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.

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.

The other six teams also have
their problems, naturally, but
SWC teams should be stronger
overall than last year. 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.

Tigers Spurt
To Down Katy
In Key Game
Slim Norman Floeck drove
in for a layup early in the
third quarter and A&M Con
solidated rallied to down Katy
60-55 here last night in a vital
district 25-A basketball game.
Floeck’s goal broke a 36-36 tie
with the hustling losers and the
Tigers went on to build up a 50-41
lead 20 seconds deep in the final
quarter.
The win was Consolidated’s 11th
in the last 12 games and set the
stage for the showdown tilt with
Cypress-Fairbanks there Friday
night. Before last night, the two
were tied for the district lead with
7-1 records.
Katy led 16-12 at the first quar
ter mark and 32-28 at the half.
CHS, led by Floeck and Manuel
Garcia, had a 20-9 scoring edge in
the third quarter and sank 22 of

Floeck scored 25 points for high
honors, followed by Garcia with
20. Frank Garcia had 18 for Katy.
