M. now holds onto a six win to three losses conference record. The Ca dets are resting in number four spot with a four wins to six losses record. The Longhorns have little chance left to share any part of the con ference crown with TCU, but still have an opportunity to enrich the school’s basketball history. Three more wins this year would place the TU five 1 with the best lull-season record a Texas team has compiled since 1949. Win over A&M Saturday night plus a pair of victories over Ar kansas and Rice next week would give the Longhorns an ovei'all won- and lost record of 17-7.

Last year’s co-champ ionship squad had a 13 won 14 loss record. Also a clean sweep of their re maining three games would give the Longnoms assurance of the runner-up spot in the conference. Four members of the TU squad will, be playing their final games against A&M in DeWare gym Sat urday. Don Klein, captain of the cagers; James Dowies, the Uni versity’s leading scorer for two seasons; Jimmy Viramontes, and Ted Price compose the list of sen- Texas has three players that hr .e gone over the charmed 200 point-mark.
