Rampaging Arkansas roared to the front of the South
west ConfeTence basketball race last night with a 98-66 win
over A&M at Fayetteville.
It was the fourth straight league conquest without de
feat for the Porkers, who had lost seven straight before en
tering the Southwest Conference Tourney at Houston three
weeks ago. Last night’s scoring effort was Arkansas’ high
for the season. SMU is second in SWC play with a 3-0 slate.
Paced by Walter Butler, Manuel Whitley, Terry Day and
Jerald Barnett the Razorbacks piled up a tremendous 35 point
lead in the final minute of the game, and held 30 point leads
in the last six minutes of the contest.
BUTLER, A 6-4 senior cen
ter, grabbed scoring honors
for the night with 23, and also
led hs team in rebounds with
12.
A&M, after an impressive 75-74
win over rival Texas last Friday
night in White Coliseum, found its
scoring attack checked by the
tight Porker zone defense.
Senior Bill Brophy was high
point man for the Cadets with 18,
while Ken Hutto and George Me-
haffey ranked just behind him with
16 and 15 points respectively.
Fritzie Connally, who dunked 20
points in A&M’s win over the
Longhorns, managed to score only
two last night.
THE LEAD CHANGED hands

Thomas W. Taylor, 21-year-old
A&M senior who was stricken
with polio last week, got a taste
of the Aggie Spirit at the A&M-
Texas basketball game last Fri

About $360 was tossed onto the
floor at halftime by the enthu
siastic crowd, and will be given
to the March of Dimes in Tay
lor’s name.

Milner Eleven Nips
Mitchell In ’Murals
Versatile Clayton Wilcox’s pass
ing and running prowess failed to
dent a strong Milner line in the
second half as Mitchell Hall lost
in upperclassman football by a
single penetration.
Wilcox passed to Stephen Love
for the only Mitchell score. On the
try for extra point Wilcox ran wide
and completed the team’s scoring.
Wilcox ran beautifully and amassed
considerable yardage by the aerial
route. Only a stubborn Milner de
fense prevented him from stealing
the show entirely.
Champ Anderson crossed paydirt
for winning Milner and Gene Hard
ing made the extra point good.
Larry Washburn took to the air
for Sqd. 21 and led them to a 6-3
win over Sqd. 12 in another upper
classman game. Larry Camillio
snagged the winning aerial and ran
8 yards for the Sqd. 21 tally. With
no chance of crossing the double
stripe, Sqd. 12 kicked a field goal
for their three points.
Paul Duke was the difference
for Walton Hall as it edged Hart
6-0. Duke shook loose for the long
scoring jaunt at the 50-yard stripe.
D-Infantry defeated A-TC 20-7
in the final Class A game.
John Chamberlain led freshmen
basketball scoring for the day, and
capped A-FA’s 35-0 shutout over
A-QMC. Chamberlain sank six
baskets.
AGGIE SHARPSHOOTER Bill Brophy led the Aggies in
scoring last night against Arkansas with 18 points. He was
No. 2 point maker against Texas with 17.
