Aggie s Fight M ustangs After Loss To Owls Rebounding from a 52-34 drub bing at the hands of the Rice Owls and a drop to sixth place in the conference standings, the Aggies will entertain the SMU Mustangs in DeWare fieldhouse tonight. Tonight’s clash will see the bot tom of the SWC tangling. SMU, winner of the holiday tournament but at the bottom of the heap now that loop play has begun with an 0-3 record, will still be a game back of A&M even if the Mustangs knock over the Cadets tonight. With scoring aces LeRoy Miksch and Don Binford limited to four free throws between them in the Rice game, the Aggies are 2-3 in conference play and 5-8 for the season. They rank sixth both in SWC'standings and in overall games. Texas leads the conference de spite the loss to A&M. The Long horns have a 3-1 record averaging 55.8 points per game to 52.3 for their opponents. Baylor holds down the runner-up position along with Rice with three wins and two losses apiece. Arkansas and TCU own 2-2 marks to occupy the 4th and 5th Baseball Players Meet Wednesday All freshman baseball candi dates and those varsity candidates who have not registered are asked to meet at 5 o’clock Wednesday on the south side of DeWare Field House, Baseball Coach Beau Bell announced yesterday. Spring drills will begin Feb. 15. places. A&M has a 2-3 score and SMU brings up last place with 0-3. John Starkey of Baylor and Gene Schwinger of Rice continue to dominate the individual scoring in league play. Starkey has a 21.0 game average, and Schwinger has 20.4. Leroy Miksch, the leading Aggie scorer, stretched his lead in the in dividual scoring pace over Don Binford to nine points, although he was limited to four free throws against Rice. The 6-5 Waelder senior has 144 points in 11 games to Binford’s 135 in 13 games. Binford, his hand in tape by reason of a practice in jury, didn’t tally against the Owls. Sophomores are beginning to play a bigger part in coach John Floyd’s program as they get more seasoning., Don Moon, Rodney Pirtle, Bob Johnson, and center Roy Martin were in the starting lineup against Rice. Moon came back into the lineup after missing a stretch of seven games with a fractured cheek bone. Martin, 6-8% center from Wax- ahachie, did a fine job of guarding Gene Schwinger, the Rice scoring machine, holding him to eight points. But he fouled out doing so, and James Addison, who shares the center duties with Martin, let the big boy have 16. Pirtle and Johnson continue to improve with each game and the former, from Coleman, has taken over the leadership of the Cadets, directing floor play and being a stickler on defense. Pirtle held Don Lance, Rice’s second-best scorer, to four points. Johnson is the top field goal percentage shooter with 33 out of 84. He sank four of six against Rice. The Farmers, although out of the conference race, promise to be the spoilers of the loop, being hard to beat on their home court. Ar kansas, picked by some as the pre season favorites, was knocked off in two over-times in the first home conference game. Texas was on top of the league when they invaded DeWare fiqld- house and departed with their horns clipped by a 51-42 score. After the SMU game tonight, the Ags play Baylor here Feb. 7, journey to Texas Feb. 10, and en tertain Rice Feb. 14.

Becoming head coach at SMU after Matty Bell retired to de vote all his time to athletic direct or duties, Russell-directed teams posted a six wins and four losses record in 1950. Victories over Georgia Tech, Ohio State, Miss ouri, and Oklahoma gave SMU top national rating until losing to Texas. In 1951, Russell’s Mustangs had a season record of three victories, six losses and one tie. Highlight ing the season was a 27-20 victory over Notre Dame.
