Wednesday, January 12, 1955 THE BATTALION Page 3 Aggies Lose to SMU 93- Win Krebs Has 26, Brophy 24; Ponies Hit 48 Per Cent Special to The Battalion DALLAS—Southern Methodist, scoring 57 points in a wild second half, over-ran A&M 93-69 in Perkins gym last night for the Mustang’s third Southwest conference win without a loss. A&M, now with a 1-2 conference record, stayed within range of SMU the first three-quarters of the contest, but the hot-shooting Mustangs pulled away after eight minutes of the second half. At that point, the Aggies pulled to within seven points—51-58. The Cadets couldn’t cope with the fast-breaking of SMU, nor could they handle 6-8 center Jim Krebs, who tossed in 26 points for high honors. SMU hit a hot 48 per cent on 30 * field goals out of 63 at--* tempts. A&M hit a respectable 40 ^per cent—23 of 57 attempts, “but the big post man Krebs was too much. John Floyd’s squad looked im- pi'essive in the first half, and trail ed by only seven points on forward Bill Brophy’s 65-footer that was in the air when the halftime hom sounded. His long scoring effort left the crowd of 2,500 gasping for breath until after the intermission. Brophy Leads Ags Brophy was high scorer for A&M with eight field goals and eifeht free throws for a 24 point total. Captain John Fortenberry, handi capped by four fouls early in the second period, totalled 15 points, and gave up the Aggie season scoring lead to Brophy. . „ Center George Mehaffey, giving away four inches in height to his post opponent, Krebs, turned in a creditable defensive performance ulespite the big man’s high scoring output. Mehaffey also scored 15 points before fouling out. Guard Roger Harvey scored 9 /or the Aggies, while foiward Lar ry Showalter and guard Ronnie Morris had 14 and 12, respective ly, for SMU. Ponies Outrebound Forward Joel Krog did heavy duty on the backboards for the Ponies as SMU edged the Cadets in rebounds, 32-28.' The Metho dists also sank 33 of 44 free throws, while the Aggies made 23 of 32. A&M suited up only nine players, and all of them saw action. The Cadets tied the score at 2-2 in the first 40 seconds, but never could Catch up again, though coming dose.

No More Big Bang For UT The University of Texas isn’t going to make that gosh- awful noise everytime they make a touchdown anymore. The University officials took their cannon away from them. The cannon, operated by the Texas Cowboys, UT service organization, was stationed in the end zone for each football game, and fired a large fire cracker to celebrate a UT score. It was called “Smokey.” It’s last blast signaled the field goal Texas made in the last few seconds of the A&M- UT Thanksgiving game. The charge went off near a wom an spectator, causing partial deafness and burning her dress. “When we get a toy we can’t handle without endanger ing the safety of persons, it’s best just not to Use it,” said Amo Nowotny, dean of stu dents and sponsor of the Cow boys.

Sutherlin Shows Way In Wild 89-80 Victory By JERRY WIZIG Battalion Sports Editor Bryan Sutherlin, the burr-headed smoothie from 1954 state-champion Cayuga, dipped in five field goals in three and a half minutes during the last half and sparked the Aggie Fish to an 89-80 win over tenacious Tyler junior college here last night. It was the fourth win in five games for the Freshmen. Hitting only four points in a low-scoring first half which ended Fish 30, Tyler 29, Suth erlin scored on three lay-ups, a jump shot and a tip-in to lead the Fish to a 59-52 edge. The layups came on a play which broke Sutherlin open as he drove down the free throw lane. The score was tied nine times in the hard-fought game, in which the Fish probably set an Aggie record Pennsylvania to Texas Budwine Leads C Armor’s 13-0 Grid Win Kay Budwine passed and ran A engineers to a 13-0 vic tory over C armor in upper classmen intramural football yesterday.

No High School Playing Doesn’t Bother Brophy By RONNIE GREATHOUSE Battalion Sports Writer Bill Bx-ophy’s name is not in his high school’s basketball I’ccox-ds, but he is ti’ying to make sure that it gets into A&M’s. At present, Brophy is the second highest scorer among Cadet cagei’s, only six points behind John Forten berry, the leader. Bi'ophy had scox-ed 160 points in 11 games to give him an average of 14.5 per game before the SMU contest. Brophy did not play a single game of basketball at his native Havertown, Pa., high school. Most of his earlier court experience came from playing on various club teams during the summer. ‘T’ Banquet Set For Saturday The “T” association will hold its fall semiformal banquet at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Maggie Park er dining room in Bryan. Music for dancing will be by the MSG combo fi - om 9-12. Members who plan to attend must make res ervations with club president Lar ry Winkler, in D-3 Walton. Aggie Boxers Students interested in joining the A&M Boxing club should con tact James Earle, club president. Eaxle said the boxei’s work out every night in the little gym, stall ing at 7. Tentative plans are for some of the members to compete in a fight night at Huntsville Sat urday, he said. The 22-year-old junior came to Allen academy in 1952 on the ad vice of a friend who was playing basketball there at the time. Bro phy tried out for the team, got a scholarship, and has been in the Bryan area ever since. “I had a lot of friends in Texas, and around Bryan,” said Bxophy, explaining why he came to A&M. “I hated to leave them- Also, I knew that A&M offered the best in education.” In his first year at Allen, play ing under coach Leslie Robinson, he helped spark the Ramblers to the first state championship in the school’s history. Last year he led Allen’s junior college zone in scoi'- ing, and was third in conference play. He averaged nearly 20 points in each of the 28 contests he played in last season. His highest point making effort for a single game last year was 30. Brophy made the transition from junior college basketball to South west conference play smoothly, but still needs to sharpen his defens ive work and rebounding. The outstanding perfcymiance the 6-3 Brophy has turned in this season was in the LSU game last month. He hit the basket for 13 field goals and two free thi'ows for 28 points. He scored 22 of his points in the second half. His defensive play was equally shai’p in the LSU game, as he snagged 15 rebounds. Brophy leads the team in field goals and rebounds so far this season. He has hit 57 out of 152 field goal attempts and has 89 rebounds. The 28 points scored in the LSU clash gives him, 'the indi vidual high score for one game among Aggie playex-s. His best shot is a one-hand jump shot, and a great deal of his points were collected via this method. Bx-ophy is majoring in business administration, and plans to com plete his college cai'eer in June, 1956. Do You Think — “Clothes Make The Man” Nope, it’M Cash in The Eoeket.
