Marvin Martin Great
Boost To Aggie Five
By JOHN DEWITT
Special Staff Correspondent
Anyone who knows anything
about basketball will say Marvin
Martin is just about as smooth a
ball player as they’ve ever seen.
Up until this season, Marv had
been used sparingly, but now he
has really come into his own and
is holding down a regular forward
spot for the Aggies.
Marv is a product of Jeff Davis
High School of Houston where he
played football and basketball for
three years.
He was all-city as an end in his
senior year for the Houston
school. Marv is nnmarriedand maj
oring in animal husbandry, and
he says he’d like to be a livestock
farmer when he finishes his educa
tion.

NEWS — CARTOON
When the Aggies defeated TCU
a few weeks ago, Marvin played
the best game of his entire Aggie
career. He got innumerable re
bounds for the Aggies and scored
eight points while doing so.
( oach Floyd was very well
pleased with Marv’s performance
that night and the new Aggie
mentor didn’t hestitate to tell
him so when the contest was
over.
The easy going Houstonian is
not noted for his speed but he
mak«s up for that with his individ
ual ability. Marv has a remarkable
pair of hands which make him such
a smooth operator on the floor.
He owns a deadly eye for the
bucket and his one-hand shots
from around the circle are usually
good for two points. Not only is
he a good shot but he also ac
counts for a few more field goals
with his accurate passes from the
pivot position.
Changes Adapted
Before this season, Marv’s pet
shot was a hook shot from around
the break of the circle. Coach
Floyd somewhat outlawed the hook
for the Aggies, but Marv Was none
the worse off because his one-hand
set shots and one-hand jump shots
get the job done just as well.

A&M Tankers Ready For
NW Louisiana Swimmers
A&M’s swimming team will meet
Northwestern Louisiana State at
Natchitoches, La. Friday afternoon.
Coach Art Adamson of the Ag
gie mermen says, “We’ll win, but
it’s liable to be tough.”
Because freshmen are eligible
at Northwestern La., added dif
ficulties will be in store for the
Aggie tankmen.
Last year, NWLS had a better
than average team for such a small
school, and Coach John Piposco of
Northwestera expects equally as
good material this season.
Adamson was very pleased at the

BU Gagers Will
Seek Twin Win
By JIMMY ASHLOCK
Halt Sports Writer
The conference cellar dwelling Baylor Bears and Baylor
Cubs invade DeWare Field House tomorrow night to chal
lenge A&M’s varsity and Freshman quintets.
Sparked by Ralph Johnson, 6’ 3” 190 pound junior from
Humble, Texas, the Bears loom as a dangerous threat to
Aggie conference hopes. Those who saw the game between
the Bears and Aggies last Jan. 9> :
remember all too well the close
margin by which A&M emerged
victorious.
Playing the other forward posi
tion will be Norman Mullins, 21
year old junior from Carlisle, Tex
as, who closely follows Johnson in
scoring.
Performing yeoman service at
the guard position will be Gordon
Carrington and Derrell Davis.
Carrington, 6’ 150 pound senior
from Gilmer, Texas, is an ex
cellent ball handler. Davis pro
vides equally valuable duties with
his passing and dribbling.
Holding down the post position
will be 6’ 3” Bill Harris, who hails
from Harlingen, Texas.
Harris Important
Baylor coach Bill Henderson’s
offense rotates around the free
throw area wtih pivotman Harris
acting as the hub. The Bruins ex
hibit the fast break style of play
which provides an ever-racing
game. The forwards, Johnson and
Mullins, being the consistent scor
ers, reveal that the Bears like
their shots from close range rath
er than the long “hope” shots.
Baylor, whose hopes of the con
ference championship are nonex
istent, will be playing chiefly for
revenge to make up for the 55-
53 drop to A&M earlier in the sea
son. On the other hand, the Aggies
go into battle still smarting from
the 30-27 defeat by TCU Tuesday
night, a defeat which endangers
their hopes for championship titles.
In the curtain raiser preceding
the varsity tilt, the Aggie fish
will take on the Baylor Cubs, the
team which launched them on a los
ing spree from which they have
never recovered.
Leading the Cubs will be 17
year old Tommy Strausburger from
Temple, Texas who was the de
ciding factor in the Cubs victory
over the Aggie fish in their coun
ter last January by rolling up 20
points.
A&M’s junior cagemen, like the
varsity, licking the wounds of a
recent defeat, take on the Cubs in
an effort to bring an end to the
losing streak which has grown
longer since the defeat handed
them by Wharton Junior College
Monday night.
The fish have shown little of the
smooth ball control and team play
which earned them praise earlier in
the season. This is due mainly to
the fact that the freshmen have
been acting as scrimmage oppon
ents to the varsity, thus leaving
them little time for the constant
practice which is necessary to re
tain the style of ball exhibited in
the first days of the season.
Beat Baylor——
Substitute forward L e R o y
Miksch made only two points for
Texas A&M in the conference game
with the Baylor Bruins. That field
goal beat the Bruins in an over
time.
