Welcomed home by the largest
ever (8,120) A&M swarmed
boards and the bucket to
hopeful Baylor, 91-80, in
lay night’s SWC contest.
Dugh losing the conference
er one week before, the over-
j crowd vociferously cheered
heroics as the Aggies kept in
Jieat of league title hopes
h a 1-1 record.

’s Bears only 28 and hitting

‘I was a starter early in the
ar but I was too tight going
and couldn’t cope with all that
ure,” the junior college
ifer from Grinnell, Iowa said.

In the past two games, Tone
hit for 20 and 16 points.
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. We’re look
ing for and finding the open man.
We’ve got a lot of talent out there
and I think we’re on our way.”
Randy Knowles and Mike Floyd
were also in double figures with
13 and 11 points respectively.
Nothing is to be taken away
from Baylor. Down 15-4 with
less than five minutes gone, the
Bears fought back to take the
lead 21-20 with 8:46 left in the
first half and kept it close until
the Aggies took a three-point
lead, 30-27, with 4:47 left before
coasting in to a 44-37 lead at the
break.
In that opening stanza, the Ag
gies hit 68 per cent of their out
side shots compared to Baylor’s
46 but A&M committed 15 turn
overs to only five for the visitors.
The second half was no contest,
however, as the Aggies pulled to
an 18-point advantage with 7:38
left. With only :46 left, A&M had
Baylor down by 15 but Baylor
hit for four quick points cutting
A&M’s final margin to only 11.
“You can’t take anything away
from Baylor,” coach Shelby Met
calf said. “They played hard and
kept coming. 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.”

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.
