REVIEW OF BASKETBALL SINCE
ITS INAUGURATION AT A. AND
M. COLLEGE IN 1913.
(Contnued from Page 3)
with Simmons College of Abilene,
both non-conference teams.
The Aggies reached the goal this
season sought by every athletic team,
that of going through the entire sea
son without a defeat. The team scor
ed 559 points during the season while
their opponents could score but 248
points against the fautless guarding
of Hartung, Dwyer, Williams and
Pierce. This team finished a season
that will go down in history, not only
history of the College, but of the
Southwestern conference as well. It
is very seldom indeed that a basket
ball team goes through a season with
out a defeat and more especially a
team that plays four games each with
the four leading teams in the confer
ence. A more fitting climax could
hardly have been arranged for a bas
ket ball season than the one which
has just closed with a victory for the
Aggies over their ancient rivals, the
Longhorns. The Aggies and the
Longhorns met four times on the
court this season and four times have
the Longhorns been forced to take
the short end of the score. In these
four games the Aggies scored 76
points while all the Longhorns could
score was 45, or an average of 19

points per game for the Aggies and
11 points per game for the Longhorns.
A. & ^1. teams this school year won
three high honors. The Aggie foot
ball team, it will be remembered, won
the Southwestern conference title,
scoring 275 points to their opponents
nothing in nine contests on the grid
iron while the Stock Judging team,
though not an athletic team, won first
honors at the International Stock
Judging contest where eighteen teams
representing as many states were
competing, and now comes the A. and
M. basket ball team with a conference
title.
The Aggies started their victorous
season by defeating the Baylor Medics
in two pre-season games in Decem
ber. Then come the Baylor Bears for
two defeats. Simmons College was
defeated on the local court in one
fast game and S. M. U. was given
similar teatment in two contests. The
team journeyed to Houston for a brace
of games with the Owls which result
ed in two easy victories for the Ag
gies. The following week the Aggies
made a swing around the circuit
meeting Texas, S. M. U. and Baylor
all in a row and returned to College
with six wins to their credit. On this
trip the Aggies practically cinched
the State championship. Rice came
to College for two defeats and the
Aggies closed the season by winning
a couple of games from Texas on the
local court.
