Ag-Tulsa Tilt Features Two Similar Offenses A&M basketball team meets the Tulsa Golden Hurricane tonight in a battle of offenses that are al most the same. Both teams use a deliberate style attack, concentrating on breaking men open close to the basket. The game will start at 8 p.m. in White coliseum. The Aggie freshmen will open their season against Arlington State at 6 p.m. Coach John Floyd announced only one change in the Aggie start ing lineup from last week’s open ing game. Don Bilbrey, a 6-4 jun ior* will start at center, in place of sophomore Bob Gattis. The rest of the Cadet lineup stays the same, with Roger Har vey and Pat McCrory, guards, George Mehaffey and John For tenberry at the forward positions. “Considering the boys haven’t had enough workouts, I’d say that they look real good,” said Floyd. Tulsa’s probable starting team will be made up almost entirely of seniors. Sophomore guard Jerry Evans is the only non-senior, and is also the shortest member of the starting team at 5-11. The Tulsa attack is led by cen ter Dick Courter, tallest map on the starting squad. Courter scor ed 25 points in a 60-48 win over Baylor. Bob Patterson, 6-4, and Bill Ell iott, 6-1, will man the forward slots for Tulsa. Jerry Hacker, 6-1, and Evans hold down the guard positions. Assistant Coach John DeWitt’s freshman squad will yield a slight height advantage to Arlington. “The freshmen are looking pretty good,” said DeWitt, “and show that they’re anxious to play ball.” The Fish team will have Fritzio Connley at center, Jack Collier and Bryan Sutherlin,_ guards, Gary Wells and J. C. Smith forwards. Other freshman expected to see a lot of duty are Ted Dockery, Er- vel Elswick, and Carter Williams. Coaches Cut Bowl Squads To 35 Today Air force and army squads for the 12th Man Bowl bene fit football game will be cut to about 35 players today. In previous workouts, the coaching staffs have been concen trating on getting a line on their best material. Now, the squads can focus attention on offensive and defensive setups. Workouts in pads will start Mon day. Proceeds from the game, set for Dec. 16, will go to the 12th Man scholarship and the student aid fund. Kickoff will be at 3:30 p.m. Under an Executive committee rul ing, all 3 p.m. classes will be ex cused. The corps will not march in. Tickets are 50 cents and will be sold by unit athletic officers, the office of student activities in Good win hall and at the stadium gate. Last year’s contest brought about $1,700, the 1952 game about $2,000.
