Ags Face Tough Competition This Week Against TU, SMU The rafters in G. Rollie White Coliseum on the Texas A&M cam pus should get their sternest test in six years this week when the unbeaten Aggie cagers take on two of the top teams in the South west Conference. Bob Rogers’ Aggies entertain Southern Methodist Tuesday night and the Texas Longhorns Friday night in two games that may go a long way in determining the SWC champion. The Aggie freshmen play pre liminaries in both games. The Fish, with a 3-2 record, meet Kil gore Junior College at 6 p.m. Tues day prior to the varsity clash with SMU and then host the Texas Shorthorns Friday—also at 6 o’ clock. Completed in March of 1954 too late for ' that cage season, the White Coliseum never has been filled to 8,500 capacity in six bas ketball seasons. Largest crowds have been 6,000 plus affairs—one each with Texas, Rice and Baylor. But when Doc Hayes and his smooth Mustangs come into Col lege Station Tuesday for a re match of last month’s conference tournament finals a jammed house should witness the proceedings. A&M nipped the Ponies, 58-55 Dec. 30 to repeat as tourney champs in Houston. Thus far this season the Aggies are 10 and zero—their finest in 40 years and won the first two league tests against Baylor and TCU. SMU was edged two points b^ Texas in Austin, then won over Texas Tech in Dallas Saturday. The Aggies and Mustangs have had some rip-roaring affairs since Rogers left East Texas in June, 1957 to try his hand at big-time basketball. There was the famous goal tending incident two years ago when A&M won 43-42 on a last- second ruling by the official. That was Rogers’ first year at A&M and the upset ended SMU’s 44-game home winning streak. A&M won both league games that season. Last year the Aggies edged SMU in Dallas by two points on Wayne Lawrence’s looping jump shot from the corner with three seconds remaining but the Mus tangs won in Aggieland in the fi nal game^of the season last March. That game marked the end of a brilliant but short-lived career of Bobby James, SMU’s great junior all-conference player who died in a tragic fire at his Ruston, La., home four nights later. In the finals.of the pre-season SWC meet at Houston week before last, both teams blew nine-point leads—A&M in the first half and SMU in the second period. SMU led the Aggies 51-42 with 9:16 re maining, then saw the Cadets out- A FRIENDLY REMINDER All Loans And lOU’s Are Now Payable At Lou’s. Pay Now score them to the gun, 16 to 4. Carroll Broussard and Wayne Lawrence led the Aggies with 45 points between them. It was a cool sophomore, Broussard, tour ney’s most valuable player, who stepped to the free throw line with 47 seconds remaining to tie the score, then hit a 25-foot jump shot with 13 seconds to ■ give the Aggies their victory.. After 10 games the Aggies are one of four unbeaten teams in the nation. Broussard is the top scor er for A&M with an 18.2 average. Lawrence is next with an 11.4 mark and is tops in rebounds with 85. A&M has an offensive aver age of 72.9 points per game to 53.2 for the opposition. PAGE 4 SWC CAGE CHART SEASON STANDINGS Team Texas A&M Texas SMU Arkansas Texas Tech .

The hustling Christians led the heavily favored Cadets, 34-32, at the end of the first half, and at one time during that time period had upped their lead to a nine point margin, before the A&M guns, led by Sophomore Carroll play in the final half held TCU to a 36.1 percentage. TCU kept their rebound edge, 45-41. The victory was the Aggies’ first in a decade in Fort Worth against TCU. Their last win there was in 1950. Wogs Down Frosh TCU’s Wogs had earlier at tempted to give their varsity big brothers a lesson in winning, tak ing the first game of the night from the A&M Fish, 53-47. The Aggie Frosh were playing without the services of their Tuesday, January 12, 1960 JHl; BATTALION Speaking of Size The smallest player on the A&M team, 5-11 Charlie Minor, doesn’t have much in common with 7-0 Lewis Qualls, except they both play a top brand of basketball for the A&M Fish. Minor is second in Frosh scoring - with a 14.7 point per game average, while Qualls is the leading rebounder with 48 to his credit. Qualls is third in scoring with a 11.8 point per game average.

Broussard Tops Scoring Broussard, the top scorer on the A&M bounce-ball team, finished the game with 21 points, to take high scoring honors and keep his 18 point plus per game scoring average. Stanley had his second big night of the new year, scor ing 14 and raised his average to an 8.4 point per game output. The big difference in the first half was rebounding, with the in spired Frogs picking off 25 re bounds fi'om the boards to a mea ger 17 for the Cadets. Both teams were close in shooting averages, A&M hitting 43.3 per cent of their shots from the floor while TCU was sinking 42.4 per cent of their efforts.
