Sports A. Yankee
By BARRY HART
“Go West young, man, go West” the old saying goes, and
evidently it made quite an impression on A&M’s Bill Brophy.
Bill, a senior, came 1800 miles from Pennsylvania to
Texas to play his first schoolboy basketball and there’s not an
Aggie anywhere who’s sorry this Yankee migrated.
“Brophy is terrific—just terrific,” said Coach Ken Loef-
fler of his number one scorer. “He gets better in every
game.”
Leading the Aggies in scoring on the season with 228
points, good enough for ninth place in the Southwest Con
ference, Brophy didn’t play high school basketball in his
hometown of Haverstown, Pa.
,,FADING AGGIE SCORER is Bill Brophy, 6-3 senior from
■ laverstown, Pa. Bill is ninth among Southwest Conference
foint makers over the season with 228 points.

Bill was working and play
ing on club teams during the
summer of 1952 when he met
two boys from Philadelphia
who were members of the Al
len Academy Ramblers squad. They
convinced him to come to Texas
and try for the team. Bill came,
made the squad and has been here
ever since.
Lack of high school experience
didn’t hurt the 6-3 Brophy. He
Ag Handball Club
Meets Tomorrow
A&M’s Handball Club will hold
a meeting of reorganization at 7
p.m. Friday in the Little Gym.
All students, faculty members
and employees are welcome to at
tend. The club is planning a series
of matches with other SWC schools
in this area.
Immediately after the meeting
a double elimination singles tourn
ament will begin for the purpose
of seeding the players for selection
of teams to compete against other
schools. The tournament will con
tinue through Saturday if neces
sary, according to Major Rufus K.
Conoley, Handball Club sponsor.
made the Rambler starting lineup
and helped win the first state
championship in Allen’s history in
1953. The following season Bill
led Allen’s Junior College slone in
scoring, was third in conference
play and captured all-state honors
both years.
Brophy made the switch to SWC
cage play handily and was one of
the bright spots in last year’s sea
son as he led A&M in scoring, with
336 points, in rebounds, with 186,
and in points-per-game with 14.0.
Bill considers the 1954 contest
with LSU and this season’s game
against TCU as his greatest per
sonal thrills on the hardwood. Bill
garnered 28 points, 22 in the sec
ond half, in A&M’s 61-73 loss to
the Tigers, and,- although he scored
only 13 against the Horned Toads
as the Aggies took a 84-74 vie
tory, he enjoyed that one the most
because “They had beaten us three
times last year and I sure wanted
to get them once.”
A married man. Bill is equally
proficient on defense and is second
in rebounds for A&M with 114.
He plays the key middle spot in
Loeffler’s give-and-go type of of
fense and handles the ball more
than any other player.

PHILADELPHIA — Connie
Mack, who helped pioneer base
ball from the sandlots to the No.
1 sport in the nation, died yester
day at the age of 93. Known
around the world as the grand
old man of baseball and one of
the most beloved men in the
history of the game. Mack—born
in East Brookfield, Mass., Dec.
23, 1862—died quietly with his
wife, four daughters and one of
three sons at his bedside. Mack
was in baseball 62 years, 50 of
