Aggies to Meet

1 rimty
Night
The Aggie cagers Saturday
night will meet Trinity University
at DeWare Field House in the first
home game of the season.
Smarting from the 88-68 wallop
ing handed them- by the Lamar
Tech Cardinals Tuesday night in
Beaumont, the Aggies began work
ing Wednesday to polish up their
fast break and to develop better
control of the backboards.
In the Lamar Tech game, mar
red by 52 personal fouls assessed
against the two teams, the Aggies
were unable to break through the
tight Cardinal defense or to get
open for set shots.
Only in the first quarter was
A&M able to make a game of it,
and after a 21-21 deadlock in the
opening moments of the second
period, the Cardinals began to
steadily pull away.
The Saturday night home opener
was originally scheduled with
Oklahoma A&M in the new physi
cal education building, but when
completion of the building was de
layed, Trinity was selected to re
place Oklahoma Aggies.
Probable starters will be Roy
Martin, center; James Addison and
Rodney Pirtle, forwards; and Joe
Hardgrove and Don Moon, guards.
