The Bears, who won this same event last year, had firsts in three relays and five individual events. Baylor would have swept all four re lays, but were beaten in the sprint relay by 0.05 of a second by North Texas State. The Aggies’ strongest showing was in the field events. Three men finished first, second and sixth in the discus. They were Steve Stewart, Randy Scott and Frank West respec tively. Stewart’s toss was 186-3 and ec lipsed the old record of 175-2 set in 1974 by Rice’s Buddy Briscoe. Three Aggies also finished in the shot put. They were Scott, Craig Carter and West who finished sec ond, third and fourth behind North Texas State’s Phil Hall. Another key victory for the Aggies in the field events was in the pole vault. Brad Blair won the event with a jump of 16-6 and narrowly missed at 17-0, which would have qualified him for the Olympics. Joe Har rington placed sixth with a jump of 13-6. Bill Newton was the only Aggie who was a repeat winner at the meet. He tossed the javelin 210-10, while Stewart finished sixth with a toss of 156-8. Baylor won the event with a record meet time of 40.3. The 120 high hurdles found the Aggies’ Shifton Baker finishing third with a time of 14.1. This was the time he ran last year when he set the meet record. The record was broken by Dave Duncan of Baylor who ran a quick 13.8. The Aggie thinclads held first place through the field events, but found the running events belonging to Baylor. The Aggies finished fourth in the sprint relay with a time of 40.9. The Aggies’ best effort in the run ning events came in the 440 inter mediate hurdles. Curtis Collier and Bilker finished 1-2 and only 0.05 of a second apart. Collier’s time was 52.8 and Baker’s was 52.85. Baseball rankings at stake this weekend file shootout of the meeL,, tween the Bears and the Jhe 1 the two-mile relay.

Now Montreal must wait to see what happens in the other three series. Game Five in all three series are scheduled for Tuesday night with Los Angeles at Boston, the New York Islanders at Buffalo and To ronto at Philadelphia. All three se ries are tied 2-2 and the sixth game in each of the best-of-seven series are scheduled for Thursday night. That means the earliest the semi finals can begin woidd be Saturday night. And if any of the current quarter-finals stretches to seven games, the Canadiens would have to wait until Tuesday, April 27, for the semifinals to begin. That would mean nine days between games for Montreal. Whatever the result of the other three series, Montreal will play the survivor with the fewest number of regular-season points. The Cana diens will also have the home-ice edge in the semis as well as the finals; if they get that far. The Canadiens, earned those advantages by posting a league-leading 127 points during the regular season. And they looked every bit that strong in eliminating Chicago. “It’s pretty tough to win four straight from anybody, observed Montreal Coach Scotty Bowman. “We certainly did not overpower the Black Hawks.” The Canadiens defense surren dered only three goals in the lour games against Chicago. In two of the other series, momentum has switched with the home-ice advantage. Buffalo and Philadelphia hope that trend con tinues. Buffalo won its first two games at home, then dropped the next two at New York. Philadelphia’s defending Stanley Cup champions won their first two at home, then lost Games Three and Four in Toronto. Boston and Los Angeles, mean while, split two games apiece on each other’s ice. Two straight losses to the Islan ders hardly bothered Punch Imlach, Buffalo’s general manager. “If they get the next game, then I'll start to worry,” said Imlach. “I never ex- A pected four straight.

Pistons stop Bucks, 107-104 Braves down 76ers Associated Press It was a short but rough road the Buffalo Braves and Detroit Pistons traveled. Now they’ve got to try and scale a couple of cliffs. The Braves squeezed past Philadelphia in the best-of-three preliminary round of the National Basketball Association playoffs, beat ing the 76ers 124-123 in overtime Sunday. Now they run smack into the Bos- CHARLIS BOUTIQUE cUsiTlf JUST ARRIVED! LARGE SHIPMENT OF JEANS.

But perhaps an even tougher task confronts the Pistons. First of all, a lot of fans think they shouldn’t have been in the playoffs to begin with, considering they finished the season 10 games under .500 — matching the worst record an NBA team has ever taken into the playoffs — and two games behind Midwest Division winner Mil waukee. Then they had to go down to the wire before taking their best-of- three series from the Bucks with a 107-104 victory Sunday. And now they have to play the Golden State Warriors who happen to be not only the winningest team in the Western Conference but the winningest team in the league — and the NBA defending champion to boot.
