Gladiola GuaruiUacd Fresh EGGS SUNFARM Fresh Flavor By RONNIE GREATHOUSE Batttalion Sports Editor Scoring five seconds after the opening tip-off and lead ing all the way, A&M’s speedy basketballers pummeled Sam Houston, 75-46, last night for their fifth win in six starts in White Coliseum. The Aggies meet Texas Christian and Dick O’Neal tomorrow night at 8 in White Coliseum. A&M’s Fish play Allen Academy in the night’s opener at 6:15. Led by Ken Hutto, who registered 15 points, the Aggies placed four players in the double-figures column. Bill Bro- phy was close behind Hutto with 14 and George Mehaffey and Roger Harvey each collected 11. Alert Harvey, who stole the ball five times from the "fBearkats, meshed two charity shots with one second to go in the first half to give A&M its biggest lead before intermis sion, 32-18. A&M quickly pulled away in the final period, as the erratic Kats could get no closer than 15 points in the final 15 minutes. The Ca dets’ biggest lead came only 0:21 seconds before the final whistle when John Lesikar’s tip-in and Ted Harrod’s two free throws gave them a 29 point margin. Working on an undefeated home stand against Southwest Confer ence foes, with only a loss to the University of Houston Cougars marring the home-court victoi'y skein, A&M hosts TCU tomorrow night at 8. In the 6:15 preliminary the Fish will try to get back on the win trail against Allen Acad emy’s Ramblers. Both A&M squads will be out for revenge tomorrow night—the Ag gies having lost to TCU, 59-67, in the second round of the pre-confer ence tournament in Houston, and the Fish losing their opener to the Ramblers by a 72-75 score. The Aggies stand 2-3 in SWC play, good for fourth place, and hold a 5-10 record on the season. The Fish are 0-3 against confer ence teams and 1-4 over the whole campaign, their only win a 73-68 affair against Houston’s Kittens.
