Page 4 THE BATTALION Tuesday, February 16, 1954 Fired-Up Aggies Play Texas Tonight; Addison Sets Record in 73-71 Thriller By JERRY WIZIG Battalion Spoi’ts Editor Fired-up like a nickel cigar aft er Saturday night’s breath-taking 73-71 upset of SMU, A&M’s varsity cagers collide tonight with the tall Texas Longhorns in Austin. The Fish play the Shorthorns in the curtain-raiser. James Addison set what prob ably is an all-time Aggie scoring record Saturday night when he flooded in 86 points. Records for the last 10 seasons, as far back as they are available, show that Addison shattered the individual scoring record for A&M cagei’S. Coach John Floyd last night rea soned that the mark probably is an all-time A&M record because Riflers Bow To Citadel In First Loss The Aggie rifle team went down to its first defeat of the season, bowing to The Citadel at Charleston, S.C., last week. Guy Andrews fired a 277, but the Cadets were outpointed, 1,385 to 1,353. North Georgia col lege was third with 1,347. A&M previously had won the Southwest Rife association title, de feating Rice, Baylor, Texas, TCU and SMU. David Allen posted a 272, sec ond high for the Cadets. Others competing for A&M were Howard Mims, Sid Ferrell, Fred Galley and Dan Grissom. The team made the trip by plane with the A&M fencing team, which went on to Coral Gables, Fla., for a irjeet with the University of Mia mi. M/Sgt. J. P. Collins, Aggie coach, raid that he was very pleased with Ihe hospitality shown the team dur ing their stay at Charleston. The Seam remained there three days. The next match for the Aggies Will be the Southwestern .Invita tional tournament at El Paso, March 4-G. scoring in games 10 years ago was much lower than now. Addison leads the Aggies with 200 points, 114 of them in confer ence games. Addison, Martin Switch Floyd said after a short, snappy workout last night that he will switch Addison and Roy Martin in the starting lineup. Addison will take Martin’s center slot and Mar tin will replace Addison at a for ward. John Fortenberry will start at the other forward, and Joe Hard- grove and Pat McCrory will open at guards. Gib Ford, one of the starting UT guards, went to the hospital yester day and probably will not play to night. Longhorn Coach Thurman (Slue) Hull probably will start 6-7 Bob Waggener at center, 6-7 Fred Saunders and 6-4 Billy Powpll at forwards and 6-0 Philip Kidd and 6-1 John Schmid at guards. A win gives the Steers a tie for the conference lead with Rice. Saunders is the Steers’ leading scorer with 296 over the full sea son and 123 in conference play. The SMU win was the Cadet’s first in their last 15 starts and was the first Aggie conference vic tory since last season’s 51-43 de feat of SMU, also in DeWarc field house.

John Mcllhenny’s tip-in of Joe Boring’s missed free shot with 13 seconds to play was the Cadet vic tory margin. The goal was only Mcllhenny’s third of the season. Flinders Ties Score Art Flinders had tied the score at 69-all with two free shots with 57 seconds to play. Then Addison gave the Aggies a 70-69 lead on a free shot with 45 seconds left. Ronnie Morris fouled Boring, who made the first shot and missed the second. Then came Mcllhenny’s clutch shot. Flinders hit a jump shot with four seconds to play, but that was all. The Aggies clambered up from behind a 13-17 deficit at the end of the first period to take a 34-30 halftime lead. In the third quar ter, ignited by Addison’s 11 points, A&M twice engineered 11 point leads and led, 53-46, at the end of the third quarter. But in the final period, the loss of Roy Martin and John Forten berry, who fouled out in the sec ond and third quarters, finally be gan to tell, and the Mustangs tied the score at 68-all.

Fords New Bell-doirrt Suspension giires you the Newest Ride on the Road ! -I This revolutionary new Ford front suspension soaks up road shock before it reaches you!. Makes all riding and handling easier! Seals Out dirt. You can forget road splash because dirt and water can’t get into the ball joints in Ford’s new front suspension. Each of the four joints is effectively sealed by a unique rubber-and-metal shield. This means that con tact surfaces of each ball and socket remain clean—wear is kept to a minimum. The “old” roads won’t seem the same with Ford’s new Ball-Joint Suspension “paving” the way for you. You’ll enjoy a softer, more level ride because Ford’s new system allows greater shock absorbing movement of^the front wheels. Handling is far better, too, not only on turns but on the straightaways as well. That’s because conventional kingpins have been replaced by simple, sealed ball joints that won’t stick or bind. No other car in Ford’s field can equal this modern ride— because no other has Ball-Joint Suspension. Agile new performance, too, is yours in a ’54 Ford. Whether you choose Ford's new 130-h.p. Y-block V-8 or 115-h.p. I-block Six you get the quick response and smooth, quiet operation of a modern overhead valve, low-friction deep-block engine. And no matter which of Ford’s 28 new models you choose you enjoy recognized style leadership—with clean, modern lines . . . sparkling new colors . . • and harmonizing upholstery fabrics and trim. Keeps that new-car feel. You’ll enjoy Ford’s new-car feel much longer because ball joints are spring-loaded to compensate automatically for any . wear. Front wheels hold alignment far longer than with conventional systems. Ball joints can’t stick or bind. Steering remains consistendy easy. Eliminates 12 wear points. Ford’s Ball-Joint Front Suspension elimi nates 12 of 16 points of wear found in conventional systems. Rubber-bushed supports at inner ends of suspension control arms not only reduce the number of wear points but also insulate chassis from road noises. r.c.Aj We cordially invite you to Test Drive a 415 K Ma •1333
