A&M shooters were red hot. Both teams were somewhat hot under the collar. With everyone hot, the Aggies and Red Raiders staged a real barn burner Saturday night before 6,923 fans in G. Rollie White Coli seum. A&M blistered the nets at a 51.2 per cent clip while Tech hit a very respectable 48.8. It took two overtimes for A&M to finally subdue the league-lead ing Raiders 98-95 to throw the Southwest Conference into a mo mentary tissy. Tech has a one game lead and they meet Texas tonight in Lubbock. Clutch free throw shooting by the Ags spelled the final differ ence. Ray Roberts, who earlier was removed from the contest for a cooling off period after a scuf fle with Tech guard Richard Lit tle, hit four charity tosses and a 10-foot jumper in the second over time to put A&M on top. Webb Williams had a perfect night for the Ags. The 6-7 junior hit three field goals in three at tempts and a perfect four of four free shots while subbing for the foul plauged A&M post men. The contest, the most physical played here all season, saw six players foul out. Tech’s Rich Bul lock, William Johnson and Grady Newton joined A&M’s Jerry Mer cer, Cedric Joseph and C. W. Guth rie with five fouls. At times the inside play looked like a roller derby. Pushing, shov ing and flying elbows kas the thing of the night. A&M finished with 18 of 21 charity tosses. Tech hit 13 of 16. With both squad’s big men in foul trouble most of the night, the game became one of outside shoot- ENTHUSIASTS!

Newton constantly hit 20 footers from the right corner over the Aggie zone. Johnson and Bullock each hit 20 before fouling out. A&M was not without its out side heros. Randy Knowles pump ed in 28 and John Thornton 26. Roberts, Williams and Joseph each had 10 points to pace the Aggie scoring. Mike Floyd, out of action since the Baylor game two weeks ago, handled the Tech press with rela tive ease. A&M committed a sea son low 15 turnovers. The Aggies outrebounded the taller Raiders 48-38. All confer- erence candidate Bullock was held to four caroms while Knowles gathered 12 and Thornton seven. A&M’s locker room was wild in jubilation for but a few minutes. Emotionally drained, the Ags slumped into almost silence. “It was the greatest game I’ve ever seen,’’ said Knowles. “We were so clutch with free shots it was unreal.” Norman Reuther, former Tech standout and now A&M assistant coach was elated. “I’d have died if we’d lost to them, just died,” said Reuther. “When we lost to them in Lubbock (63-61) I knew we had to come back and beat them.” How does this change the con ference race? “It really tightens it up again,” said Tech coach Gerald Myers. “It makes our game with Texas a must.” A&M coach Shelby Metcalf dis agrees. “This won’t change a thing. Tech will still win it easy. I don’t think Texas can beat Tech in Lubbock.” Tonight the Ags travel to Rice to face the Owls at 7:30. Floyd is still doubtful as he may have aggravated a pulled muscle against Tech. A&M rallied to down Rice 80- 79 in College Station. The Ags are 5-5 in conference with all the wins coming at Home.

Rice dominated the discus and the distance races to post a 70-66 victory over the A&M track squad in a dual meet in Houston Sat urday. The meet was tied with two events to go but the Owls swept the three-mile run, taking the top four places, to put the meet away. The meet was not without bright spots as the Aggies won nine of the 16 events but could not overcome the Owl’s overall depth. .CLIP AD OUT AND SEND IN TODAY 0 Send Free Catalog Only.. Freshman Shifton Baker made an outstanding debut in A&M track as he won the intermediate hurdles and the long jump and placed second in the 120-yard high hurdles to make him high point man for the afternoon. Brad Blair, freshman polt vaul- ter from Carthage, cleared a life time best of 15-6 to take first place in his specialty. Defending ,SWC champion David Peterek was third at 14-6. Scottie Jones won the 120-yard high hurdles as expected and also anchored the 440-yard relay team to a first place finish with a time of 41.0. Doug Brodhead edged out Rice’s Lin Bingham at the wire to win in the 440 and then came back in the anchor leg of the mile relay to edge out Bingham at the wire again. Bill Newton tossed the javelin 217 feet to easily outdistance the field while Sammy Dierschke ran away from everyone in the 220- yard dash with a 21.7, run mostly into a stiff wind. Charles Dawson got off to a terrible start and could not quite catch Rice’s Zoe Simpson in the 100-yard dash while A&M’s Phil McGuire and Don Riggs took second and third, respectfully, in the high jump.
