By doing so, the Ags wall have beaten the best collegiate bowlers the state has to offer. John Tinney will join the Match Team “regu lars” who are Parks Mahaney, Jimmie Guy, Lee Wilson, Bob Ko- rose, and Larry Dantzler, and to gether will hope to increase the Aggie lead. Currently A&M leads with a 44-16 record followed by SMU’s 37-23. In league activity four teams of the HOT-SHOT league took off Monday night to watch the A&M- Baylor basketball game. While Broussard and Lenox were across the street breaking records, the team of Scotty Harris, Pro Butler, Jerry Crowley, and Louis Griffen bested Guy 4-0 breaking an all time team series record for Aggie bowlers.

Coach Metcalf Commends Fish On Their Fine Play By LARRY SMITH The Fish wound up their basket ball season in high fashion last Monday night with a win over the Baylor Cubs and Fish Coach Shel by Metcalf had several good things to say about his freshmen, as he always does. Metcalf said he was very proud of this year’s team and the record they posted, 9-3. The league was tougher this year due to the im provement in the freshmen squads of Rice and Baylor. Last year’s Fish Gagers posted a 10-2 record and were led by such varsity stars as Charlie Minor, Lewis Qualls, Billy Young and Jer ry Windham. The 1959-60 club had more height and were exceptionally tough on the boards. This year’s Fish squad had bet ter shooters, more speed and moved the ball better. “All in all the two squads were two different types of teams but both were tough,” Metcalf said. The Fish this winter never over-powered any one team, but they out-smart ed them with the playmaking and field generaling of Dave Johnson and Bennie Lenox. Bill Robinette, leading rebound er for the Fish with 125, had a great season said Metcalf. The Fish run a single post offense and the entire offense revolves around the post man, the position that Robinette played. “Bill gave tre mendous support to the team's leading scorer Bennie Lenox,” said Metcalf. Metcalf had this to say about guard Dave Johnson: “Johnson is a team man deluxe and a great clutch player. He really made the team go.” Forward Cecil Ferguson is a tough 6-3 rebounder and also a fine team man said Metcalf. Fer guson hit his peak against the Rice Owlets two weeks ago when he dropped in 14 points. Big Lynn Merritt, who is called Hopper by his teammates, is a man that can tear anyone up on a given night, hitting from the outside and the inside. Merritt was third in scoring behind Lenox and Robi nette. “A boy who really came a long way and gave fine outside shoot ing that we needed was Chuck Mc Guire,” said Metcalf. McGuire was slowed considerably in the latter stages of the Fish campaign when he injured h'is ankle in the second Tyler game. “Chuck has a good head and shows great leadership ability,” added Metcalf. Not too much can be said about Bennie Lenox that has not already been said. Lenox, of course, was a top player on the Fish team and “also the best and highest fresh man scorer in the history of the school,” said Coach Metcalf. Lenox ended the 12 game season with 330 points for an average of 27.5 points per game. Get these twelve great originaj recordings-in one 12 LP album-for $ 11 and ten empty Lucky Strike packs!
