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!

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.

Walton signs with Portland
for $2 million contract
PORTLAND, Ore. (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.

It takes Real Dedication
a State Representative.
8/7/ Presnal Has Proven
He's Got It.
There’s much more to being your representative in state
government than making speeches, cutting ribbons and attend
ing banquets. Making laws is a difficult business. It takes years
of study and work to master the political sciences.
For six years, Bill Presnal has dedicated himself to be
coming the best representative you could have. His record of
accomplishments during these 3 terms indicate he’s an effective
and dedicated legislator.
Let’s return Bill Presnal to Austin. He’s done a good job
in the past and is dedicated to doing an even better job in the
future.
