Jim McNichol

the most tired man on the squad, awoke at the end of the
season to prove he knew how to do other things besides
sleep. Possessing a fine jump shot, Jim hails from Phila
delphia, Pa. He’s 6-5 anft lettered last season.
Aggies Are C6 Dark Horses”
TCU, Rice SWC Choice
Reconstruction
While the echo of Texas Uni
versity’s “Smokey, the Cannon”
still roars in the ears of Texa,s
Aggies, the basketball season—
with promises of improvement on
the Cadets’ part—comes booming in
to the picture with the Aggies
opening the season against St.
Mary’s University tomorrow night
at 8.
The Southwest Conference wel
comes a new initiate in Texas Tech,
who will officially become member^
of the conference this season.
The years 1957-1958 appear to be
rebuilding years for most of the
league, with only Rice and TCU
able to field proven teams.
The Owls, led by able coach Don
Suman, still possess Temple Tuck
er, whom they claith to be the
“hardwood answer to John Crow
and King Hill.” Besides the 6-10
Tucker, Suman boasts of such re
bounding and shooting strongmen
as 6-9 Tom Robilaille, 6-6 W. A.
Preson and 6-2 Gerry Thomas. No
doubt this will be the finest team
the conference will see—unless it
happens to be TCU.
The Horned Frogs, after a
promising season last year, ap
pear on their way to next year’s
championship, fielding an entirely
junior team—all lettermen. The
biggest of the Horned Frogs is 6-10
H. E. Kirchner, a strong 230-pound
giant that will control the Froggie
pivot. As if his height weren’t im
pressive enough, coach Buster
Brannon is able to start three

It might be well to add these TCU
tall men are not of the slender
variety. They’re not only tall,
they’re well-muscled.
In one big group comes Arkan
sas, Baylor, Texas A&M and SMU,
who are . the next level below Rice
and TCU. The Porkers are tradi
tionally tough, but they lack the
all-important tall man.
Baylor’s losses were heavy, and
they face a heavy rebuilding task.
True, they’re inexperienced; but
they’re also tall and have some
fine sophs.
The Ponies • of SMU are
dangerous, if for no other reason
than they were conference champ- ;
ions last year. Such old stand-by’s I
■as Jim Krebs, Larry Showaiter, i
i Bobby Mills and Bob MacGregor \
will be sorely missed by coach
“Doc” Hayes. In fact, the Mus
tangs, with their new basketball i
coliseum can be compared to a man |
all dressed up with no place to go.
The Longhorns’ cage squad re
sembles a great deal their football
team. They’re all young, talented
and eager. Once again, the lack
of a man of great stature may
spoil their hopes.
Texas Tech will be tough for one
reason only—this is their debut
into a tough conference, and they
don’t want to become known as
the conference “patsy.” Overall,
the Red Raiders will be rather lofty
in height. Their new field house
and an enthusiastic student body
will furnish them added advantage.
The Aggies, of course, are seek
ing to improve. Last season they
shared the dank, cold cellar with
Texas, but a sudden flux of talent
ed sophs and a few returning “old
heads” will give them enough
strength to name them the confer
ence “dark horse.”
Graduation of last year’s con
ference scoring leaders leaves
plenty of room for new stars.
Some njuries have already been
mentioned In Texas’ Arnette, M.
Williams of SMU, Arrington of
Texas Tech, D. Williams of TCU,
Turner of Baylor, Rankin of Ark
ansas and Lawrence and Corson
of the Aggies.
The conference schedule will
open in January, shortly after the
Southwest Conference Tournament
in Houston.
The predicted 1958 finish: Rice,
11-3; TCU, 10-4; Arkansas, 8-6;
Baylor, 7-7; SMU, 6-8; A&M, 5-9;
Texas Tech, 5-9; Texas 4-10.
All squads will begin their
traveling tours before the Christ
mas holidays.

Kenneth Hutto
Hard-shooting’ six-footer Kenneth Hutto returns for his
third year to aid the Aggies' cause against the rest of the
conference. As a soph, he was a conference scoring leader,
but his performance dropped rather sharply last season.
He’s a two-year letterman from Amarillo.
