GONE WITH THE WIND
^ .TECHNICOLOR
By BARRY HART
Texas ended Slue Hull’s tenure as Longhorn basketball
coach appropriately last night, bombing the Aggies, 98-70,
to pull into undisputed possession of fourth place in the final
conference standings.
A&M saved half of the doubleheader, however, as the
Aggie Fish laced the Shorthorns, 68-63, in the Gregory
Gym opener.
Absorbing their eighth
straight defeat, sixth in con
ference play, the Aggies fell
into a fifth place tie with the
Baylor Bears as they ended their
season with a 3-9 league record
and a 6-18 season record.
A&M WAS IN THE game only
five minutes, pulling to within one
point with the score 4-5, but after
that it was all Texas and Raymond
Downs’ show. Downs, the brilliant
all-SWC forward who leads the
league in scoring, pushed in 33
points to lead all scoi-ers.
Bill Brophy, playing his final
game for the Maroon and White,
dropped a fi’ee throw to make the
score 5-7 at the 14-minute mark,
but then came a five-minute
drought in which the torrid Long
horns severed the nets for 18
points before Ted Harrod’s free
throw gave the scoreboai’d a 6-25
reading.
GEORGE M E H A F F E Y and
Brpphy hit nine points while Downs
and company were throwing in 15.
Texas’ 6-10 center, Ellis Olmstead
combined with Downs to run the
score at the intermission to 49-23,
and the Longhorn supporters were
more than satisfied.
A&M fared somewhat better in
the second htalf, scoring 47 points
to Texas’ 49, but it was too late
then. The Longhorns took the
hardwood and started where they
had left off, scoring seven quick
points before the Aggies could
scratch.
THEY MOVED TO their largest
margin of the evening at 71-34,
then watched A&M get semi-hot
and pull the score to within 20
points at 68-88 with three minutes
remaining.
Both Downs and Olmstead fouled
out and Coach Hull emptied his
bench as the crowd filled the air
with the “Poor Aggies” chant. In
a last-second attempt to hit the 100
mark, Texas’ Ken Cleveland threw
up a desperation shot that stripped
the nest, but the horn had blown
ending the game.

Remembering that the best of
fense is sometimes a good defense,
we spent most of yesterday’s prac
tice period working on defensive
assignments.
Coach Bryant gave us a new de
fense to learn, and part of the two-
hour workout was devoted to let
ting us run through our new as
signments. Starts and stances of
both linemen and backs got quite a
bit of attention, and as usual we
put some more polish on our of
fensive plays.
' When someone mentions shooting
motion pictures you probably think
of Hollywood. But we’re filmed
every day—and we don’t have to
worry about make-up. By taking
pictures of our workouts the
coaches are able to catch the weak
nesses and strong points of all the
players.
After movies are taken of an
afternoon’s scrimmage, they are
rushed to Houston where they are
developed immediately so that
Coach Bryant and the other coaches
can look over the films the next
morning. The coaches always start
looking at the films at 8 a.m., and
sometimes even earlier.
Each player is given a grade on
how he performed the day befoi'e.
The players with the highest
grades are put on the “A” team
the following day, the next highest
on the “B” team, and so on. Nat-
m*ally, everyone wants to make as
high a grade as possible and get
on that No. 1 team—and stay on it.
These movies not only help the
coaches. They help us, too. We
get a chance to go over them and
study our mistakes. By doing this
we can see exactly what we’re do
ing wrong and correct it.
If you’ve ever watched us take
our limbei'ing-up exercises before
practice starts you’ll notice that
no one stands in front of the squad
and gives commands. We go by
sound rather than sight. Our quar
terbacks get on the back row and
count out the exercises in an un
even cadence so that the rest of
the team can learn to react auto
matically to , the quax'terback’s
command.
