Is a burnt orange jersey all that is
needed to bring the Aggie ladies’
basketball team to life? It seems that
that was the case Monday night in
G Rollie White Coliseum as the
bmen defeated the Longhorns of
Texas 59-52.
Von Bunn was the high scorer in
lie game with 25 points. The only
Aggie
other scorer in double figures was
Pat Werner with 12.
Susan Kimbro came off the bench
midway through the first half to re
lieve Werner who got in early foul
trouble. Kimbro was the leading re
bounder for the Aggies with seven.
Kimbro has been out several
games with an ankle injury but said
that she did not feel the injury in
Monday night’s game.

finish fourth
By SEAN PETTY
The Texas A&M men’s track team
finished fourth in a quadrangular
meet in Baton Rouge, La.
The Aggies competed against
Alabama, LSU and the University of
Houston. Alabama won the meet
with 60 points followed by LSU with
39, Houston 38 and A&M 15.
Manfred Kohrs had the only first
place for the Aggies, winning the
mile run with a time of 4:15.22.
Other Aggie finishers were Billy
Busch who finished third in the 60-
ard high hurdles with a time of
.65, Pat Reuhle taking third place
in the pole vault with a jump of 16
eet and Lane Mitchell finished
third the three mile run with a
imeof 14:19.76. Karl Figgs finished
burth in the 600-yard run with a
ime of 1:13.23 and Mike Whit-
jif/ell took fourth place in the high
ump with a leap of 6-5.
“We didn’t run very well,” coach
Ted Nelson said. Nelson attributed
he poor performance to the lay off
iver the holidays and the bad
veather last week.
“It’s early in the season and we
ihould improve by giving the
ounger guys experience,” Nelson
Said.
Out of the 19 men that
seven were freshmen.
' Although the Aggies had a poor
showing in Baton Rouge, Nelson
feels the team will be a top conten
der for the Southwest Conference
indoor track championship Feb
ruary 17 in Fort Worth.
Nelson said Curtis Dickey and
Mike Mosley will join the team for
their next meet in Oklahoma City
February 10. Nelson feels these two
will help the team immensely giving
A&M strength in the sprints and
long jump.
Nelson added the meet in Okla
homa City will have 25 teams from
around the country and will be a lit
tle more competitive.
“The early team fouls hurt us a
lot,” coach Wanda Bender said.
“Susan had her best game of the
season when she replaced Werner
late in the first half.”
In the second half, the Ags started
coming to life after being down by
eight. With 4:09 left in the game,
the women took the lead and even
tually won it by seven.
The A&M women finished the
game hitting 48 percent of their
shots, while Texas connected on
only 39 percent.
Bender said her girls had been
practicing four to five hours a night
for this game. She added that they
were now in the best physical condi
tion that she had ever seen them in
this season.
The sellout crowd of 7,500
seemed to help the Ag’s spirits and
give them the added incentive to
win.
“It makes the girls want to give it
their best'shot, ” Bender said.
In the second half, the women
took control of the game. Bender
said the Texas game plan did not
hold any surprises for them. She
added that the team had spent at
least 40 minutes each night working
on their press.
“The effort of the yell leaders at
our game was also a great factor in
the win,” Bender said. She added
that she was very pleased with their
presence.
Bunn also remarked that the
crowd had a big effect on her play
ing in Monday night’s game.
The Aggie ladies’ next home game
is Friday night at 7:30 in G. Rollie
White Coliseum against McLennan
Community College.
