In the Association of Intercol
legiate Athletics for Women state
basketball tournament, being held
at Stephen F. Austin in Nacog
doches, the Aggie Ladies basketball
team split its first two games in the
double-elimination tournament.
The Aggies lost their opening-round
game to Lamar 61-56, but re
bounded in their second-round
match by downing Texas Women’s
University 85-60 to stay alive in the
tourney.
In the morning contest the Aggies
jumped off to a 27-20 lead at the half
over Lamar, hitting on 46 percent of
their shots from the floor. But in the
second half Texas A&M could not
slow down the Cardinals as Lamar
rammed in 41 second-half points to
out-distance the Aggies.
Lisa Hughes led Aggie scorers
with 10 points, hitting five of 11
shots from the field. Peggy Pope
pulled down 10 rebounds as the Ag
gies out- rebounded Lamar 41-35.
Because of the first-round loss the
Aggies advanced into the consola
tion bracket of the tournament and
faced TWU, loser to SFA 108-52
Europe for rent
$260/2months
When you’ve got a Eurail Youthpass it’s like having a
lease on Europe. Because for just $260, you get 2 months
of unlimited Economy train travel in 15 European
countries.
With your Youthpass you can go virtually anywhere
from the Costa Brava to Delphi, anytime you want. And
unlike hitching, we don’t leave you in the middle of
nowhere, instead, you'll travel on fast, comfortable trains
to the heart of your next bustling city or quaint village.
And because most Europeans travel by train all the
time, you’re bound to meet the real people of Europe
along the way.
You'll even get a chance to do something you may never
have done before. Sleep on a train, it beats camping out,
and it’s only a few dollars more for a "couchette.”
Even after you're off the train, your Youthpass still saves
you money. Here are only a few examples: Free lake
cruises. Free ferry rides across the Adriatic. Free steamer
trips on the Baltic. And free cruises down the Rhine. Not to
mention reduced rates on buses.
To get your Youthpass you must be under 26. And you
must buy it from your Travel Agent in the U.S. because it
can’t be purchased in Europe. Of course we won’t start
counting your 2 months of unlimited travel until you first
use your Youthpass over there. Then, once you're off, it’s
adios, arrivederci, bon voyage and auf wiedersehen.
So send for our free brochure and find
out how to see all of Europe without
spending all your money. You’ll soon see
why we re one of Europe's biggest
rental agents.

Led by Hughes’s 16 points, Texas
A&M downed TWU 85-60 and
knocked the Denton team out of the
tournament. In the contest the Ag
gies hit 57 percent of their shots.
Julia Crawford added 15 points in
the victory and Susan Kimbro hit 13
points and collected 10 rebounds.
With the victory Texas A&M con
tinues in the three-day affair,
scheduled to play the Baylor Bearet-
tes this morning. Because of the
first-round loss the best the Aggies
can finish is fifth in the tournament.
The first five finishers gain automa
tic byes into the regional tourna
ment March 8-10 in Tulsa.
“I’m happy with everything so
far,’’ Coach Wanda Bender said of
the tournament. “We should have
beaten Lamar, but we might be in
better shape with the loss.
“I think we have a good chance
against Baylor tomorrow. I know
this much, we’re going to give it a
jolly good show. We re not going to
belly up, that’s for sure.”
