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.
