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.

THE BATTALION
Aggie swimmers
dominate action
at Arkansas
By JOHN CURYLO
Assistant Sports Editor
The Aggie swimming team set
Conway, Arkansas, back on its
heels Saturday, sweeping a meet
at Hendrix College.
Coach Dennis Fosdick’s charges
won eight of the nine relay events
and the only diving event. The
only “flaw” was the 300 yard
butterfly relay, in which the Ag
gies placed second, but still man
aged to break the meet record.
Fosdick said that the team got
its momentum by swimming a
4,000 yard practice the morning
of the meet.
“That really shocked everybody
else,” he said. “They were coming
into the pool after breakfast and
saw us swimming. From then on,
there was no way we were going
to lose.”
He added that there was no
rest for the meet. Thursday, the
day before the team left for
Arkansas, they swam 7,000 yards
in practice. He also said that the
team was swimming like they
would at peak performance, which
they are far from at this point.
“They look great for a young
team,” he said. “There was only
one senior, and the rest were
freshmen and sophomores. I’m
real pleased, and so are the boys.
This gave them a real boost. It’s
satisfying for them to know that
their hard work is paying off so
big.”
Fosdick said that it was a great
team effort, but he pointed out
several individuals as performing
extremely well. In particular, he
said that Steve Prentice, a fresh
man backstroker, swam his leg
of the medley relay in 55.9, which
is just a few tenths of a second
off the national qualifying time.
Also, it would be a new school
record, but there was no official
watch on him.
He mentioned Doug Carson in
the breaststroke, Mike Hicks, Eric
Wolff, and Kim Blakeman and
John McCleary in the sprints, as
being the outstanding individual
performers. Fosdick emphasized
that it was a team effort, and
that all did well.
Fifteen teams were in the meet,
and A&M managed to set two
pool and meet records.

Aggies roll over Cats
By CLIFFORD BROYLES
Battalion Sports Editor
The Texas Aggies, a team de
molished twice over the weekend
at the Bluebonnet Classic in
Houston, found themselves Mon
day night and blasted the Abi
lene Christian College Wildcats
91-74 in a game that was much
further apart than the score in
dicates.
Senior guard Bill Cooksey,
shooting only 31 per cent before
the game, hit on seven of nine
first half shots to propel the Ag
gies to a 43-26 half time lead.
Coach Shelby Metcalf used ev
erybody he had available and also
used a full-court press effectively
for the first time this year.
The Aggies shot 53 per cent
before intermission, and that
combined with an inspired de
fense helped them jump from an
early 8-8 tie to a 20-8 lead before
the Wildcats could score.
Cooksey finished the game
with 19 points and Wayne How
ard, a high school All-American
who had struggled in the early
stages o f his varsity career,
played a tremendous game, total
ing 13 points. But it w a s his
overall floor play that shined.
The Aggies took the lead for
good with 14:41 to play when
Chuck Smith, who had the best
half turned in by an Aggie
against Tulane, when he scored
10 points and grabbed 11 re
bounds in 17 minutes, continued

his fine play and scored after
taking an in bounds pass.
The Aggies then worked the
fast break as Pat Kavanagh
scored on a layup after a pass
from Cooksey. Cooksey upped
the lead to seven with a jumper
and Kavanagh got loose for an
other layup as Niles got the ball
quickly on the break after grab
bing a rebound.
Cooksey then hit again and the
next time he tried the Wildcats
fouled him to keep him from
scoring and he converted a free
throw to finish off the streak.
From there A&M broke fast
and pressed to their best effort
of the year by far. The lead
reached 21 points late in the half
as Jeff Overhouse converted a
three-point play after taking a
pass from Charlie Jenkins.
The lead scored to 27 with just
under nine minutes to play when
Rick Duplantis got into the scor
ing act with a couple of free
tosses.
The 17-point deficit the Wild
cats faced at the outset and the
end was the closest they were to
be in the second half to the red
hot Ags as Smith dVopped in two
field goals in the opening 28 sec
onds of the second half.
A&M’s performance was a far
cry from the weekend’s stay in
Houston and brought back the
optimism that had been dimmed
by the 1-4 start.
They now take a break for fi
nals before traveling to Tulsa
Dec. 23. They’ll play in the Poin-
