Curtain Falls, Ags Lose, 70-66
By BOB WEEKLEY
Battalion Sports Editor
Coach Bob Rogers’ hungry bas
ketball team got only scraps of
hay last night from the SMU Mus
tangs as the thoroughbreds raced
their way to a 70-66 victory in
White Coliseum.
The win placed the Ponies right
behind the TCU Horned Frogs in
the final Southwest Conference
statistics with a 10-4 mark. Mean
while the Aggies w’ere back in that
familiar fifth place in a two way
tie with Arkansas. Both teams
have a 6-8 conference record.
SMU hit a torrid pace from the
floor, outgunning the Cadets in the
first half 50 per cent to 28.6. They
finished the game with a tough
45.9 percent from the floor while
the Aggies came up in the world
a bit with a final 33.8.
Archie Carroll finished his col
legiate career at A&M by breaking
two records last night. Carroll
scored 20 points to lead the scor
ing for the night, enough to give
him a conference total of 220
points, 10 more than the old record
set in 1954 by James Addison of
210. Carroll also broke the mark
for the most field goals in one sea
son set by Buddy Davis in 195£ by
bringing his season total to 142,
three more than Davis.
Sharpshooting Neil Swisher also
upped his new record of most
points in three seasons to 983
points, 31 more than the old one
set by Davis from 1950-52. Swisher
scored 11 points last night.
High point man for the Mus
tangs was forward Bob James with
16 points. Little Max Williams, a
5-10 guard, was runnenip for the
Ponies with 15 points.

INTRAMURALS
The Army and Composite hogged
the scoring columns yesterday in
Class A volleyball, but the Air
Force came back in the tennis
matches to take all the victories
but one. There were only Air
Force teams playing.
A Infantry took their volleyball
game vjith Squadron 1, winning
two of the three games. Their Bat
talion-mates, B Company, downed
C Engineers, winning all three
games. A Composite dropped
Squadron 8, 2-0 in their game, and
C Company followed up with a
similar victory over Squadron 9.
In Class C volleyball, Walton
dropped Allen two games straight,
and Milner got two of three from
Puryear.
Squadron 7 'won all three
matches in Class A tennis, two of
the "matches being lost by Squad
ron 21 on forfeits. Squadron 16
won two from Squadron 11 in
League H. Squadron 18 downed
Squadron 3, 2-1, one of these also
being a forfeit.
Squadron 19 automatically won
two matches from Squadron 4, who
had only three men to show for
the meet. In a real game, how
ever, in which all teams were pres
ent, Squadron 20 downed Squadron
5, 2-1 in League C. A Vets took
Squadron -13 on a win and a for
feited match.

toss.
A&M managed to tie the score
two more times in the next two
minutes before SMU moved ahead
by two points. The Aggies tied
the score once again, 10-all, and
then it was all SMU for the re
maining 14 minutes as they racked
up ten-point leads before the Far
mers narrowed the score to seven
points just before the half ended.
Carroll led the Aggie scoring
that period with 10 points followed
closely by big Jim McNichol with
eight. James also scored 10 points
for the Mustangs. About the only
glory the Aggies got out of the
first half was outrebounding the
Ponies, 31-18.
SMU came out strong in the sec
ond half and scored five field goals
while the Aggies were sinking four
of five free throws in the same
time period.
With little more than seven min

Even Euclid had to admit.,
Its what's up front
that counts
Euclid proved that a straight
line is the shortest distance
between two points. And if
you’ll walk a straight line to the
nearest pack of Winstons, you’ll
find it the shortest distance to
a really enjoyable smoke. It’s
the tobacco up front that makes
the difference and that’s where
Winston packs its own exclusive
Filter-Blend—a special selection
of light, mild tobacco, specially
processed for filter smoking.
You’ll find Filter-Blend gives
Winston a flavor without paral
lel. In fact, it’s axiomatic that...
