to get the ball but Heitmann and Kavanagh, with ice water for blood at the line, made them regret it. The Aggies placed four men in double figures for the game with Heitmann’s 24 leading all scorers followed by Kavanagh’s JilM/OKS W 4 ’ S OpflOMORSS / make sure your picture will be in the 1970 AGGIELAND yearbook picture schedule FEBRUARY 16 - 20 FEBRUARY 23 - 27 MARCH 2-6 A - D E - J K - N O - S T - Z MARCH 9-13 MARCH 16 - 20 LIMITED MAKE-UPS MARCH 23rd - 31st CORPS JUNIORS: Uniform: MIDNIGHT SHIRTS PERMITTED CIVILIANS: COAT and TIE.

Bill Cooksey added 14 and Smith 10 as the Aggies connected on 27 of 52 from the floor for a 51.9 percentage. Tech started the game hitting well with an even 50 per cent but fell to a 45.5 with a 41.4 second half average. Low ery led Tech with 23. With big Steve Niles leading the way with nine, the Cadets outrebounded Tech 37-34 in a game that saw few missed shots. The Aggies now stand 6-4 in con ference play, tied with Tech and TCU for second, while the Rice Owls are perched on top of the race with an 8-2 mark after Tues day’s triumph over Arkansas. From the start of the game there seemed to be a rising tide of loud fans demanding outstand ing performances from the Ag gies and the Cadets didn’t dis appoint a soul. It started out as a low-scoring affair with a lot of fouling on both sides until Kavanagh got things rolling early for the Cadets with two beautiful assists and a couple of nice driving layups to send the Aggies to their biggest first half lead 21-16 with 9:38 left. But little Greg Lowery and lanky Gene Knolle kept peppering the net from the 20-foot-and-beyond area to keep Tech close and event ually combined to tie the game 28-28 on a steal-and-layup. Two quick Tech fast breaks yielded the Raiders a 36-32 bulge with 1:40 left and they managed to carry a 41-38 lead into the dressing room after a Heitmann’s turnaround jumper at the buzzer. In the second half, the Aggies calmed down a hit by letting Tech pile up the fouls and contented themselves to do much of the damage from the free throw line. Kavanagh finally got A&M the lead 47-46 by converting two charity tosses with 18:56 left in the second half and before he would miss another with 0:26 left, A&M would hit 20 straight from the line and 20 of 23.

Showers halted the Senators’ workout shortly after they had started. Frank Howard, Washing ton slugger, is still one of five Senators unsigned. 36 36 HOW IT FIGURES: Interesting statistics, right? Look at them one way, and you get 96. Look at them another way . . . long enough . . . and what you're likely to get is married. From that point on, you multiply. So do your responsibilities.
