For the third consecutive year
the TAMU wrestling team has
brought home the first place tro
phy in the Texas Wrestling Con
ference State Meet.
A&M racked up 77 points, 22
points above the nearest contend
er, Le Tourneau College. The
team won first in four of the ten
weight categories.
Joey Robinette won the team’s
award for outstanding effort of
an individual. He won his match
in overtime to give the team ex
tra points. The award was a pair
of gold cuff-links and tie-clasp.
Robinette has been wrestling for
one year.
Fem tankers
place third
in TCU meet
A&M’s women’s swimming team,
paced by Jean Collins and
Carol Hemphill posted a third
place here Saturday in the Texas
Christian University Invitational
swimming meet.
The University of Texas at Aus
tin won the meet with its superior
depth accounting for 388 points.
Texas Tech had 314.5 points and
A&M totalled 288 points.
The Aggies won nine of 15
events including four first places
for Collins and three for Hemphill.
A&M’s 200 yard freestyle relay
team of Hemphill, Collins, Bar
bara German and Beth MacArthur
posted a 1:48.8 winning time,
which stands as a school, pool and
state records and qualifies the
team for the national champion
ships.
Collins won 100 yard individual
medley and also took the 50 yard
freestyle and backstroke events.
Her 26.4 time in the freestyle
race is a new school record.
Hemphill splashed to a winning
time in the 100, 200 and 400 yard
freestyle events and took second
in the 50 yard breaststroke.
German and MacArthur finish
ed 1-2 in the 50 yard butterfly
and although placing 10th in the
1-meter diving events, Susan
Johnston set a new school record.
A&M took only nine swimmers
to the meet.
“I felt embarrassed getting it,”
said Robinette, “because I felt
that all the other guys and their
efforts all year long made my
efforts for one afternoon look
terribly small. They’re all a great
bunch of guys.”
Coach Bill Kahler credits the
championship to “team balance
and team effort. That placed
eight out of 10.”
“Desire and a lot of hard work
did it,” said Jim Giunta. “We just
plain out-conditioned the other
teams. Every body else died in
the last few minutes and we suck
ed it up.”
A&M started off in the first
round preliminaries with six pins,
breezed through semi-finals, the
first round consolations, consola
tion finals and went to the finals
with five team members still in
front. The resulting four wins is
the most ever for TAMU.
John Manning, who went into
overtime in his match in the fi
nals, commented, “The team as a
whole displayed a lot of desire,
strength and ability. We proved
we were champions against some
good opposition.”
At this state meet overtime
consisted of three one-minute pe
riods. Consolation matches were
three two-minute periods. Finals
were the usual eight-minutes.
Frank Cox, Giunta, Bill Jones
and Manning are now eligible to
compete in the national wrestling
meet in Drake, Iowa on March 1.

EUGENE, Ore. <A>) _ UCLA is
working on its longest losing
streak in eight years and. Coach
John Wooden admits the Bruins
no longer “deserve to be number
one.”
Wooden, whose team lost Fri
day night to Oregon State then
again here Saturday to Oregon,
said, “We are a fine team . . . but
obviously, there are some who can
beat us.”
The University of Oregon,
boosted by sniper-like outside
shooting of sophomore Bruce Col-
dren, upset UCLA 56-51 Satur
day. The night before, Oregon
State beat the Bruins 61-57.
The Oregon teams—both made
up mostly of freshmen and sopho
mores—ironically were the last
two teams to deal UCLA back-to-
back defeats in 1966. The losses
were the first in the Pacific
Eight Conference in four years
for UCLA.
“We played a better game
against Oregon State. Oregon
just did an excellent job,” Wooden
said after Saturday’s debacle.
“Coldren hit shots we gave up
on the press and they kept the
ball away from Bill Walton low.
We should have been able to take
advantage of that. We didn’t.”
Coldren hit 12 of his 14 field
goal attempts, including two criti
cal ones in the last minutes when
Oregon went to a four corner of
fense to use up the clock.
The keep-away game worked
well, and UCLA was forced to
foul Oregon to get at the ball.
UCLA jumped to an 11-2 lead,
but Oregon knotted it at 22-22
halfway through the first half.
Oregon Coach Dick Harter said
his team relied heavily on de
fense and waited for good shots
on offense.
Oregon’s Gerald Willett and
Greg Ballard kept track of UCLA
All-American Bill Walton and
held him to 11 points.
“It’s funny,” Coldren said after
the game. “When you first see
those UCLA players, you think
they’re gods. Then you play them
and you find that they are people
just like the rest of us.”
The first half of UCLA’s long
weekend came Friday night in
nearby Corvallis when Oregon
State took a 61-57 win.
Freshman George Tucker, de
scribed by Oregon State Coach
Ralph Miller as the team’s worst
free throw shooter, hit four free
throws near the end of the game
to give OSU the margin it needed.
Oregon State also cashed in on
serious last minute UCLA errors.
In the final five minutes, Walton
had two turnovers and Tommy
Curtis had three, plus a foul that
cancelled a basket by Keith
Wilkes.
A&M—l8t—77 points
