Four freshmen led the attack, with Steve Van Winkle of Peoria, Ill. massing 15 points and Dale Ethridge of Ropesville and Don Mercer of Longview scoring 11 apiece. Joe Thompson of Bryan contributed 10 points. The game’s leading scorer was Allen Academy’s F. Persyn, who evened things somewhat with his 25-point contribution. At times, the Cadets appeared a little “over-eager,” losing the ball via the “poor-pass” route, but they completely dominated the rebound ing. Coach John DeWitt’s anxious freshmen sped to a 15-4 lead over the hapless Ramblers in the first quarter, and led at the end of that period by 21-10. However, in the final stanza, the Fish caught fire, and ran a nine- point lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter to the 20-point mar gin at the final buzzer.

SWC Meet Has Dull Agenda What may be the dullest South west Conference meeting in a de cade opened in Dallas yesterday with even the athletic directors and football coaches having to strain to make a recommendation. The faculty committee, govern ing body of the conference, starts its winter session today. The agenda is brief and the only thing that might produce even mild fireworks is that “rumors of rules violations involving several schools” will be taken up. The conference has asked the Texas Interscholastic League tq allow the signing of schoolboy ath- Ending SCONA'S Conference —With— “Fact Finding Bound Up” Saturday, December 14, 1957—12:15 P. M. Luncheon Talk* M.S.C. Ballroom Mr. John Scott John Scott of TIME is an author and a correspondent with unusual firsthand experience in global reporting. As a Special Assistant to the Publisher of TIME, Scott brings to the lecture stand a unique point of view on the Role of the United States in World Affairs. Scott’s global assignments for Time began in the summer of 1952, wfrere he spent most of his time getting a close look at the recon struction of Germany and Austria. For the past five years, he has made extended trips to Europe and the Middle East, with a three- month survey of Latin America in 1955 and a swing through South east Asia in 1957. TIME’S Publisher likes to describe Scott as his “Intellectual Johnny Appleseed.” •Note: lApsitetf inintper of tickets a-vails-ble at §3.00 per plate at MSC Directorate Office, VI 6-5721 Tonight “The United States and World Affairs” Sponsored by Friday, December 13, 1957^8:00 P.

There has been some scattered sentiment for ignoring the league’s rule and signing the boys before they have completed their eligi bility. The athletic directors and coach es recommended to the faculty committee that coaches be allowed to contact boys at all-star games who had signed letters of intent at their particular colleges, that there be no change in the start of prac tice in freshmen football and that each school be allowed five games, and that the size of travel squads in football be left to the discretion of the individual school. Lawrence Hits 16 But Spiders Romp The unbeaten Richmond Spiders, utilizing their immensive height and masterful shooting humiliated the Texas Aggies last night in Richmond, Va. by the score of 70- 50. The Aggies, who will face some of the outstanding cage squads in America on their East Coast tour were never in contention for the game—behind from the very start. Soph Center Wayne Lawrence was the game’s leading scorer, however and meshed the nets for 16 points. Theryl Willis of the Spiders was a close runner-up with 13, but he played in only half the game. Richmond was in command from the very start, and was able to distribute its scoring among 11 players. Besides Willis’ scoring ef fort, Larry Rauppius and Phillip Morris each had 10 points for the Spiders. The well - balanced Richmond bunch held a 33-22 advantage at the halftime. During the second half, however, the Spiders produced true to form and spurted to a commanding 59-34 lead before Richmond coach Lester Hooker lifted his regulai-s. The tough sliding zone used by the Spiders completely handcuffed (he Cadets to the point that Law rence was the only Aggie in tjie double figures of the scoring column. Bobby Rogers’ cagers will have an off-day today, but tomorrow afternoon in Columbus, Ohio they will face the Big Ten powerhouse, Ohio State. The first opportunity the Cadets will have to display their talents before a home crowd will be Jan uary 7, when the Farmers will play host to the Texas Long horns. Golfer Dan Mosel Set New Record Dan Mosel, a 25-year-old trans planted Texan, shattered the com petitive course record yesterday with an 8-under par 62 and opened up a wide lead in the first round of the Sanford Open Golf Tourna ment. The red-haired bespectacled lit tle shotmaker, unperturbed by shivery temperatures, was never over par while bagging six birdies and an eagle deuce for his record 33-29-62. The old mark of 63 was set in 1955 by Don Fairfield of Casey, Ill., and equaled by last year’s winner, Mike Fetchick of Yonkers, N. Y. Do Your Christinas Shopping NOW!!
