Taunted by jeers of “poor Aggies” that quickly changed to “poor fairies,” the Cadets barely escaped from the paroch ial school intact. One fight did occur in front of the gymnas ium. It wouldn’t have done any good for the Aggies to really have fought back because one of the Baylor campus police was heard to say, “You boys better get out of here before you get thrown in jail.” He was speaking to an Aggie. But the Baylorites’ conduct was not surprising consider ing their past record. Remember the famous Baylor athlete who deliberately kicked a member of the Tennessee football squad he was playing against squarely in the face? Baylor coaches excused the player by saying that “he is such a great competitor that he just forgot himself.” Then last year in Waco Baylor took revenge from a basketball defeat at the hands of the Aggies by starting another brawl with their visitors. Perhaps basically the students at the Christian college are not really bad sports. Maybe it is just that they too get carried away by the game and forget themselves. It is significant that in the gymnasium Saturday night the students, egged on by their cheer leaders, would not let the Aggies complete a yell, drowned out their singing of the War Hymn and booed each decision made by the referees with abandon. Granted the students as a whole did not participate in the affair after the game Saturday, but if a majority cannot control a minority such as was responsible for that incident, then they too shall be judged guilty.

FRANK ISH, Manager Aggie Bowlers To Enter Three Major Matches The A&M Bowling Club will en ter teams in three m^jor bowling events in the near future. Plans were outlined by Marvin H. Butler, faculty advisor, for par ticipation by the Aggie keglers in an intercollegiate match at A&M, in the Texas state tournament and in a national tournament sponsored by the American Bowling Congress in conjunction with the Conference of Student Unions and the Ameri can Machine and Foundry Co, The intercollegiate match, sched uled for May 2, will bring entries from Oklahoma State, University of Arkansas, and 10 other schools to the campus, said Butler. The ABC matches will be on a district level, with the district winners to meet in the national tournament in St. Louis, Mo. The Aggies will go to the Texas state tournament trying to im prove on last year’s eighth place finish in the Class B division. “This year’s membership is the largest we have ever had and con sists of the best bowlers since the beginning of the club. I have definite hopes that our team will go to the ABC national playoffs,” said Butler. The club defeated Kansas Uni versity and Oklahoma State Uni versity in a triangular tournament earlier. They downed 1,068 pins, a new record for the club. BOXERS’ NOTICE Wednesday, Jan. 14, is the date set for the weigh-in for the Golden Gloves matches to be held in Temple.

Fresh As When New- CAMPUS CLEANERS Baylor, a team that hadn’t been counted as a contender in the Southwest Conference race, rose to greatness Saturday night in Waco when it throttled the Aggie quintet 56-49 before a full house of partisan spectators. The first half was a hotly con tested 20 minutes that saw the Aggies score first and the lead change hands five times in the first seven minutes Of play. Then the Bears were able to break loose and go on a scoring spree that twice gave them 10-point leads. For the Aggies, living high off the hog during the holidays with the Southwest Conference Tourna ment crown tucked under their belts, the setback was their second in conference play. They have on ly one victory and that came in the first game of the new year against the SMU Mustangs. Bay lor now has the same 1-2 record. Paced by Bob Turner and Gene McCarley, Baylor set up a defen sive screen around the Cadets that ★ ★ ★ almost throttled their scoring at tack in the first half, limiting the Aggies to 22 points. Most of th credit goes to the fleet Turner who put the pressure on A&M’s high scoring Neil Swish er and held him to 11 points, his lowest of the season. Lanky Wayne Lawrence took charge of the scoring chores for the Farmers, ending up with 18 points for the .night, the game’s high scorer. With little more than five min utes remaining in the game, Bay lor went into a stall, padding their lead with sure shots as the des perate Cadets fouled in their at tempts to gain possession of the ball. It just wasn’t the Aggies’ night as they hit only 37.8 per cent of their shots from the floor and pulled down 36 rebounds. The Bears hit 41.8 per cent of their shots from the floor and captured 41 rebounds. Clem Labine, Los Angeles Dodg ers ^relief pitcher, is a clothing de signer in the off season. A&M MENS SiDP 103 MAIN — NORTH GATE AGGIE OWNED Ags Back in Race, Edge Hogs, 63 - 62 A&M got back into the South west Conference basketball race last night by squeezing past Ar kansas on the Razorhacks’ home court 63-62 in a hair-raiser that went right down to the wire. The Aggies, behind 32-40 at intermission, came back onto the hardwood with a regained confi dence as they held the Porkers to nine points in the first 12 minutes of the second period.i Captain Neil Swisher again paced the Cadets as he netted 21 points on seven field goals and seven free throws. Behind him were Jim McNichol with 16, and Wilmer Cox and Archie Carroll with 12 each. The fh-st few minutes of the contest saw the score see-saw back and forth. Arkansas then turned on the heat, spearheaded 5 by their leading scorer Clyde Rhoden, to take the commanding margin at the half. Rhoden mus tered 20 points. But the complexion of the game reversed as the second period opened. The Aggies narrowed the difference to three points at the midway point, and after a brief Arkansas flourish, went ahead 50-49. With 2:04 showing on the clock, the Aggies led 58-57, but forged ahead on McNkhol’s jump shot with 1:49 left. Arkansas missed its ensuing attempt after the mabch down court, with Swisher clearing the boards. The clock gleamed uso. A; ^ Carroll dropped in a lay-up to make it 62-57, but Pat Foster countered for the Hogs with 1:02 left. Score: 62-59. The Hogs intercepted an Aggie pass and made a free throw with :34 left. After an exchange of the ball with no scoring, Swisher calmly sank a free toss for a 3-point Ag gie margin. An Arkansas player missed two free throws after a foul, but a tip-in made the count 63-62 with :10 left. And that’s the way it ended. When the final buzzer sounded, four Aggies—Cox, Lawrence, Car- roll, and McNichol—all had four personal fouls against them. The victory left the Aggies with a 2-2 conference mark, and drop ped the Porkers to the same stand ing. BRING THIS AD SPECIAL FREE BRING THIS AD GREASE JOB WITH FILLUPS OF 10 GALS.
