I -J The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas Wednesday, February 11,1959 PAGES Underdog Aggies Face T C U In Top SWC Battle Tonight Up and Over Archie Carroll, A&M’s leading scorer in the victory over Baylor Saturday, is boxed in by the entire Bruin quintet. Nonetheless, Carroll dunked his famous jump shot, despite the protest of the Bears’ Gene McCarley (23), Jerry Walsh (43) and Bob Turner (arm upstretched). By BOB WEEKLEY Battalion Sports Editor Texas Christian’s pace-setting basketball team will seek its sixth straight Southwest Conference vic tory as it hosts a stubborn Aggie five tonight in the Public Schools Gymnasium at Fort Worth. The Horned Frogs will carry a 7-1 won-lost conference warfare mark into the contest, with the lone loss administered by the Tex as Tech Red Raiders. A&M’s hot- and-cold-running team brings a 4-4 conference record into the ■game. H. E. Kirchner, the 6-10 TCU postman, continues to pour in the points with his hooks and tip-ins to lead the scoring in both con ference and season play with 339 points. The lofty Frog also leads the conference in rebounds. Ron Stevenson, all-SWC last season and a good bet to repeat this season, is next in scoring with 232 points. Ken Brunson, 6-3 guard, is also enjoying a good sea son and his long one-handers make it tough on opponents to sag their defense on the Stevenson-Kirchner tandem-post offense. Ken King of Avoca and Derrill Nippert of Childress will join the three seniors in the all-veteran lineup. Don Williams, Bobby Ty ler and Jerry Cobb could also see quick duty. Coach Bob Rogers’ crippled Ca dets will be out to pull their sec ond win of the season over the favored Frogs. A&M defeated TCU in the SWC tourney by the score of 61-45, while TCU visited the Farmers in College Station in SWC play and won 76-64. The Aggies will again be without the services of 6-7 Wayne Law rence, out for the season with a broken foot. Speedy Jack Collier is slated to start the contest in his place. Collier has scored 19 points in five games for a 3.8 points per game average. He has roped in 13 rebounds, nine of them against Baylor Saturday. Kelly Chapman has again been placed on the doubtful list for the TCU game. He has not worked out in practice sessions since the Baylor game because of an injury to his foot. Archie Carroll currently holds the scoring lead for the Aggie?, INTRAMURALS Sports in Brief Class B bowling came to a close last week with A Transportation bowling a 1,411-pin team score in the last round to take the crown. The overall team score averaged 157 pins-per-line per man, each of the three men bowling three lines. The high man, Anthony Servello, bowled a 177 pin-per-line average. B Armor rated second with a 1,353 total score. Jimmy Eicken- loff led this group with a 468 se ries. B-AAA followed them by virtue of a 1,328 record. A Ord nance was next with a 1,261 total. The Class A horseshoe race was also settled yesterday. Squadron 13 took the title in the final game from, A Infantry, winning all three matches. Up to the time of the finals, ihe champions had taken on Squad ron 12 and A Ordnance in the quar ter- and semifinal rounds. They took all three matches, 21-8, 21-13 and 23-11. The consolation win ners had beaten A Vets and A Chemical in their bid for the cham- In haste or leisure . . . HOTARD’S Cafeteria pionship. With only one sport left, the Class A standings show Squadron 17 still leading with 515 points. At a rather distant second is A Ord nance with 465 points. Thirteen teams in the Class A group do not have their minimum points for participation. White Band has only 351% of a minimum of 400. A Armor has only 292%. C Armor has 390, A Engineers has 392, B Engineers has 305, Squad ron 6 has 346, Squadron 12 has 365, Squadron 19 has 280, Squad ron 20 has 345 and Squadron 21 has 336. In the Class B leagues, the situ ation is not much better. Twelve teams have failed to meet the re quirement. White Band again is deficient, having 290 points out of 350. A Armor is in the same shape, having 310 overall. C Engineers has 346, A-AAA has 341, A Ath letics 150, Squadron 3 has 307, Squadron 12 has 312, Squadron 15 posts 306, Squadron 20 has 301, Squadron 21 has 315 and Squadron 22 has 110. Standings in Class B show A Infantry on* top with 416 points, followed by Squadron 17, A Ord nance and A Transportation in that order. # *he gahg’s all-there!/ Freshm* c<K,ligSSf;16V3iIetciilf,aM-' nounced that all freshman baseball candidates meet Monday at 3 p. m. in DeWare Fieldhouse.

I', ★ ★ ★ Spring training for A&M gridders will begin March 31 with two intrasquad games scheduled for April 18 and 25. The A&M Athletic Department will host top high school athletes from all over the state on Spring Sports Day, sche duled April 18. Students that day will be treated to the intrasquad game at night, a track meet between Rice, Southern Methodist and the Ags in the morning and afternoon and a freshman baseball game between the Frosh nine and the Rice Owlets that afternoon. ★ ★ ★ Coach Bob Rogers, the frequently genial basketball coach, is rapidly getting fame as the hardluck boss of the circuit. ->! Last Saturday Wayne Lawrence, the 6-8 scoring and rebounding ace, had his foot set in a cast. The injury, first believed to be but a badly bruised instep, will take him out for the season. Jumping-jack Kelly Chapman turned up for his first conference game of the season with a badly bruised toe. It’s still sore. Then there was Neil Swisher and his charley horse. Chapman and Swisher are back, although Chapman is not at top speed. ★ ★ ★ Troubles also spread to the gridiron and Coach Jim Myers. Six freshman football players—Woody Meyers, Robbie Fleet, Dennis Gaubitiz, Ray Wilkins, Bobby Scott and Fred Gibson—were lost due to scholastic inefficiency or trans- fering. Myers did say that all varsity performers came through fine as far as grades are concerned. , Larry Broaddus, in eligible Caldwell fullback, will be back in the fold, having made up his scholastic work. In addition to Broaddus, Tom Bailey, imitating traits of Ag All-SWC end John Tracey by hailing from Philadel phia and being a veteran of service football, enrolled as a midterm freshman. / dunking 121 points in eight con ference games for a 15.1 point per game average. Carroll also leads the team in rebounds with 54 to his credit. The injured Lawrence has 58. Reliable Neil Swisher should be back at full speed for this contest. Swisher, previously injured with a severe charley horse, is second in team scoring with an average of 14.7 points per game. Defensive ace Wilmer Cox will be at full steam in his guard posi tion. Cox is averaging nine points per game and is tied for third in rebounding with Swisher, each hav ing 41 to their credit. Big Jim McNichol rounds out the starting five for the Cadets. Mc Nichol has scored 51 points in SWC play aad pulled down 38 rebounds. The 6-5 redhead has been very suc cessful in holding Kirchner’s scor ing and rebounding down in the two times the Aggies have faced the Frogs this season. In the preliminary contest the A&M Frosh will face the Polly- wogs. Coach Shelby Metcalf’s Fish downed the TCU five 78-64 in an earlier contest. Sharpshooting Carroll Broussard leads the Fish scoring with 168 points in nine games, an. average of 18.6.
