The Mal. v 'oon and White lost two more by a total margin of six points befotre salvaging a 40-39 win over Conrvre. Two holiday tournaments and a iron-district encounter netted the Ytigers their other three suc cesses. Mt. Belvieu, Seguin, and Snook ihave fallen to the Tigers. 19-AA foes have dealt the Tigers their laitest misery as Caldwell bounced them 37-23 in a cold de fensive battle, and Hearne polished off a 44-3*5 win last Friday. Ex ams meant* a layoff Tuesday and the Bengals' take an open date from 19-AA wars; tonight. The bright spot in the otherwise dark showing - is 5-8 senior P. D. Gandy. The hotshot guard has hooped 232 points in 20 games for a 11.6 mean. Jim Rijggs with 118— 5.9 and Condy Pugh 95—5.3 are his nearest rivals. 6% Junior Harris Marshall tallied 816 points before grades gave him an early season finish. Churchill will try to find the right shooting combination again tonight among Gandy, 5-9 John Pedigo, 5-10 Riggs, 6-1 Pugh, 5-11 John Stark, 5-9 Danny Garner, and 6-1 Larry Randolph. Randolph and Stark are the lone juniors among the group. In the opening tilt, Coach George Johnston’s Junior Varsity will be out after their third straight win. Paced by 5-5 speedsters Rick Owen and Charlie Gandy, the Bengals knocked Caldwell out of the un- beatend column 40-38 and trounced Hearne 40-26 for a perfect show ing in 19-AA.' The all soph squad of Gandy, Owen, Kurt Schember, Paul Mamaliga, and Mike Calliham have yet to find a shorter club, but hustle has begun to pay off for Johnston’s “mighty mites.” The Tig-ers return to 19-AA play Tuesday in Cameron before hosting Rockdale’s Tigers next Friday.

A&M Cagers 4 Cougars ‘Pass’ Flunk \ sc By 4 What could have been termed as a mid-ferm exam was flunked by the Aggie Cagers last night in Houston as they fell for the third straight game with the Houston Cougars winning, 89-85. However, Houston didn’t exactly rack up any extra “grade points” in the contest that was nip and tuck all the way. Free tosses meant the big differ ence for the Cougars as they had 14-17 in the first half and dropped in six more in the second period. The Aggies only made 7-17 in the first stanza, adding two more in the second half. Houston's big Ted Luckenbill barely took scoring honors with 29 points while A&M’s Don Stanley had 27 and Carroll Broussard net ted 26. Gary Phillips of Houston was fourth high with 22 points. Although A&M got an early game jump in scoring, it didn’t last long as they had to try to catch a Houston lead that ranged anywhere from one to five points in the first half. Finally with about two minutes left in the first half, dropped one through the bucket to put A&M ahead, 43-42, but that was the last time the Cadets scored before the half ended at 43-46. The score was tied four times in the first half. In the second half, Houston edged ahead more than once by a six margin only to have it cut by a tie nine times. The Aggies led just once in the second half as Broussard scored with about eight minutes left to make the score 72-70. With 2:45 left in the game the score was 83-83, but Houston’s Luckenbill scored and before the game ended Houston added two more free throws to insure a vic tory. The victory left Houston with a 10-5 season record that included victories over Bradley and & The Louis.
