as head coach and left with a 60-
23-5 record. Highlight of his il
lustrious career was defeating the
powerful University of Oklahoma
Sooners — national champions of
1950—in the 1951 Sugar Bowl
Game, ending the nation’s longest
winning streak.
He was lauded nationally for his
1954 coaching job at A&M, his out-
manned Cadets giving out a heart
rending effort eatfh Saturday al
though winning but one of 10
games.
JIM OWENS, former University
of Oklahoma all-American end,
coaches the tackles.
Owens went to Kentucky as as
sistant to Bryant after playing a
year of pro ball with Baltimore
and was on the staff three sea
sons.

Spirited Aggie Cagers Prepare
For Season Opener With Tulsa
By RONNIE GREATHOUSE
Win-hungry Aggie basketballers should have a big ad
vantage over conference rivals this year. The Bryan Daily
Eagle predicted them to finish last in the league race.
Two major problems face coach Ken Loeffler’s spirited
squad of 14 varsity players this season. First is a change in
the system.of play. Secondly, getting rebounds with players
almost certain to be smaller than their opponents.
The Aggies encounter a Hurricane named Tulsa in their
season opener Dec. 1 at Tulsa.
Loeffler introduced his “flash pivot” style of attack to
the varsity, last spring, and the players seem to be picking
it up qbickly. He describes his fast-moving mode of play as
“every man’s a king. Every-'*
One gets a chance to play and rebounds can afford to miss more
score.” because they get more shots,” De-

“What we heed is a tall boy,”
said Loeffler. “I wish we could
get someone here in school who’s
6-8 to come out for the team. It
doesn’t matter whether he’s played
any basketball before or not.”
“We’d like to have someone who
could keep those big guys on the
other teams company. We don’t
want them to be lonely out there
when we play them.”
VARSITY AND freshman teams
held their usual scrimmage session
yesterday. Carter Williams, 6-4,
Bill Brophy, 6-3, George Mehaffey,
6-4, Fritzie Connally, 6-3, and Rog
er Harvey, 5-11, made up the first
string varsity five.
Working with the first team, as
there are no definite starters yet,
were Al Love, Bryan Sutherlin, Ted
Harrod, Ken Hutto, Don Bilbrey,
John Fortenberry, John Henry,
Johnny Lesikar and Jeff Penfield.
“We’ve got as much material as
anyone in the conference,” said
Assistant Coach John DeWitt.
“But there’s no substitute for size.
One big man could make our ball
club.”
“Games today are won on re
bounds. The team that gets those
“This team hits that basket a lot
better than the other freshman
teams I’ve seen here,” said Hard

boys are a lot bigger than last
year’s.”
Gonzalo Diago, 6-3, Stewart Hel
ler, 6-5, James McNichol, 6-6, Alex
Roberts, 6-2, and Neil Swisher, 6-1,
ran on the first string Fish team
yesterday. Jack Schwake, Erwin
Turner, Harry Max and Curtis Hall
