Texas A&M took another step in their onrushing better-late- than-never drive for the South west Conference crown with a 72-60 win over the Arkansas Ra- zorbacks, their fifth straight. The conference leader, Rice, faltered as predicted, 78-66, in Lubbock against Tech, so that puts the Ag gies behind the wheel but not quite in the driver’s seat with two games remaining. Saturday, they must polish off a dangerous Baylor team, picked to win the race but now out of it, and next Tuesday the Aggies must face the Owls in what could be the show down match. They are still tied with Tech for second with an 8-4 mark. Arkansas proved to be more of a chore for the Aggies than most predicted but A&M was playing with one ear tuned to the clash in Lubbock. Balanced scoring again kept the Cadets in the game along with their usual tenacity on the boards. Aimer Lee, a 6-0 sophomore, did most of the damage for the outmanned Hogs gunning in nine of 16 from the floor and totaling 20 points to lead all scorers. Pat Kavanagh carried much of the A&M load in the early going as he drove three times in the first seven minutes to keep the Razor- backs from concentrating on big Steve Niles inside. Ricky Tannenbergers’ two long jumpshots kept the Razorbacks close to the Aggies 23-17 with 7:10 left in the first half but at this point A&M’s long range gunner, Bill Cooksey, got rolling. He combined with Niles and hustling Chuck Smith to boost the Aggies’ lead to 12 at the break, 34-22. Arkansas came back strong in the second half determined to whittle the A&M lead and they did frequently to as close as three or four points. They cut the lead to three, 59-66, with only 3:55 left in the game but fouled trying to get the ball and the Aggies were deadly from the free throw line to squelch the comeback. A frosty Aggie shoot ing streak helped the Hogs in their effort but it fell short when Niles finally got a tipin to start the scoring machine in the latter part of the game. Bobby Thread- gill also contributed another fine performance as he hit a clutch shot with 3:27 left to give the Aggies a 61-56 lead. He then went down the floor and got a big rebound after a Hog shot and after Arkansas’ James Eldridge fouled out, he got another key rebound to keep the Aggies in control. Kavanagh, with a guady six of seven from the field, and Mike Heitman each led A&M with 15 points while Smith added 13, Cooksey 11, and Niles 10. A&M also outrebounded the shorter Hogs 53-43 with Smith getting 13 and Niles 11. The Aggies finish ed with a 46.7 shooting percent age on 28 of 60 while Arkansas converted 24 of 64 for 37.5. Nei ther team did well at the charity stripe with the Aggies hitting 16 of 28 and Arkansas getting 12 of 24.

(Photo by Mike Wright) Aggie Wrestlers Tumble LeTourneau College, 30-20 The A&M Wrestling team ex tended its undefeated season last weekend by beating LeTourneau College of Longview, 30-20. The Aggies took a substantial lead in the first three matches, winning by forfiet in the 118- pound class. Mike Snyder and John Paul Jones, 126 and 134 pounds, respec tively, won their matches by pin and gave the Aggies a healty lead of 15-0. But the Ags had bad fortune in the 142-pound class, losing by pin. Gary Leverett (a senior) de livered the fastest pin of the match in 1 minute and 25 seconds. Andrew Beck, the team’s cap tain, was taken down in the first period but came back in the sec ond with a strong pin, making the team score 25-5. Ellsworth Watts was a last minute addition to the Aggie squad in the true tradition of the Twelfth-man. Ellsworth, how ever, was pinned and David Heri* zik, at 177, was also pinned. The team score was now 25-15 and it RESULTS T.A.M.U LeTourneau 118—Terry Pritchard ... ...forfeit none 126—Mike Snyder pin Henry Leuben 134—John Paul Jones . pin Dwain Morrison 142—Randy Best D.

This was supported by the first period of A1 Leski- nen’s (190 pound) match where Leskinen fought for some time to stay off his back. However, by the middle of the third period where Leskinen was penalized a point for unnecessary roughness while executing a takedown, it was evident that this match and the meet would be won by A&M. Mark Anthony, also a last minute fill-in, was pinned. The final score was 30-20. The Aggie wrestlers meet t.u. in Austin this Saturday and here on March 14. By Clifford Broyles Battalion Sports Writer With 47 seconds to play, the Texas Aggie Fish down 88-87, called time out and went to their bench to plan the strategy that would bring them either success or failure. When they resumed the Aggies worked the ball around and with 11 seconds left Jeff Overhouse banked in a fallaway jumper from about five feet directly in front of the basket and the Fish had a hard-earned 89-88 win over the nations’ third ranked junior col lege Christian College of the Southwest. Steve Davidson, one of the most highly rated junior college players in the country, proved his worth with a great display of accuracy on his bank shots driv ing across the lane. The 6’8” sophomore from New York scored 27 points and grabbed 17 re bounds to lead the powerful Tro jans. CCSW shot a very warm 58.5% from the floor in the open ing half to take a 53-48 lead at the break. At one stanza in the half the Trojans scored on eight consecu tive times down the floor hitting on seven straight field goal tries and then when they finally miss ed they connected with a free throw. The visitors from Dallas found the going rough in the second half as they scored only six points in the first six and one half minutes before regaining their first half form. The Fish took advantage of the 1 lapse to tie the score at 59-59. The Fish then took the lead at 63-61 when the battle turned into a seesaw affair. The two quintets traded buckets and the game was knotted at 81-81 with 5:30 to play. Charlie Jenkins aided the Fish surge with a pair of long jump ers that put the Aggies up by four, 87-83. The Trojans came back on a free throw by Ray Golson, who scored 25 points, and cut the margin to a point on a pair of charity tosses by Ulysses Floyd with 1:44 to play. The Aggies went down the floor but failed to capitalize when Bill O’Brien missed a free throw and Christian College took the re bound. Golson tried the shot from about 20 feet but it bounced high off the back of the rim but Jim Robeson a 6’5” freshman from Era, Texas was there to put the rebound in and Aggies were down from then until Overhouse con nected with the winner. Gobin led the Fish with a sea son high of 30 and Wayne How ard scored 19 and Overhouse was the Fish leading rebounder with 15 tossed in 12. Jenkins and O’Brien scored 10 and Bryan Mezger scored 8 to complete the total.

We’ve never announced a car at this time before. But then nobodyk ever announced a car like this before. Super Hugger If it were an ordinary sportster, we’d have intro duced it at the ordinary time. Instead, we took the time to build a whole new Camaro. We started with a sleek new shape and a low road- hugging stance. And added more hood. A faster fastback. Wider doors. And new deeply contoured bucket seats. The instrument panel wraps around you. With enough dials to make you think you’re piloting a 747. , There are four transmissions. And six power plants J up to the Turbo-Jet 396 V8 that you can order. Pick the one that best suits your driving. Then go pick on an open road. And make it one with plenty of twisting turns. Because Camaro has a remarkable new suspension. And standard front disc brakes for a leech-like grip on the road. New Camaro. The Super Hugger. Other sportsters always feared it might come to this. And they were right. Only their tim ing was wrong. Putting you first, keeps us first. See it. At your Chevrolet Sports Dept. MARK OF EXCELLENCE Camaro Sport Coupe with RS equipment.
