Battalion Sports Editor
The Texas Aggies hit the road
today for a 7:30 battle with the
tough and talented Texas Long
horns in Austin’s Gregory Gym.
A&M is 12-6 for the season
and 6-1 in Southwest Conference
play after Saturday night’s 68-«
63 heart-stopping victory over
Texas Tech before an overflow
(8,108) crowd in the Sound Bowl.
The Red Raiders came into
town tied with the Aggies and
the Southern Methodist Mus
tangs for the top spot in the
league. SMU beat Baylor 74-70,
to set the stage for a showdown
in Dallas Saturday.
Should the Aggies win and
the Mustangs defeat the Rice
Owls in Houston, Saturday’s
winner would be in undisputed
first place in the SWC with six
games to play.
The Longhorns, however, are
no easy opponents. In fact, they
were picked to win the crown in
a pre-season vote by sports writ
ers in the conference towns.
Texas is 10-6 for the year and
3-3 since the race began, losing
to Tech, SMU and Texas Chris
tian.
In the cardiac contest with
Tech, the Aggies hit 47.6% from
the field, while the Raiders man
aged to sink half of their shots.
A&M controlled the boards, dom
inating players with greater
height, 41-35.
The score was tied six times
in the first half, with the lead
changing hands seven times be
fore Tech built up a six-point
deserve to win like this. They
really represented A&M well.”
Brown led the Aggies with 22
points on nine of 16 from the
field and four of six free throws.
Overhouse had six of 12 and one
of three for 13. Howard scored
12, and Bobby Threadgill made
10. Knowles was the top re
bounder with 10 caroms.
“It won’t show up in the sta
tistics, but Bob Gobin had an
awful lot to do with winning this
ball game,” Metcalf explained.
“He got in there and got after
it. His tie and tip were purely
results of hustle.”
The scoring:
A&M — Mario Brown, 22; Jeff
Overhouse, 13; Wayne Howard,
12; Bobby Threadgill, 10; Randy
Knowles, 4; Bobby McKey, 4;
and Brad Pauley, 3.
Texas Tech — Greg Lowery,
23; Ron Richardson, 13; Ralph
Palomar, 9; Richard Little, 7;
Ed Wakefield, 6; Gene Kaber-
line, 3; and Don Moore, 2.
A&M is enjoying a four-game
winning streak this season, hav
ing won nine of their last 10
outings.

A SHORT JUMP SHOT gives A&M and guard Mario Brown (13) two points in Saturday
night’s win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Brown hit nine of 15 shots from the field
and four of six from the free throw line for a total of 22 points. The team-leading per
formance gave the 6-2 junior college transfer a 13.8 average for the season and a 17.8
norm for six conference games. (Photo by Mike Rice)
lead with 1:33 to play in the
period. They held a 36-32 ad

of making 60% from the field
and six of seven from the free
throw line.

guard, scored 17 in the opening
period, hitting eight of 10 field
goal attempts and one free
throw. He finished the game
with 23, making two of eight
shots in the second half and both
of his penalty shots.

Howard, Mario Brown and Jeff
Overhouse combined their talents
to whittle away at the lead.
With 12:06 left in the game,
Brad Pauley drove in, made a
layup and was fouled by Ralph
Palomar. The successful free
throw tied the contest at 48-€ill.
Tech bounced back again,
though, to take a 59-53 lead with

ing point of the night. With
2:21 left, he tied Richard Little,
then out-jumped him to tip the
ball to Randy Knowles.
Brown edged his way to the
basket, working in with his back
turned, and made a short jump
shot. This tied it at 60 with 2:04
to play. The defense stiffened,
and A&M got the ball on a
missed shot.
They took their time, working
for a sure shot, but Brown drove
for the basket with a minute and
a half remaining. A behind-the-
back pass gave Overhouse an easy
crip shot, and the Aggies were in
command, 62-60.
The next time down, Brown
drove again, this time putting
it up himself. The shot was
good, but the junior college
transfer was called for charging.
Palomar made only one of the
free throws, giving the Aggies a
64-61 lead with 35 seconds left.
Knowles was fouled while re
bounding the missed penalty
toss, and the 6-6 sophomore made
both ends of a one-and-one to
make it 66-61 with 31 to go.
From there, it was all over, with
Tech dropping to 10-8 on the
year and 4-2 in loop play.
“When it got down to where
they had to play tough, they
kept their heads and did a good
job,” Coach Shelby Metcalf said.
“I’ve never had a group work
harder than these guys. They
