THE BATTALION

RECORD BREAKERS—Power to spare can be generated by (1. to r.) Bobby Jack Gross,
Herman Johnson, Tom Bonorden and Harry Cox, A&M’s mighty crew of shot putters.
Gross, Johnson and Bonorden have all heaved the iron ball over 54-feet. Cox has thrown
over 49-feet, and should break the 50 mark this season. They put the shot a combined
distance further than any four shot putters on the same team at the same time in the
world.

conference swimming titles and co
champs another year, bounced
A&M in the 1955 SWC meet, 128-
113, with SMU and Rice trailing.
Only the Ag-gies, co-champs in 1944
and title winners in 1945, and
SMU, who captured the champion
ship in 1953 and 1954, have man
age to wrest the honors from the
almost-invincible Longhorns.
The mighty Steers return seven
lettermen from their 1955 champs.
Last Saturday they turned in a
crushing 60-23, victory over the
Rice Owls in Austin and must be
given the favorite nod tomorrow.
Leading the Longhorns are Rich
ard Lawler, senior two-year letter-
man who easily took the conference
one-meter and three-meter diving
championship, Joe Lee Neal, jun
ior letterman, who totaled 15 im
portant points in the 1955 title
meet, Fddie Johnson, junior letter-
man, who plucked off 12 points last
year, and junior letterman, Reece
Anderson, who came up with 10
points in 1955.
Okamoto, Dick Weick and Dick
Hunkier have been the biggest con
tributors to the Aggie win streak
so far. Okamoto, swift sophomore
from Brazil, won the 220 and 44-
yard freestyle races against SMU;
Weick holds the SWC records in
the 100-yard butterfly, the 200-
yard breaststroke and the 200-yard
medley while Hunkier took first in
the conference 50 and 100-yard
freestyle events in 1955 and an
chored A&M’s winning 400-yard
freestyle relay.

To Meet Busy Bee

Trying desperately to hold onto
its first division berth, A&M en
tertains the dangerous Rice Owls
here tonight at 8 in the final home
appearance of the Southwest Con
ference cage campaign.
RICE, LED BY tree-top Tem
ple Tucker and Joe Durrenberger,
stand third in the SWC and can
point to a brilliant 18-4 season re
cord. Tucker, 6-10 point making
specialist, leads the Owls in scor
ing with 460 points over the sea
son, an average of over 20 points
per game.
Durrenberger’, the conference
leader in rebounds, has dipped 317
points for an average of more than
15 points per game. Tucker hit 43
points in leading the Owls past
A&M, 110-81, in the SWC tourney
earlier this year.
A&M OPENED LOOP play
against Rice in Houston Jan. 7 and
fell before an 89-77 barrage, spark
ed chiefly by Tucker’s 29 points.
The Aggies have a league record
of three wins and seven losses,
their last game being Wednesday
night’s 91-67 loss to TCU at Fort
Worth.
Rice was upset by an aroused
Texas Longhorn quintet last Tues
day night in Austin, 94-82, and
lost any chance it might have had
for a share of the conference title.
SMU, of coarse, can become the
SWC champion for the second con-
sectuive year by beating Arkansas
Saturday night. Sy
PROBABLE STARTERS for the
Aggies tonight will be George Me-
haffey, Bill Brophy, Don Bilbrey,
Ken Hutto and John Fortenberry.
Coach Don Suman will start his
usual lineup of Durrenberger, 6-7,
Fred Woods, 6-3, Tucker, 6-10, Dale
Ball, 5-11, and Gerry Thomas, 6-2.
Sophomore Ken Hutto continues
to lead the Cadets in conference
scoring this week with 157 points
chalked-up in 10 games. Senior
Bill Brophy pulled ahead of George
Mehaffey for second place honors
in scoring by hitting a total of 38
points against SMU and TCU.
Brophy has 140 points while Me
haffey boasts 132.
Coach Ken Loeffler’s Cadets have
already assured A&M of its finest
season in over three years on the
hardwood court. In the past two
seasons A&M had managed to gar
ner only two victories against
SWC competition.
The Aggie Fish own a 3-6 sea
son record after Wednesday night’s
86-110 shellacking at the hands
of Tyler Junior College at Tyler.
Neil Swisher, leading freshmen
scorer, hit his highest single game
total of the year, sinking 26 points.
Alex Roberts, fourth among Fish
point makers, dunked 20 against
Tyler. The Fish close out their
season, as does the varsity, against
Texas Feb. 28 at Austin.

DALLAS—Texas Tech is expected to be voted into the
Southwest Conference Conference in May but even if it is it
will have to wait five years before it can get on the schedule
of every other member.
If the conference should make a special provision and
allow Tech to play for the championship with less than a
round-robin Tech could be competing- by 1958 because that
year the Red Raiders could be on a majority of the schedules.
A survey showed that Tech can’t get on the Southern
Methodist schedule before 1961, the Rice and Texas sched
ules before 1960 and the Texas Christian schedule before
1958.
