HBU scored on 14 of 21 free throws, with Ags hitting nine of 11. By the half the Ags had collected 37 rebounds to HBU’s 28. The Ags came out the second half and set a torrid pace, scoring 22 points in the first five minutes of the half. In the second five minutes they scored another 22 points. At that pace the final Aggie score would have been 143. When Sonny Parker scored on a layup after a Davis steal at the ten minute mark on the clock several things happened. The Ags had scored just 11 points less than their total first half output. It be came inevitable that the Ags would get their third straight 100 game, while the Huskies were still below the Aggie first half point production (99-54), and Coach Shelby Metcalf changed the game plan a bit. With the Ags on their record set ting pace, they came out for the final ten minutes in somewhat of a slow down game and the record seemed in jeopardy. It was two minutes and eight seconds before Ray Roberts connected on two free throws to boost the score over a hundred and it was again one minute and 25 sec onds before another score came from Davis in the corner. But from there the scoring picked up again and Steve Jones tied an A&M school record for most points in a game on a followup with 2:19 remaining in the game. (Old record was A&M 119, SMU 98 in 1969.) Joey Robinson got the honor of breaking the record when Bob Mid dleton fed him underneath and he got the layup with 1:59 left. Jarvis Williams scored on a followup to end Aggie scoring with 0:50 left. Robert Paige hit at the buzzer for the Huskies to give the final margin of 127-80. The highest margin was after Williams’ layup that ended Aggie scoring when they led by 53 points. Roberts was the number two scorer for the Ags with 22 points. Sonny P scored 20 points and col lected nine rebounds, while Williams pulled down 14 rebounds and hit for 13 points. Karl Godine with 13 and Jones with 11 were other Ags in double figures. For HBU Huey Smith and Robert Paige both scored 21 points to lead the Huskies. Paige also had 18 re bounds. No other Husky scored or rebounded in double figures. For the game the Huskies hit 45.3 per cent from the floor and 83.8 from the line. Wrestling team gets third place at tournament The wrestling team took third place in a 13 team tournament last Saturday at Richland Junior College in Dallas. Co-captain Bob Hines placed first in the 126 pound weight class. In the 158 and 190 pound divisions, Mark Monhollon and John Man ning, the team’s captain, placed second, respectively. Blair The Ags fell one short of the field goals in a game record, connecting on 48 of 104 attempts. The Ags’ tough team play is illus trated by the assist figure which shows the Ags with 25 to Baptist’s 5. HBU Coach Bobby McKinley said after the game, “We re playing with five individuals, not a whole team, and we just won’t win games like this.” The Aggie basketball trademark of defense is still more evident, with the Ags taking 14 steals to HBU’s one and forcing 29 Husky turnovers to A&M’s 13. Sonny P, Williams and Roberts each blocked a shot for the Ags, while Paige pushed one away for the Huskies. Only twice before have the Ag gies scored more than 100 points at least three times in a season. In last year’s Southwest Conference cham pionship season the Ags scored over 100 three times, and in 1972 the Aggies eclipsed the century mark four times. Assistant Coach Norman Reuther said, “Overall we have a chance to be better than we were last year.” David said, “They (HBU) are im proved over last year, but the dif ference is we are improved over last year. We came out ready to play. We just wanted to play basketball. ” McKinley (HBU coach Bobby) praised the Ags after the game, “They’ve got a super team, probably the best team they’ve ever had. ” In reference to teams like UTEP and New Mexico, of whom they are re cent victims, he said, “They can play with those teams, they won’t walk all over them though.’’ SALES: AlumaCraft, Grumman, ABSp Monhollon, last year’s state champ Tejas & Blue Hole RENTAL: Special group rates jj' DR.

An Opportunity for 450 Highly Qualified Sophomores If you’re the kind of person we’re looking for, you’ve already started to think about what you’d like to do after graduation. If a scholarship leading to a career as an Officer in the U.S. Navy appeals to you, you’ll find this message well worth reading. Two-Ifear Full Scholarships The opportunity is very attractive. If you’re selected, we’ll provide full tuition during your Junior and Senior years, pay for your books and educational fees, and give you $100 a month for 10 months each year to help cover your living expenses. There are two different programs you can apply for. The first is the Nuclear Propulsion Candidate Scholarship Program (NPCS). To qualify, you must have one semester each of calculus and physics (or two semesters of calculus) and have a B-minus average or better. It is open to men only. The other program is the Two-year NROTC Scholarship Program. The only difference in the qualifications is that you must have a C average (2.3 out of 4.0) or better. It is open to men and women. For both programs, you’ll need to pass Navy qualification tests. And, quite frankly, it will help if your major is math, physical science, or engineering. The Curriculum After you’re accepted, you begin with six weeks of training next summer at the Naval Science Institute at Newport, R.I. During your final two years of college, you take several required courses in math, physics, and Naval Science. You also go on a summer cruise prior to your Senior year. (Of course, you’re paid for all your summer duty.) A Challenging Job Upon graduation, you are commissioned as an Officer in the U.S. Navy. And from then on your career can take you anywhere in the world, in a variety of fulfilling jobs. Those who apply for the NPCS Program have a particular challenge ahead of them: The Navy’s Nuclear Power Program. Not everyone who applies makes it: the men in charge of more than two thirds of our country’s nuclear reactors must be a very special breed. Final acceptance into the Navy’s Nuclear Power Program is determined during your Senior year after an interview in Washington with the Director, Division of Naval Reactors. A two-year scholarship worth up to $10,000. A unique opportunity to serve as an Officer in the U.S. Navy. You’ll want to act now. The deadline for acceptance is May 1,1976 —and once the quotas are filled, you’ll have lost your chance to earn yourself a scholarship.
