In the past, when the Aggies
made their annual visit to Gregory
Gym in Austin, the games were ex
citing and entertaining.
But oh, the times they are
a-changing. Not only is Gregory
gym a thing of the past, but so are
the exciting games between Texas
and A&M. Or so it seemed Monday
night when the Aggies made their
first visit to the “Super Drum and
came away with a 90-66 dismanding
at the hands of the Longhorns.
And it was a good return for the
Longhorns who have had a week off
from conference play.
“We did look a little lackadaisical
tonight,” said Texas’ coach Abe
Lemmons after the game. “Our of
fense wasn’t as productive as I
hoped it would of been. But that’s
because of our week lay-off. But lis
ten to me. We went out and scored
90 points tonight and fm worried
about the offense.”
But one man the Lemmons
doesn’t have to worry about is guard
Jim Krivacs. Playing the entire ball
gane, Krivacs destroyed the Aggies
with 34 points, 24 of them in the
first half.
“The team just kept getting the
ball to me in the first half and my
shots were dropping,” said Krivacs.

If you think finding your way around the computer career maze has to be confusing, think
smart.
If you think all computer companies offer the same challenges and opportunities, think
“They (Aggies) couldn’t stop the
double pick that we were using. 1
was just cutting off of it and I kept
getting open for the shots.
“Theoretically, you can’t defend
against that play. If a team keys on
me someone else will get open. But
the key to running the play is pa
tience. If we’re patient, our offense
will work.”
And Texas was patient to the tune
of shooting 46 per cent from the
field. The Aggies shot 33 per cent.
One thing that surprised Texas
about the game was A&M falling
behind early in the second half and
not going to the full-court press that
they used so effectively against
Texas the last time the two clubs
met.
“One reason I think they stayed
away from the press was because it
was their first time in the building,’
said Lemmons. “It was probably
hard for them because our court is
so far away from the stands that it
looks a lot wider than it really is.
“But I really think that we re too
fast for them to press us. We have a
lot of good ball handlers on this club.
Plus we’ve been practicing it since
the last time we played.”
Texas forward Ron Baxter, who
had 10 points, seven assists and
seven rebounds on the night, had a
different view of the game.
“This game wasn’t as physical as
the one we played in College Sta
tion. We were in control of the con
test tonight. That was our main ob
jective going into the game. We
wanted to control, force them into
making some early mistakes and
then jump on them offensively.
And it worked.”
One reason the Texas game plan
worked is the fact that A&M had 27
turnovers in the game to 11 for
Texas.
“That was the difference in the
game,” said Lemmons. “Though
they did out rebound us (64-42),
they kept giving the ball back to us.
“But we didn’t do too bad from

And if you know there’s a difference between a computer job and a computer career, think
Prime.

world. We need bright, career-minded engineers who are ready to meet the challenges o(
today’s technology and make original contributions for tomorrow’s computers.

our engineering department who’ll tell you about a computer career at Prime.
While you’re signing up, take one of our brochures. It includes our answers to some
questions we think you should ask any college recruiter. And when you read the brochure
you’ll see what three graduates of the class of’77 have to say about why they came to Prime.

It’s too bad that Johnny "Lain
Jones of the University of Texas will
not be at this week’s Southwest
Conference indoor track cham
pionship in Ft. Worth.
It s bad because he will be unable
to compete against A&M s Curtis
Dickey in the 60-yard dash. The
meeting would have brought to
gether two world-class sprinters.
, Curtis Dickey and the rest of the
Aggie men’s track team ran at an in
door meet in Oklahoma City, Okla.
Dickey surpassed all of the coaches
expectations by winning the 60-yard
dash in a blistering time of 6.17. The
time is six-hundredths of a second
off the world record set by Houston
McTear.
Jones is Texas’ premiere sprinter
and “world's fastest football player.
This could be disputed by Dickey,
but the two will have to wait until

May at the outdoor SWC cham
pionship to decide just who is the
fastest.
Dickey feels he can improve his
time this week because he ran in the
last meet with only one week s
workout.
“Curtis just ran a super race,'
coach Ted Nelson said. "He came
out of the blocks well and finished
well ahead of the pack.’
Nelson also explained that the
race was electronically timed which
eliminated human error.
Manfred Kohrs also ran well for
the Aggies. He broke the school
record for the indoor mile run with a
time of 4:11.
Coach Nelson said he was pleased
with the team’s over all performance
and said they should be “right in the
running’ for the indoor cham
pionship this Friday in Ft. Worth.
Other Aggies who scored points
were Randy Scott who placed third
in the shot-put with a toss of 55-3.
