Big Ten teams found the going rough in an invasion of the Southwest with Southern Meth odist knocking over Iowa 65-55 and Rice blistering Wisconsin 78-37. Texas Christian, Texas Tech and Texas A&M survived the first week of the season without mishap and are tied for the lead with 2-0 records. Texas Christian posted an im portant triumph in beating Okla homa City University, the team that trimmed Southern Metho dist 74-51. The Christians got the Chiefs at home and whipped them 63-58. Arkansas also posted its first PORT SLANT By BOB WEEKHY Baylor wants a coach—or rather it wants to get rid of the one there now. Really it’s kind of confusing. One day they want him and the next day they don’t And Sam Boyd, caught in the middle as a result of Athletic Director George Sauer’s resignation, says he’s going to stay, former students association or no. Personally I’d. like to see Boyd stick around the South west Conference since he annually fields a team that is one of the easiest to defeat in this part of the nation. The defiant Boyd has been head coach at Baylor for three years. His 1956 Baylor team pulled the suprise of the season when it rose up to dump the Tennessee Volunteers in the Sugar Bowl. In 1957 Baylor was favored to win the conference going away, but something happened to the blueprint and the Bears ended up in the cellar. Repeat performance this season— the Bears winning a total of six games over the two-year period. The students themselves and the football team he coach ed are surprisingly quiet about the whole affair. Silence is golden but this one seems a little tinny. Perhaps the stu dents are afraid to speak. Things don’t look too rosy for the Baylorites even if they do get a new coach. They lose the nation’s top passer, Buddy Humphrey, to graduation, along with the heart of the team, Fullback Larry Hickman. If they win one game next season in the SWC it will surprise everyone. But Boyd does have one or two points in his favor. If SMU can retain Bill Meeks, why can’t Baylor have Boyd? I guess things are rough all over. intersectional triumph with a 61- 52 decision over Oklahoma after having dropped to Missouri 74-71 in an overtime game. Texas Tech was impressive with a 73-64 victory over Oklahoma after first whipping West Texas State 93-67. Baylor, which hadn’t been ex pected to start off well anyway, hurt the league worse than any body else. The Golden Bears took a 65-56 trimming from Georgia Tech and a 71-60 strapping from Auburn. For the week the league broke even in intersection warfare with five victories against five losses and it was much better than was indicated as late as Friday when the league was 1-4 against outside competition. Texas A&M beat Trinity .61-51 and Houston 57-45. Trinity it was that knocked over green Texas 83-74. Rice, which had started out with /a 65-49 loss to Kansas, did an about face with a flouish in lash ing Wisconsin. Tom Robitaille was the big man as the tall Rice cen ter flipped in 34 points. Rice held Wisconsin to three field goals the last half. Southern Methodist grabbed the lead in the first two minutes and never gave Iowa much of a chance to catch up. Texas Christian’s tall Frogs dominated the boards, grabbing 47 rebounds, and that was too much for Oklahoma City Univer sity to overcome. Derrill Nippet scored 18 points while Ronnie Stevenson, who usually leads the TCU tallying, did more work at rebounding. He grabbed 11. • SEASON STANDINGS Texas Christian Texas Tech Texas A&M Rice Southern Methodist 1 Texas Arkansas Baylor W L Pet Pts Op 2 0 1.000 159 120 2 0 1.000 166 131 2 0 1.000 US 96 1 1 .500 127 102 .500 116 129 .500 147 131 .600 132 126 .333 191 201 LEADING SCORERS G F Tcm Robitaille, Rice 18 11 ■Neil Swisher, A&M 13 12 H.

Fish From Cagers Win Opener UofH Kittens, 70-45 By BILL HICKLIN Battalion Sports AVriter The promising and talentdd Tex as Aggie freshmen slammed the hapless University of Houston Kit tens 70-45 Saturday night in G. Rollie White Colesium. Riding the 24-point effort of Carroll Broussard, high school All- American from Port Arthur last year, the young Cadets had little trouble with the dimunitive Kittens as they raced to an 8-1 lead during the first four-and-a-half minutes. A tip-in and a lay-up by Don Riggan opened the scoring before the Kittens managed a free throw. Broussard followed with a pair of nifty jump shots, giving the Fish an 8-1 lead, and the rout was on. From that point on, it was vir tually no contest as the Fish in creased their margin to 59-24 at intermission.

A jump shot by Keller with ,6:34 left gave the Ags a 65-36 advantage, their widest margin. Plenty of help was given the 6-5 Broussard by White, who scor ed 12 points, and the 6-10 Riggan, who chipped in 10 more, all in the first half. Much of the story can be told by the fact that the Fish hit a blistering 43.5 per cent of their shots from the floor, while the Kittens hit but 25.4 per cent of theirs. Dick Thurman, a 6-3 forward, led the Kittens with 10 points.
