Troup will probably face the win-

Ags Meet Rice Gagers
In Final Game of Season
By JIM ASHLOCK
Battalion Sports Writer
A&M cagers ring down the cur
tain on another season of basket
ball tomorrow night when they
meet Rice’s Owls at 8 p.m. in Hous
ton.
The Farmers will be out to add
the Owls to their conference win-
loss record of 4-7 and lopsided sea
sonal chalk-up of 8-15. Rice has
already fallen before the Aggies
once this season/dropping a one
sided 55-44 tilt at College Station
cm Jan. 11.
Inspired after their 46-42 vic
tory over a highly rated Oklahoma
City University five in DeWare
Field House Tuesday night, the
Aggie basketeers enjoyed a recess
from workout Wednesday, but went
through a rapid one and a half
hour drill Thursday afternoon.
Have Court Threat
Rice, always a dangerous threat
on their home court, will be put
ting everything they have into this
final game in an effort to quell
their growing hunger for a win.
Aggie cage coach John Floyd will
leave with his eleven man squad
from DeWare at 1 p.m. Saturday
for the trip to Houston.
Receiving Floyd’s nod to take to
the floor for the opening tip off
will be Walter Davis at center,
Don Binford and Raymond Walker
at guai’ds, and forwards Leroy
Miksch and Bob Farmer.
When asked for a comment on
the present attitude and condition
o fthe team, Floyd said:
“We should do pretty good. The
boys are rested and appear to be
in good spirit since our game with
OCtJ Tuesday night. That game
was the best we have played all
season. Everyone was working
hard on both defense and offense
and playing like they really want
ed to win the game. I was pleased

their first cinder meet of the year
Saturday afternoon.
Kyle Field will be the scene of
event that is giving the Cadets a
one-week jump on the other con
ference schools in the track compe
tition.
The Aggies’ greatest strength
'lies in the field events, t)ut they
are still above average in the dis
tances and sprints.

shot put and discus events. Hooper
was undefeated in conference com
petition last year and won the shot
event in the NCAA meet.
High Jumpers
Another All-American who bol
sters Farmer hopes is high jumper
Walter Davis.
Davis, also a SWC basketball
star, earned his track honors with
a leap of 6 ft. 6 in. in the NCAA
meet last year. His best jump of
the season was at the Texas Re
lays when he cleared the bar at 6
ft. 9 in.
Other events in which the Ag
gies are expected to claim first
place are the pole vault, broad
jump, 440-yard dash, and two mile
run.
Don Graves and Glenn Spradling,
both of whom tied for second place
jn the event last season, have been
steadily improving on the pole
vault.
Another returning performer,
Malcolm Marks, has bettered 13
feet in practice this year.
Instance Runners
Strong Aggie distance runners
are James Blaine, SWC first place
winner, Dale DeRouen, Charles
Gariel, Verlon Westmoreland and
Charles Hudgins..
The Aggies have only one other

with the way Farmer played and his effectiveness as a scoring
plan to start him against Rice.
The quintet taking to the floor
for Rice will probably consist of
center Gene Schwinger, guards
Maurice Teague and Leonard
Childs, and forwards Ralph Gra-
wunder and Don Lance.
Top Rice Scorer
Schwinger, a highly developed
sophomore, and former star for
Reagan High of Houston, is one of
the leaders in SWC scoring, with
280 points. The 6 ft. 6 in. pivot-
man is weak on rebounding but a
dangerous scoring threat when
close to the bucket.
Another outstanding sophomore
is Don Lance. Lance was a stand
out on last years frosh squad, and
edged into a starting forward pos
ition ahead of junior Bert Dickens,
6 ft. 4 in. forward who held this
position for many early season
games.
Holding down the other forward
position is Ralph Grawunder, the
olny two-year letterman on the
squad.
Maurice Teague looked extreme
ly well in early season battles, but
his inability to drive in any direc
tion except to his left has result
ed in his gradual depreciation of
threat.
Rounding out the team at the
other guard slot is Leonard Childs,
5-1 senior from Houston.
Accompaning the varsity to
Houston will be A&M’s freshman
roundball squad. Their tangle with
the Rice Frosh is scheduled to be
gin at 6:30 p.m.
