BRAIEY...UNIVERSITY TRAVEL...MSC LOBBY 846-3778 SAVE 50% V V-, . r r r; V ON SPORT COATS & SHIRTS AT The Exchange Store By JOHN CURYLO Battalion Sports Editor A disruptive fight and some missed free throws failed to stop the Aggies in Waco Tuesday night, as they stayed in a tie for first place in the Southwest Con ference with a 101-95 overtime win over the Baylor Bears. Southern Methodist defeated Texas Tech, 87-73, in Dallas to remain tied with A&M at 8-3. Tech, Texas and Texas Christian are tied for third, 7-4. A brawl erupted with 8:01 re maining in regulation play, and the game was held up for some time while players were cleared from the court and fans were ushered back to their seats. Vehement protests of numer ous calls made by referees Percy Penn and Bob Smith were ig nored, and several players were allowed to hold individual battles during the course of the incon sistently called game. Coach Shelby Metcalf of A&M was assessed a technical foul less than a minute before the fight began. Twice during the game Metcalf threw his coat down and kicked over a chair when his pleas for better quality officiating went unanswered. The Aggies hit only 17 of 33 free throws, but a field goal per centage of 57.5 made the differ ence, as three starters scored 20 or more points and Wayne How ard came off the bench to con tribute 16. The Bears jumped out in front, 14-5, four and a half minutes into the contest, but the Aggies bounced back to lead 31-30 10 minutes later on a short jump shot by Jeff Overhouse. Much of A&M’s scoring in the effort here was from Howard, who con nected on seven of 12 from the field and two of five free throws during the game. Overhouse was the leading scorer for the Aggies with 22. He led all rebounders by hauling in 12 caroms. The 6-7 junior fouled out with two seconds left in the game, but he had earlier injured his leg when the officials allowed several players to strug gle for possession of the ball while they were piled up on the court. Randy Knowles scored 21, hit ting 10 of 17 from the field and one free throw, in addition to getting eight rebounds. Mario Brown finished with 20 points, the result of making eight of 15 field goal tries and four of nine charity tosses. Bobby Threadgill had 10 rebounds. A&M built its 39-37 halftime lead into a 65-54 advantage at the 8:53 mark, but Baylor picked up steam after the fight. The volleys of paper cups fired throughout the game finally shell-shocked the Aggies, too, and the Bears began closing the gap- The Aggies scored but six points in the final 5:35 of regu lation play, and a Lee Griffin jump shot from eight feet tied it at 83 with 2:38 to play. A&M went ahead on a 20-foot jump shot by Knowles, but a 10-footer by Tom Stanton sent the battle into overtime. The teams traded baskets and free throws for four minutes of the extra period, but Baylor could get no more after reaching the 95 level. Thveadgill hit a lay up, Brown converted a one-and- one, and Rick Duplantis dropped in an easy layup to end it all Stanton was the leading scoi for Baylor with 27. Roy Thom had 19, followed by Pat Ff with 17 and Adam West with West was the leading reboum for the Bears with 10. Much of the animosity t! persisted during the game 1 between Brown and Stanton,' two were involved in an indj in the first meeting of the schools in which Stanton, sit; on the bench, threw water Brown.
