By Battalion Sports Staff A&M invades the roost of Rice’s high scoring Owls to morrow night for its second start in the young Southwest Conference cage season, while the Fish take on the tallish Owlets. Fresh from a record shattering win over Baylor, 90-70, the Aggies take the Rice Gym floor against a team that has all the credentials of a champion. Coach Don Suman’s flock holds one of the league’s most impressive records with 10 wins and two losses. Rice defeated A&M in the recent SWC tourney, 110-81. * The Owls only two set backs have come in their last two games, and both are against SMU, the defending SWC title holder. Boasting a swarm of talent ed sophomores, the Owls will have plenty of height advan tage over the Aggies, and then some. Temple Tucker, 6-10, sopho more center from Bowie, is third in scoring in the Southwest Con ference and is backed up by senior Joe Durrenberger, a 6-7 forward who ranks seventh. The Aggies come into Saturday night’s contest owning a 3-7 sea son mark and a 1-0 slate in loop action. Paced by Fritzie Connally, Ken Hutto, George Mehaffey, Bill Brophy and Roger Harvey, the Aggies have showed signs of va cating the cellar they’ve occupied for the past two seasons. Connally leads the Cadets in scoring with 115 points, followed closely by Mehaffey’s 114. Hutto, whose brilliant set shooting helped turn the tide against Baylor, jump ed to third in scoring with 98. He’s tied with.Brophy, who also has 98. Off to a poor start, but still im pressive in their two losing efforts, the Aggie Fish will be out to im- pi-ove on their 1-2 season record against the unbeaten Rice Owlets in the preliminary Saturday night. Game time is 6:30. The Fish lost to Allen Academy in their opener, 72-75, came from behind in the final two minutes to win from Houston, 73-68, and lost the same way Wednesday to the Baylor Cubs, 63-65, as the Cubs pushed seven points through the Why John Gunther reads The Reader’s Digest X Ag Boxing Club To Take Part In Waco Meet A&M’s Boxing Club team defends its open team title in the Waco regional Golden Gloves tournament Jan. 18-21 with three returning individ ual champions from last year’s meet. THE CADETS copped the open team trophy last year as they won five of the seven championships in that bracket. Only one of thqse champions, James Earle, was lost by graduation. Outstanding on the Aggie team are Bill Goode, winner of last year’s novice middle-weight crown in the Waco tourney. Goode will be shooting for the open title this year. PAUL ADAMS, freshman from Beaumont, has a long and impres sive ring record and will fill the shoes left vacant by Earle, light weight winner of the past two Waco tournaments. F. L. Dischler, from Iota, La-, the Waco welter-weight champion, and co-captain Connie Eckard, from Irving, last year’s feather-weight champ, will be out to repeat their 1955 performances at the tourney. CO-CAPTAIN JIM Vandermeer, southpaw light-heavyweight, will lead a strong novice team which will include Don Willis, 126 pound er, and Phil Weinert, 147. All three will be making their second trip to the Waco fights. Paul Carroll, 147, and freshman Mike Henderson, Dallas weltex - - weight, round out the team.

The prevailing idea of millions today is: ‘‘How can I enjoy myself?” Famed author A. J.

A&M’s swimming team finished second in the conference last year and lost only one other meet, to Florida State, by a score of 45-39. The swimming team won victories over Northwestern Louisiana, 58- 29; Florida University, 55-29; Uni versity of Texas, 44-40; and SMU, 52-32. Total scores in the confer ence meet last year were the Uni versity of Texas-128, A&M-113, SMU-81 and Rice-13. New records were set by Weick in the 200-yard individual medley and by Ufer, Weick, and Speich in the 300-yard medley. ‘‘The team, looking forward to a successful meet, should defeat Northwestern Louisiana”, said Art Adamson, swimming team coach. “There is still a need for freshman swimmers and I am sure there are some good swimmers that have not been found.” Watch for Details of Our MID-WINTER CLEARANCE in the Tuesday, January 10 Battalion SALE WILL START AT 8 A.M.

But they were not built “for looks.” They were erected for protection. They stand as bulwarks against the physical elements. There are other kinds of bulwarks most of us need in our daily lives—spiritual bulwarks. For even the strongest of us cannot stand alone. Sometimes we think we can . . . but the moment comes when we realize how much we need help. It is then that we turn toward the Church. And, no matter how remiss we may have been, the Church stands there with doors open wide, ready to receive us. But should we wait until we really need a spiritual bulwark? How much better to establish ourselves in the Church now and be assured of its strength and comfort through all our days. THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest fac tor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse ol spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and sup port the Church. They are: (I) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake ol the Church itself, which needs his moral and ma terial support.
