Moore DIFFERENT TEXTURES do a lot more than just offer j variety on the carpeting scene. There is no such thing as a “best” texture for every purpose, and each may func tion well under special circumstances. IShag is at or near the top of the popularity poll today, but it is not all things to all persons. Some find it too casual or informal in the very long lengths, and harder to 1 vacuum. Happily there are short shags, too, so there’s shag to please any taste. But you may be happier with another texture on stairways, for instance, where all the traffic is concentrated. Loops and twists come in all styles and lengths. They make very durable carpet textures, and are thus prac tical in rooms that take a beating or that have limited traffic lanes because of the room’s arrangement or fur nishings. But remember that some fibers, such as nylon, wear longer than others, so texture is not the only con- jsideration. Loops and twists show very little shading. Plushes do. They are like velvets in that characteristic, as they are in general appearance. Rub your hand across velvet or a plush carpet to see what we mean. Many homeowners and designers love this look of shading or shadowing, but others don’t. Check your own reaction before choosing plush. Our showroom displays offer a delightful choice of tex tures, including many combinations. You won’t find bet ter variety or value anywhere ... or as much assurance of expert carpet counsel at no extra cost. Come in and see! Chapman's Decorating Center 2307 So. Texas Ave. College Station, Texas 846-1734 By TED BORISKIE , Assistant Sports Editor The A&M track squad enjoyed its finest outing of the season as it qual ified two individuals and the mile relay team for the NCAA champion ships in a quadrangular meet in Au stin Thursday night. Although the Aggies were soundly defeated by the powerful Texas Longhorns, coaches Charles Thomas and Ted Nelson found plenty to be optimistic about as sev- eral athletes turned in their best performances of the year. The Longhorns virtually ran away with the meet, totaling 97 points to A&M’s second-place 33%. TCU was third with 28 while Rice, bringing only a skeleton crew be cause of finals, had 13%. Bill Newton turned in his best performance of the year in the jave lin with a toss of230-8, moving him self dangerously close to the A&M record of236-0 set by Marc Black in 1971. “I don’t care about the record,” said Newton. “I’m just happy to get it out as far as I did. I knew it was a good throw when I let go but I’m surprised it went as far as it did. It turned sideways on me and I didn’t think it would be that good.” Scottie Jones continued his mas tery over Texas’ Nate Robinson in the 120-yard high hurdles, winning with a 13.66 to Robinson’s 13.69. Freshman Shifton Baker turned in his best time of the season, taking third with a 13.99, which also qual ifies him for the NCAA meet. Texas’ Don Sturgal won the 440-yard dash, as expected, with a 46.46, his best time of the year. He faced a bit of unexpected pressure from A&M’s Doug Brodhead, who finished second with a 47.04, his best time of the season by over a second and good enough to qualify him for nationals. Although none placed, all Aggie halhnilers bettered the Southwest Conference qualifying standard of 1:54.0. Adolph Tingan was clocked at 1:52.4, Pat Bradley turned in a 1:52.5 and Horace Grant finished with a 1:52.8. Defending NCAA champion Robert Primeaux of Texas came back in high style in the 440-yard hurdles, winning in 50.9, his best time of the season by over four sec onds. Primeaux was sidelined with a broken ankle for the first part of the season. Baker was fourth with a 53.06. In the mile relay. Grant opened up with a fair opening leg but handed to Brodhead ten yards be hind the leaders. Brodhead made up most of the distance in the first 220 yards and it appeared he might have used himself up in the first half of his leg. Coming into the stretch, however, Brodhead summoned up some unknown reserve to sprint up with the leaders at the ban do ft for a split of 45.7. Last-minute replace ments Baker and Tingan ran credit able legs to give the Aggies a 3:11.39. NCAA qualifying standard is 3:11.5. Defending SWC champion David Peterek won his first meet of the year, taking the pole vault with a 15-6 height. A&M’s Brad Blair took third with a 15-0 performance as favorite David Shepherd of Texas failed to clear 16-0 for the first time this year. Also turning in season’s best per formances were Craig Carter, tak ing fourth in the shot put with 54-5%, and Tim Brown, sixth in the discus with a 155-1. Other top performers for the Ag gies were Tom Owen, fourth in the ^long jump with a leap of 23-10%, ‘Charles Dawson, fourth in the 100- and 220-yard dashes with 9.53 and 22.0, and Charles Cottle, third in the three-mile run with a 14:52.8.

(AP)—UCLA superstar Bill Walton has agreed to sign with the Portland Trail Blazers for a salary estimated at more than $2 million, the National Basketball Association team said Thursday. Besides the Trail Blazers, who won rights to the first pick in the NBA draft in a coin flip with Philadelphia, Walton’s services were sought by his hometown San Diego Conquistadors of the Ameri can Basketball Association and two other groups hoping to establish ABA franchises in Los Angeles. Walton is the second UCLA All- American center to draw a six- figure contract from the pros. Lew Alcindor, now known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, left UCLA in 1966 for $1.4 million from the NBA Mil waukee Bucks. Walton, a 6-foot-ll, 220-1 pounder, led the Bruins to their sixth and seventh consecutive NCAA championships in succession and was The Associated Press col lege player of the year as a sopho more and junior. The Bruins bowed tD North Carolina State in the semi final NCAA playoft this year. In three seasons at UCLA, Wal ton became the most accurate shoo ter in college basketball history, making 65 percent of his shots to break Jabbar’s NCAA record. He broke Jabbar’s UCLA career rebounding record by three re bounds, 1,370, averaging 15.7 a game as the Bruins won 83 of the 87 games he played in. He averaged 5.5 assists per game his senior year and 19.3 points a game. His three-year scoring aver age of20.3 on 1,767 points made him second to Jabbar’s 2,325 on the Bruins’ alltime scoring list. Jabbar turned Milwaukee, an ex pansion franchise, into an NBA championship club in two years. At Portland, which finished last in the NBA Pacific Division, Walton joins former UCLA All-American Sidney Wicks.
