The Battalion College Station (Brazos County). Texas Friday, February 27, 1959 PAGE 5 Aggies Try Rice Saturday in Houston i * < Wilmer Cox Cox, a junior college transfer from Kilgore, has fit into Coach Bob Rogers’ basketball scheme pretty well. A starter all season long, Cox has scored 124 points in conference play. ATCU Boasts 68.2 Mark By The Associated Press The proper balance for a South- vest Conference champion in bas ketball appears to be an average f 68.2 points per game on offense vhile giving up 62.4 on defense. I That’s the season record of Tex- Has Christian, which last week Jlclinched the championship. I In conference play, the Horned ^Trogs averaged 69.7 and allowed WB1.3. I The best defense was Southern ^■Methodist’s which allowed only K69.7, but the Mustangs were 6.3 ■boints per game behind TCU on 'offense. Statistics for the season show that H. E. Kirchner, the giant Tex as Christian center, leads in scor ing with 19 points per game in season play and 19.3 in conference warfare. He also leads in rebounds with 278 in 22 games and 161 in 12 conference affairs. I Wayne Clark of Texas has the Rest field goal average wuth .500, and Bobby Puryear of Texas leads in free throw percentage with .896. Both also are tops for the complete season with .494 and .889 per cent respectively. Rice’s rampaging Owls try to stay on the comeback trail to morrow night in Houston when they face Coach Bob Rogers’ hot- and-cold-running Aggies. The Owls have won two straight games, against Baylor and Texas Tech—and hope to make it three as they face the Aggies for the third time this season. A&M came out on top in the first outing in the South west Conference Tournament, but Rice charged back strong in their second meeting to down the Ca dets, 70-65. A&M will be placing their 6-6 conference mark up against a 4-8 record compiled by the Owls. Rice has the conference’s seventh lead ing scorer in lofty Tom Robitail- le, who is averaging better than 14 points per game. Robitaille’s 6-9 frame will pre sent something of a problem to the Aggies who can’t match his height but can make up the dif ference in the scoring department. Frosh Close Season Saturday with Owlets The five freshmen will try to cegain their winning touch in the Saturday opener at Houston when they tackle the Rice Owlets, the team that dropped the University of Texas Shorthorns for their lone •oss of the season. Two of the freshmen’s four de feats this year have come at the hands of the Shorthorns. Balanc ing up the ledger, the fish downed the Owlets earlier this year by a 64-51 score. Leading the Ags will be Carroll Broussard who paces the squad in field goals and free throw shoot ing. The 6-5 frosh averages 18.6 points per game and is hitting the bucket at a .497 clip. He is sec ond in rebounding with 104. Another starter for the young Aggies will be the towering Don Riggan. Riggan, at 6-10, is the tallest Cadet in A&M basketball history. Probably one of the most improved cagers on the team, Rig gan has pulled down 85 rebounds and scored 90 points. Leading- rebounder for the Farm ers is John Keller.

I The top six frosh golfers who will race the Houston freshmen are Dick Duble, 585; Johnny Johnson, 598; John Lively, 604; Dick Bell- mares, 612; Kerman Stroman, 622 and Fetters. » Qualification for both squads will continue all year.

Wide choice of colors, patterns Loupot's IT PAYS TO TRADE WITH LOU to his credit and has scored 75 points. Standing at 6-5, Keller’s main skill is on defense as he crowds the opponents away from the bucket and pulls down the ricochets. Second high scorer for A&M is Gary White with 165 points to his credit, good enough for a 15-point per game average. Filling out the scoring for the frosh is Riki Wag- horne with a 5'.3 average and Pat Clancy with a 6.6 mark. This will be the final game of the season for the freshman who have compiled a season record of seven wins and four losses under the coaching of Shelby Metcalf. Metcalf is in his first coaching year at A&M. Archie Carroll, the 6-6 senior from Redlands, averages 16 points per game for A&M while Neil Swisher is just a step behind with a 15.5 average. Robitaille has a lead in rebounding with 120 in conference play, good enough for fourth in the SWC while the Ag gies can’t place one in the top 10. Other leaders for the Rice five are seniors Gary Griffin and Jay Bowman’s Club Invite Ag Members Knox Walker and Ted Davich, heads of the Brazos Bowman Club, have invited anyone interested in the archery to join the club here at A&M. The organization .will be two years old in June and presently has 12 members. In the club’s two years of existence, it has acquired membership in the Texas Field Archery Assn, and the National Field Archery Assn. In the past, the club has entered various tournaments throughout the state. They plan to sponsor several tournaments to be held here in the spring. Fourteen targets have been set up near Easterwood Field. The targets art actual decoys with hay background. The group holds prac tice sessions on weekends. Mcllvain. Griffin is No. 2 in the field goal percentage leaders with a .481 average followed by Mc llvain with a .476. One other Owl, David Craig, is tied with Carroll for fi.th in shooting accuracy with a .467 average. Com paving the two teams as a whole Rice has averaged 61.5 points per game while the Cadets have been a little stronger at 62.2. The Aggie defense has limited their opponents to little more than 60 points per game while Rice has seen their opponents 62.4 points per game. There is one other Rice player who deserves more than just a passing mention. Dale Ball, the blond flash from Lubbock, has been a knife in the side of A&M all season with his lightening- ike breaks under the basket. The 6-0 Ball is called the fastest play er in the conference—something the A&M team can’t come close to matching. As far as conference standings go, a Farmer win or loss won’t have much effect. If the Cadets win this game and the Texas Lech Red Raiders lose their’s Sat- uruay at Waco it will throw the two teams into a tie for third with a 7-6 conference mark. - TCU has already sacked up the championship, but they could throw a crimp into SMU’s sail if they down the Mustangs in their Saturday battle. If they do A&M will battle it out Tuesday night with the Ponies in White Coliseum to see who will wind up the season in the second place shot—that is, if Tech al ready isn’t there. No wating . . .
