The Aggie Ladies tried every
trick in the book in trying to
keep up with Texas, but the
front line of Texas was too
strong, too talented and too big
for Texas A&M.
Texas’ trio of Esoleta Whaley,
Terri Mackey and Annette
Smith scored a total of 50 points
from the inside game. Smith was
the main cog in the Lady Lon
ghorn machine as she netted 20
points on 10 of 15 shooting,
hauled in seven rebounds, gave
out three assists, had three steals
and blocked three shots.
Time after time the Aggie
Ladies were forced to shoot
from the outside — and that was
the main reason Texas A&M
only shot 39 percent from the
floor.
Leading the Aggies were Kel
li Harned with 11 points and
eight rebounds, Janet Duckham
with eight points and Kelly
Krauskopf with six.
The Aggie Ladies’ record fell
to 1 -3 in conference and 9-10 on
the year with the loss. Texas, on
the other hand, raised its record
to 4-0 in conference and 15-2 on
the year.
The Lady Longhorns have
now beaten Texas A&M eight
straight times, with the last
Aggie win coming five years ago.
Texas A&M is the last confer
ence school to have beaten
Texas. Last season, UT defeated
the Aggie Ladies by 40 points.
Texas has now won 10 games
in a row. Their last defeat was
Dec. 20 when they lost to top-
ranked Louisiana Tech.
Texas A&M will meet Texas
Tech tonight in G. Rollie White
Coliseum. Game time is 4:45
p.m. The Lady Longhorns defe
ated Texas Tech earlier this sea
son 75-71. On Saturday, the
Aggie Ladies are at home again,
against Houston. Game time is
5:15.
Men’s track team wins
LSU Invitational meet
You can’t get much better than
100 percent.
And the men’s track team is
right at that mark after winning
their second straight meet
championship at the 16th
annual LSU Invititational Sun
day in Baton Rouge, La.
The Aggies scored 117 points
to claim the title, defeating
Southwest Conference foe Uni
versity of Texas. The Lon
ghorns finished second with 102
points.
The University of Houston
was third with 67, Alabama was
fourth with 58, LSU fifth with
48, and Florida State sixth with
41.
Last Saturday the Aggies cap
tured the team championship in
the Sooner Relays on the Uni
versity of Oklahoma campus. It
was their first meet of the
season.
Texas A&M used a well-
balanced attack to place first in
the LSU Invitational. The
Aggies had at least one score in
every event, and in the 60-yard
hurdles, 600-yard run, pole
vault, and high jump, they
claimed three of the top six
places.
Texas A&M won four event
championships, including Tony
Grier in the 440-yard dash with
a time of 48.34, Tony Tolson in
the 600-yard run with a time of
1:10.54, Jimmy Howard in the
high jump with a mark of 7-2
3/4, and the mile relay team of
Clif Chatham, Tony Grier, Bill
Shelton and Tony Tolson with a
time of 3:15.14.

United Press International
GREENSBORO, N.C. —
Only the lure of television
exposure drew coach Eddie
Sutton and the Arkansas
Razorbacks to Greensboro,
N.C., Sunday and as it
turned out, it was a trip they
were glad they made.
In a quality basketball
? ;ame filled with tight de-
ense, questionable calls, 13
ties and 17 lead changes, the
Razorbacks brought a little
prestige back with them
from North Carolina in
addition to a 68-65 victory
over the Wake Forest
Deacons.
It was a win big enough to
satisfy the folks in Fayettevil
le for a while, at least until
the Houston Cougars come
calling on March 3.
“I’d never play a noncon
ference game at this point in
the season unless it was a na
tionally televised game,” said
Sutton before his team left
Arkansas. “The game is im
portant because so many
people will be watching us
play.”
But the game wasn’t ex
actly nationally televised.
Some folks saw UCLA beat
Notre Dame as a tune-up for
Super Bowl XVII and others
saw Arkansas and Wake
Forest battle hard for 40 full

Some of Arkansas'M / -
memorable moments:
last few years havei
against Wake Forest|
1977 the Razorbacks 1
26-1 record and hadasJ
able halftime lead over
Deacons in the NCAA ft
offs only to falter undf
full-court press and en
tually lose, 86-80.
East year the Dean
again rallied to beat Art
sas in Little Rock, 494
But on Sunday theRf
backs hung in agains
talented team in a hostiti
minutes.
Not until Ricky Norton
hit a nervous free throw with
two seconds left did Arkan
sas finally wrap up a game in
which it was a three-point
underdog.
It was the 17th victory
against a single loss for 11th-
ranked Arkansas, which had
been criticized in some quar
ters this year for building up
its record with a soft in
tersectional schedule.
The Razorbacks can now
rest until Wednesday night
when they return to league
action at home against the
Rice Owls. That night will
also mark the return of the
Houston Cougars to SWC
play, having been idle since
running away from the Owls
last Wednesday evening.
Houston will eritertain
Baylor Wednesday night
vironment.
Wake Forest jumped
quick 7-2 lead after Art
sas had missed three lap
But with center Joe ft
working free inside
helping control the!»
boards, the Hogs strujf
back to tie the gameatii I
36-36.
The Deacons went
front at 54-53 with sisi
nutes to play after Sul
had picked up a tec\
foul, but Darrel) Walker
basket with just over five
nutes left to push the Hi
back in front.
The game was tied at
60 when Walker madei
first of two free tin
opportunities with 1:11
maining. He missed t
second, but Alvin Robefl
tipped in the missed sM
give Arkansas a threef
lead.
Norton took over in
final moments, hittingl
free shots with 23 seed
left, two more with
seconds to go and anotl
with two seconds remain!
Robertson equaled
season high with 23 pO
while Kleine scored20"
