Complete control of the back boards and accuracy (from the char ity line were the major reasons !for the wide Texas margin.

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.
