Aggies Host Mustangs In Final Home Game TonightBy GARY SHERER

Battalion Sports EditorThe title-clinching Southern

Methodist Mustangs will be at G. Rollie White Coliseum tonight for an 8 o’clock encounter with the Aggies.

SMU CLINCHED its third straight Southwest Conference championship Saturday night with a come-from-behind 85-84 victory over the Rice Owls at Houston.

This was the eighth conference title for SMU Coach E. O. (Doc) Hayes. The win made the Mus­

tangs 10-2 in league play and they will enter the NCAA finals in March.

SMU’s well-balanced attack ac­counts for the team’s success this season. The first four starters, plus a sometime starter, are all averaging above 11 points for SWC play.

CHARLES BEASLEY, 6-5 sen­ior forward from Shreveport, La., leads the Mustangs in SWC scor­ing with a 15.9 mark and is run­ner-up for the season with a 15.0 norm.

Denny Holman is the Mus­tangs’ leading season scorer with a 15.5 mark and is second in SMU league-scoring with a 16.3 aver­age. The 6-3 senior from Dallas was the hero in the Rice win, as he tossed in two free throws with five seconds remaining.

Bob Begert and Lynn Phillips are two other starters averaging in double figures. Phillips, 6-7 sophomore from Houston, is third in both season and league scoring for the Ponies, with 14.3 and 14.2 averages, respectively. Begert,

6-6 senior from Canyon, has a 13.5 SWC mark and is 13.0 for the season.

Bill Voight, sophomore forward from Dallas, though only a some­time starter, has a 11.5 season mark and is 10.5 for the confer­ence.

WITH FIVE players in double­figures so often, the Mustang at­tack is hard to stop.

In their first game, played Jan. 7 at Dallas, the Aggies fell to the Ponies, 80-67. The Aggies will be looking for an upset to extend their home record to 7-3 for the

season. Their SWC record is now 5-7.

The Aggies did not help their road record over the weekend as they dropped a Saturday after­noon game to the Texas Long­horns at Austin, 72-58.

IN THE GAME, the Aggies led most of the first half. But as has been the case for most of the losses this year, the young team lost its lead with about one min­ute to play and the halftime score read 32-31 for Texas.

Texas came out after intermis­sion and put an attack together

that was better than its first half performance, as they had been very sloppy in their play.

Where Texas improved, the Aggies didn’t and halfway into the second stanza, the game was all but decided, as Texas was ahead by 52-42.

EIGHT MINUTES later, it was 64-49 as Noel Stout, the Long­horns’ high-point man with 16, led the Texas onslaught.

The Aggies were only 41.9 from the field, as that second-half cold spell was the villain again. The

shooting percentage for the Ag­gies in the second half tells just how much the cold spell gripped the Maroon and White.

Hitting on only 7 of 24, the Aggies had a dismal 29.1 from the field.

BILLY BOB BARNETT was again the outstanding player for the Aggies. The Brenham soph­omore hit on six of 11 from the field and eight of 10 from the free throw line to take game hon­ors for both teams with 20 points. John Underwood added 12.

Owing to a huge sale of tickets at the door, Freshman class president Gerry Geistweidt said the dance was a complete finan­cial success.

Foreign Students Now Number 590

International student enroll­ment for the spring semester is up 13 per cent over the same period last year, according to Ribert L. Melcher, foreign stu­dent advisor.

Melcher’s figures show 590 students enrolled from 61 differ­ent countries. India, Mexico, Pakistan, the Dominican Repub­lic, China and Tunisia lead the list.

India registered 71, including 68 graduate students.

Undergraduates total 252 and graduate students, 311.

Total enrollment at A&M top­ped 9,800 for the spring semester.

Freshman class treasurer Bob Stevenson reported that “though not tallied yet, the total income will be about $1500.” He also said that “there should be about a $200 profit which will be used to pay previous expenses.”

Juniors Announce Entry Deadline For Sweetheart

Deadline for turning in photo­graphs of entries at the Student Programs Office for junior class sweetheart will be noon March 15.

“We want the entire class of '68 to get behind this year’s ball and the selection of class sweet­heart,” John Daly, junior class social secretary, said Monday.

Neal Ford and the Fanatics will be featured at this year’s ball and banquet.

“These pictures must measure five by seven or larger,” Daly instructed. “The entry’s name, age, school and academic classi­fication are to be printed on the back of each photograph.”

A sheet of paper with the name, mailing address and dorm and room number of each entry's escort should be attached to the front of each picture.

Pictures will be available on the morning of March 20 in the Student Programs Office.

The decorations, which were designed to highlight the theme of “Underwater in Blue” were handled by a committee of fresh­men. Freshman volunteers also served as waiters for the dance.

The music was provided by the Yaks and the Aggieland orches­tra. By having two bands, the usual breaks without music were alleviated.

Among the honored guests at the dance were President Earl Rudder, Dean James P. Hannigan and this year’s Aggie Sweetheart, Kathy Austin.

The other six finalists for Freshman Sweetheart were Kathy Crews, Karen Cox, Betsy Stark, Deb Spurlock, Janet Feldmann and Cheryl Schneider.

Funeral services for Donald William Luhr, 19, a sophomore architecture major at Texas A&M who was killed Saturday in a parachuting accident, were held at 10 a.m. today in St. Mary’s, Pa.

‘Premarital Sex’Is Bowman Topic In YMCA Forum

“Sex In Human Relations — Premarital” will be discussed by Dr. Henry Bowman, of the Uni­versity of Texas, at the YMCA’s Marriage Forum Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.

Bowman will discuss the ideals and standards of sex morality and how these standards are establish­ed. He also will discuss whether the present day standards make sense and if there is a “sexual revolution.”

Bowman teaches sociology and is widely recognized as an auth­ority on mariage and family life. He was the 1958-59 president of the National Council on Family Relations, an organization of 3,000 teachers, attorneys, clergymen, social workers and others con­cerned with marriage and the family.

He also is known for his book, “Mariage for Modems,” which has been printed in several editions in this country and in several for­eign languages. He also wrote “A Christian Interpretation of Marriage.”

This will be the third in a series of mariage forums. Next Tues­day Dr. Bowman will return to the campus to discuss “Sex In Hu­man Relations — Marital.”

Drill Team Wins 4 Firsts In West Texas Tournament

The Fish Drill Team swept all four first place trophies in the West Texas State College tourna­ment, scoring 983 points out of a possible 1,100.

A&M’s freshmen won firsts in inspection, basic drill, precision drill and overall to take four of five trophies given. New Mexico Military Institute was second overall in the weekend competi­tion at Canyon.

Calvin Reese, team sponsor, said the performance was indica­tive of teamwork.

“The boys are learning to per­form as a team rather than as individuals,” he credited.

A perfect score of 200 in in­spection was the sixth straight top award in the category, dating to the Purdue meet last year.

The Fish have been within 10 points or won precision in their last five engagements.

“The team needs to improve only in dress, cover and uniform­ity to get into good shape,” Reese added. “The best thing they have going is their flexibility. They can’t be shaken up.”

He said the team found out 10 minutes before its precision drill at Canyon one member would be missing, due to a cut wrist.

“They learned of the blank in the formation just before going on the field, made necessary changes and went through the drill without a hitch,” Reese said.

NMMI and West Texas will march in the A&M drill team competition March 11, Reei said. Other teams competing a Canyon were from Amarillo AFB and Texas Tech.
