Board member Dr. Ernest Barratt requested that the further inves tigation be conducted by a com mittee separate from the school board. evm s orner However, the board decided to make the entire board an ad hoc investigating committee with Barratt as its chairman. Oklahoma assistant coach Bill Michael resigned after admitting knowledge of the incident. Another board member, Mrs. Ray Schaper, urged the investi gation be continued. “I’m not sat isfied everything is known at this time,” she said. “We want to know more.” By KEVIN COFFEY Sports Editor A&M’s final diamond series of the season with the Texas Longhorns was a classic example of great college baseball. The three games were decided by a total of five runs and the pitching was excellent. Bobby Falcon, the Aggies top lefty, pitched six innings of no-hit ball before yielding an infield single to Texas’ speedster Ken Pape. The Aggies won the first game 1-0 and ’Horn pitcher Ron Roznovsky just gave the A&M batsmen two hits. Rick Burley won the second for Texas throwing another two-hitter at the Ags. ‘Hey Wetback' Even though the Aggies dropped two of the three contests their play gave them nothing to be ashamed of. That’s more than the Aggie fans can say. Fans always have, and always will, curse at officials and call them blind, hoot at coaches for arguing with that impartial blind man and hiss at the opposition’s stars, especially if they are “teasips.” That., seems to come with the price of the ticket but no amount of money gives fans the right to attack a player because of his race or country of origin. Every time Rudy Jaramillo, a Longhorn outfielder from Dallas, came to the plate he was met with every slur in the book. A&M fans called him “taco bender” and “wetback” among other comments. It seemed like it was a Baylor-A&M game in Waco. Knicks’ Rally Should Keep Lakers Awake LOS ANGELES bP>—Towering Wilt Chamberlain believes his Los Angeles Lakers could have been helped by the spectacular rally of the New York Knicks that fell just three points short. As the National Basketball As sociation finalists looked ahead to Thursday night’s second game in the best-of-seven championship playoffs, the 7-foot-l Chamber- lain looked down and said: “You just can’t be complacent about the Knicks. It might have been bad for us to have beaten them by a (big margin. I’d rather be scared of them.” The Lakers led the opening game at the Forum on Tuesday night 93-73 with just 1 minute 12 seconds to play in the third quar ter. Then the Knicks rallied be hind the shooting of Dave De- Busschere and Bill Bradley and lost by only three points at 115- 112. DeBusschere scored nine in the final period and 25 overall, Bradley eight and 24. Jerry West led the Lakers through the first three quarters but committed his fifth personal foul with 5 minutes left in the third quarter. From then on he saw limited duty, going back into action midway in the fourth pe riod before fouling out. West last had fouled out of a game in 1970. For the second game, another capacity throng of 17,505 will be at the Forum before the series goes to New York for Sunday afternoon and Tuesday night games. Cheer Up! Summer is Coming!

When the Aggies traveled to Rena Marrs McLean Gym this season for a SWC basketball game the Bears were anything but courteous hosts. Mario Brown was pelted with hot dogs when he was introduced before the game, pulled off the court when he saved a ball from going out of bounds near the BU cheerleaders, and cussed at by the fans. Three fans were ejected from the tiny gym. Brown had to suffer indignition about his race, his parents and his legitimacy. No player should be subjected to this treatment anywhere, anytime. Baylor coach Bill Menefee had to almost beg for control of the crowd when the game was stopped while cups and ice were cleared from the floor. Don’t let A&M get the reputation Baylor has garnered for itself in the hearts of Aggie fans. Make College Station the best place to play any sport in the conference. Aggies are often considered the best fans in the SWC because of their undying spirit and sportsmanship. Let’s keep it that way. Bits And Pieces Pan American University of Edinburg was among three schools hit with probation by the NCAA. It drew two years for irregularities in its basketball program. Livingston, Ala., University and Doane College of Crete, Neb., also received penalties. Oklahoma is next in line for a good wrist slapping. Head football coach and athletic director Emory Bellard is getting his golf game in good shape. After posting an 85 in A&M’s news media tourney he captained the winning foursome in the Good Samaritan golf tournament in Houston. Bellard played in the Littler Pro-Am at Quail Valley Country Club yesterday. It is run in conjunction with the Houston Open stop on the pro tour. He was teamed with Bobby Nichols. The Aggie baseball team had a hard time with the weather this year as they were rained out on nine occasions. They shouldn’t feel bad. Le Tourneau College of Longview was washed out 18 times. Speaking of baseball, the Aggies were ranked No. 18 in the nation in the final regular season Associated Press Poll. Texas was rated No. 4. Grady Allen, all-Southwest Conference defensive end and a member of the 1968 A&M Cotton Bowl champs, notified the Atlanta Falcons of the NFL, he is retiring after five seasons to devote full time to business interests. The United States Golf Association is running tests that may result in outlawing the new graphite-shafted clubs. They are also investigating new golf balls. The A&M Rugby Club paid for its room and board from their own pockets during their trip to San Francisco. That’s dedication Swim ming coach Dennis Fosdick is in sunny California on a recruiting trip SMU has won a Southwest Conference title in at least one sport for the last 21 years The last Aggie crown was track in 1970.
