Ending a five-game losing

sue a fourth victory of the season
against Texas’ flashy Shorthorns
in Austin Saturday night.
A 73-62 victim of the Shorthorns

two in a row and match an earlier
streak when they topped the Hous
ton freshmen, 61-58 and Wharton
JC, 76-53, in consecutive games.
The overtime triumph at the ex
pense of Baylor saw the Fish hit
for perhaps their best night from
the field, scoring with 27 of 65

per cent. The Fish with • their
best backboard effort controlled
67 rebounds to the Cubs’ 35 with
Wayne Lawrence snatching 22,
Sammy Myers 16 and Dave Corson
15.
Lawrence, netting 32 points,
boosted his season scoring to 240
points and a 26.6 average for his
best output of the year.
James Anderson of Greenville,
on the basis of his 16 point total,
pulled into a second-place tie with
Corson in Fish scoring.
Corson and Anderson have total
ed 82 points in the nine game sea
son for an average of 9.1 points,
followed by Myers with 56 points

Battle Pennies,
in Gregory Gym

Led by a trio of sophomores, the
Aggie cagers journey into the land
of the coin tomorrow night when
they meet the University of Texas
Longhorns in Austin’s Gregory
Gym at 8 p.m.

Aggie Swimmers
Meet UT Saturday
By BARRY HART
A&M’s swimmers move into Austin tomorrow afternoon
to take on the always-dangerous University of Texas mer
men.
The Aggie Fish get wet starting at 1 p.m. with the var
sity hitting the water at 3.
Coach Art Adamson takes 13 of his varsity performers
and 12 freshmen into the state capital to try the Longhorn
swimmers. The Aggies, beaten only by Florida State in the
past two years, edged Texas, 46-38 here in 1956.
“It’s going to be a rugged meet,” observed Adamson of
the Texas battle. “They picked up a couple of good boys at
mid-semester, including Tracey Word, that will give them a
better-balanced team.”
The Steers should be strong
est in diving and in the free
style races. In the Southwest
Conference relays earlier this
season, the Texas foursome of Jim
Barden, Tommy Smith, Jerrell
SENIOR GUARD TED HARROD—will see action in an
Aggie uniform for the next-to-the-last time tomorrow night
in Gregory Gym as the Cadets battle the Longhorns in
Austin, Harrod has scored 118 points on the season and
88 in league play.

‘knock you cannot
Engineers call it a trace knock,” and only
the trained ear can hear it.
But trace knock, like any knock, robs your
engine of its power, forecasts engine damage.
If yours is a modern car in any price class
—especially if it’s a 1957 model—prevent trace
knock with Golden Esso Extra, the gasoline
with the highest octane rating ever.
Use Golden Esso Extra. Added value from
full performance offsets the small extra cost.
Stop at the golden pump under your
neighbor’s Humble sign.
If you answer yes to any one of
these questions, you should try Golden
Esso Extra—world’s finest gasoline.

Is your car air-conditioned? (On an average, the
engine pulls a 3-ton air conditioner.) *

(These points become even more important as you add
miles to a new car; anti-knock requirements increase
when you pass the break-in point.)
Bryant to Get
Car as Grid
Titlists Feted
A&M’s Southwest Conference
champion grid team will be feted
by the A&M clubs of Texas with
a buffet-style dinner-dance to
morrow at 7 p.m. at the Houston
Club in Houston.
Before the dinner, head coach
and Athletic Director Paul (Bear)
Bryant will be g*iven a 1957 Cadi
llac at a private party by a small
group of close friends including
several non-Aggies.
A full house of more than 700
persons will fill the Texas Room
at «$12.50 a plate to honor the only
Aggie team to win the conference
title since 1941. Bryant’s eleven
went undefeated through the sea
son, with only a 14-14 tie to the
University of Houston marring
their record.
Holder and Joe Lee Neal set a new
400-yard freestyle relay of 3:36,
breaking their own 1956 mark of
3:38.2.
A&M’s Tetsuo Okamoto will
probably sweep the 440 and 220
yard freestyle races, although his
specialty is the 1500.
The Aggies are 2-1 on the season
after winning the SWC relays. Ad
amson’s Cadets lost to the Florida
swimmers, 52-35, then blasted Rice,
56-30, and Northwest Louisiana,
60-26.
The Fish have won their two out
ings, 47-30, against Rice and 41-36
over Houston Reagan high school
and should win without much
trouble. SMU got the cream of
the first-year crop with A&M the
remainder while the Longhorns
picked up virtually nothing.
Orlando Cossani, the 24-year-old
freshman from Concepcion del Ur-
ugray, Argentina, broke the Amer
ican 20-yard course, 100-yard, but
terfly record of 60.5 owned by
Yale’s Stanton Smith and set in
1951. Cossani raced to a 58.6.
Making the trip for the varsity
are Norman Ufer, Dick Hunkier,
Bob Barlow, Okamoto, Roger Bur
ton, Jim Dye, Bruce Martin, Dub
by Godfrey, Henry Goff, Charles
Cook, Lindsey Blayney and Jer
ry Mount,
pennies, are almost unbeatable on
their 40 Acres. Texas conquered
the league-leading SMU Mustangs
for their only conference loss ear
lier in the year in Gregory, then
lost to the defending champions in
Dallas, 79-56.
The Aggies bounced the Steers,
69-67, in overtime in White Coli
seum, but expect a somewhat
rougher go tomorrow night. Coach
Ken Loeffler’s crew are 6-16 on
the season and 2-8 in conference
play while the Texas five stand
11-10 for the year and one notch
above the Aggies in the league
standings with a 3-6 mark.
Once again A&M’s George Me-
haffey duels the great Ray Downs
of Texas. Both scored 23 points
in the Aggies’ victory here, but
Downs has scored 464 points so
far in 1957 to Mehaffey’s 300.
A&M’s three fine sophomores—
Neil Swisher, Ernie Turner and
Jim McNichol — have been doing
most of the scoring in the past
three games. Mehaffey was injur
ed in the Arkansas contest and has
been at sub-par efficiency since.
He did not play against SMU in
Dallas Tuesday.
OHS Kittens
Win Cage Pair
The Consolidated Junior High
Kittens took both ends of a double-
header from the Navasota Fangs
in their final cage games of the
season last night in Tiger Gym.
Tied at the end of the regula
tion game, 39-39, the Kitten “A”
team got hot and bounced the visi
tors, 45-40, while their younger
teammates mauled the Fang “B”
team, 38-12.
Jack Armistead, who paced the
night’s scoring with 16 points,
bucketed two jump shots and Joe
Olian, second in the scoring with
11, hit a set shot while the Fangs
managed only a free throw in the
overtime period.
The Kittens out-rebounded the
Navasota five, 58-40. At one time,
during the third period, the CHS
team lead, 29-20, but the visitors
pulled to 29-28 at the end of the
third quarter.
