, . ;,;V- Ikii! Fish crush BU Cubs What promised to be a close ball game in the first half, turned into a run-away as the Aggie Fish took the second half tip off and built a 19-point lead, as the Baylor Cubs were defeated 83-72 here Saturday night. Thd Fish completely dominated the backboards, holding a 62-32 edge as four of the five starters had 10 or more rebounds, with walk-on Mark Stewart leading all rebounders with 14. The Fish hit 29 of 63 from the field for 46.0 per cent while the Cubs hit only 24 of 66 for a cool 36.4 per cent. All five starters were in double figures for the Fish, with play- maker Bobby McKey leading the team with 20, followed by Joe Arciniega with 19, Johnny Mayo with 16, Randy Knowles and Mark Stewart each with 10. David Wallace of Baylor took the game’s scoring honors with 32, 14 points above his average and a season high, while help came from the Cubs’ leading scorer, Lee Griffin, scoring at a 27.7 clip, with 23. McKey opened up the game with a 20-foot jump shot which began a series of shots that would either change the lead or tie the game up for the first 11 minutes of play. With 9:06 left in the first half, the Cubs took the lead and built up a five point margin which held for the next three minutes. Jack Vest then hit a layup with 5:50 left. Another layup this time from Mayo, built the largest lead by the Fish in the first half at three. The Cubs fought back and took the lead once again 27-28 with 3:20 to play. From then on, the game was nip and tuck with each shot again tying or changing the lead, with the Fish taking a 35-33 lead into the dressing room. In the first half, the game was tied 11 times with the Cubs leading nine times and the Fish leading 10 times. The second half was controlled by the hot shooting Fish, as they hit 16 of 30 for 53.5 per cent from the field to only 10 of 37 for 27 per cent, for the Cubs. A&M opened up their half time lead and slowly built it into a 19 point margin, 75-56, with 3:19 left. At this time coach Jim Culpepper began to substitute freely. It was during this time, a minute and a half, that Griffin began to score as he was accustomed, as he scored six quick points before Culpepper put the first team back into the ball game, to halt the Cubs’ rally at 79-68.

The Owls won nine of the 111 events, but in four of A&M’s»i: ning events, Rice was blank These were the javelin, the l|i| yard dash, and both the mile 15; the sprint relay. Curtis Mills ran a 46.2 ancli leg in the last event, the miles, lay, to give the Aggies the St! He took the baton about fin yards behind Chip Grand jean, tc he finished ahead, having passt him on the final curve. High point man for the mat was Rockie Woods, who got points with a first in the22()ii a time of 21.6, a second in the ID yard high hurdles in 14.1, jw barely behind Jack Faubion' Rice, and the anchor leg of 4t winning sprint relay which wn timed at 41.2, nearly onefullset ond ahead of the Owls. Pohs were awarded on a 5-3-1 basis fit individual events and 5-0 forth relays. Several A&M football playtn participated in the meet. Pii ably the most pleasing perfom- ance for Coach Charlie Tho® came from James Dubcak, filliif in for Marc Black in the javelir. Black was attending his mother'; funeral. Dubcak, using only 1 three-step approach, won tie event with a heave of 186' 1\\ beating Kris Johnson, who place! second for the Aggies, by mon than 20 feet. “I think James deserves a let of credit,” Thomas said after th meet. “He has great potential ! was real pleased with him an! all the other football players utie participated for us.” Other gridders in the meet were Clifton Thomas, who was a star weightman in high school, ail Eric Elkins. Thomas took thir! in the shot put with a toss ol 50’11%”. However, he scratch on a throw that could have wot the event. Elkins was third in the broad jump, leaping 21’0!4". The Aggies got a first in the mile run from Frank Ybarbp,tlie cross country trackster who was running the race for the firsttime in competition. He finished witl a 4:14.2. Ybarbo also placed thini in the three mile run, which came only 40 minutes after his victory in the mile. “I’m real proud of him,” Thonv as said. “He did a good job in the mile, and I can see he’s goia? to help us out this year.” The Aggies performed without the services of Marvin Mills, win has been sidelined with a pulleJ hamstring, suffered in the Hous ton Astrodome two weeks age Curtis was in fine form, though In addition to his dramatic win ning leg in the mile relay, he also took first in his speciality, tic 440 yard dash, running a 41.2, and defeating Grandjean, tic same Owl he passed in the final event. He also was the secoul leg of the sprint relay. This gave him IVz points for the day, since he only ran one individual event although he came up a winnei three times. Rice’s Dave Roberts clearei 16’6%” to win the pole vault but A&M’s Harold McMahan was second at 16’0M>”, his first li foot jump in competition. Another pleasing event for the Aggies was the 100 yard dash. Although the Aggies officially placed 1-2-3, * boy from A&M beat the winner. Billy Porter, a junior college transfer, was not eligible in tic event, because he is a transfer but he ran in the meet without his time counting. He finished ahea! of Steve Barre and Donny Rog’ ers, both 9.8, and was clocked in 9.7. This was disappointing to him, though, since he thought he could do about a 9.5. “All in all, I was satisfied,' Thomas said. “There were sonic events that I thought they’d win, and some I thought we could take. But I did feel that one team or the other would win the meet That mile relay sure was excit ing.” The squad travels to Laredo next week for the Border Olyn 1 ' pics, the first big outdoor meet of the season. The performance there should indicate whether the Ag gies can repeat as Southwest Conference champions. Eilers prints on display Texas A&M Assistant Profes sor Howard F.
