Peggy Pope raked the boards clean and muscled her way inside time af tertime in the contest in leading the Ags to the win. Coach Cherri Rapp’s team, as usual, got help from the entire bench as nine players scored in the contest. Pope was the leading scorer and re bounder with 24 points and 10 re bounds before she fouled out late in the game. Lori Foreman pulled down nine rebounds and added 11 points, while Cathy Fuller tossed in 14 points for A&M. A&M shot a respectable 49 per- DePaul still No. 1 Lori Foreman cent from the floor and connected on 70 percent of its free throws to outdo the Coogs in both categories. Hous ton could only manage 39 percent from the field and 47 percent from the line as the Aggie defense forced outside shots virtually the entire game. For Houston Vickie Finch scored 14 points, Kip Anderson scored 13 and Cheryl Gardley scored 10 to lead the point producers. Finch was Houston’s leading rebounder with 10. The game started with both teams playing deliberately and working for inside shots. The Aggies were more successful in the venture, being able to pass underneath to Foreman and letting Pope muscle in with turnar ound jumpers. Cathy Fuller The Aggies went into the locker room with a slim 33-29 lead, but it was already obvious they were in command. A&M came back out ready to run and did. But so did Houston. Again A&M held the up per hand, though, outscoring the visitors 42-35 in the final twenty mi nutes. The Aggies will play next in Waco Wednesday immediately preceding the men’s game. Both teams will be playing Baylor with the women’s game scheduled for 5:30 p.m. The ladies have five days off before traveling to Lubbock where they will meet Texas Tech in the first half of a doubleheader Monday, game time there is 4:30 p.m. Peggy Pope grabs loose ball after a missed shot, staff photo by Lynn Blanco MSC HOSPITALITY. INTERVIEWS Blue Demons — nation’s only unbeaten United Press International NEW YORK — Once again De- Paul was virtually a unanimous choice as the top-ranked college bas ketball team in the country and Ore gon State was a strong second, but intense regional play elsewhere caused some shifts among the elite in UPl’s weekly balloting. With 37 of the 42 coaches on UPl’s College Board of Coaches reporting, Ray Meyer’s Blue Demons collected 36 first-place votes and 554 points to remain atop the weekly list after ex tending their perfect season with two victories. DePaul downed Alabama- Birmingham 57-54 and Evansville 105-94 to raise its record to 17-0. Oregon State which routed Cali fornia 86-55 over the weekend drew one first-place mention and totalled 504 votes to hold on to second place. But a couple of intra-conference surprises and continued dominance of the East by Syracuse precipitated some scrambling in the middle of the top 10. Duke scored two triumps during the week but a 90-84 Atlantic Coast Conference loss to Virginia cost the Blue Devils dearly as they fell four notches to seventh. Syracuse meanwhile bolstered its claim as the best in the East with victories over Detroit, Rutgers and Connecticut to move into the No. 3 slot. The Orangemen, 17-1, gar nered 373 points to advance two rungs. Virginia also played a role in deter mining the fourth-place team. Ohio State, 14-3, rallied for a 70-65 triumph over the Squires Sunday to hold on to fourth place — a spot that seemed gone for sure after the Buck eyes’ 72-71 loss to Big Ten rival Wis consin Saturday. OSU, 14-3 overall and leader in the Big Ten, collected 355 points. Dukes’s plummet allowed Louis ville, 16-2 after beating Marquette, St. Louis and Florida State, to move up a notch to fifth place with 334 points while cross-state rival Ken tucky 17-3 leaped three slots into sixth with 333 points. Duke, 16-3, edged St. John’s by two points for the No. 7 spot despite the Redmen’s victories over Manhat tan Davidson and Villanova. Notre Dame, 12-2 after a rout of Canisius and a 1-point victory over Maryland, followed in ninth with 310 votes and Dr. Samson named to NCAA committee University News Service Dr. Charles H. Samson Jr. of Texas A&M University has been appointed a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Select Committee on NCAA Gov ernance.

Leading the second ten was North Carolina, which moved up a slot with ACC victories over Wake Forest and Clemson. Missouri fell from 10th to 12th after being upset by Oklahoma and Maryland’s impressive show against Notre Dame was good for a one-spot improvement to No. 13. The biggest advance of the week was made by Virginia which vaulted from No. 19 to 14. The Squires are 16-4 overall and 5-2 in the ACC — one game back of Maryland. Weber State, 18-1, moved up a notch to 15th leaving the No. 16 spot to Indiana 11-5. Clemson dropped four spots to No. 17 after a loss to North Carolina and was followed by Brigham Young and Kansas State — two newcomers to the top 20 — and Purdue in 20th.
