"The Aggie Fish open their 1957-58 basketball season
against the Allen Academy Ramblers tonight at 8 in the Allen
Academy Gym.
The Fish face a not-so-bright future this year because
of a lack of height that is so necessary to dominate the court,
both offensively and defensively.
Malcom Lawler, 6-4 national high school All-American
from East Delta, will lead the Fish quintet into the fray. An
outstanding athlete in high school, Lawler averaged 32 points
per game last year as a high school eager.
Lawler, recovering from a sprained ankle received in a
workout earlier this year, is called a “good shooter” and
a “tremendous rebounder” by*
Freshman Coach John Dewitt.
Steve Van Winkle will lend
vital height to the team with
his 6-41/2 frame. Van Winkle,
the nearest thing to a finished
product on the team, is a court-
wise and aggressive player who fol
lows the ball well. DeWitt de
scribes him as a player with “great
potential.”
Red-headed Dale Ethridge, who
packs 200-pounds in his 6-4 frame,
shows great promise as being one
of the big guns on the Fish five
this year. Chosen on the mythical
all-regional team during high
school, Ethridge hails from Ropes-
ville.
Don Mercer, one of the “little”
men on the squad, stands low at
6-1 tk. Mercer made his All-Dis
trict team two years in a row.
Described as quick and accurate,
he will be a constant threat to the
opposing team as a ball-hawk and
fast break man.
Elliot Craig, the smallest man
on the starting five, stands at an
even 6-0. Playing opposite Mercer,
Craig is the same type of player,
quick and accurate. During his
high school years, he made the
AAA All-State team and played
on the Texas North-South basket
ball game.
The probable starting line-up for
tonight’s game will be Craig at
guard, Ethridge at forward, Mer
cer at guard, Van Winkle at for
ward and Lawler in the post posi
tion.
Expected to give reserve depth
to the team are Joe Thompson, 6-1
-AAA all-stater from Bryan; Dick
ijkerson, 6-4 player from Bryan;
JJen ry Kitzman, 6-footer from
I'ejtson.
[hg Allen Ramblers will prove
►be worthy opponents for the
sh, although they have already
dropped two games this season.
They boast a team that has both
depth and experience; experience
being something that the Fish are
unable to achieve each year.
Last year the Fish posted a 4-7
record, their first defeat of the
year being to the Ramblers by a
score of 62-58.
The Fish this year are not very
big, but they are a lot faster and
show more hustle than their pre
decessors. Their fault now, ac
cording to DeWitt, is learning how
to be “more aggressive.”

What Makes Ibp Com Rip?
Popping corn contains water. When the water gets hot enough*
the kernel explodes. Result: popcorn.
We’re not passing this information along as a public
service. Actually we’re up to the same old game.
You see, popcorn makes most people thirsty.
Fortunately, when most people get thirsty
they hanker for the good taste of Coca-Cola.
Wouldn’t you like some popcorn right now?
C’mon now, wouldn’t you?
