His first team at Aggieland, the 1957-58 squad, posted an 11-13 sea son record, but upset the league leader in three consecutive games. Last year his Aggies wound up the season with a 15-9 mark, and won the Southwest Conference Tourna ment, the first in A&M’s history. This year the experts are billing his team as one of the top three squads in the conference, which covers a lot more ground in actu ality than just the Southwest. His key to success has been the brand of ball the old pro, Hank Iba, taught at Oklahoma State Univer sity, and a brand of recruiting that has the other coaches in the con ference going around with hungry loqks in their eye. Last year, his first to do any real recruiting in the SWC, Rog ers came up with Carroll Brous sard and John Keller, plus a couple of other top cagers who soon de parted for other grazing grounds. This year he signed the top school boy prize in this part of the coun try, Lewis Qualls. y But more than that, he has raid ed the junior colleges around the state to come up with a group of the more outstanding cagers in the Southwest. Now whether or not the Aggies will be able to cop the champion ship this year is a question that only time can tell, but Rogers and his assistant, Shelby Metcalf, can Four (4) Day Color Developing A&M PHOTO SHOP v - r '>A i /cj, COACH :A “I don’t want to make a prediction—but our team does have more height this year.” ATTENTION FACULTY We have recently been informed, by our supplier of Rental Academic Regalia, of a price increase in their rental charges.

There’s been more than just a few records broken since Rogers first hung his hat in the A&M ath letic department, and more are go ing to be broken while he’s here. Last year Neil Swisher set a new record of most points scored in three years of varsity basketball, and Archie Carroll racked up a new mark of most points in one season. Tuesday night two more records were set by a Rogers-coached team at A&M, that of most points scored in one game, and the biggest point spread between two teams in one game. The first mark broke one set by a Rogers team last year against the University of Houston. Without any real tall men in the conference this year, men of such caliber as TCU’s H. E. Kirch- ner and Rice’s Tom Robitaille, the conference should settle down to a race between good “middle” sized irfen and “quick" average size ath letes. In this case the size should range from 6-7 on down to SMU’s xVIax Williams’ 5-10. The Aggies have one outstanding “middle” sized man in senior Wayne Lawrence, who should be ready for an outstanding year if ne can shake the injuries that have ougged him for the past couple of seasons. Just a step behind Law rence in size, but strong on shoot ing ability, is 6-5 Carroll Brous sard, the top sophomore in the con ference. Add to this list four, count ’em, four junior college all-Americans and you have an impressive basket ball team. . .at least on paper.. The four all-Americans are Pat and Don Stanley, Wayne Annett and Kelly Chapman, the Kentucky jackrabbit.
