Corson Fouls Out,
Fish Lose, 73-62
By JIM CARRELL
The Texas Shorthorns edged the
Texas A&M Fish, 73 to 62, in a
tightly-fought basketball game last
night in College Station.
Leading only 37-36 at halftime,
the Shorthorns began to find the
range with about five minutes to
go and pulled away to their win
ning margin on the shooting- of
Jay Arnette. Arnette whipped
through 10 in the last 3:19 and had
a total of 23 for the night.
The excellent play of Wayne
Lawrence, the 6-9 Pawcatuck, Conn,
freshman, kept the Fish in the ball
game, accounting for 29 points,
high for the night, and sweeping
10 rebounds off the backboards to
lead both clubs.
The loss of 6-6 Dave Corson,
freshman from New Orleans, on
fouls with 66 seconds left in the
first half hurt the Fish severely.
Corson had 11 points and seven
rebounds for his half’s work. Dick
Anderson of Houston Jeff Davis
also had 11 for the Fish.
The foul-filled contest saw the
officials whistle the ball dead 52
times with 27 accounted for by
the Fish. Lawrence, Corson, Jim
Anderson, and Bill Edge of the
Fish fouled out, prompting Coach
Lee Frasier to clear the bench and
finish the last 18 seconds with only
four players on the court.
The A&M Fish led in rebounds,
30-29, and had a field goal per
centage of 37.2 on 16 of 43 at
tempts. Texas had 42 per cent on
21 of 50
attemps.

A&M’s defending Southwest Con
ference swimmers, recent victors
in the SWC Relays, host Florida
State University today at 4:30
p. m. in Downs Natatorium.
The Aggie splashers will be
bolstered by the return of Tetsuo
Okahoto, who wasn’t enrolled in
school last semester. Okamoto, the
Sao Paulo, Brazil, speedster, cap
tured the 1500-meter and 440-yard
freestyle races in the 1956 SWC
meet and swam to second in the
220-yard freestyle. Both his win
ning times were new records—
19:21.6 in the 1500 and 4:51.5 in
the 440.
A&M broke a 26-meet winning
streak last season in Florida, out
distancing the State splashers,
4914-34%.
“They’ll be out to get us this
year,” asserted Aggie Coach Art
Adamson, “And they’ll be really
tough, but the return of Okamoto
will help us a lot.”
The Cadets roared to their second
consecutive conference relays title
in the opening meet of the season,
scoring 70 points to SMU’s 60,
Texas’ 58 and Rice’s 40. The A&M
triumph was the most one-sided
in recent years.
Half: Texas 37-36.
Officials: Main and Horstman.
BASKETBALL
(Continued from Page 1)
when Swisher dropped a jump shot
with four seconds remaining to
give A&M a 31-30 halftime margin.
The second half saw the same
break-neck play with the Long
horns finally breaking on top by
seven points, 50-43, on the shoot
ing of Kermit Decker. They
couldn’t hold it, however, and the
Aggies came driving back, to
the joy of the 6,000 partisan
fans, and tied the score, 59-59,
with 4:53 remaining.
A&M went into a three-minute
freeze at that point before Con-
nally drove in for an easy layup
with 1:27 left. Downs immediately
tied it, 61-61, and the game went
into the overtime period.
The score was tied three times in
the five-minute pferiod before Me-
haffey won it.
