The Texas A&M baske
team opened its 194 r
here tonight in fam
Square Garden by falling to
sharp-shooting Long Islai
versity Blackbirds 66-52
some 14,000 onlookers.
This crowd, probably one of the
largest ever to see the Aggie cag-
ers in action had switched their
support to the visitors from Tex
as by the final whistle when the
Cadets staged a late tally in the,
last five minutes of play and chop
ped away the winner’s 27-point
advantage.
Coach Marty Karows tall Tex
ans proved they weri also swift
of foot when they began pressing
the LIU quintet all over the (court
in those final minutes. Inuring
that period the Aggies tallied 12
points, five of those by (Guard
Jewell McDowell. While holding
their opponents scoreless.
The Blackbirds held a 60-33 lead
before the outburst and numerous
fouls during the final two niinuteS
of play under the new rules caused
the exciting battle to fi
out a flurry.
Sherman White, a 6’ 7%? Negro
forward, walked away with the in
dividual scoring honors. He ac
counted for 19 of those points in
the first half when he dropped in
eight of the 13 shots he attempt-
ted from the field. Walter “Bud
dy’’ Davis, thejCadets’ 6’ 8” soph
omore pivotnian, took over the
guarding duties of the jump-shot
artist for the last period and held
him to six points.
Herbert Scherer, the Blackbirds'
6’ 9” center, trailed White with 16
points. Davis and McDowell
shared point-making latjrels for
the losers with 14 apiece. Fol
lowed closely by John DeWitt with
13. ?
McDowell also drew considerable
attention from this Gotham city
audience for his defensive work
against Leroy Smith, speedy
