SWC Cagers Find
ies Tough at Home
By RONNIE GREATHOUSE
Battalion Sports Editor
Unbeaten at home in South
west Conference action, the
Aggies could hold the key to
the conference throne room as
all three of the loop’s top
teams have yet to meet A&M at
College Station.
Playing superbly in White Col
iseum, winning six out of seven
games, the Cadets now hold the
fourth spot in conference stand
ings with a 3-3 record at the half
way point in league warfare. A&M
stands 6-10 over the full season.
The amazing Arkansas Razor-
backs are lading on top of the heap
with a perfect 4-0 slate, closely
challenged by SMU, 3-0, and Rice,
4-2. Arkansas and SMU meet in
a crucial battle Feb. 4, at Fayette
ville.
A&M gets a chance to add a win
to its road record Monday night
when it meets the powerful Okla
homa City Chiefs at Oklahoma
City. So far the Aggies are win
less against teams on the road,
having dropped nine.
In beating TCU last Saturday
night, 84-74, A&M equalled its to
tal winning efforts of the past two
full seasons. The win also repre
sents the most number of SWC
games A&M has won since 1953.
The Cadets have averaged 76.7
tjoints per game against conference
foes so far to rank third behind
leading Arkansas and SMU. Ark
ansas has the top per game aver
age with 84.3, while SMU is next
with 83.3.
Before this season A&M had
scored over 80 points only once in
its histoTy. This year the Cadets
have managed to break the 80-
mark four times, and set an all-
time Aggie scoring record against
Baylor in their loop opener, 90-70.
Coach Ken Loeffler’s cagers are
sprinkled freely throughout the
leaders in this week’s SWC statis
tics. The Aggies boast the most
number of players in the top ten
SWC scorers with four, George
Mehaffey, Ken Hutto, Bill Brophy
and Fritzie Connally.
Mehaffey is currently tied with
Texas’ Ray Downs for the third
position in point making with 101.
Hutto is fourth with 96 points, and
Brophy and Connally are sixth and
10th respectively.
Hutto has the second best free
throw average in the league, hav
ing hit 29 of 34 tries for .853 per
cent. Ronnie Morris of SMU is
