two-year title hold, downing Tom-
ball for the championship.
SOMERVILLE and Cyp ress-

the Fish scoreless.
The Owlets have breezed to vic
tories over Wharton Jr. College,
Allen Academy, Victoria Jr. Col
lege and South Texas Jr! College.
They downed Allen, the only team
both clubs have played, 64-51, in
Houston.
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

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.
"7 am fond of The Reader's Digest on all sorts of scores,
but mainly because it always lives up uncompromisingly
to being what its name implies—a service to readers. In a
dozen languages—Inside Asia, Inside Europe, Inside
South America, Inside Africa—it brings readers an in
valuable cargo of pleasure, information and encourage
ment sifted scrupulously and zealously from printed pages
all over the world."

CONDENSATION FROM $3.50 BEST SELLER: “A
NIGHT TO REMEMBER.” Hailed as “ unsink-
able,” the Titanic proudly sailed, carrying the
world’s rich and famous. 5 days later—gashed by
an iceberg—she sank with 1,502 souls. Here, filled
with details never before published, is a gripping
account of the world’s most appalling sea disaster.
UNLESS YOU DENY YOURSELF. The prevailing idea
of millions today is: ‘‘How can I enjoy myself?”
Famed author A. J. Cronin shows why nothing of
real value can be accomplished without self-disci
pline; and why the surest path to true success and
happiness is in learning to do without.
ARE EUROPEAN STUDENTS SMARTER? In Europe,
pupils learn more, work harder, and play less than
in America—but fewer get to high school and
college. Which system is best? Here’s a chance

are some good swimmers that
have not been found.”

FATTERNS IN THE SNOW
••"L ^ -rt:
"m,:: ,~v.. .........
They make pretty patterns on the snow,
these fences. 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. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your
Bible daily.
