The game is an expected sellout with a regional television audience also looking on. When the two rival teams met ear lier this year in Lubbock the Aggies came away with a thrilling 64-62 vic tory on Sonny Parker’s two free throw shots with seven seconds re maining in the game. The Red Raiders lead the confer ence by one-half game with a 10-2 record. The Aggies, 9-2, will attempt to bounce back after a heartbreaking loss to SMU in Dallas last Tuesday.

The Ags faired poorly against the Big Eight and SWC opposition. The track is made of spruce and is one of the fastest indoor surfaces A&M has run on. It is 176 feet long which makes for 10 laps per mile. The Aggies have had two weeks rest since their last meet, but several athletes will still not be able to make the trip. Hurdler Shifton Baker, just over knee problems, is down with the flu and will be out until the conference meet. Half-miler Tony Wheeler, with an injured achilles is in a similar situation. Pat Ruehle will probably miss both meets due to a sore leg. He was hoped to obtain valuable points at conference in the pole vault. Thomas and Assistant Coach Ted Nelson will take to Oklahoma City an 18-man squad which includes some new faces. Freshman quartermiler Gregory *«*«*«, V.

Sprinter Charles Dawson will be making his first appearance of the season while competing in the 60- yard dash. This meet should help determine the 22-man travel squad for the SWC meet held next week in Fort Worth. “We’ve been working pretty good,’’ said Nelson, “and they’ve (the team) been reacting to it real well. Nelson said the Aggies are in the midst of a rebuilding year because of the youth of the team. Only six seniors are on a roster that includes a dozen freshmen. “It’s going to take awhile. They’ve got some ability but they’re not going to tear the world apart yet, ” said Nel son.

The competition could not be rated first class, but it is fast and furi ous just the same. What the teams call themselves may or may not reflect their ability. One would be curious to know who came up with the names as some are quite amusing. Valley Rats Plus, Piranhas, Over the Hill Gang, Nerds, Fur Burgers and Red Necks are a few of the more attractive names on the list. There are seven divisions in the competition. Within each division are four to 23 leagues. League win ners will go on to compete for their division title. Play-off games will be set up to determine the All- Intramural Champion. The competi tion is still a long way from over, but there are some early leaders in each division. High Rollers, Nailers, Keese- Saints and IM Shafted are winning three to four games to lead the Inde pendent Division. This is the largest division of the seven.
