nine of 27 shots the first half, while
A&M managed 23 of 54. 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.’’

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.
If you think you’ve got what it takes to
qualify, fill out and mail the coupon below, contact
either your local Naval Recruiting District or the
Professor of Naval Science on your campus, or
call 800-841-8000, toll-free, anytime.
