header at 6:30.
Connecting on a torrid 56.4 per
cent of their field goal attempts,
the Navasota Battlers shot their
way to a 59-25 win over the out-
manned Tigers for the champion
ship of the 11th annual Kiwanis
CHS tournament held last week
end in Tiger Gym.
Burton’s Panthers had little
trouble defeating Allen Academy,

In Saturday night’s title game,
the Tigers jumped into an early
8-5 lead, but the Rattlers soon
wiped that out

With a pair of Southwest Conference defeats behind
them, A&M’s improving cagers tangle with the nation’s
fourth-ranked five, the SMU Mustangs tonight at 8 in White
Coliseum.
The Aggie Fish look to improve their 1-1 record against
Wharton Junior College at 6 p.m.
Behind by 19 points at halftime, Coach Ken Loeffler’s
quintet abandoned the zone defense and almost ran the Ar
kansas Razorbacks off the court Saturday night, but the
Ozark gang held on to their lead to win, 72-65.
The Aggies, now 4-10 on the season, run into an SMU
five that has averaged 82.3 points-per-game and own the
services of what well might

be the best big man in SWC
history, Jim Krebs. Krebs,
6-8 pnd 225 pounds, brings a
24.3 average into tonight’s
game, having scored 292 points
in 12 games. The Mustangs only
loss was to Kentucky.
A&M counters with George Me-
haffey and Niel Swisher, who
have thrown in 212 and 189 points,
respectively. Swisher, who stands
seventh in the conference scoring,
leads the league’s “small” men in
that depai’tment while Mehaffey
owns fifth place in the standings.
Swisher paced the Aggie scoring
with 21 points against Arkansas
while Mehaffey had 17.
Loeffler will probably start the
same five that finished against the
Razoi’backs with Swisher and Ted
Harrod, who hit his season high
last Saturday with 10, at guards,
Ken Hutto and Ernie Turner at
forwards and Mehaffey at center,
