Tonight at 8 in DeWare Field House, fans will get another look at the new type of Aggie bas ketball when the Farmers take on the Northwest Louisiana quin tet. Northwest Louisiana always produces a high caliber brand of basketball, and the game should provide a gauge by which the Ag gie fast-break game can be meas ured. Leroy (Hawk) Miksch, who cer tainly earned the moniker with the way he hawked the ball at both ends of the court in the Uni versity of Houston game, can be expected to furnish his usual scrappy game. Johnson Stars Bob Johnson, soph star who rang up 13 points against Houston, put in a strong bidjfor a starting berth, and is due to see plenty of action.

Although he failed to scratch the scoring column, Don Moon gave such an exhibition of close guarding that his number 12 will probably be among the five who trot out to start the game. Roy Martin, rangy Aggie soph center, had miserable luck on his crip shots and short push shots.
