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.

"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.
