THE BATTALION
Spoiler Razor backs In Town Tonight

Arkansas, with no other role
left to play but spoiler in the
1970 Southwest Conference Race,
Comes to G. Rollie White Coli
seum tonight hoping to derail the
Texas Aggies’ four-game win
ning streak.
The Aggies added Southern
Methodist to their scalp belt Sat
urday night in Dallas, 84-81, to
extend their winning streak to
four, all in the SWC. They have
not lost a game since Feb. 7
when the TCU Horned Frogs
turned the trick.
The Hogs block the road with
another ‘must’ game for the
Cadets because they must win
the rest of their games to have
a shot at a repeat conference
crown. A&M stands 7-4 in
SWC play tied with Texas Tech
while the Rice Owls are still
holding a two game lead with
three to play. But the Owls have
the toughest schedule of the
three because they must play
both Tech and A&M away from
home and entertain tough TCU
too. The Aggies must polish off
Arkansas here, Baylor in Waco
on regional television next Sat
urday and host Rice in their sea
son finale next Tuesday.
The Razorbacks will bring an
unimpressive team record-wise to
College Station but that 4-17
mark is sprinkled with many

close losses and they hold deci
sive wins over both SMU and
Baylor.
The Aggies couldn’t completely
stop Gene Phillips, SMU’s an
swer to Pete Maravich, but did a
good enough job on his team
mates to escape Moody Coliseum
with an 84-81 victory. With
Chuck Smith and sophomore
Bobby Threadgill hounding the
Ponies’ ace, the Mustangs saw
their first half shooting perform
ance far below par at 36.9 per
cent and Phillips himself could
muster but three of 14 from the
floor.
Steve Niles handled the area
around the basket very nicely
with several tip-ins and key re
bounds and the Aggies shot out
to a nine point lead at 64-45.
But the Ponies wouldn’t roll over
and they scored nine straight to
tie it 54-54 with 10:01 left in the
second half. Threadgill became
the big man in the lineup as he
played inspired defense and did
his job on the boards. A thirty-
foot Threadgill shot with 6:03
left gave the Aggies a 68-63 ad
vantage but the Mustangs kept
pressing and' kept coming back
until they pulled within two at
74-73 with 2:52 left.
The last two minutes found
A&M protecting the ball and the
lead with Threadgill, Chuck
Smith, Pat Kavanagh, and Mike
Heitmann all sinking two free
throws apiece to keep the Aggies
ahead.
A noisy crowd of 6,600 kept
the Mustangs fired up for the
contest plus the fact they had
nothing to lose and everything
to gain if they should win. But
A&M displayed a balanced at
tack on offense with five men
in double figures and two others
just missing. Niles led A&M with
16 points and 14 rebounds, Heit
mann had 15, Bill Cooksey, con
tinuing his hot outside shooting
chipped in 13, and Kavanagh and
Threadgill both had 10. Smith
and Rick Duplantis each had nine
and Smith also pulled down 12
caroms as the Aggies tied their
season record of 61 rebounds.
The Razorbacks made the Ag
gies hustle for a 64-59 win in
Fayetteville in early January and
they will hit the court tonight
with three seniors who have
played together for three years.
6-3 Robert McKenzie, 6-5 James
Eldridge, and 6-4 Ricky Tannen-
berger are all three-year start
ers but their leading scorer is a
6-0 sophomore Aimer Lee, who
carries a 19.0 norm for the year.
The Aggie Fish, who are 8-1
for the season, host Christian
College of The Southwest, the
No. 4 junior college in the na
tion with a 27-4 mark. The 5:45
p.m. prelim will match the Fish
against a team that suffered a
113-98 setback to the A&M fresh
men last year.
Owls Hold Inside
To 9 70 Cage Title
By Clifford Broyles
Battalion Sports Writer
The Rice Owls who won their
first Southwest Conference bas
ketball championship in 1918 and
their last in 1949 have the in
side track to the 1970 title with
three games to play.
The Owls lead Texas A&M and
Texas Tech by two games, but
the schedule that remains could
leave either the Scarlet and
White-clad Red Raiders or the
Maroon and White of Aggieland
with at least a share of the title.
Rice must travel to the home
courts of both of its chief pur
suers before they can claim the
number one spot.
They visit Lubbock tonight to
battle Tech which has won ten
of twelve games in Municipal
Coliseum this season.
If the Owls should lose tonight
or Saturday in their final home
date with Texas Christian then
their battle next Tuesday night
with A&M could put the race in a
two or three way tie.
Tech and A&M both one loss
away from being knocked out of
the race have two of their re
maining games on friendly
grounds, but the Raiders will
have the edge when it goes on
the road playing Southern Meth
odist in Dallas Saturday while
the Aggies travel to Waco to
face the Baylor Bears.
