Aggies Open Basketball Season Squads Take Long Workouts;
Tonight InDe Ware Field House Date Set for Ful1 DrUl
By BOB BORISKIE
Battalion Sports Staff
It will be the Aggies against
the University of Houston Cou-
V gars tonight at 8 in DeWare
Field House in the basketball sea
son opener.
Coach John Floyd will be seek
ing a starting quintet from a
squad that includes four letter-
men, plus some outstanding play
ers from last year’s varsity and
freshman squad.
Major Problems
Lack of experience and height
poses a major problem for a team
that specialized in control basket
ball the past two seasons. Aggie
fans, therefore, will probably be
treated to a fast, break-away type
of game during the season.
Tumbling Team
Performs at Snook
The Aggie Tumbling Team stole
the show last night with a one
hour show at the Snook High
School and Allen Academy basket
ball game.
Making the trip to Snook were
^15 Aggies who kept the audi
ence wide awake with their perfor
mances on the flying rings, hori
zontal bars, and trampoline.
Special featui’es'during the per-
*formance and at halftime were
Conrad Webb and Bud Mathews.
The two men weht through their
routines as the stumbling fumbl
ing clowns and kept everyone won
dering how they kept from break
ing their necks.

WILLIE " d JOE
Leroy Miksch, James Addison,
Don Heft, and Don Binford are
the lettermen who will find Roy
Martin, Don Moon, Rodney Pirtle,
Bob Johnson, and several others
strongly contesting for starting
assignments.
Miksch, a rebound and defensive
ace last year, is expected to fur
nish the defensive spark for the
team, while Binford and Addison
give needed help.
The Aggie-Cougar game will be
preceded by a tilt between the
Aggie Fish and the Allen Acade
my Ramblers of Bryan.

The Army and Air Force teams
went through another lengthy drill
yesterday as the second day of
practice was completed.
Working out in shorts, the line
men ,were sent through their block
ing assignments on the different
plays. There was no contact work
but the coaches said as far as they
could tell, the boys were coming
along fine in preparation for the
12th Man Bowl.
Jack Little, head coach for the
Army, said, “Although we got
a later start than expected, we
are satisfied with the progress
shown so far, and I think we will
be x - eady to go on the 18th.”
Both backfields went through
their pass patterns dux-ing most of
drill today. This gave the back-
field coaches Ray Graves, who is
also head coach for the Air Foixe,
and Connie Magouirk offensive
backfield coach for the Aimy, a
chance to get their offensive boys
in action.
Running pass patterns gave the
coaches a chance to see how the
defensive backfield looks before
they go into pads.
Louis DeHaes, a pi’ospective
guard for the Army, said, “I
think the linemen are looking bet
ter for such a short time than any
team I have played on befoi'e. De-

Southwest Conference basket
ball gets a delayed start tomor
row xxight when the first four
games of the 1952-53 season are
I scheduled.
Tiying to make up for lost
time, the conference will see 13
games during the first week of
action. The late start is due to a
rule layed down i - ecently which
says no team could play a game
before Dec. 10.
Three important intersectional
games are scheduled for opening
week and the conference will find
out quickly whether its foi'ced in
activity will hurt it in the nation
al picture.

Two 20- and two 40-yard line
penetrations lifted A Ord. to a
close, hard-fought win over Sq.
9. A Ord.’s air-tight defensive
held the Air outfit to one 40-yard
line peneti’ation.
AAA edged past A Sig. on the
strength of a conversion to tack
down a 7-6 decision. A stubborn,
rock-ribbed Sq. 2 defense held B
Inf. outside their 20-yard line, but
B Inf. scored a safety to go with
five 40-yard line penetrations in a
2-0 victory. In the other game, Sq.
16 squeezed out a 14-6 win over
Sq. 15.

92,702 Spectators
A&M drew 92,702 spectators to
five home football games in 1952
the athletic departntent x’evealed
yesterday. This included the Okla
homa A&M game which was play
ed in Dallas.
The Kentucky game drew 20,-
277 for the biggest ci’owd. The
Arkansas game drew only 15,673
for the smallest total. These fig
ures include reseiwe seat, student,
and knot-hole tickets.
Haes continues, “of course I am
prejudiced, but I think the ground
forces have a more experienced
line and should have a ground
game that will be hard to stop.”
Dale Kemp, a defensive back for
the Army, said, “the pass defense
has looked very good so far, but
it is still early and you can never
tell how a team will do until they
go in pads.” You know the Air*
Force will have a rough passing
attack with someone like Graves
directing them.”
The teams will not go into full
