Ags Meet TU
Tonight; SWC
Title Clincher
By RALPH GORMAN
Batt Sports Editor
It will be do or die for Coach John Floyd’s patient
Aggie cagers when they go- against Coach Jack Gray's jinx
riding Longhorns in Gregory Gym tonight at 8.
In the Cadet camp, hopes of stretching a cinch tie to
a sure claim for the conference crown are being entertained,
but it has been a long time—28 fruitless, yet perservering,
y ear y .
borne may consider the championship drought a jinx of
a sort, but whether it is or not, there is to be considered the
17 year home court reign that the Orange and White five en
joy over the crusading Aggies.
Erom this desk we’ve predicted^ *
a win for the visiting te^m and
that victory will earn for the Ca
dets a comfortable seat on the
Southwest Conference victor’s
throne.
But fans from this area will re
member the fire-wagon tactics that
the Longhorns displayed in the
closing minutes of the first meet
ing of these two teams in DeWare
Field House in which the Graymen
whittled a 11-point Cadet margin
to a minute three points in the
last four minutes.
Tonight’s A&M - Texas cage
classic in Austin’s Gregory Gym
will be aired over KORA, with
game time starting at 8.
Word has been received from
Wilbur Evan, TU sports public
ity director, that advance sale
of tickets to the title-deciding
basketball contest is going fast
and anyone wishing to see the
game should make it a point to
be at the game by not later than
7 p.m. to assure a seat.
As unlikely as it may seem, the
Austinites might possibly show
this same brand of ball once more
in an attempt to crowd A&M into
a throne for three—A&M, Texas,
and TCU.
TCU Still Alive
Last night in Fayetteville, Coach
Buster Brannon’s Christians am
bushed the rampaging Arkansas
Razorbacks 52 to 42 to keep alive
their hopes of sharing the confer
ence title with one or two teams.
The Aggie Fish quintet will
start the evening off with the TU
Shorthorns at 6, and will be out
to avenge the 49 to 30 shellacking
handed them by the Texas fresh
men earlier this month.
Floyd, who brought his version
of Hank Iba’s ball-control style of
play to A&M this season and has
meticulously built his methodical
play into a defensive record even
better than that of “Iron Duke’s,”
will call on his regular five to make
the initial jump.
All-SWC McDowell
Two-time All-conference guard
Jewell McDowell at 5’ 10” will
start at one of the guard posts
and Woody Walker (shortest man
on the squad at 5’ 8”) will handle
the other side.
Playing their last game in a
regular season will be Marvin Mar
tin, 6’ 3”, and John DeWitt, 6’ 5”,
who have been standouts through
out the season at the forward po
sitions. Both of these lads will
graduate in June.

north gate
And at the pivot, post to make
the jump with TU’s Don Klein will
be another unanimous choice for
All-SWC honors — Walt “Buddy”
Davis.
Davis, who towers two inches
above Klein at 6’ 8”, has been the
big gun in Cadet scoring' through
out the season. Even with his fre
quent fouling, which has forced
him from some eight games with
precious minutes yet to play, the
massive Davis has amassed a total
of 279 points in 22 games and has
been credited with almost single-
handed wins frequently.
Ball-control at its best, with a
few fast break plays thrown in
ever so often, will be the tactics
that Floyd will employ h^iis quest
for-a conference champronship in
his first year of duty in the na
tion’s most hectic conference
scramble.
Miksch to Play
Seeing service intermittently will
be Leroy Miksch, at 6’ 4”, who subs
for both Davis and DeWitt in the
Aggie battles. Along with Miksch
will be Bobby Farmer, an even
six footer; and Don Heft, who
stands two inches below the six
foot mark.
A squadman throughout the
past two seasons, Glenn Williams
is another who will complete his
eligibility in the regular season
with tonight’s game.
Gray will field George Scaling
and Jim Dowies at the guard and
forward positions respectively.
Both of these men have been stal
warts in the Longhorn scoring to
date.
Completing the lineup for the
“Forty-acres” team will be Frank
Womackt at the other guard slot;
Joe Ed Falk, who will team with
Dowies on "bhe *forward wail," and
Klein at the center post.

222 and J. S. Miller was second
with 213.
Henry a senior Animal H u _s -

pong balls and a certificate award
ing him four free games on the
MSC alleys.
Last week’s winner, sophomore

The intramural grunt and groan boys sweat it
out during the second week of wrestling in the
Little Gym. Onlookers assume the attitude of
sidewalk engineers during the one fall elimina-
tipn. The rounds are five minutes long. If
one of the men is not pinned at the end of the
regulation time, the judge, Barney Welch, de
clares the winner on points.

Aggies Potent
In the opening meet a year ago,
Utah State College came away
with top honors and should be
definitely strong for the crown
again, but will have to top such
teams as A&M, New Mexico Mili
tary Institute, University of Ariz

Ag Fencers Show Well in First Meets
A&M’s fencing team continues
to dominate the pi'ep and novice
classes, as well as individual com
petition in recent matches held in
Galveston and College Station.
In their last two meets, the Ca
det fencers have taken seven out
of 12 places to bring the Aggie
total of victories to 15 out of a
possible 24 in four matches.
At Galveston the Aggie team en
tered the novice foil and the prep
sabre events with Bob Jones tak
ing ten matches without a loss for
top honors in the foil competition.
Rice’s Horace Flatt placed sec
ond and A&M’s Joe Mayes copped
the No. 3 spot in edging out team
mate Tom Munnerlyn on touches.
In the crucial bout between Flatt
and Jones, the score was tied for
five minutes before Jones was able
to make the deciding touch.
Rice’s sabremen walked away
with that event with Cadet Tom
Fields placing- third.
Ags Win Again
On the Aggie home grounds Sat
urday, John Gottlob, letterman fen
cer, breezed through five straight
bouts in the final pool to win the

Endurance Is Factor As
Wrestlers Gain Semi-Finals
By PAT LeBLANC
Batt Sports Staff
Displaying experience and en
durance, the wrestlers who per-
fbrihed in Monday’s round of the
intramural Wrestling Tourney,
showed these qualities by engaging
in long, close battles.
Two of the 15 matches, were
terminated by the judges making a
decision of who was the best grap-
pler.
The 167 bout between Johnson,
D AF, and Sheppard-, L AF, was
of this nature as well as the
struggle between D Vet Riveria
and Cameron of C AF, in the 123
lb. class.
Sheppard of L AF, won the
judge’s decision over Johnson after
the two warriors had battled to a
stalemate. Because both were tired
and there was not enough time to
carry this struggle into overtime,
the referees were justified in giv
ing their decisions.
Crowd Pleaser
The crowd was well pleased when
it saw another one of these close
tilts. This time it was among two
short 1 but scrappy little wrestlers,
Riveria and Cameron.
Riveria got the nod from the
referees in this battle, but not be
fore they fought long and hard
during the five minute regular per
iod, and then extended the match
into two overtime periods, all of
which ended in a tie.
Riveria, by winning this mara
thon, advanced into the finals,
which will schedule him to go
against Royce Brimberry of I AF.
Keelan Wins
Classy Dare Keelan of H AF,
pinned his adversary, Lindley of
C AF, three seconds before the
final whistle in the 137 lb. class.
This late pinning of Lindley did
not have too much significance
toward determining the winner be
cause defending champ Keelan was
well ahead in points.
Harold Turner of I AF advanced
