Bruins Invade Aggieland
Fish Seek SWC Win;
Meet Baylor Cubs
In Prelim Battle
The Fish will have revenge in
their eyes tonight at (5:15 when
they trot out on the court of
White 1 Coliseum to face the Bay
lor Cubs for the last time this
season.
In their last meeting with the
aggregation from Waco, the Ca
dets dropped a hard-fought con
test that had to be decided in an
overtime period. The Farmers, who
were dealt misery from angles
that night, lost by only one point.
The young Aggies will be with
out the services of tall Malcolm
Lawler, withdrawn from school
because of scholastic difficulties,
but will be a much stronger ball
club than the one that faced Bay
lor earlier this season.
The Fish, fresh from two straight
wins against vaunted Wharton
Junior College and the University
of Houston Kittens, have suddenly
developed an accurate shooting
eye and team play that they had
been lacking in other games.
Against the Kittens the Farm
ers hit a x-espectable 40.5 per cent
of their floor shots tp notch a
victory 78-73. Against Wharton
they made 46 per cent of their
shots.
Don Mercer is the leading scor
er for the Fish, hitting 108 points
for a 15.3 average per game. He
has hit. 39.1 per cent of his floor
shots. Close on the heels of Mer
cer is Elliott Craig, the short
gunner from Beaumont, who has
made 88 points for an average of
12.5. He has tallied 40.9 per cent
of his shots.
Third in line is Steve Van
Winkle who has averaged 10 points
Ver game, making 33.3 per cent
»f bis shots count. Big Dale Eth
eridge has made a total of 36
points for an average of 5.1 per
game. Newcomer Henry Kitzman

team manager Dave Coffey, a hometown buddy from Vic

done.

Aggie Team Scoring Punch
By ROBERT WEEKLEY
Neil Swisher stepped into the
Aggie spotlight Tuesday night in
White Coliseum as he led his team
mates to a new team scoring rec

The stocky, 6-0, guard is used
to being in the spotlight, however.

was widely acclaimed as one of
the outstanding Sophomores in the
conference. He led the Aggies jn
scoring, hitting the basket for 304
points for an average of 12.6 per
game. He garnered 169 rebounds
to place second behind All-Confer
ence star George Mehaffey.
The All-Conference selection
ference coaches aiid 1 thirteen Mports-
writers, voted the dynamic player
Honorable Mention on the mythi
cal team.
Former Aggie Basketball Coach
Ken Loeffler called Swisher “The
best second effort player I’d ever
coached.”
The second effort is paying off
this year as the aggressive player
leads his team in scoring with 218
points for an average 12.8 per
game. He has collected 98 i’e-
bounds.
In the high scoring contest Tues
day night Swisher sank a total of
28 points to lead his teammates
to a new team scoring record.
The 28 points was the high score
of his varsity career.
The remarkable part of his per
formance that action-filled night
was the sharpshooter hitting 75
percent of his floor shots. He
might have scored more if he had
n’t fouled out with three minutes
remaining in the game. As it
was he hit 12 of 16 shots.
Off court he’s a quiet, serious
student majoring in one of the
more difficult subjects, civil en
gineering.
Swisher, a native West Virgin
ian, moved to Texas in time for
his junior year at Victoria. There
he was an outstanding athlete in
all sports. His family still re
sides in West Virginia, his dad
being a civil engineer there.

^ Baylor’s hapless Bears, who
have recently become the doormat
of the Southwest Conference, ven
ture to Aggieland tonight at 8 to
contest the surprising Aggies in
a conference game—the final
match between the two teams.
Since meeting Baylor last, the
Cadets have tripped SMU, while
suffering defeats at the hands of
Arkansas and Texas Tech in con
ference play. In non-conference
competition, the Farmers drubbed
the Houston Cougars last Tues
day night 92-74.
Baylor has shown definite im
provement in their last few out
ings, and will be 'expected to show
more strength than in past occa
sions.
Against Texas Christian last
Saturday, the Bruins scared the
Frogs, losing by the low score of
57-53. TCU came from behind to
score six points in the final 45
seconds to down the fighting
Baylor team.
Charlie Pack, Bruin guard, sufr
fered a broken finger against Tex
as hut will be able to com
pete against Bob Rogers’ Cadets.
In two other games, the Cadets
have handed defeat to the Green
and Gold Beax’s, one by a score of
80-63 in the Southwest Conference
Tourney and once again in Waco
by a 57-47 verdict.
Probable starting lineup for the
Cadets will be Ernie Turner,
Fritzie Connally, Wayne Lawrence,
Neil Swisher and Archie Carroll.
The Fish meet the Cubs in a
preliminary contest. In Waco, the
Cubs defeated the young Aggies
by a 71-70 score in ovex’time.

unsuccessful.
Squadron 23 defeated an out
classed “A” Signal team by a one
sided score, of 32-2.

things. He ran the fix*st TD and
added the exti'a point. He passed
do..Don..Moskal for.the second tally,
to Paul Carroll for the third one
and to Rid Ruth for the extx-a point.

scored the last one as he intercepted
a pass and ran it 70 yards to pay
dirt.
Ironically, it was Kidd who got
caught behind his own goal to
give “A” Signal a safety and
their only two points.
In other class A games, Squadron
13 defeated “C” FA 12-0 and “A”
TC 'and “B” FA won over Sqxiadron
12 and Squadron 9 respectively via
fox-feits.
“A” Infantry and “B” FA will be
the opponents when the finals in
