our sponsors at ‘Cycles Etc.’,”
Scurlock says.
The Primavera is a point-to-
point road race with the dis
tance differing on the category.
Categories one, two and three
will race 46 miles while the cat
egory fours, women and veter
ans will race 25 miles. The ju
nior category, age 18 and under,
will race 10 miles.
The race course is just south
west of Austin over the rolling
hills of Buda.
Once the season starts there
will be at least two races every
week, Scurlock says.
Kevin Jones, the promotional
director for the team, says the
A&M team plans a race April 8
here in College Station. Jones, a
junior electrical engineering
major from Arlington, says the
team also is planning a race for
the student body March 24.
Scurlock says the cycling
team is trying to become a club
that can help the University and
not just a cycling team.
“The team hasn’t been very
active in school related activities
in the last few years,” Scurlock

Rockets 111 Sonics 105
HOUSTON — Guard Lewis
Lloyd, with a career high 36
points, led the Houston Rockets
to a 111-105 victory over the
Seattle Supersonics Tuesday
night.
David Thompson led
Seattle’s scoring with 20 points
and Gus Williams added 19.
Ralph Sampson scored 20 for
the Rockets before fouling out
in the last two minutes of the
game.
The Rockets jumped off to a
quick lead 35-23 at the end of
the first quarter, shooting 72
percent from the field led by
Lloyd with 15.
The Rockets extended their
lead 45-29 with three minutes
gone in the second quarter.
Sampson collected his third foul
with 8:13 to play and the Sonics
outscored the Rockets 14-2 in
the next four minutes to narrow
the lead 59-53 at the half.
The Sonics pulled even at 82
at the end of three quarters with
Thompson and Jack Sikma
each scoring 10 points. The
Sonics shot 63 percent from the
field compared to the Rockets’
41 percent.
With 4:13 left in the game,
the score was again tied, this
time at 94 apiece. Sampson and
Terry Teagle each scored
three-point plays to give the
Rockets a six-point lead with
two minutes left. Seattle guard
A1 Wood countered with a
three-point play for Seattle but
the Rockets pulled out the vic
tory with four free throws by
guard Phil Ford and two by
Teagle in the last 20 seconds.
Seattle’s record is now 30-27
in the Pacific Division and the
Rockets improved to 23-35 in
the Midwest Division.
Mavs 116 Spurs 104
SAN ANTONIO — Dallas
forward Mark Aguirre scored
33 points on 14 of 25, shooting
from the field to lead the Mav
ericks to a 116-104 victory over
the San Antonio Spurs Tues
day.
It was the sixth consecutive
loss for the Spurs and spoiled
the homecoming for former
Spur captain James Silas, whose
jersey was retired at halftime.
He was the first American Bas
ketball Association player so
honored by his team.
Aguirre, the second-leading
scorer in the league, had 12 in
the first quarter to rally Dallas
from a 6-0 deficit to a 30-23
lead.
The Spurs, who lost all six of
their February home games,
played without starting center
Artis Gilmore and playmaker
Johnny Moore, who remained
sidelined with injuries.
Forward Mike Mitchell, who
hit only 3-of-10 first quarter
shots, finished with 44 points to
lead San Antonio. The other
four starters combined for a
paltry 33 points on 14 of 41
from the field.
The Mavericks got strong
support from guard Roland
Blackman, who added 30
points, including 10 in the final
seven minutes.
George Gervin brought San
Antonio within 3, 94-91, with
6:55 to play. Blackman an
swered with a layup and a steal
and led a charge that culmi
nated in a 114-102 advantage
before he laid in his final basket
with 51 seconds to play
Dallas got some surprisingly
stong play on the boards, out-
rebounding San Antonio 45-34.
The Mavericks also hit a hot 59
percent from the field.
Riflers win two of three in Missouri
says. “We are trying to rep
resent the school in a proper
way. We want to show that we
aren’t just out for ourselves.”
Another bike race in this area
is the Tour of Texas. This is a
series of national races in Texas
and is by invitation only. The
first race will begin Sunday in
San Marcos.
The coach of the A&M Cy
cling team, Michael Sanders of
the entomology department,
has been invited to race in the
Tour of Texas.
The Texas A&M Rifle Team
swept through the state of Mis
souri this weekend, winning two
of three matches.
At the Camp Perry Individ
ual Rifle Championships in
Booneville, Mo., the Aggies de
feated 34 teams finishing first
in both the team air rifle and
.22 rifle competitions.
Aggie Kevin Schabacker
posted the high score in .22 rifle
category, while Glenn Park won
first in the Air Rifle. Team
member Dana Osborne won top
honors in both categories in the
women’s competition.
A&M then traveled to Rolla,
Mo., to compete in a tourna
ment held by the University of
Missouri. The team finished
second, falling by just four
points to the University of Ken
tucky. Glenn Park won High In
dividual honors in .22 rifle.
Team adviser Maj. Richard
Pitts said it was no surprise Ken
tucky won the match.
“Those shooters are all on
scholarship,” he said.
The last stop for the team
was Springfield, Mo. where the
team won first place in the
Southwest Missouri State Rifle
Match.
