Wednesday, February 9, 1955 THE BATTALION Three Ag Gagers Rate Among SWC Leaders Page 3 Despite A&M’s losing record the Aggie cagers boast more players among the top 10 scorers in the Southwest conference than any oth er team so far this season. Bill Brophy, John Fortenberry and George Mehaffey have scored G85 points between them. This is more than half 6f the total Cadet scoring. Brophy ranks fifth in SWC point making over the full season with 262 points. Fortenberry has buck eted 222, Mehaffey has 201. The loss of guai'd Roger Harvey for the rest of the season poses another problem for Coach John Floyd as he brings his charges into the home stretch of the conference face. Ted Harrod and Lee Smith are contenders for Harvey’s vacat ed position. S PORT II O R T By JERRY WIZIG Battalion Sports Editor S Who’s going to finish last poses as much of a question as who’s going to the Cotton Bowl when you start trying to guess the finish of the 1955 Southwest conference football race. Every team in the league figures to be stronger, and you could pick any of the seven to win the title and put up a good argument for your selection. Baylor, SMU, TCU, Texas and Rice are now holding spring drills, with A&M due to start about next week. Arkansas, the 1954 champ which now has a big job ahead in switching to the split-T of new coach Jack Mitchell, will begin around March 1. WILBUR JUST WOKE UP TO the fact that he's in class!

A&M and Rice lose more than anybody through graduation. 13 Lettermen Back A&M will have 12 lettermen back from the ’54 squad along with another who didn’t play last year-. He’s tackle Jack Powell, a ’53 let- terman who was ineligible and is rated a good bet for a starting berth. Returning lettermen by positions are: Center—Lloyd Hale and Herb Wolf; guard — Dennis Goehring (the Aggies lose four lettermen here, Ray Barrett, Norb Ohlendorf, Sid Theriot and Marvin Tate. Tackles — Darrell Brown, Dee Powell and Jack ^Powell; ends— Gene Stallings; quarterback, El- wood Kettler; halfbacks, Billy Hud dleston, Bobby Keith, Jack Pardee and Don Watson; fullback, Bob Easley. Obviously Paul Bryant’s main problem is depth, but that’s noth ing new for the head map of the Thin Thirty. The annual Maroon- White inti'a-squad game is set for the night of March 5, Sports Day. The Cincinnati Redlegs have held their spring training camp at Tam pa, Fla., since 1931 and have re turned annually with the exception of the war years (1943-44-45) when they drilled at Bloomington, Ind. Harvey was the best defensive man on the squad, according to Floyd, and was fourth in scoring on the Aggie five with 108 points. "Harrod played exceptionally well in the first TCU game,” said Floyd, “and for that reason we did not miss Harvey too much then.” A&M will take a rest from con ference warfare tomorrow night when it takes on Oklahoma City university at Oklahoma City. Freshmen coach John DeWitt sent the Fish through a long of fensive drill yesterday in prepara tion for their meeting with the University of Texas frosh here Saturday. DeWitt singled out Willard Hut to, J. C. Smith, Gary Ewert, Bryan Sutherlin and Carter Williams as having shown great improvement over the season. Here is a rundown on Aggie scoring over the regular season.
