Tonight, they weren’t screening me out, so I went to the offensive boards and put the shots back in.” |J| Several of Riley’s baskets came on follow-shots after his own misses. He and Woods com bined for 33 rebounds, match ing the Cougars’ team total, while the Aggies finished with 48 rebounds. n“I know that I want the con ference championship this year, and if we keep up this intensity, were going to have a good chance to get it,” Riley said. ■ “When I knew my touch was there, I started taking the shots. Tvhat was as open as I’ve been all year long. Tonight, I had many opportunities to put the shots back in.” I Riley said his performance will provide incentive to do as well in future games. ■ “It really means a lot to me, because a game like I had tonight is the kind you really look for,” Riley said. “I feel that every game I go into, I’m going t0 remember what I did tonight, and how I got open, and just work on doing the same thing.” During the first eight minutes of the game, the two teams were tied five times, and there were six lead changes. The Aggies took a 16-14 lead on Riley’s short jumper in the lane with 12:54 left in the first half, and from that point on, the Cougars never led.

A new University scoring record was set Satur day night as the Texas A&M Gymnastics team soared to victory and strengthened its undefeated lead over the Texas Gymnastics Conference. The men, now 3-0 on the season, scored 198.6 points in winning the triangular meet. UT placed second with 184.65 while the University of Texas- Arlington scored 167.6 in its third-place perform ance. The team easily surpassed the old Texas A&M record of 189 points, which the Aggies had set in a victory over UT-A earlier in the season. Victory in the meet was especially sweet for Aggie co-captain Mark Hartwell, who spent four years on the UT team before coming to the Texas A&M veterinary school three years ago. The Longhorns have won two consecutive TGC championships and had never lost a meet with the Aggies in the three-year history of the conference. That statistic changed Saturday, when the Aggies defeated Texas in four of the six events. The Longhorns managed to win only two events Saturday night. Texas A&M’s four victories came in the floor exercise, still-rings, vault and high bar, with com petitors also placing high in the parallel-bars and pommel horse. Hartwell was selected gymnast of the meet by his teammates after winning three events for the Aggies and leading the team in another. He was first in the floor exercise (8.85), rings (8.55) and vault (8.9). David Semon, a senior physics major, won the Aggies’ other first-place event, the high bar, with three other Texas A&M gymnasts placing in the top six. Semon also placea sixth in the All-around competition, a category limited to gymnasts who compete in every event.
