Saturday’s game will be brought to tne Locality by KBTX-TV with Jerry Doggeit giving the play-by- play. Rossibiy a helping hand came to the Aggies this week wnen two top Kaicier centers were dropped from the roster because of poor grades. Pat Noakes and Harold nudgens, both 6-9, are out for the rest of the year. Noakes, junior from Fort Worth, has started most of Tech’s games and averaged 6 points per game for a season total of 90 points. He alternated with Hudgens, sopho more from Ballinger, who had a 3.1 average. Coach Polk Robison said he would probably shift James Wiley, who has started at center in Tech’s last two games, to forward and move Pod Hill, a 6-6 senior with a 17.3 average to the center spot. Despite the loss of two men, Tech should still prove them selves a dangerous opponent for the battle-scarred Ags. Tech owns the third best season record in the conference with a 10-5 mark for the year. And the impressive part of their statistical record is the points-per-game average. The Raiders have averaged 66.9 points per game to lead the conference m this department, topping the Aggies by about half a percentage point. However, in conference play, A&M has averaged 63.0 points per game while holding their opposi- uun to a 56.0 average. Teen has averaged 61.8 per game, while al lowing a 60.6 average in their five conference games. With the other conference head- knocking Saturday night, more than a third place might hinge on the Ag-Teeh tilt. League-leading Texas Christian, leading the con ference with a 4-1 mark, hosts the Southern Methodist Mustangs, de fending co-champions with a 2-2 record. Second place Baylor wall meet the Arkansas Razorbacks at Waco. Baylor is 4-2, while Arkan sas holds a 2-2 record. Only cellar-dwelling Rice and Texas are idle this weekend, and there could likely be a: drastic shakeup in conference standings if upsets continue to plague the sWC as they have thus far this season. Ags Drop Houston, 71-64, in Overtime s PORT SLANT By GAYLE McNUTT As the SWC basketball race nears the halfway mark the laitiiiul crystal ban reveais perhaps even a more murky picture man at tne beginning of conference piay. with eticn team naving irom eight to eieven games lert to piay, tne crown still otiongs to anyone.

The Aggies appear to be well on the way to one of the most successiui years ol basketball in tne History of A&M. umy tnrougn excellent coacmng, nign spirit ana team eiiort can a winning team be formea—ana even more uiiiicuit is Keeping that combination functioning once it is bunt, so tnat it puts form its greatest efiort when the cnips are aown. Ferhaps the greatest reason for A&M’s present record is the team eftort put forth this season. No one individual can be marked as outstanding. Neil Swisher lias attracted more notice than otners witn consistently good pertorm- ances, but when he has a baa night, there is someone tnere to mi tne gap. Coacn juob Rogers has found his winning combination and witn Keny Chapman to begin pounuing the hard wood against TCU next week, it may be just that extra power needed to land A&M on their first undisputed basketball throne since 1923 and the D. X. Bible era. WeTi just w r ait for the crystal ball to clear. The Texas Aggies went into a 5-minute overtime period “hot to trot” against the University of Houston Cougars Saturday night in Houston and came out with a 71-64 victox-y. . With five seconds to go in the reghlar game and the scoreboard redding 58-58, Neil Swisher missed the hoop by inches, throwing the game into overtime. Only a few seconds before had the Cougars’ Bryan Schisler tied the game with a gift shot from the line. The Aggies had been ahead since the clock showed one minute deep in the ball game. The victory marked , the Aggies’ 12th win in season play with only three losses. In a ’ game earlier this season, A&M’s Cagers dropped the Cou gars by a score of 57-45 in G. Rol- lie White Coliseum. Coach Bob Rogers’ Aggies ax-e riding on the best season recoi’d since 1951. Houston first heated the net with a free throw during the early sec onds of play, but never again got close to the fired-up Aggies from College Station, until the final 48 seconds of play. With Jim McNichol keeping the net warm with 20 points for the night, the Aggies built a 58.5 per cent accuracy figure. Following close behind McNichol were Wayne Lawrence with 19 points and Arch ie Carroll accumulating 18. Sophomore Gary Phillips, Cou gar foi'ward who was hot in the second half, took high point hon ors for the night with 21 precious points.
