Leading Aggie Scorer
-Battalion Staff Photo
Junior college transfer Archie Carroll from Redlands,
sneaks in a hook shot against TCU—one of the few points
scored—but enough to give him the edge over Neil Swisher
in the Aggie scoring race. Carroll outbid Swisher, 186
points to 185.
Campus Greets Athletes
With Future Aggie Views
Each weekend outstanding high
school athletes from across the
state are visiting the campus ac
cording to A1 Simmons, two-year
varsity letterman and commanding
officer of “B” Athletics.
“Top football and some basket
ball players are being contacted by
athletic department officials or
members of Aggie booster clubs
and invited to visit the campus for
the weekend,” said Simmons.

He pointed out that the athletes
cannot sign a letter of intent un
til March 15, but they are permit
ted one all-expenses paid trip to a
college campus under Southwest
Conference recruiting rules.
Jim Myers and the new athletic
dormitory are proving to be the
two big drawing cards in recruit
ing the athletes Simmons said.
Present outlook is that next
year’s crop of athletes will be as
good as any in the past few years,
Simmons said in outlining the pro
gram.
Last weekend some 30 athletes
from San Antonio, Sweetwater and
parts of South Texas visited the
campus. Stars from Abilene, Breck-
enridge and other points in Texas
will visit next weekend.
While on the campus the ath
letes eat at the training table, are
shown around the school including
the athletic facilities and the new
dorm. They also attend some ac
tivity such as a basketball game,
usually, with an athlete from their
hometown or that area.
Simmons said the program be
gan last month and will continue
until the end of the year.
Scrappy Ags Show
Statistic Boost
Wrapping up the basketball sea
son for the Aggies in waxed paper
we can see the scorebooks read that
the Cadets posted a 7-7 record in
conference play and wound up in
a tie for fifth place with the once
mighty Rice Owls.
It was the Farmers’ best effort
since 1952 when the Old Corps
racked up an 8-4 record in a three
way tie for the conference crown.
Actually it wouldn’t be fair to
compare today’s Ags with those of
the past because of the entrance of
yearling Texas Tech into the con
ference this year and the extra two
game load that was added to the
win-loss column.
Junior college transfer Archie
Carroll, playing his first year for
the upset minded Cadets, cap
tured the team’s scoring laurels
in conference competition with
186 points, one more than last
year’s champ Neil Swisher. Car-
roll and Swisher both averaged
out with 13.2 points per game.
Sophomore Wayne Lawrence was
third in totals with 142 points in
13 games. The 6-8 rebounder led
the team in the scoring department
until he injured an ankle against
the Baylor Bears in mid-season and
never completely regained his form.
Senior Fritzie Connally, the Ca
det’s floor captain, ended his last
season of college competition with
79 points for an average of 5.6
points per game, followed by big
Jim McNichol with 64 points.
Bob Johnson racked up 56 points
in 14 games for an average of 4.0.
Jack Collier pasted the nets for 18
points in nine games followed by
Dave (Bull) Corson’s 16 points.
Corson was the man who outjumped
and outfought TCU’s H. E. Kirch-
ner, the conference’s leading scor
er, in Tuesday night’s contest at
Aggieland.
Sammy Myers and Senior Ken
Hutto complete the Aggies scoring
totals with seven and six points re
spectively.
Carroll was the leading re
bounder for the Cadets as he
swept the backboards clean 107
times. Lawrence, one of the most
heralded sophomores in the con
ference, was second with ah even
100 grabs.
Percentagewise, it was the lanky
Lawrence who made most of his
shots from the floor count as he hit
39.1 per cent of his floor shots.
Swisher was a close second as he
pasted the basket for a 38.4 per
cent. Corson, playing in only six
games hit 72.7 of his shots.
Sharpshooter Swisher was the
free throw ace for the Farmers,
toeing the white line 65 times and
sinking 53 of the charity tosses.
There was not an Aggie on the
team that did mot make over 50
per cent of his free tosses. The
Cadets sank 236 of their free
throws compared to the opponents
218.
In over-all scoring the Farmers
meshed the cords for 800 points to
their opponents 806. The Ags aver
aged 57.1 points per game to 57.5
for their conference opponents.
The Freshman five, lacking the
height of their ’57 predecessors,
managed to scrape by the season
with a 3-8 record. Two of these
wins were posted in overtime
periods.
The luckless Fish failed to win a
conference contest, losing six of
them by the total of eighteen
points, an average of three points
per game. They played five over
time games.
High scorer for the Cadets wag
6-1'/i Don Mercer with 164
points. Speedy Elliot Craig grab
bed off second place honors for
the Farmers with 146 points, an
average of 13.2 points per game.
Steve Van Winkle, 6-4 from
Peoria, 111., scored 107 points and
snared 91 rebounds to load the
Farmers in that department.
Henry Kitzman, a 6-0 muscular
athlete, scored 41 points for an av
erage of 5.4 while taking 41 re
bounds. Dale Ethridge, 200 pound
er from Ropesville, hit the bucket
with 50 points and a 4.5 average.
