THE BATTALION
Swimmers upset SophomOrC ke\ tO
Hogs Saturday
came in in 6.4 or faster Satur
day at the 11th annual Fort
Worth Coaches Games.
Four runners stepped to a 6.2
in the prelims, including Ronald
Shaw of Texas Christian, Cole
man Thomas of Dallas Baptist
and Bernard Shaw of SMU, along
with Marvin Mills of A&M.
Brother Curtis had trouble
coming out of the blocks and
finished with a 6.4 time for the
final spot in the finals.
In the finals on Saturday
Curtis made it out of the blocks
okay and led the field through
out until Marvin came out of the
pack to make it a race near the
end.
Marvin was awarded the vic
tory and both were clocked in 6.2.
The Mills brothers also sparked
the Aggies to a win in the mile
relay. Marvin opened with a 49
and Curtis an anchor 47 as the
Aggies easily won in 3:17.5.
Texas Christian finished second
in the Jack Williams mile relay
which included only Southwest
Conference schools.
Skelly Strong picked up a
strong second leg for the Aggies
as he took the baton from Mar
vin with only a couple of yards
lead and stretched it to about
eight to ten yards before handing
to Willie Blackmon who ran his
quarter in 50.2.
Curtis coasted his anchor leg
after his closest pursuer Texas
dropped out because of an injury
to Bill Goldapp on the third lap.
In the high jump, the Aggies
also fared well with Ben Great-
house, the defending SWC champ,
and teammate Marvin Taylor, the
defending SWC runnerup, placed
second and third behind the prize
Oklahoma freshman, Johnny
Blakney.
Donny Rogers and Edgar Har
vey zipped to the finals in 7.6 in
the 60-yard high hurdles and
teammate Gary West failed to
make the final seven even though
he was clocked in the same time.
Harvey was disqualified for
beating the gun on two false
starts. There were four false
starts before that race got going
and when it ended, Rogers was
fourth in a time of 7.5.

An outstanding performance by
Steve Prentice, a freshman from
Houston, and the defeat of two
Southwest Conference teams were
the results of a double dual swim
ming meet Saturday at P. L.
Downs Natatorium.
Defeating Arkansas 70-43 and
Rice 108-9, the Aggies won their
second swimming meet in two
tries.
The highlight of the meet was
the swimming of Prentice, who
assured himself a spot in the
swimming nationals by setting a
new A&M school record and pool
record for the 200-yard back-
stroke. Winning in 2:00.4, Pren
tice set one of the fastest times
of the year recorded in that event.
Prentice also won the 200-meter
individual medley with a 2:05.0
for A&M and was on the winning
400-meter relay team which re
corded a 3:44.2.
Winning eight races, the Ag
gies were upset winners of the
meet. Arkansas was the favorite
coming into the double dual meet.
There were three teams, but each
team was competing against each
other team.
“We weren’t expecting to win
this one but we got some real
surprise times,” Dennis Fosdick,
A&M’s new swimming coach said.
Fosdick said that the meet was
actually closer than the score.
A&M won the 400-yard freestyle
relay which he expected Arkansas
to win. In the race, one of the
Arkansas swimmers missed his
turn and had to come back, allow
ing A&M to win with a time of
3:21.8 That made the final score
against Arkansas a 70-43 win.
Fosdick indicated that A&M
actually won the meet in the 1-
meter diving contest. Duncan
Cooper got a second place and
insured the A&M victory as Ark
ansas was favored for the top
two spots.
Winning races for A&M were
Eric Wolfe in the 200-yard free
style with a 1:51.6; Tom Sparks in
the 50-yard freestyle with a 22.5
and the 100-yard freestyle with a
50.3; the 400-yard freestyle relay
team and the 400-yard medley re
lay teams; Duncan Cooper in the
3-meter diving contest.
Gaining unexpected points for
A&M with outstanding efforts
were several swimmers. Dan Son-
nenberg took second in the 200-
yard backstroke and third was
taken in the 200-yard breast
stroke by Steve Sonnenberg who
added valuable points against
Arkansas. Others were Gordon
Taylor taking third in the 200-
yard freestyle and John McLeary
taking second in the 50-yard free
style.
Ag comeback win
By CLIFFORD BROYLES
Battalion Sports Editor
Just as he was leaving the
stadium to go to the dressing
room with his players following
Saturday’s game with Arkansas,
Coach Shelby Metcalf hollered at
Mike Mistovich of the Aggie bas
ketball radio network and said,
“Say something good about
Wayne Howard.”
That response was quite fit
ting, as Howard, who has seen
less action than any man on the
varsity with the exception of one
other man, had come off the
bench to score a career high 17
points in the Aggies’ come-from-
behind 87-83 victory over the
Hogs.
Another sophomore cohort, Jeff
Overhouse, had his best day as a
varsity eager in scoring a career
high 24 points on eight of ten
field goals and eight straight
foul shots and led the Aggies
with 13 rebounds. A&M held a
56-40 rebound advantage in the
contest.
Tonight the Aggies return to
action against the University of
Texas at Austin in a 7:30 battle
at Gregory Gym in Austin.
The Longhorns have based
their attack a lot on rebounding
this season and each team has
two of the conference leaders in
that department.
7-0 Steve Niles, with a 10.1
average, and Overhouse, with a
8.1, pace A&M’s 46.1 average re
bounds per game.
6-7 Lynn Howden with 11.8
and 6-10 B. G. Brosterhous with
9.9 are leading the Longhorns
who are averaging 48.9 rebounds
per game.
They picked up Jimmy Black-
lock, who successfully piloted the
offenses of Houston Yates in high
school and Tyler Junior College
for two years before joining the
Longhorns.
Blacklock is the team’s third
leading scorer and most steady
ball handler. He’s averaging 15.4
and was one of four Longhorns
in double figures against SMU,
when he scored 15.
Billy Black and Scooter Lenox,
who have connections with A&M,
are the other two backcourt men.
Black, the leading scorer with a
17.1 average, was a high school
teammate of Steve Niles on the
state championship at San An
tonio Lee their senior year.
Lenox, the brother of Long
horn freshman coach Bennie Len
ox, an A&M graduate and one
of the premier guards in the his
tory of the school, has just re
cently jumped into the starting
lineup.
The Aggies, coming off an
other tough floor performance,
found the Barnhill fieldhouse
goals to their liking as they came
from a six point halftime deficit
to win by four.
Late in the game, they never
figured they would lead in this
one.
A&M nipped the Hogs’ 48-41
lead at halftime to one, 75-74,
and had a chance to take the lead
for the first time since they led
5-4 when Arkansas missed four
shots while trying to increase
the lead.
The Aggies tried four of their
own and missed and then also
failed to negotiate on a one and
one.
Overhouse rebounded an Aimer
Lee miss and put the Aggies
ahead himself with a tipin with
3:25 left to play.
Howard hit again to quickly
make it a 80-77 game and the
Aggies begin to look like they
might have a win.
But eight seconds later Joel
Tabor popped a five-footer and
was fouled for what produced
the tieing three-point play.
A&M then rallied again to take
a three-point play as Overhouse
clicked on a three-point play.
The Aggie Fish meet the Uni
versity of Texas at Austin Yearl
ings in a 5:30 p.m. preliminary
game.
Netters beat exes;
play Houston next
Richard Barker Saturday ap
parently hadn't lost the touch
that made him a finalist three
straight years in the Southwest
Conference doubles finals, when
he defeated Aggie netter Jon
Ragland in straight sets to win
the only match the exes were
able to win at varsity courts.
The Aggie tennis team, which
opens its season Wednesday on
varsity courts against the Uni
versity of Houston at 1:30 p.m.,
won the match with the exes 8-1.
