.oAL
iketball team is strict-
as fiir as statis-
•rned, baying made
. same dumber of field goals,
'o throws, and total points as
jit' opponents while winning two
It'bf four. games. ;
Thei only, department in which
le! Aggies are leading is in the
iwier fouls committed, with 78. to
theif optmnent’s 82. Not counted
are technical fouls received in the
SE Oklahoma game,
Aside from the statistics -the
Farmers are away ahead In spite
of being a short teatn they have
held their own in getting! rebounds
off the board. Ahead or behind,
tho Aggie quintet Has continued
to hustle and fight for the ball.
Bill Batey and Billy Turnbow are
both only six feet tall, but they
aVe the best A&M players under
the basket and have been taking
the; ball away froi» taller men.
Gerie SchrickePs' speciality js
shooting fiom the side pf the
court and he has made about half
of his tries from this difficult, an

Two Aggies who have been play
ing basketball together on and off
,for the last eight years are Mjke
Carcia and Bob Hpvtel. They were
both guards for Jefferson High
in San Antonio back in ’39 apd ’40.
Mike has been doihg alright in v
spite of a recent.ill jury but Hovel
has not )b een playlhg at top form
jis yet. Garcia was voted the most
Valuable player law.!year and has
i-howp signs oft hitting his old
form again this sehibn.
One unusual thing about Mike
j is thaf when he gets hot and
starts hitting, tlie rest of the
tgam begins tp click too,

Vaam Houston dumped the Ride

In thjs lightj this gamp may

Stout and Lindy Berry, two of the
best in the country) j.
Rice is probably the hardest hit
of any with eleven letter men, more
than half of them regulars, leav

Raylor loses eight but plenty re
turning. The Beark right now look
like first-division finishers.
Texas A. & M. sees a dozen let-
tprmen depart withij few good pros
pect); coming up from the fresh
men. Things don’t, |look any better
( fiir A&M next season than they
did last campaign. ;
Arkansas loses tyn but only four
of them were starters. Clyde Scott
returns and that’s'la fine start on
: rebuilding the biackfield which
| loses only Aubrey Fowler among
fhe regulars., •
Texas will lose to n lettermen, in
cluding Bobby . Layne, Max .Bum-

and Joe Magiiola,; With the big,
capable squad Tejxas had, that
(loe in’t selm like qn excessive loss
