Get Light Workout
A&M’s basketball forces had an
easy day yesterday, Coach John
Floyd giving the varsity the day
off and John DeWitt putting the
undefeated Fish through only a
light workout after a record-break
ing performance Monday night.
In beating the University of
Houston frosh 87-77 for their third
straight win, the Freshmen scored
more points in a single game than
any A&M varsity has ever- scored
and pi’obably set a record for any
Aggie basketball team.
The modern record for the var
sity is 74 points. The Aggies beat
North Texas State 74-33 in 1950
and trounced Baker’s Clothiers of
Poi't Arthur 74-23 in the depres
sion year of 1933.
The Fish don’t play again until
Jan. 4, when they meet the Rice
Slimes in Houston before the var
sity game. The varsity and Fish

and the Fish take on Tyler junior
college.
A hard workout is scheduled to
day for the Cadets, who didn’t re
turn from the Louisiana trip until
10 a.m. yesterday. Floyd express
ed pleasure over the play on the
road of forward Bill Brophy, cen
ter George Mehaffey and guard
Lee Smith.
Brophy scored 28 points against
LSU Monday night and 15 against
Tulane, while Mehaffey made 16
in the Tiger game.
The Aggies didn’t get enough
scoring from John Fortenberry and
Pat McCroi-y, their most experien
ced players, Floyd said. The two
co-captains have only scored 40
points between them in A&M’s four
games.
A&M plays next in the Canyon
tournament, meeting West Texas
State in the opening round Tues
day and playing Hardin-Simmons
or Pepperdine of Los Angeles in
the second round Wednesday.

e night before Christmas
Sleep comes slowly on that magic niglit. Little eyes
bright with the wonder of Christmas don’t want to close. Little
ears straining for the sound of reindeer hooves don’t want
to stop listening. Sleep comes slowly when a child’s whole
world is focused on the shining promise of tomorrow morning,
But Mom and Dad will sleep a little more soundly tonight,
knowing they’ve looked beyond tomorrow morning in
their Christmas buying. Like so many parents, they’ve included a
U. S. Savings Bond among the gifts under the tree. They’ve
given the gift of security that grows right along "4
with the youngster who receives it.
Give the gift
of security— ''
with United States
Savings Bonds
Here’s why Savings Bonds are such an important investment in your
family’s future. Each Bond earns an average 3% annual interest,
compounded every 6 months, if held to maturity. And it goes on
earning interest for as long as 19 years and 8 months! That means
a return of up to 80% more than you originally paid. Think how much
a Bond will grow in value by the time your children or grandchildren
are ready for college or marriage or a start in business.
This Christmas include the present that builds for the future—a
U. S. Savings Bond. And keep on building through the year with the
Payroll Savings Plan where you work — the plan that does your saving
and your Bond buying for you. Someone you love will be glad you did.
