The Cardinals began threading the meshes to roar to a 20-17 lead at the end of the first quarter. A&M briefly tied it up at 21-21 early in the second quarter, but the Cardinals took complete charge of the game at that point. High scorer for Lamar was George Gordon with 24 points, while the Aggies were led by Rod ney Pirtle with 19, followed by Roy Martin with 15 and Joe Hardgrove with 10 points. The Cardinals blunted the Aggie attack with such close guarding that A&M only had three or four open shots at the basket during the entire game. Three players fouled out of the game, Don Moon of A&M was join ed by two Cardinals on the side lines. Ray Walton and Gene Car penter were the Tech offenders. The game lead changed hands 4 times and the score was tied 4 times before Lamar took control in the second period. In the preliminary game, the Ag gie Freshmen used superior height to rout the Lamar Tech “B” team by a 61-35 margin.

Biyii : Ki. 2-1663 ,1 r - Wednesday, December 2, 1958 THE BATTALION Page § S P O RT Q H O R T ^ Battalion Sports Editor By BOB BORISKIE Football interest on the campus lingers around just long enough to include the annual 12th Man Bowl game between the army and the air force on Dec. 17. However, before we bid goodby to the varsity variety, there are a few changes we’d like to suggest to the athletic department for next season. We feel the student body rates a personal report of Ag gie road games in The Battalion, and not merely rehashed versions of game stories carried in Sunday newspapers. During the past season,‘‘we paid our own expenses to cover the Georgia game in Dallas, the TCU game in Fort Worth and the Rice game in Houston. Games beyond our financial reach were the Kentucky game in Lexington, the Arkansas game in Little Rock and the Texas Tech game in Lubbock. We made several efforts to get on those planes, but were told it wasn’t college policy to carry Bat talion sports writers on road trips. In the future, a Battalion re presentative should be carried along, even if it is necessary to bounce some non-official passenger off the plane. Speaking of bouncing off the plane, there certainly shouldn’t be a recurrence of the Lubbock in cident, when Herb Wolf, sophomore fullback made the return trip by train in order to make room on the plane for an additional passenger. Before going into the next point, it should be said that Coach Ray George is keenly conscious of the value of good press relations and was completely cooperative during interviews. But somewhere in the lower echelons, some character failed to get the word. After the TCU game, a Bat talion reporter- was brusquely ordered from the Aggie dressing room by an underling smelling of rubbing alcohol. Such delusions of grandeur should be curbed. Outdoor Sports The Battalion plans to begin an outdoor sports column which we hope will be an interesting source of information to Battalion read ers. Outdoor sportsmen are invited to submit items of general interest, and to ask questions concerning game laws, hunting seasons, fish ing information, game and fish diseases or anything else that can be answered. All game and fish questions sub mitted will be turned over to our panel, Dr. George K. Reid, pis catorial authority; Dr. William B. Davis, mammal and reptile ex pert; and Dr. Keith Dixon, ornith ologist sans peer. So if you have any questions about fish, animals, snakes or birds, the panel is almost certain to know the answer. Panel members are all members of the wildlife management de partment. Tigers Start Cage Season With.

SELF TREATMENT PERILOUS INDIANAPOLIS (^) — Self- treatment of skin Yashes and itches can often make troubles worse, firing up allergy-type reactions to the remedies used, two Indiana physicians report. By patch test, they found that one-fourth of a group of patients Rad skin troubles caused by one of a succession of remedies they’d used. The report is by Drs. L. E. Kaul and G* B. Underwood in the Indiana State Medical Association Journal. 12th Man Bowl Near Salyer, Magouirk Chosen Coaches John Salyer and Connie Ma gouirk were chosen Tuesday as head coaches for the 12th Man Bowl Game, Dec. 17.
