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.

tie with Rice
P
By JOHN CURYLO
Assistant Sports Editor
Everyone said that Saturiij'ij
dual track meet between Em
and A&M was supposed to»
close, and that it was, as the hi
teams ended the day in a
deadlock.
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.
