The Southwest Conference’s tallest team meets the
shortest as TCU battles the Aggies tonight in White Col
iseum.
The Fish meet the Wogs at 6 p.m. in the opener with
the varsities exchanging points starting at 8.
The huge Frogs, sporting a 6-4.7 average, try an Aggie
five that barely reaches 6-2.7, but has proved they can be
double-tough on their home court.
TCU brings 6-10 H. E. Kirchner, 6-7 Dick O’Neal and
*6-5 Ronny Stevenson to battle the boards with 6-4 George
Mehaffey, 6-2 Fritzie Connally and 6-1 Neil Swisher. O’Neal
is the league’s third highest scorer, with 357 points in 19
games.
A&M took it on the chin,
63-46 at the hands of the Ar
kansas Razorbacks Saturday
night in Fayetteville while the
Fish were getting cleaned,
77-54, by the Houston Kittens in
Houston.
Mehaffey was held to two points,
his season low, as A&M wasn’t in
the game after 10 minutes of play.
For the Fish, Wayne Lawrence
scored only 21 points, dropping his
average to 26 per game.
Ken Hutto, who is finally com
ing ipto his own after starting
very slowly, led the Aggie scorers
against the • Hogs with 16 points.
The Froggies after being tied,
43-43, with 10 minutes to go, ran
away from A&M and won a 77-58
affair in Ft. Worth two weeks ago.
TCU is 10-9 on the season and find
themselves only one notch above
the cellar-dwelling Cadets in con
ference play with a 2-5 record. A
victory by A&M would leave both
with a 2-6 mark and tied for the
bottom.
