Page 4 THE BATTALION Thursday, February 11,1954 Ags Prepare for SMU Hold Long Practice A&M’s basketball team yesterday started work for Saturday night’s home game with the SMU Mustangs. Still winless in Southwest conference play but feeling better after Tuesday night’s stubborn losing battle with Rice, the Cadets went through a long practice session. More of the same was on the schedule for today. The varsity has a 1-15 season record. Coach John Floyd said that For-'*" ward John Fortenberry, who miss ed the Rice game, would be ready for the Mustangs. Fortenberry suf fered a chest injury in Saturday night’s 48 - ( J2 loss to SMU in Dal las and was held out of Tuesday’s game. Floyd said that he Was pleased with his team’s showing against the Owls and pointed out the fine play of James Addison, Joe Hard- grove and Earnest Kennedy. A.ddi- son put on a show of how to slip in for lay ups and scored 19 points. Hardgrove sank 13 points, most on jump shots from outside. Kennedy, shortest player on the squad at 5-9, showed well as a sub stitute. After this week, the Cadets will play only two more home games with Arkansas, Feb. 22, and a non- confcrencc contest with the Uni versity of Houston, Feb. 24. The Fish do not play again until next Tuesday, when they meet the Texas Shorthorns in Austin. Floyd called the Aggie freshmen “a ter rific bunch of players” after their 71-59 win over the Rice Owlets. The Fish now have a 6-3 record, all of their losses coming away from home. SMU, all but out of the confer ence race with three league defeats blasted Arkansas, 92-68, Monday, their second straight 92-point per formance. The Mustangs have three play ers, Derrell Murphy, Ronnie Morris and Ai-t Barnes, who have scored over 200 points this season. Murphy has 247, Morris 226 and Barnes 214. Coach Doc Hayes probably will start Tom Millet, Richard Bryant, Murphy, Morris and Barnes. Meanwhile, at Houston, Rice will be playing Texas in a show-down battle. A win would give the Steers a 6-1 confei’ence record and would hang their third league defeat on the Owls.
