Pennies flew, whistles blew and
the undaunted Texas Aggie basket-
bailers broke still another Texas
University tradition.
Whipping the Longhorns 61 to
55 in Gregory Gym in Austin for
the first time since 1951, Texas
A&M set a precedent of being the
first Aggie basketball team to
twice defeat Texas in the same
season since 1923.
Jim McNichol, the 6-6 sopho
more sensation from Philadelphia,
playing magnificently, again pro
vided needed impetus to the Aggie
attack, leading scoring with 24
points on fine goaling from the
field and a near perfect eye at
the free throw line.
Pennies from irate Longhorn
fans came only at a time when
defeat stared their team in the
face, serving only to send home
richer the Aggie players who scoop
ed coins from the floor.
Accuracy at the free throw line
proved the difference with the
Ags cashing in on 27 of 34 gratis
tosses. Texas led in field goals
21-17.
This game, an all-out effort by
the Aggies, saw Ted Harrod, Ken
Hutto, Neil Swisher, Ernie Turner,
and McNichol play the entire 40
minutes without relief.
George Mehaffey, leading Aggie
scorer, sat out the game on the
bench in street clothes, still
hampered by an ankle injury suf
fered in Arkansas.
McNichol, starting only his sec
ond game this year, consistently
hit from the outside with a long,
flat-trajectory shot, sinking eight
of 17 field goal attempts and
bucketing eight of nine free throws.
Ken Hutto scored 16 points,
mostly on a long, left handed jump
shot from the left side to tie for
runnerup honors in scoring with’
Ray Downs of Texas.

Take UT Twice
With Tetsuo Okamoto and Orlando Cossani each winning
two events, the Aggie swimmers blasted the University of
Texas twice Saturday afternoon in Austin.
The varsity dunked the Longhorns splashers, 50-36, and
the Fish took the measure of the Shorthorns, 46-31.
Okamoto, pushed by Texas’ Eddie Johnson, won the 220
and 400-yard freestyle races while Cossani set a new pool
record of 59.7 in the 100-yard butterfly and also captured ihe
150-yard individual medley. The old record 1:00.9, was set
in 1951 by Stanford’s Bob Frojen in the NCAA finals.
Aggie tankers Norman Ufer, Dick Hunkier and Rippy
Woodard took firsts in the 200 backstroke, 100 freestyle and
2 0 0 butterfly, respectively,
then combined with Bob Bar-
low to race to a first in the
400-yard medley relay
The Fish swam away with
both relays while. their varsity
cousins were taking six of the 10
events.
Although the Steers’ Don Chum-
ney captured the three-meter div-

I Longhorns, was ably defensed withA
i a sagging zone, backed by Mc
Nichol, limiting his effectiveness at
the basket. Downs, doing most of
the defensive work on McNichol in
the Texas zone, found the Aggie
ace hot to handle, fouling out with
1:17 left in the game.
It was also McNichoTs tremen
dous effort under the backboards,
that paid off with 11 of A&M’s 32
I’ebounds and froze out Downs,
UT’s leading rebounder, with only
one for the night’s work, his lowest
rebounding total of the year.
Overcoming an A&M half-time
lead of 30-28, the Steers bolted to
a seven point lead of 45-38 with
six and a half minutes gone.
The stunned Aggies, shocked out
of their lethargy, began to catch
up on point-making by Swisher and
Hutto, pulling to 44-45. Then
jump-shot from the corner by
McNichol followed by Hutto’s lay
up pushed the the battling Aggie
cagers into the lead which they
never relinquished.
Aggie stalling tactics with seven
minutes left brought Texas out of
its zone and with 41 seconds re
maining A&M led 59-51.
McNichol, fouled by Ken Cleve
land as the game ending buzzer
sounded, and with a wild throng of
Aggie fans and players gathered
at the circle, calmly sailed the ball
through a hail of coins twice,
providing A&M with its second
jinx-breaking athletic victory in
Austin this year.
