! Page 4 THE BATTALION Friday, January 14, 1955 ilbrey Shows Well By JERRY WIZIG Battalion Sports Editor Roger Harvey, John Fortenberry and George Mehaffey turned in good performances in a 30-minute game-type scrimmage yesterday, but reserve center Don Bilbrey stole the show as the Aggies pre pared for their Saturday game with the University of Houston. It was the first workout for A&M since the 93-GO defeat to SMU in Dallas Tuesday night, and it showed during much of the prac tice session. In a 30-minute offensive drill before the scrimmage, the starters looked ragged. Not until Bilbrey, a 6-3 ^ transfer from Cameron junior college, started hitting with about nine minutes left in the scrimmage did the regulars pull away from the reserves. The final score was 37-23. Coach John Floyd, who scouted Houston’s 75-63 win over Okla homa City university Wednesday night,' said 7-foot center Don CHS Teams Enter Two Tournaments This i c / tournament weekend for A&M Consolidated basket ball teams, with the Tigers competing led 25-0 at quarter. the end of 1 the third in the Navasota invitational tour ney and the Kittens playing in the Tiger scoring record follows: FG FT PF TP Madisonville tournament.

For five games now, the top scorer has been billed at Frit- zie Connley, a second-semester freshman from San Antonio. “Connley” is actually Connal ly, though. It seems that Fritzie didn’t get around to telling his coach, John DeWitt, that his name was mispelled on the roster until Wednesday.
