Al the half the Aggies were trailingjby nine points lj9 to 28, and except for a brief instant following the intermission ^hen they pulled vyithin seven points of the East Texas club, the>l never were in the ball game afterwards although they hustled bat'd all the way. A&M couldn’t seem to click and the Lions ran the score up to 51 to. 29 at the midway poibb of the second half. With the East Texas reserves; in the Ags reduced this margin down to 52 to 43 at the end, but couldn’t get enough bas kets through, to pull even.
