It’s time for them to put their chips on the table and eal the cards. Tonight at 7 o’clock, the Aggies open post-season play against the Texas Tech Red Raiders in the sec ond round of the Southwest Confer ence Post-Season Classic. Being held in the Summit for the third year in a row, six teams have earned the right to battle for the automatic berth into the NCAA playoff’s. In the lower bracket, the winner of tonight’s Aggie-Red Raider match will play co-champion Arkansas Fri day night. In tonight’s second game, scheduled for 9 o’clock, the Hous ton Cougars challenge the Baylor Bears for the right to face confer ence co-champion Texas in the semi finals Friday night. Winners Friday play Saturday for the NCAA berth. Because of their victory over TCU last Saturday, the Raiders advanced to the Summit to face Texas A&M. The Aggies, finishing 11-5 and third in conference play, earned a first- round bye in the tourney. In their first meeting this year, played in G. Rollie White Coliseum, the Aggies took a narrow 68-63 ver dict. But on their trip to Lubbock late in the season, the Aggies were nipped by the Raiders 67-63 in one of the key games of the SWC title ch ase. The loss to Tech was the third in a row for the Aggies and ended all title hopes for Coach Shelby Metcalf. Be fore traveling to the panhandle, Texas A&M lost consecutive games to Texas in Austin and Arkansas in Fayetteville. The game in Lubbock was no sur prise; the Red Raiders have always played the Aggies tough. The series, spanning a 21-year period, is knotted at 21 wins apiece going into tonight’s game. “I don’t know what it is, but Tech always gives us a good ball game,” Metcalf said about the series. “And it doesn’t matter where we play them. It’s always a battle to the end.” Engineering & Computer Science Majors WATCH FOR THE HUGHES RECRUITER VISITING YOUR CAMPUS SOON. Contact your placement office for interview dates.

HARTFORD, CONN Tech Coach Gerald Myers thinks his Raiders have a fair shot at best to win the tournament. “Our team can only be considered a dark horse at best,” Myers said. “We’re not real strong on the boards, and we’ve got to get somebody to come through for us to neutralize the rebounding. “A&M is certainly capable of win ning it all. With their front line (Rudy Woods, Rynn Wright and Vernon Smith) they have to be con sidered a contender for the top spot. And they’ve also got good guards that if left alone can sink the outside shot.” Myers declined on picking a fa vorite to win the tournament. Team by team he feels that anyone of them could advance into the NCAA tour nament. “The teams are so evenly matched it’s hard to pick a winner,” Myers said. “In one bracket you have Texas, Baylor and Houston. And in the other you have Arkansas, Texas A&M and Tech. “I guess I’d have to go with Texas in their bracket because of their ex perience. Houston is the darkhorse. They’ve played well near the end of the regular season. “But with Vinnie Johnson, you can’t count out Baylor. They’ve upset some teams this season. “In the other bracket it’s tough to pick between Arkansas and A&M. I’d probably have to give Arkansas the edge because of Sidney Moncrief. He’s just a fantastic player.” For the first time, officials for the Atlantic Coast Conference will be working the SWC tournamei two conferences have made in officials to try and get ai truer feeling of impartiality. “The most important reasoi doing this, ” Myer explained, cause we have so many goodn that are alumni of schools tournament. Since an officii work a game that involves hiss this eliminates a lot of the good “Our officials are in favor trade. I wouldn’t want todoil officials couldn’t go somewheri If this doesn’t work, wecanak back to the way we were doit Things are already hr about for next year’s tc The losers of tonight’s begin thinking about ne well.
