Gonna be a hot time in the ole
town tonight, as the Aggies head for
Lubbock looking for their fourth
win in a row. The Ags will take on
Texas Tech in the 7:30 moonlighter
before an expected sellout crowd.
The Ags are trying to keep their
conference record unblemished at
2-0 and retain their 2 game overall
lead.
The Red Raiders, however, have
other ideas. They lost one to the
hotter Razorbaeks but rebounded
from a 26-20 halftime deficit to nip
Texas 59-57 on a block and basket at
the buzzer by William Johnson.
Together with the Ags they are
the pre-season co-favorites, and the
game will probably be that tight. It
will match the conference’s leading
scorer against the toughest bench in
the conference.
Rick Bullock averaging about 22
points was held to 13 by Texas. But
Johnson and Phil Bailey each hit 20
to keep Tech in the running.
The Ags will counter with a bench
that has nine players averaging
more than four points, with two in
double figures and one just tenths
away. Nine players have also hit in
double figures in one game or
another, led by Sonny Parker’s high
of 27. Cedric Joseph has scored a
high of nine but has been hampered
by a muscle pull.
Brandt still
with Dallas
despite talk
DALLAS (AP) — If Gil Brandt is
leaving the Dallas Cowboys as
player personnel director to join
another National Football League
club, the Atlanta Falcons, he was
playing it cozy Monday.
“Right now, my only job is with
the Cowboys,’’ Brandt said. “I’m
here and I don’t have any comment
on other things.”
Brandt was given permission two
weeks ago to talk with Atlanta owner
Rankin Smith about the general
manager’s job.
“At this time I have no comment
other than about the Cowboys and
the upcoming draft,” Brandt said.

The Aggies strong point has been
the bench and their increasing
strength on the boards, long a Met
calf trademark.
Joseph, Jerry Mercer and Mike
Williams have made tremendous
progress of late and added to a still
strengthening starting and backup
group promise to make the group at
least a contender and possibly the
winner of tonight’s game.
Lubbock is as tough a place to
play basketball as College Station
and the Ags had better be carrying
an extra suitcase with a little luck in
it.
A&M and Tech always seem to
play close games. Last year Tech
won in Lubbock 63-61 while A&M
won in College Station 98-95 in
double overtime. The spread over
the past two years has been a mere
seven points in four games and the
team totals are 302-301. And you
can expect another thriller. It’ll be
A&M versus Tech, a long flight, the
Lubbock crowd, and the referees.
Tech’s opponents will be the Ags
and the referees. My choice? Either
team by two. The game will be
broadcast by Mike Mistovich on
KTAM radio, 1240, beginning at
7:30.

Roundballers award
hogged by Arkansas
DALLAS (AP) — If it’s not one
Arkansas basketball player beating
somebody, it’s another — thus
Robert Birden becomes the third
Razorhack in four weeks to he
named Southwest Conference bas
ketball player of the week.
Birden was instrumental in get
ting Arkansas off to a 2-0 conference
start with victories over Texas Tech
and Southern Methodist. The
Razorbaeks turned in their first vic
tory in the last 12 starts against
Tech, then followed it up with their
first victory at SMU’s Moody Col
iseum since 1968.
The 6-foot-l junior from Pine
Bluff hit both ends of a one-and-one
with 23 seconds left last Tuesday
night to give Arkansas a 63-60 lead
over preseason favorite Tech and
the Razorbaeks held on for a 65-62
decision.
Against SMU Birden had a hot
second-half hand that saw him hit
eight straight baskets and two free
throws in the final 13 minutes to
keep the Razorbaeks ahead. During
one stretch he hit two 15-footers and
two 18-footers and he hit 10 of 14
from the field and scored 22 points.
Birden joins Daryll Saulsberry
and Kent Allison as Razorbaeks who
have been named SWC players of
the week, giving Arkansas three
honors in the five weeks they have
been bestowed.
Texas Tech’s William Johnson
and Rice’s Charles Daniels gave
Birden stiff competition. Johnson
scored 20 points and 11 rebounds in
30 minutes of playing time against
Texas. He scored the tying basket,
then blocked a Texas shot and
scored the winning basket with four
seconds to play. Daniels hiked his
SWC scoring average to 24 points
again and had four assists in Rice’s
loss to Texas A&M.
Texas A&M’s Sonny Parker hit
56.5 percent of his floor shots as the
Aggies won a pair. SMU freshman
Jeff Swanson also had a good week,

19 choices
in pro draft
DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas
Cowboys will have 19 choices in the
National Football League draft
Tuesday, including the No. 2 selec
tion, but Coach Tom Landry doesn’t
see a superstar on the horizon like
O. J. Simpson was the year he was
taken out of South California by Buf
falo.
“There appear to he a number of
players this year who are good bets
to make it in the National Football
League,” Landry said. “I don’t see a
sure-fire superstar but there are
probably more excellent players
than in many past years.”
Dallas is expected to take Randy
White, Maryland’s All-American
defensive lineman. The Cowboys
dealt Craig Morton to the New York
Giants on Oct. 22 and the Giants
finished with a 2-12 record, tying
Baltimore for the worst record
among the 26 NFL clubs. Baltimore
won a coin flip with the Cowboys for
the first choice which was traded to
Atlanta. Dallas needs running hack
and linebacking help.
“If we come to a point where
three or four players are of equal
ability,” said Landry, “then we will
draft the man who plays a position
we feel needs bolstering. Other
wise, we’ll pick the best athlete.”
