C^cide ffllotor Cdompcinw Bryan, Texas
BY GARY ROLLINS
Displaying a vast amount of “nothing,” the Texas Ag
gies opened their 1957-58 basketball season by dropping a
69-56 decision to unranked St. Mary’s University of San
Antonio last Saturday night.
The hosts were throttled by 6-8 freshman Maurice Harris,
a hustling, husky rebounder from Bryan, who led the Rat
tlers to the victory over the Aggies. This was the same St.
Mary’s team that bowed to Rice last week by a big margin.
Bob Johnson led the Aggies attack with 20 points, fol
lowed by Wayne Lawrence with 12. High scorer for the Rat
tlers was Harris, who popped 16 points through the hoop.
The Aggies were slow in starting. Midway in the first
half, they did pick up the pace+-
and tied the score at 19-all.
However, that was the extent
of the effort. At half-time, St.
Mary’s boasted a 7-point lead,

the lead on the basis of 44.6 per
centage shooting from the field in

were able to hit 38 per cent of
their shots, but in the second

meager 25 per cent. A&M hit 19
of 56 shots from outside.

Farmers in their opener, with jun

The Aggies left Saturday night
