Roy Martin, James Addison and Rodney Pirtle are the lettermen Coach John Floyd is counting on to guide the team through the early games, with considerable help expected from Joe Hardgrove, junior guard, and John Fortenber ry, ace forward up from last year’s freshmen team. Squadron. May Help With these five listed as prob able starters in the season opener, much help is expected from the following squadmen who might break into the starting lineup: Pat McCrory, 5-11 junior guard from Waelder; Don Moon, 5-814 junior guard from Minden; Howard Ho- meyer, Caldwell product; Frank Miller, 6-6 sophomore forward from Sour Lake; Earnest Kennedy, 5-9 sophomore forward from Fort Worth; Ken Murry, 6-3 senior for ward from Wills Point; Stan Bak er, 5-11 senior guard from Fort Worth; and footballer Joe Boring, 6-0 guard from Dallas with a soph omore classification in basketball competition. Pacing the starters will be Mar tin, the 6-814 junior center from Waxahachie, who is a great re bound artist with a good eye for the basket, both from outside set positions and inside hook shots. Pirtle, 6-214 junior forward from Coleman, is a fine dribbler who can sweep through or around the opposition,, for lay-up crip shots. He is expected to call the plays from the floor for the Aggies. Addison, 6-6 senior from Lipan, doubles at the center and forward positions and is a good ball han dler who adds needed rebound strength to the team. Hardgrove, 6-2, is a steady de fensive performer and is strong on outside set shots. He is a speedy hall handler who will play a large part in Coach Floyd’s plans for a “shoot and shoot again” style of basketball for this year. Fortenberry led the freshmen last season in scoring and is a good dribbler, a deadly outside shooter and a sharp defensive play er who frequently steals the ball while opponents are moving down the court. The Aggies, after the Lamar Tech opener, have December con tests scheduled with Trinity, Uni versity of Houston, Oklahoma City, LSU and Texas Tech before enter ing the conference pre-season tour nament in Houston during the Christmas holidays.
