Bears Trip Farmers,
56-49, in SWC Play
“I wonder what would have happened to us if we had won the basketball game?”
s
PORT SLANT
By BOB WEEKLEY
S
Baylor students proved themselves Saturday "night to
be about as poor sports when winning as when losing. -
The Bears, rated fifth in the 1958 Southwest Conference
sportsmanship pool; repeated their 1957 incident Saturday
in Waco when they cursed and taunted their Aggie visitors
after the basketball game with A&M which they won, 56-49.
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.

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.

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.

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.
