THE BATTALION
Bage 3
UH Uses Sharp Attack
To Jolt Aggies 78-44
By RONNIE GREATHOUSE
Battalion Sports Editor
Stomping’ the footspeed ev
ery time A&M got in sight,
Houston’s red shirted legions
gave Coach Alden Pasche an
early Christmas present here
last night by trimming the Aggies
78-44.
Led by a 6-4 senior f or ward, Art
Helms, the Cougars leaped to an
early lead and stayed in front all
night. Helms, from Crocker, Mo.,
was the game’s top scorer with 23
points.
A&M’s game, but outmanned,
quintet found its attack snNpthered
by Houston’s tight zone defense,
and got no closer than 23 points
in the last 10 minutes of the con
test.
UH’s Don Eoldehuck ( 7-0 center
from Lincoln, Neb., came into the
game as the Cougar’s leading point
maker but netted only seven points
for his night’s work.
Bill Brophy, 6-3 senior, was the
leading targeteer for A&M with

A BLESSED
CHRISTMAS
The Birthday of Jesus Christ is again at hand.
It is fitting that we take stock of our many
blessings . . . that we express in words and
deeds the rededication of our lives to Him and
His Service.
So, in the love of Him who made possible our
observance of Christmas Day, we wish you
the joys and blessings of the season.

13 points. Only other Aggie in
the double-figures bracket was
George (Spider) Mehaffey, who
had 10. The third highest Cadet
scorer was big John Henry with
five.
“We found out what the zone
defense could do to us tonight,”
said Coach Ken Loeffler, after the
game. “Everyone we play who has
a big man will zone us. But we’ll
work on that.”
The Aggies surprisingly got the
opening tip-off. (Brophy, 6-3 was
jumping against Boldebuck, 7-0.)
Little Ted Harrod hit the basket
on a jump shot to put A&M in a
2-0 lead that was quickly erased
by Boldebuck’s two free throws and
Lupe Lopez’s field goal.
Don Bilbrey made it 4-5 with a
jump shot from the free throw
circle, but Houston, powered by
Helms, Joe Dotson and Jack Fos
ter, romped to a comfortable lead.
The Cougars led at halftime 36-17.
Houston piled, up its biggest lead
of the evening, 33 points, with 4:05
left in the game.
The Aggies open their Southwest
Conference season against Baylor
Jan. 4 here in White Coliseum.
A&M will compete in the SWC
Tournament in Houston Dec. 28-
29-30.
Five A&M Tracksters
To Hun In Bowl Meet
Five Aggie trackmen will make
the journey to the Sugar Bowl Re
lays, an invitational track meet,
in New Orleans Dec. 29-31.
Making the trip are Bill Hollo
way, Eddie Bussa, John Roberts,
Emmett Smallwood and Bob Mc-
Knight. The Aggie thinly clads
will run in the 440-yard and mile
relays.
Smallwood, Roberts, Bussa and
Holloway will run the mile relay
while McKnight will run in Bussa’s
place for the sprint distance.
A&M’s best time last season in
the mile relay was 3:14.6 in the
SWC meet, and their best time at
this same stage last year was 3:-
16.1. They have bettered that time
already this fall.
