A&M has a 3-3 record against conference opponents and a 6-12 overall record this season. Coach. Ken Loeffler’s Cadets are only one game hack of the third place Rice Owls, who stand 4-2 in SWC action. During the mid-term holidays the Aggies didn’t fare too well, losing two straight. The powerful Oklahoma City Chiefs bounced the Ags, 76-56, at Oklahoma City Jan. 30 and five days later A&M lost by a lop-sided 74-105 score to the strong Houston Cougars at Houston. Saturday night A&M journeys to Waco to battle Baylor’s Bears, cur rently locked in a three-way tie for fifth position in the SWC derby with Texas and TCU. All three have won one and dropped five in conference contests. SMU, undefeated in loop games, and one of the top 20 teams in the nation seeks its 11th straight«vic- tory of the season tonight and its 22nd consecutive triumph on its home court. The Mustangs play host to an old rival—the University of Texas. Baylor and second place Arkansas clash at Fayetteville in another game tonight. Bill Brophy, 6-3 Aggie marks man, dunked 33 points iu A&M’s loss to Houston to set the individ ual high mark for single game scoring on the team this season. His point making efforts during the holidays pushed him into the 8th spot among SWC season scor ers. Brophy’s 228 points over the sea son is also tops on the Aggie quin tet, with sophomore Ken Hutto only four points behind with 224. Hutto has the best per-game aver age to date with 14.9. George Mehaffey remains first among Cadet shai-pshootei's in SWC scoring with 101 points, al though he dropped from third to a seventh place tie with Arkansas’ Manuel Whitley among conference leaders. Hutto is eighth in SWC scor-ing, having bucketed 95 points. Ponies Streak To SWC Lead With 6-0 Mark With half the Southwest Conference basketball season in the record books SMU’s high-flying” Mustangs are off and running toward their second consecutive league title. Undefeated with a 6-0 record, in SWC action, the Ponies downed the dangerous Arkansas Razor- backs in Fayetteville, 58-53, last Saturday to drop the Porkers into second place. THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT—Coach Ken Loeffler, who is officially listed at 5-10, steps in front of A&M’s George Mehaffey, tallest man on the starting quintet at 6-4, to explain a thing or two in a practice session. A&M, now fourth in SWC standings, resumes play against Baylor at Waco Saturday night.
