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.
Saturday, the Cadets di’opped
in an amazing 52.3 ixer cent of

their field goal tries, hitting on
23 of 44. Addison sank 10 of 14,
made 16 of 21 free throw shots and
grabbed 11 rebounds.
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. A Flinders
jump shot with 5:24 left did it.
HE MISSED IT—Joe Hardgrove (88) goes high into the
air for a lay-up shot (which missed) against SMU Sat
urday night. The Aggies won their first Southwest con
ference game of the season, a 73-71 thriller.

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.
