Texas Tech lost at home to Southern Methodist, so the Red Raiders and the Mustangs join Texas and A&M in the league’s leadership knot with 3-1 records. SMU and the Longhorns square off in Dallas, so a win for A&M will keep them tied for first place. With one of their best shoot ing percentages of the season, 51.7, the Aggies overcame a five- point halftime deficit to lead the Bears by 16 points twice late in the game. The usual rebounding edge, coupled with fine defensive efforts by Mario Brown and Bobby Threadgill, gave A&M its first win over the Waco school since 1969. Brown and Threadgill rose to the occasion in covering Baylor guards Tom Stanton and Roy Thomas. Thomas came into the game averaging 15.5 points per game for the season, 19.7 in SWC play. Brown held him to 13 points on three free throws and five of 21 from the field, well below his 46.4% field goal norm. Stanton, a 55.6% shooter from the field, connected on only two of 15 attempts and eight free throws for 12 points. His season average was 11.9, but through three league games, he scored 17.7 per game. Baylor shot 38.0% from the field Saturday night. The Aggies jumped out to a nine-point lead with 12:52 left in the first half on a 23-foot jump shot by Wayne Howard, but Baylor took over the lead 10 minutes later, and they had a 40-35 advantage at intermis- &WC standing Team W L A&M 3 1 Texas 3 1 Texas Tech 3 1 SMU 3 1 TCU ..: 2 2 Baylor 1 3 Arkansas 1 3 Rice 0 4 Tuesday’s games — A&M at Rice; Texas at SMU; TCU at Baylor; Tech at Arkansas.

A&M came back from the break to tie the score at 45 with four and a half minutes gone in the second half on a short jump shot by Howard. A three-point play by Jeff Overhouse with 12:02 remaining put the Aggies in front by 11, 58-47. With 5:41 to play, Randy Knowles hit a pair of free throws to make it 74-58. A minute later, Overhouse popped the net with a 12-foot jump shot for a similar 16-point margin, 76-60. “We lost momentum a little in the first half,” Coach Shelby Metcalf explained, “b u t we bounced back real well in the second half. Steals made the dif ference. I think we played much better against their zone.” Overhouse had 13 rebounds to lead the Aggies. Included in his 26-point output were eight of 12 field goal attempts and 10 of 10 charity tosses. Brown played his best game of the season, connecting on eight of 10 from the floor and seven of nine from the line for 23 points, the first time he has broken 20 as an Aggie. Howard was good on nine of 15 tries from the field for 18 points. He had nine rebounds, as did Threadgill. Rick Duplantis had seven and Knowles six. The scoring: A&M — Jeff Overhouse, 26; Mario Brown, 23; Wayne How ard, 18; Bobby Threadgill, 11; Randy Knowles, 4; Rick Duplan tis, 2; and Bob Gobin, 1.

In Rice, the Aggies face a team with an 0-4 conference rec ord, but Metcalf refuses to fore- Razorbacks dunk A&M swimmers By MIKE RICE Sports Writer The Arkansas Razorbacks dumped the Aggie swim team Saturday with a score of 71-42, winning nine first places out of thirteen on their way to defeat ing A&M. Before swimming in its first conference competition of the season, the traveling Aggies stopped in Conway, Arkansas Friday night for warm-up com petition with Hendrix Junior College. The Aggies won hands down over the Hendrix Warriors, 89-16, taking 11 events in the meet. Coach Dennis Fosdick used these two meets as trial runs for most of his swimmers, experi menting to find the best spots for each person on the team with an eye on the conference meet. Fosdick was particularly pleased with performances turned in by newcomers Doug M e a d e n, freshman freestyler from Houston Memorial and Les ter Hamaan, junior college All- American from California. “Meaden showed he’ll be able to do any distance above 200 yards and place well for us,” Fos dick said, “while Hamaan will be able to tackle any event that doesn’t have backstroke in it, and finish high in the confer ence.” “We have the potential to place higher in conference this year than last,” said Fosdick. “The defeat by Arkansas was really closer than the score showed; races were lost by only tenths of seconds.” An area where A&M did not fare well last year was in diving. “While our divers were still outclassed by experience in the Arkansas meet,” Fosdick said, “I was given several compliments on their improvement over last year. This is due to the hard work that Bob Johnson is putting in with them.” The Aggie swimmers will host their first dual meet against Rice University at 4:30 this afternoon in Downs Natatorium while try ing to up their season record to 6-3. Pro hopefuls wait for draft Today marks the beginning of professional football’s draft of college players. At press time, through the early rounds of the annual selec tion, no A&M players had been chosen. Aggies expected to be drafted are safety David Hoot, guard Leonard Forey, fullback Doug Neill, cornerback Lee Hitt and punter Mitch Robertson. cast an easy win for his squad. “When you talk about the Southwest Conference, you can throw records out the window,” he said. “Rivalries make every thing unpredictable. Who would have guessed that Tech would have beaten Texas in Austin, or SMU would have won in Lub bock?” The Owls, coached by Don Knodel and George “Spider” Me- haffey, A&M Class of ’67, have had their troubles this season, compiling a 5-11 record. The starting lineup has been different nearly every game, but a likely quintet would be 5-11 guard Dan McGuire, 6-2% guard Scott Fisher, 6-6 forward John Mott, 6-7 forward John Kabbes and 6-9 center Steve Emshoff. Mott has a sprained ankle, but he is forced into front-line duty to replace 6-10% Mark Wehrle, who jammel a knee Friday night and played only sparingly against TCU Saturday. Other subs for the Owls are 6-1 guard Kim Kaufman, 6-5 forward Le roy Marion and 6-7 forward Ran dy Youngling. Metcalf will go with his regu lars, Brown (13.0), Threadgill (8.0), Howard (13.8), Overhouse (18.2) and Duplantis (6.5). They will be backed up by Knowles (9.9), Gobin (4.2) and Charlie Jenkins (2.5). Tipoff time is 8 p.m. in Autry Gym on the Rice campus. The Fish meet the Owlets in a pre liminary battle at 6 p.m, Aggies are now 7-1 at home 3-6 on the road. Rice has nine of its last ten games, A&M has won seven of its eight.
