AGGIE OWNED
Scoring Record Shattered
In Best Effort of Season
By GARY ROLLINS
Battalion Sports Editor
With a deadly 71.3 per cent shooting- average in the
second half, the Texas Aggies stampeded the University of
Houston Cougars last night in G. Rollie White Coliseum by a
92-74 score, smashing a school scoring record of 90 points
set against Baylor in 1956 and posting their highest tally for
the entire season.
Neil Swisher paced the racehorse Aggies in the second
half, sinking 9 of 10 field goal attempts. His production for
the night was 28 points, which placed him in the team scoring
lead with 218 points for 17 games. The Victoria guard meshed
the bucket in 12 of 16 tries for a phenomenal 75 per cent for
the game.
The Cadets grabbed the lead much for Guy Lewis’ highly-touted
. early in the contest and never Cougars.
I relinquished it, outshooting There were three other Farmer
the Houston school 51.6 per
cent to 36.4 per cent. The half
time score showed Bob Rogers’
eager charges on the long end of a
139-34 score, but the second period
found the same Cadets in a rejuven
ated role that proved to be too
Here’s Two More!
Wayne Lawrence, 6-8 soph center, closely-guarded by the
Cougars’ Russell Boone drops in two more points to add to
the Aggies’ scoring record. Archie Carroll (54) and Jack
Collier (24) await the rebound that never came.
Aggie Fish Outgun Kittens
In Overtime Battle, 78-73
By BOB WEEKLY
In a frenzied fray that couldn’t
be held by the regulation 40 min
utes the Fish quintet defeated the
University of Houston Kittens 78-
73 in White Coliseum last night to
post their second consecutive win.
The overtime period saw break
neck action with the Fish breaking
out on top behind the excellent play
of Elliot Craig who almost scored
one third of the Cadets’ points.
In a pressure-packed silence Don
Mercer stepped to the free throw
line in the fading seconds of the
overtirtie period to sink two free
tosses and put the game on ice for
the Fish.
* It was Mercer again in the sec
ond half who sank a jump shot to
give the Farmers a 62-60 lead and
what seemed like the game, but
' hvo free throws by Jimmy Wilson
i>f Houston tied up the ball game.
The game was a tightly-played
rontest that saw the lead change
hands 14 times and the score tied
13 times. In the second half the
Fish trailed the Kittens most of
the period. At one time they were
nine points behind the fired up
Cougars, but the Farmers' tightfeh- :
ed up their defense and regained
their shooting eye to forge ahead
of Houston.
Craig paced the A&M scoring
with 25 points, followed by Mercer
with 16 points and Steve Van Win
kle with 12.
