As everyone who ran out to the ( local stop and rob yesterday morn ing at the crack of dawn to get a copy of the DMN knows, that story 1 did not run. Mercifully, thankfully, finally something went right for a football program that has been careening to ward disaster since mid-December of last year when the News first broke the "Gilbert pay-for-sleep" de bacle. Unfortunately though, this foot ball program is not out of trouble yet. There are at least three reasons why the story did not run. Reporters have been wrong n #41 or« mna Rggies The sportscaster that works for the local network affiliate could have been given some bad informa tion from a source he trusted. If this is the case, the story will never run and a local television fig ure has his ego chopped down to half of its normal size for a few months. And while he will probably not be in any danger of being sued. See Davis/Page 6 Lady Aggies hold off TCU, 79-74 A&M tops Frogs - / C ' C7 in first SWC, road victory A&M ups record to 9-5 after third straight victory By DAVID WINDER The Battalion Every time freshman point guard Lisa Branch touched the ball Saturday night, one of the Lady Aggies scored. Branch set a Southwest Conference record with 19 assists as Texas Christian made a late charge before falling 79-74 in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Yolanda Brown led the Lady Aggies with 14 points, with Beth Burket and Branch both chipping in 12. Amy Bum- stead had 27 points for the Lady Homed Frogs, scoring 20 in the first half. The Lady Aggies went on a 22-8 run to begin the game as they scored 12 points on eight TCU turnovers. Bumstead then scored 11 of the next 12 to bring the Frogs back into the game at 22-20. "I'll take the blame for the lull in the first half," A&M head coach Lynn Hickey said. "I did a mass substitution and I looked up and there was only one starter on the floor." Branch then took over as she handed out seven assists and hit a key three pointer to give the Lady Aggies a 41-33 lead at the half. "I learned that I had eleven assists at halftime," Branch said. "That's when I told the girls that I wanted to break the record." She did not miss a beat coming back from the break, giving out two quick as sists to make the score 45-34. Debbie Biermann scored her tenth point on a layup to give the Lady Aggies their biggest lead at 57-42. "I gave Debbie a look there in the sec ond half," Hickey said, "And the way she responded, I think I am going to have to start giving her some more looks." After getting no closer than 10 points for most of the second half, the Lady Horned Frogs found themselves only down 75-71 after a jumper by Rachel See TCU/Page 6 ROBERT } REED/The Battalion A&M center Martha McClelland (54) fires up a shot against TCU's Amy Bumsted.

Texas A&M 60, Texas Christian Uni versity 58 was a real victory. Barone and the rest of his Aggie bas ketball squad played in another tight game that wasn't decided until the final shot on Saturday, but for the first time in a long time the Aggies were victorious af ter the shot had been attempted. "I started wondering if anything good was going to happen for us," Barone said. The outcome could have been very different as A&M did not capitalize on opportunities late in the game to put the contest out of reach, missing five of seven free throws in the final minutes of the game to let TCU have a shot at victory. The Horned Frogs squandered that opportunity when Allen Tolley missed a free throw that would have brought TCU to within one point of the Aggies with 12 seconds remaining in the game. But TCU's Jentry Moore came down with the rebound and had his three point shot attempt rattle around the rim of the basket before falling out as A&M’s Brett Murry was fouled, giving A&M another chance to put the game away. Murry, however, missed both free throws, and Moore drove the ball down the floor before he dished the ball to By ron Waits who missed a turn around jump shot at the buzzer, preserving the Aggie victory. Junior Guard David Edwards led all A&M scorers with 17 points and 3 assists, as Sophomore forward Damon Johnson added 12 points and shot .750 from the floor. The Aggies outshot the Horned Frogs .514 to .426 on the afternoon, and despite poor free throw shooting down the stretch, won that category also, .655 to .571. n r, an- would of its about ar ear- id em- rategy in its could loyees aq, no ight. essary siness 90s,'' itrong really re on r > vesti- ice of n ap- le re- with ubse- h the nt on int to liver- 1 ha- f any been lead- the >f the ersi- t in- ; in- tate- she inal ; are iant IS sent ion. >tu- :ent out on. aed los r of we ' jca- se- the ns, igi- at- d a »P- its, m- ur 2a- m- D- tat f 7 FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT BSC OFFICE: 8451320 - SPONSORED BY BUSINESS STUDENT COUNCIL, COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY
