Women roundballers put
squeeze on Wharton JC
By CAROLYN BLOSSER
Battalion Sports Writer
Thank heavens for little girls.
When the impending disaster at Lit
tle Rock seemed too unbearable for
most Aggies, the women’s basket
ball team lightened the burden just
a bit by giving us something to
cheer about. They trounced Whar
ton Junior College 68-52, upping
their record to 3-1 for the season.
That relentless Aggie defense was
at work once again, yielding its op
ponent absolutely nothing to the in
side. Wharton continually was
forced to shoot difficult, outside
shots. W
A&M, led by Cissy Auclair, out-
rebounded Wharton 53-40. The
5-11 junior from Waco was respon
sible for 15 of the Aggies’ rebounds.
The game got off to a fast start
with A&M scoring quickly with the
Aero’s Gordie Howe

PHOENIX (AP) — Gordie Howe,
the 47-year-old right wing of the
Houston Aeros who is also the club’s
president, was suspended for the
first time in his 29-year hockey
career Saturday when the World
Hockey Association shelved him in
definitely for abuse of an official in a
game Friday night.
Howe’s teammate, goalie Ron
Grahame, was suspended along
with Howe after each had run-ins
with referee Ron Asselstine in Fri
day night’s penalty-filled 5-4 Hous
ton victory over the Winnipeg Jets.
A WHA statement said league
Chief Executive Ben Hatskin would
make a ruling on the incident on
Monday.
Each was ejected from the contest
— Grahame in the first period and
Howe in the second — after draw
ing five of the penalties called.
“Among other things, I rumbled
at the referee,” said Howe, hockey’s
all-time greatest scorer. “One time I
did give him an elbow, and you
shouldn’t do that to an official. He
added, however, “The guy was mak
ing awful calls.”
It was one call, on Howe for
high-sticking at 7:10 of the middle
period, that got the veteran ejected.
Howe argued the ruling by As
selstine, bumped him against the
boards at Houston’s Summit Arena,
and got a game misconduct for his
actions.
His ejection, the second of the
game, brought a furious reaction
from the crowd of 10,702 at the
Summit. Asselstine earlier had
thrown out Grahame — who had
stormed at the official with his stick
raised. When the crowd erupted,
the referee skated off the ice and
nearly didn’t return.
Howe said Grahame just raised
his stick over his head while facing
the referee. “Gee,” he added, “we
do that all the time.”
Grahame, however, came after
the referee a second time but was
tackled by teammate Ted Taylor be
fore reaching Asselstine.
Howe also said he told the referee
at one point, “All those people came
down just to see you; put on a good
show. ” Later, he added, “Why don’t
you step out and see yourself on the
telescreen (a replay screen in the
stadium)?” and at that point el
bowed the official.

Swimming coach Dennis Fosdick
got his first in-depth look at the
swimmers last Saturday in the P.L.
Downs Natatorium as the team
swam in an intra-squad meet. Time
trials were taken in the medley re
lay, the 200 meter individual med
ley, the 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000
meter freestyle. Competition was
also held in the 200 meter
backstroke, the 200 meter
breaststroke, and the 200 meter
butterfly.
“It’s still early season for us,” said
Fosdick. “This mainly gives us a
chance to get times.”
The swimmers are presently pre
paring for their first dual meet to be
held this weekend against SMU.
“We re not too concerned with
dual meets,” Fosdick added. “We
don’t worry until the second semes
ter when we aim toward the confer
ence and national meets in March.”
Fosdick noted promise in several
swimmers during the trials.
Oran Marksbury, Steve Moore,
and Bob Leland reportedly had ex
cellent times in the breaststroke.
Greg Meek equalled his best time in
the 50 meter freestyle. Others rec
ording good times for this time of
the year were Don Reeser,
backstroke, Phil Pellegrino, frees
tyle and butterfly, and Bruce Hoak,
freestyle.

opening tipoff. Wharton came right
back and tied the score at 2-2. That
was as close as they ever came.
A&M, helped by steals by Beth
Mamaliga and Auclair and some fast
breaks, stretched its lead to 18-4.
After a couple of quick goals which
brought the score up to 18-8, Whar
ton could not manage to score again
during the next five minutes. At
halftime, the Aggies held a com
manding 37-16 lead.
The rest of the game went pretty
smoothly until only about nine min
utes remained in the game. Whar
ton, in desperation, went to a full
court press defense and drastically
changed the tempo of the game.
Fouls and turnovers started occur-
ing everywhere. The hectic play
continued until the final seconds
ticked off . A&M had won the battle.
Mamie Mauch and Nancy Stredic
were the high scorers for Wharton
Junior College with 13 and 11 points
respectively.
But the main spark behind the
Wharton offense came the small
package of 5-foot-tall Gayln
Zwerschke. The antics of this little
Mighty Mouse really kept the Ag
gies on their toes. She spent as
much time dribbling the ball while
on her knees as she did while stand-

Your deposits to an Individual Retirement Account
will be 100% deductible from your 1975 income tax.
If you are not now covered by a pension or retirement
plan (even if you may someday qualify for such a com
pany benefit) you can build a tax-sheltered savings ac
count today with BB&L. Every dollar you deposit this year
— up to $1,500 (or 15% of your annual income,
whichever is less) is deductible from your 1975 income
tax.
Earnings on your tax-sheltered account are also free
from tax — until you retire. (And since earning power
normally drops off after retirement, you may pay taxes on
the earnings at a considerably lower rate than now).
It only takes a few minutes to open an Individual Retire
ment Account and there is no charge for establishing this
special savings account.
Find out if you can qualify for BB&L tax-sheltered sav
ings. There’s no obligation — but you need to act now to
get the maximum tax advantage for 1975.
Call 823-7541 or see a savings officer for details.
