No p/ace to sit
Pair pedals to Austin for garne
By BETH KRUGLER
Contributor
Imagine two Aggies pedaling
bicycles to Austin to see the
A&M-Texas game only to find no
where to sit,
A lot of different things have been
said about these creatures who in
habit the College Station area.
It’s been said that they’re stupid
— but the ever-rising SAT entrance
scores at A&M seem to disprove
that yarn.
Aggies are known to be all round
losers, too, but if their 6-1 SWC
basketball record is any indication,
that’s another falsehood.
Another assumed Aggie trait is
determination. But that shoe does
seem to fit — at least it fits the feet of
two die hard Aggies who made it
their plight to travel to Longhorn
territory for the A&M-Texas game
on their bicycles.
Gary Jones, a senior education
major, and Dale Cline, a junior in
accounting, started out for Austin
around nine o’clock the morning of
the game. After successfully peddl
ing eight hours and 80 miles, Cline
and Jones realized it would be im
possible for them to make it to the
game if they attempted to complete
the 30 remaining miles on their
bikes.
They should’ve kept peddling.
By the time Jones and Cline were
driven into Austin it was too late for
them to be seated in the inade
quately small Gregory Gym any
way.
Not that they really wanted to be
seated anywhere at all after the tir
ing trek, as Jones went on to de-

FORT WORTH, Tex. (AP) —Ar
kansas strangled stubborn Texas
Christian with its famed slow-down
offense in the second half Tuesday
night and the Razorbacks remained
atop the Southwest Conference
standings with a 71-60 victory be
hind the free throw shooting ol
Ricky Medlock and Charles Terry.
Arkansas was tied with Texas
A&M for first place with a 6-1 record
and the Razorbacks of Coach Eddie
Sutton are 12-7 for the year.
TCU, which held a surprising
36-32 halftime lead before faltering,
is now 2-5 in SWC play and 7-11
overall.
Bill Bozeat, who had a career high
21 points, and Gary Landers, who
scored 20, paced TCU until Arkan
sas went into its stall with the game
tied 55-all. Medlock hit two free
throws and the Razorbacks never
trailed with less than seven minutes
to play. Terry hit a brace of free
throws with 1.30 left for an insur
mountable 67-59 Arkansas lead.
Terry scored 15 points and Med
lock had 14 for Arkansas from the
guard position.
scribe their physical condition.
“Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion
was needed for certain areas of our
bodies,” he said. “Also it seemed
that part of our under apparel had
become permanently affixed to us.”
Among the many hazards en
countered by the pair along the way
were numerous automobile drivers
who enjoyed playing “chicken” with
the cyclist and big dogs.
Neither posed too big of a prob
lem for Cline and Jones however, as
both managed to stay in control of
their vehicles throughout the trip,
suffering no mishaps.
Highlighting the trip were car
loads of game-bound Ags who stop
ped along their way to give Jones
and Cline moral support. Two Mag
gies gave them sandwiches to help
tide them over.
After it was all over, Cline said
that he didn’t regret making the trip
at all, but Jones added, “If we
would’ve lost, there would’ve been
one bicycle innertube crammed
down the mouth of Ray Roberts
(A&M basketballer).”
It’s also been said that Aggies are
never ending supporters of their
team.
