Crowd-pleasing Mario Brown again played a fine game hitting for 13 points and had nine assists. “It was a beautiful feeling out there,” he said. “We’ve finally learned how to compliment each other like last year.

They had great de termination. This was the most important game of the year for us. We needed this one to regain lost confidence. “I was real happy to see Jeff and Mario working. That’s the best they’ve looked all year. I’m also pleased with our overall depth. We have nine players that I wouldn’t worry about playing at any time.” Baylor coach Bill Menefee whose Bears dropped to 1-1 in league play and 7-6 overall was im pressed with the Aggies. “A&M played very well and it was an exciting game for the fans,” he said. “A&M is a com plete team in every phase.” OUTA MY WAY, BUDDY.

KINGSTON, Jamaica <A>) — George Foreman knocked Joe Frazier down six times in two rounds and won the world heavy weight championship in a stun ning upset. The end came with Frazier reeling around the ring after the sixth knockdown with blood gushing from his mouth. Referee Arthur Mercante signalled the end of the fight. The 24-year-old Foreman, a 3%-l underdog, took charge from the start in handing Frazier his first loss in 30 pro fights Mon day night. The ease with which Foreman handled the defending champion made the outcome one of the most stunning upsets in heavyweight boxing history. About midway in the first round Foreman scored with two left jabs and then dropped Fra zier with a thudding right hand to the face. Frazier got up im mediately and took an eight count. Frazier moved back in with a left hook and exchanged a few punches with Foreman be fore Frazier went down again from a series of right hands to the head. Once again Frazier got up im mediately, but he was badly dazed and went down for the third time in the round as the bell sounded. Frazier landed flat on his back and it appeared he might stay down, but he struggled up at the count of three as Mercante con tinued the count according to the rules. Frazier rushed to the attack as the second round opened and landed a left hook to the head, but from then on it was all Fore man. The new champion, who weighed 217% pounds to 214 for Frazier, sent Frazier down for the fourth time with a left and a right to the jaw. Frazier strug gled up at two and then went down again from two left hooks. Once again Frazier took hardly any count, and it was hardly any time before he went down for the final time after receiving a series of punches along the ropes. Fra zier struggled gamely to his feet, but Mercante took one look at the reeling, bleeding fighter and signalled a new heavyweight champion of the world. Before the fight Frazier had predicted Foreman would not be able to last 15 rounds with him, but on this night it was Frazier who was the hunted and at the end a badly beaten pulp of his former self. The fight justified critics who had said Frazier’s grueling 15- round victory over Muhammad Ali in 1971 had taken too much out of Frazier as a fighter.
