Aggies Drop Cougars, 67 - 49;
Pat Stanley Holds Touted Phillips to 6 Points
What appeared to be a wild, rag
ing Cougar from Houston turned
out to be nothing more than a sas
sy cat as the Aggie basketball
team humbled the proud University
of Houston cagers, 67-49, for their
third straight season victory in
White Coliseum last night before
3,300 hooting fans.
Hero of the night was Pat Stan
ley, half of the Stanley twins’
bounce-ball act, who held the Cou
gars’ 6-3 Gary Phillips to a meager
six points, all of them via the
charity toss route.
Phillips has gone into the game
with a 26 points per game average,

on the Houston sharpshooter,
played the entire 40 minutes
guarding Phillips who saw his

Kentucky’s contribution to the
A&M basketball fortunes, Kelly
Chapman, proved to be something
of a hero himself, coming out in

The Aggies, playing on the the
ory that an opponent can’t score
unless he has the ball, held the
Cougars to only seven points with
more than 11 minutes gone in the
game, while building up an eight

Aggies Have Poorest Record in SWC
Since 1915, when basketball of
ficially began in the Southwest
Conference, the Farmers have
proved-to be the losingest team in
the league.
In over 44 years of basketball
the Aggies have won 233 while
losing 313, a .427 average.
The largest A&M conference
win streak was 1920-23 when the
Farmers won the SWC champion
ship outright four times in a row.
But, they had-to wait until 1951
before they won it again, and that
time it was a three way tie with
TCU and Texas.
Dick O’Neal of TCU has the most
individual records in the confer
ence, without A&M being able to
claim even one.
