Texas Tech shooters were red
hot. 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-

ADDRESS.
Tech’s Grady Newton, averag
ing 6.6 points per contest, scored
29 points. 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.

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.
