Battalion Sports Editcr
A new area in basketball will
begin Saturday night in San An
tonio for the Texas Aggies when
they tipoff with St. Mary’s Uni
versity at 8. Last year, in the se
cond game of the season, the
Farmers downed the Rattlers by
a 69-60 score.
Coach Bobby Rogers, ' new head
basketball coach—recently of high-
ly-successful East Texas State Col
lege—will send his quintet into the
season’s opener in his debut to the
SWC coaching ranks.
Rogers established a very im
pressive record as cage mentor
for the Lions of East Texas. He led
them to the national campionship
of the NAIA at Kansas City dur
ing the 1954-55 season, with an
overall record at East Texas of
113 wins as compared to a meager
32 losses.
One characteristic of the Lions
was they liked high-scoring con
tests, averaging 78 points per
game. This is somewhat of a
breakaway from the defensive and
ball-control style of play Rogers
learned under Hank Iba at Okla
homa A&M.
The Aggies, with only two sen
ior lettermen returning in Ken
Hutto and Fritzie Connally, will
have to depend on their great
abundance of sophomores and jun
iors for their main scoring
strength.
Potentially, there are quite a
number of “scorers” on the club,
but their ability to jell into a scor
ing threat and remain as such will
probably decide the fate of the
team for the rest of the season.
The picture is' anything but dis
mal, however, for Coach Rogers
inherits a very high-talented
huncKpX-.^anhnmm-p.s left over from
'tiic: Loeffler_• dynasty.
Receiving the most acclaim is
Wayne Lawrence, a 6-9 all-purpose
basketball player whom Loeffler
called “the best player since Tom
Gola.” At one time last year,
Lawrence was even considered the
former LaSalle star’s equal—at
least when Gola was a freshman.
Wayne averaged 28 points per
game as a freshman.
Dave Corson, a strong “bull-
Bob Rogers
like” center from New Orleans will
supply the Cadets with the much-
needed rebound strength they have
needed for so many years.
Returning from the seiwice is a
letterman from the 1952-53 Aggies.
Bob Johnson, a 6-1 junior from
Pleasant Grove has worked his way
into the starting lineup and will
no doubt see plenty of action this
year.
Also due to play a lot is junior
college transfer Archie Carroll,
6-5 junior center-forward from
Redlands. He’s probably one of
the best shots on the squad.
Of course, Neil Swisher, the
spark-plug of the 1956 Cadets will
return as starting guard along with
Johnson. Neil averaged 12 points
per game last season and was high
scorer for the team.
Ken Hutto has shown signs of
returning to the form of his suc
cessful sophomore year, and his
ability to score in the clutches will
make him invaluable to the squad.
Other returning lettermen are
Ernie Turner, junior forward from
Beaumont; Jim McNichol, junior
center-forward from Philadelphia,
Pa.; and Jack Schwake, junior, for
ward from LaGrange.
