Texas University’s fakt-breaking cagers
twentieth victory of the season last night b
irubbiT
hapless Texas Aggies a 54*34 drubbing
House to end conference plAy for the: yi
A crowd of 3200 disappointed >
fans watched Slater Martin .and
company jump into a 5-4 lead at
the end of four minutes of play and
remain in front the rest of the way.
Complete control of the back
boards and accuracy (from the char
ity line were the major reasons !for
the wide Texas margin.
The Longhorns made 16 field
! goals to 13 for the Farmers, but
the Steers hit 22 times from the
free throw mark while the Cadets
cashed in qn only 8 of their
jjfratw laaaea. IF ' -F j;]
Texas drew first blood in the con
test on a one-hander by All-Con
ference guard Slater Martin. Joe
Fettit, playing his final game for
the maroon and white, knotted the
count at the two minute mark and
Billy Turnbow’s two-pointer push
ed the Cadets ahead for the only
time in the tilt.
Another Alt-Conference eager,
iAl Madsen.i hit a crip shot to give
the visitors the lead, and after
that it Was not a matter of who,
but by how much.
; | The Steers held an 11-6 margin
at the end of aevAn minutes and
four minutes later the count was
i.7-6. Coach Jack Gray’s charges
widened their lead to 21-8 before
a brief Aggie rally stopped the
rout.
Gene Schrickel gave the Cadets
a shot in the arm with thred con
secutive gift shots and a field goal
in two minutes.' The Aggie surge
narrowed the Longhorn margin to
25-18 at the intermission.
Dori't be surprised if Bob Wood
ruffs young head coach of .Baylor
University, turns upias Bead coach |
of Louisiana State. And the an
nouncement is likely this week..
Bemie Moore quit to become
Southeastern Conference commis
sioner, throwing the place wide-
opeh. ' r ./ | I f.
There is talk qf hiring an alum
nus blit Woodruff is the leading
candidate among the non-alumni,
so the reports go.
