This is the first game between these two schools and as of last year the cadets start the game as the under dogs. But then it is '"recalled how in the last seconds of play Stevenson came through to eek out a one point win for the Aggies with the score 53 to 52. Texas must win this game from the cadets as well as a following contest from the Owls Saturday night to claim the second place slot in the league standing.

Texas Is After SWC 2nd Place Missing Free Throws Troubles Both Cage Teams It’s the Aggies and the Long horns again, but this time in a definitely different atmosphere from that fateful day at Memorial Stadium last Thanksgiving. The cadets and the Steers clash tonight in a feature basketball at- tration at the DeWare Field House that should see both teams in their peak condition. It will be the last home game for the Aggie quin tet, which has only accounted for three games this year, two of them over the cellar-dwelling T.C.U. Frogs; and one over the Baylor Bears. Many followers of the cage game will remember the thrilling spec tacle put on by the Aggies and the Longhorns last year. With only five seconds to go, rotund Charlie Stevenson, Aggie guard, came out of nowhere to sink that fateful field goal which cut the Steers’ horns off, 52 to 51. All tickets for the game have been sold out.
