V/v • Coach Bob Rogers’ Cadets, tied with Texas Tech for third place in the SWC race, downed the Cougars 57-45 early in the season but expect a tougher contest this week in Cougarland. A&M journeys to Lubbock on Jan. 31 to resume conference ac tion. It’ll he an afternoon regional telecast game with Texas Tech. Then the Ags return home Feb. 3 to entertain league-leading TCU in Kelly Chapman’s A&M debut. The Tyler Junior College transfer will play the final eight games. A&M and Tech currently stand 3-2 in league play, a full game back of the Frogs (4-1) and a half-game back of Baylor (4-2). SMU and Arkansas, each 2-2, are tied for fifth while Rice is 1-4 and Texas 1-5. The Aggies defeated Arkansas and Texas in last weeks action after dropping two in a row to Rice and Baylor. A&M has won two of three SWC road games and eight of 10 for the year. In fact, the conference has played 20 games going into the exam lull and 10 of them have been won by the visiting club. Through 14 games, with an 11-3 record, the Aggies are hitting on 43.9 per cent of their field goal tries. Rogers maintains that a winning team must hit 40 per cent. Capt. Neil Swisher tops the Ag gies with a 52.5 mark, followed by Wayne Lawrence with 44; Archie Carroll with 42.9; Wilmer Cox with 39.9 and Jim McNichol with 39.4. A&M foes have hit 36.9. “Ten years ago,” Rogers says, “the theory was 35 per cent but the present-day players are shoot ing so much better the percentage has jumped five points.” Swisher is the top scorer for A&M with 232 points and a 16.5 average. Carroll is next with 189 followed by Lawrence with 180, Cox, 138, and McNichol, 84. The players are ranked in the same order in conference scoring after five games. Swisher has 84, Carroll 75, Lawi'ence 64, Cox 40 and McNichol 25. With Lawrence leading the way the Aggies are out-rebounding their opponents for the season, 576 to 548, and in SWC play, 206 to 183. Lawrence has 121 grabs to 97 for Carroll. Lawrence also leads in conference play board- woi’k with 45. md n nnsrc A column of incidental intelligence by JOCkCti brand "HAIL FELLOW WELL MET" We consider this description a compliment today, but it didn't start out that way at all.

"WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING" Bible scholars know that this expression wasn't born with Red Riding Hood. It's from Matthew, VII, 15: "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but in~ wjardly they ore ravening wolves." "MARY HAD A UTTLE LAMB" If you think this familiar poem is authentic Mother Goose, think again. Nobody knows who wrote Mother Goose, but your librarian will tell you that Sarah Josepha Hale composed the stanzas about Mary and her academic lamb way back in 1830. ; Matt Lair Kentucky Line Coach Named Ag Assistant Matt Lair, defensive line coach at Kentucky the past five years, has been named assistant foot ball coach at Texas A&M. The 34-year-old Lair has devel oped some outstanding linemen at Kentucky, the latest being Lou Michaels, All-America star of 1957 who teamed with Charley Krueger of A&M in helping the College All-Stars down the Detroit Lions last August. Coach Jim Myers, in announc ing Lair’s appointment, cited the new coach’s “experience and ag gressiveness which will be a real fine asset to our staff.” Lair has been an assistant to Blanton Collier at Kentucky since 1953. Previously he had high school coaching experience at Selma, Ala., Louisville, Ky., and Montgomery, Aha. He played four years at Ken tucky, graduating in 1948. He was a blocking back under Ah Kirwan in 1941 and 1942 and after serv ing as a B-17 gunner-in-I-taly-dur- ing WW II, returned as a guard on Paul Bryant’s 1946 and 1947 Kentucky teams. He holds a mas ter’s degree from Kentucky. Lair replaces John Michels who has returned to the Canada pro ranks as line coach for the Winne- peg Blue Bombers.
