College Rd. Rhone TA 2-9071 ■ Amid many rumors of specula-y tion. Coach Duffy Daugherty of Michigan State announced he would reveal his decision on whether or not he would take the coaching job on his arrival at his home in East Lansing, Mich, sometime this even ing. This was not an encouraging statement, however, for the first time, as Daugherty took the initia tive to make a statement he pre viously stated would be made by Texas A&M officials. Daugherty, who has been offered the identical athletic director-head coaching job which Coach Paul Bryant recently vacated, for a similar post at Alabama, had not been signed to a contract as of last night. The Spartan coach, whose grid team was ranked tops in the na tion for four weeks of the past sea son, made, the announcement as to his status last night in Rochester, N. Y. where he was making a speech. Daugherty conferred with A&M officials Monday night in “general terms” regarding the coaching vacancy at Aggieland. He was quoted as saying “We didn’t get down to anything specific.” He further stated “I’ve got the best coaching job in the country—if you’ve talking just about coaching.” Daugherty does not have a con tract at Michigan State, but he does have a full professoi-ship.

The Tigers were undefeated this season, and were placed twentieth in this, week’s Associated Press basketball poll. It was guard Bob Johnson who provided the big effort once again, as the junior from Pleasant Grove sunk field goal and a free throw with 2:40 remaining in the contest. Johnson was fouled as he drove for the basket. The Aggies then gained possession of the ball and placed it in “deepfreeze” for the final two minutes of play, with Neil ■♦'Swisher adding two insurance points at the final buzzer. It was the Tigers’ third de feat in as many years on their court. Soph star Wayne Lawrence led the Aggie scoring with 22, but Archie Carroll, junior from Red lands and Swisher also supported the cause with 16. High scorer for the Tigers was 6-2 Bob Swander, who tallied 24. The Tigers, who boast a seven- footer in Marvin Seat and a 6-9 junior, Kent Bryan also fared well from the field, scoring at a 51.8 scoring clip. In fact, they led the affray until the fourth quarter, when forward Ernie Turner of Beaumont sunk a shot from the corner to tie it at 64-all. Turner was fouled in the act of shooting, and missed the free throw, but Swisher and Johnson controlled the ball from there and engineered the victory over pre viously undefeated Memphis State, the 1957 National Invitational Tournament runner-up.
