Improving A&M tries to contain SMU’s front running
Mustangs tonight in a Southwest Conference basketball
headliner at Dallas. 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.
