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).

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?,

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

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.

at night, a track meet between Rice, Southern Methodist

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.
