Aggies win SWC title
by crushing Rice, 98-67
By TONY GALLUCCI
Battalion Sports Writer
The Texas Aggies finished a
controversy-filled regular season
with a victory that should quiet the
non-believers. The Ags devastated
the last place Rice Owls 98-67, to
clinch the Southwest Conference
championship for the second straight
year.
The upset-minded Owls savored
an early lead of 4-0 when the Ags’
Ray Roberts took the matter into his
own hands. Roberts boosted the Ags
into a 10-6 lead with less than five
minutes gone. Rice called time out,
but it did not slow the Ags as they
romped to a 33-17 lead and went into
the locker room at half leading by a
comfortable 51-34 margin. Roberts
scored 14 of those first half points
before taking a seat on the bench and
watching the margin stretch.
With their 51 points in the first,
the Ags broke the school scoring re
cord. They ended the night, having

The Texas A&M Rugby team came
one step closer to the state playoffs
last Saturday with its 40-4 defeat of
Corpus Christi’s Naval Base team.
Wayne Womac of A&M began the
scoring, earning four points on a run
into the end zone. Other goals were
made by Tim Fitch, John Wyble,
Tim Field, John Rayton and Phil
Cook. Bruce Mills earned ten points
on five conversions and kicked a field
goal for three more points. Rayton
executed a three-point drop kick
from 20 yards out to top the victory.
Navy’s only goal was scored on the
opening play of the second half.
The Ruggers now stand 4-0 for the
season and 3-0 in Central Division
League play. This Saturday’s game
against San Antonio begins at 2 p. m.
on the Main Drill Field.
“We’ve got a lot of confidence now
— we stand a good chance of winning
state this year,’’ said rugby player
John Lipscomb. If the team wins the
Saturday game, A&M will go to the
state playoffs in Dallas on April 3 and
4.
— Mary Alice Woodhams
established that record at 2210
points for the season.
Roberts scored 22 for the game,
the high amongst all scorers. All-
America candidate Sonny Parker had
15 points, Jarvis Williams had 14,
Karl Godine and Steve Jones each
had 11 and Barry Davis had 10. Jones
and Wally Swanson each had 12 re
bounds and Williams had nine.
Elbert Darden was Rice’s leading
scorer with 16 and Pete Meyers,
Frank Jackson and Dave Louwerse
each had 10 points. Darden had 14
rebounds.
The Aggies outrebounded Rice
62-43 as the Ags extended national
ranking in rebound margin. The Ags
also out-assisted the Owls 14-9 while
shooting at a 45.5 per cent clip.
“It feels great, yeah, it feels real
good,” said Davis. The senior co
captain is not satisfied though, his
goals are higher yet. “We don’t want
it to end. We want to go further. The
championship means a whole lot, but
we all feel like we can advance in the
playoffs.’
As tor being 16th in the nation, an
honor bestowed Monday by United
Press International, “It’s a real good
feeling. I’m glad somebody recog
nized we can really play basketball,”
said Davis.
Queried as to whether or not he
can consider this his finest team
ever, coach Shelby Metcalf could not
restrain his pleasure. “Yeah, they
are. ” And so the winningest team in
A&M school history must sit back
and wait for two things.
