Game time is 8 p.m. The game will be broadcast over KORA with Mike Mistovich bringing a play-by-play description of the ac tion. Low rated before the season started, A&M has been one of the surprises of the still young cage season. Opening loop action with a record 90-70 victory over Baylor, the Ag gies dropped a close contest to Rice in Houston last weekend, 89-77. SMU has downed Rice two times in as many weeks, thumping the Owls 76-73 inf Houston and 87-65 at Dallas last Wednesday. DESPITE ITS 3-8 season record, A&M has already an nexed half as many wins as it man aged in the past two seasons. Un der Coach Ken Loeffler’s guiding hand, the Ags are definitely a team to be reckoned with. Two of A & M ’ s basketeers, George Mehaffey and Ken Hutto, are among the top three scorers in conference play. Mehaffey, 6-4 marksman from Houston, ranks second to Rice’s big Temple Tuck er with 44 points. He leads the Aggies in scoring with 142 points over the season. Hutto, whose uncanny accuracy from the field has sparked the Ag gies in their last five games, is tied with Larry Showalter of SMU for third place in scoring. The 6-0 sophomm'e from Amarillo has 15 field goals and eight free throws for 38 points. OVER THE SEASON Hutto has missed only five of 29 free throws for an amazing 83 per cent avei'age. Another sophomore, Fritzie Con- nally, has hit almost half of his field goal attempts, 43 of 89, and is second in scoring on the Aggie team. SMU, pre-season choice to repeat its 1955 title-winning performance, is the leader in both league and full season standings. The Ponies have a 12-2 season mark and a perfect 2-0 slate in loop games.
