Coach Bob Rogers’ Aggies meet Alabama in the opening round Fri day while Auburn and Wyoming tangle in the other first round game. Winners and losers meet each other Saturday night. The Aggies have beaten Houston and Sam Houston at home and Trinity and Centenary on the road thus far this season with Capt. Neil Swisher, Victoria senior, set ting the scoring pace with an 18.5 average. Swisher teams with Wilmer Cox, Kilgore Junior College transfer and Houston Milby product, to give the Cadets a solid guard combina tion. Cox, a junior, is runner-up to Swisher in scoring with a 13.5 av erage and has been a rugged de fensive pez’former. At forwards for the Aggies are Wayne Lawrence, 6-7 Pawcatuck, Conn., junior, and Archie Carroll, 6-6 senior from Lon Morins JC and Redlands. Lawrence has posted a KGDL ANSWER G R A Switch -from Mots *}o Snow Fresh KGDL 13.0 average while Carroll has a 10-point mark. Jim McNichol, 6-5 senior post man from Philadelphia, owns a 7.0 per game average. The sixth “starter”, Ernie Turn er, Beaumont senior, is the first substitute and although a good de fender, has scored but 11 points in the four games. Lack of an ade quate bench has forced Rogers to play these six men almost 100 per cent of the time. Fortunately, the Aggies have seen only two players to foul out on personals McNichol did so against Houston while Cox drew his fifth foul late in the Centenary game. With the three-day Southwest Conference tournament at Hous ton coming during the holidays and the 14-game conference slate loom ing in January and February, Rog ers must get more help from his reserves. He will have Kelly Chapman, 6-4 Tyler Junior College transfer, for the final nine conference games. Chapman, with a tremendous eye for the basket and a good rebound er, is not eligible this first semes ter. After the SWC tournament at Rice gym, Dec. 26-29, the Aggies open loop play at Dallas against SMU Jan. 3. The home conference opener is Jan. 6 against Rice. For the first time in recent years the Aggies have matched the op position on the backboards. Law- renee and Carroll are the rebound ing leaders with 35 and 31 respect ively as the Aggies lead their opponents in this department, 176 to 158. That the Cadets are getting good shots and hitting them is proven by the team’s .437 percentage from the field. S PORT SLANT By FRED MEURER S w MERRY Hii® CHRISTMAS 11 ... AND BEST WISHES TO EACH OF YOU, OUR FRIENDS from the LOUPOTS Fate’s icy fingers hold no scruples at grasping out and snatching life or limbs from even the most noted personali ties in any walk of life—including the sports world. It holds no regard for title when its spins its “Wheel of Misfortune” and comes up with another accident schedule. With this in mind, Sports Slants will digress from the usual sports chatter today and look at the won-and-lost column that designates athletes involved ip career-ending ac cidents. In this box score, victories are few. Through the years, numerous figures prominent to readers of the sports page have made sensational news of the worse variety due to this thing called Fate. Very few have won, many have lost and several have luckily broken even. Perhaps a glance pretty close to home would be the best way to begin this cross-section of tragedy. Remember Frank Eidom, great Southern Methodist University halfback? He was killed in a highway accident shortly after graduation and just before he was to play professional football. Farther back in the sports annals lies the account of another Texas athlete who had his baseball career halted in its early stages. This is Monty Stratton, pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, who had his leg amputated after he ac cidentally shot himself while hunting. The accident came after only four years in the majors, just at the dawn of a great career. Last January in New Jersey, Roy Campanella, great Negro catcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers, was seriously in jured when his car spun out of control on an icy curve. Campy is still partly paralyzed and his baseball career has been shattered. Turn the newspaper pages back only a few weeks and you will find accounts of Mel Ott. Recent ones don’t tell about his outstanding career with the New York Giants or about his selection to baseball’s Hall of Fame. They tell the grim story of a curve and two vehicles—and the resulting death of him and his wife. Ben Hogan, one of the greatest golfers ever to tour the American greens, was one of the “lucky” ones. After an auto accident some years ago, doctors looked at his maimed body and said he may not live, much less play golf. Ben overcame the odds and continued his career. But you say you aren’t a great athlete, Aggie? You want to know where you fit in? Perhaps you have not yet climbed the pedestal of recog nition, but some day you might be riding high in any career you choose—sports or anything else. Well, as mentioned before, fate holds no regard for title. In fact, fate may not let you attain any title at all. But your chances of doing so are much greater if you practice a little care in anything you do, be it driving on the highway, hunting game in the forest or just casually cross ing from one side of the street to the other. Ags in Underdog Role At SWC Tank Relays - 'n fat Texas A&M swimmers enter the I led by Dieter Ufer and Orlando Southwest Conference Relays at Texas Tech Friday as the third place choice behind Southem Meth odist and the University of Texas. This will be the 10th annual meeting of this type for SWC teams. The Ponies lead in the series with five wins, the Long horns are second with three and A&M has one. SMU walked away with the re lays last year, besting A&M, their nearest opponent, 116 points to 10., In the conference championship meet later, they piled up 188’/z points to runner-up A&M’s 91. Aggie swimmers this year are Cossani, boosted by a horde ol promising sophomores. Topa among the latter are John Har rington, backstroke artist from A&M Consolidated, Jack Scholl of Corpus Christi Ray and Mike Ful ton of San Antonio. KGDL KROSSWORD No. 12 ACROSS 1.
