New Free Shot Rule Is
Food for Controversy
By JERRY ESTES
Battalion Sports Staff
There has been much specula
tion, both of the critical and com
plimentary type, on the new bas
ketball ruling of giving a player
a second chance at a free throw
when he misses his first one.
When two free thi'ows are
awarded, as when the player is
in the act of shooting, he gets
only two whether he misses or not.
Why tjien should a second chance
be given when only one fuee throw
is deserved?
Many times one charity toss
can decide the outcome of a game,
much as the point after touch
down in football. These points de
pend on the ability of the player
to take advantage of these oppor
tunities. Why then should there be
a rale designed to add to the
chances or ability of a player.
It is hard to imagine an umpire
giving a batter another chance at
the plate when he had struck out.
Or in a crucial football game, a
Aggie Quintet
Ranks 18th
hi Defense
Southwest Conference basketball
teams failed to rate a place in the
top 20 quintets in the latest Asso
ciated Press basketball poll. All
sections of the country with the
exception of the Southwest Con
ference were represented in the
poll, led for the third straight
Week by Kansas State.
Only two of the top 20 teams
Were able to boast unbeaten season
records after games of last week.
Seton Hall, rated second in the
poll, has marked up 15 straight
victories and Fordham, ranked
ieventh, has 11 straight wins.
A&M ranked 18th in team de
fense in latest statistics released
by the National Collegiate Athletic
Bureau, which shows five SWC
teams in the first 30 in defense.
Baylor’s surprising Bears are 11th,
having allowed an average of 57
points per game through Jan. 6.
Bice is 14th, with 57.3 per game,
A&M, 18th, with 5,8.4 per game,
and TCU and Texas are tied for
22nd with 58.6.
Gene Schwinger, Rice Institute’s
great scoring threat and SWC
scoring leader, is the SWC’s only
player in the top 50 individual
scoring leaders of *the nation.
Schwinger is 23rd, with 164 points
and a 20.5 scoring average. He is
also 12th among the nation’s lead
ers in field goal percentage, sink
ing 49.3 per cent of his shots in
his first eight games.
INTRAMURAL HIGHLIGHTS
Keese Leads B Inf.
Over Maroon Band, 19-6
Tom Keese, Harold Hudspeth,
and Willy Minturn led B Inf. to
a 19-6 football victory over Ma
roon Band, and finalists in Class
B tennis and Class A hoi-seshoes
were decided in Wednesday’s in
tramural action.
Two sparkling touchdown dash
es of 60 and 70 yards by the swiv
el-hipped Keese counted B Inf.’s
first and third touchdowns. Huds
peth set up the second score with
a nice catch of a 40 yard pass and
Minturn plunged over. Wert Love
run over the first conversion try.
Ed Thomas notched Maroon Band’s
touchdown on a pass reception.
Sq. 15 and A Sig. meet for the
Class B tennis championship, as
Sq. 15 knocked A Cmh out of the
title race Wednesday by a score
of 2-1. A Sig. nosed out Sq. 2
2-1, Tuesday, to gain the title
round.
A 2-1 decision over Sq. 11 put
Sq. 14 into the Class A horseshoes
final against A QMC. A QMC
had beaten Sq. 7 to vault into the
finals.
James Sexton and Rowland
Hicks walloped Fred Schneider
and Max King, 6-1, in the first
set of Sq. 15’s tennis match. D.
K. Shipe and C. T. Davis clamped
the lid on the win with a 7-5
victory over Harold Fox and Max
Scott in the second set. Bob Zum-
walt and Don Wheeler gained A
Cml.’s only win, a 6-1 win over
Jim Barr and Bob Alcock.

A victory by John Harris and
Bob Williams in the last game
gave Sq. 14 their horseshoes win
over Sq. 11. Sq. 14’s Jim Averice
and Van Ballew had beaten Rich
ard Baker and Dick Alexander in
the first game, but Bill Utzman
and Chuck Fenner whipped Dwane
McCuistion and Sam Jones to even
the score.
James Wise dumped in seven
points as Sq. 6 rolled up a 14-6
win over A Ord. in yesterday’s
only basketball game. Buddy
Smith, A Ord., laid in two first
half field goals and was largely
responsible for a 5-5 tie at the
half. Wise’s thi’ee goals and a
free throw, all in the second half,
were enough to pull the winners
out in front to stay.
Sq. 19 outscorcd Co. G., 414-355,
in a bowling match played Tues
day.
missed extra point is not brought
back and the kicker given another
chance.
Basketball is a highly skilled
and fast played game. Therefore,
there seems to be no I’eason for
giving basketball players a second
chance when the practice is un
heard of in other major spoi’ts.
The game is slowed down
enough now in the mind of the
spectator and this adds to drag
ging it out. With the pressure of
the spectator and many coaches
against the xaile, look for it to be
junked xxext seasoxx axxd just chalk
ed up to experience by the x’ule
makers.
Lady Luck Again
It seexxis as if the Aggies can’t
beat the rygged schedule they
have and the rather heavy touch
of lady luck (bad) too. In the
eaidy part of the season Coach
Floyd’s boys won a couple and
dropped a couple looking for a
winning combination and getting
used to their plays.
Just whexx it seemed everything
was 1‘eady to go, Don Moon the
stelling little guai’d was injured
and will be out for about four
weeks.
After the Cadets win over Ai’-
kansas, who were pi’e-season fav
orites, it seemed the Aggies still
had a capable aggregation. Then
just before the game with TCU,
the team received another blow
when Lex-oy Miksch was downed
with the flu and 104 degrees of
temperature.
Miksch’s importance can easily
be seen by the lack of rebounds
captui'ed by the Farmers in the
TCU tilt.
If Floyd can get all of his boys
well and ready to play, the league
cellar won’t be occupied by the
Aggies.
Floyd As A Coach
One of the best testimonials to
Floyd’s ability to develope a play
er is Bob Johnson, a Sophomore
forward this year.
Johnson came to A&M with no
high school experience and has
made a fine player considering the
time he has played. Floyd de
scribes hhn as a very quick and
aggi’essive player with good possi
bilities. Johnson has seen quite a
bit of service this year, and should
see more as the season progi-esses.

For Texas Tilt
Leroy Miksch, the ball
hawking Aggie forward was
sent to bed with an attack of
the flu just before the game
with TCU last Tuesday night.
Miksch had 104 degx-ees of
temperature, but it was re
ported to have broken by the
next morning, so he may be
x'eady to go against TU Fri
day night.
‘Team Not Ready
For TCU’--Floyd
Coach John Floyd had vei’y lit
tle comment to make about the 67
to 36 whalloping his quintet suf
fered at the hands of TCU Tues
day night. Floyd stated that the
boys “Simply couldn’t get going.”
“The rebounding of Leroy
Miksch was badly needed,” he said.
Miksch was out of action because
of the flu.
Don Binfoi’d had this to say.
“The switching defense employed
by TCU completely stopped us,”
“We couldn’t seem to find a solu
tion to it.”
Summing it up in a few words,
Floyd said, “The boys did faii’ly
well physically, but mentally, they
weren’t ready for any ball team.”
