r
Farmers Challenge League Leading
Longhorns in Comeback Trail Contest
Their shoe laces tied by the SMU
Mustangs, the A&M basketball
team hopes to become swift of
foot and sure of eye tonight in
White Coliseum when they hit the
comeback trail against the real
gone Texas Longhorns.
Texas, boasting wins over SMU,
Arkansas and Rice, stand atop the
Southwest Conference heap with
an undefeated record, while the
Farmers have suffered one shel
lacking in three games, with the
Mustangs wielding the paint brush.
The Farmers are tied for second
in the league with Arkansas and
SMU.
The Ags have met and conquer
ed the Steers once this season,
downing the bovines by a 10 point
margin in the Southwest Confer
ence tourney, but that one win by
the Cadets over Texas could be
just an added incentive for the
Longhorns to win.
Coach Harold Bradley’s Texans
have three men in the top ten
scorers in SWC play, and Senior
Jay Arnette is the top scorer for
the conference in season play.
A&M has two men in the top ten,
but they reside in eighth and ninth
place in SWC play.
Add to that Texas’ towering ad
vantage in heighth, and you have
a team that the Aggies are going
to be hard pushed to beat. The
Steers have the tallest man in the
league in the person of Wayne
Clark, a 6-11 midget who is aver
aging in the neighborhood of nine
points per game.
Two other starters on the Long-i
horn team top G-5 or better, Bren-
ton Hughes at 6-5, and Jerry Gra
ham at 6-6. The tallest man on
the Aggie team is 6-7 Wayne Law
rence.
Hughes is averaging 14.7 points
per game, while . Shorty Donnie
Lasieter, a junior college transj
fer, is swishing the basket at a 17
point per game pace. Arnette, the
top shooter, has made 20 points
or better per game over the season
route.
Sophomore Carroll Broussard is
the top gun for the Fax-mers, rock-

His other athletic honors included
being named to the All-Conference

Soap became a part of his daily life long
before he understood its Use. He’s still more
concerned with its bubbles than its cleansing
properties—but he knows soap is mighty im
portant.
And no one ever thought of postponing his
bath until he was old enough to make decisions
for himself!
Wise parents never postpone a child’s religious
training. Long before he is able to reason, he
needs the character-building and guidance of the
Church. Christianity should become important to
him in his daily experience before its truths can
be fully grasped by his mind.
We are fortunate that our churches are
equipped to instill a vital Christian faith in the
youngest child. Fortunate is the boy or girl whose
parents begin his religious training in their
church’s Nursery or Beginners’ Department.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor on
earth for the building of character and
good citizenship. It is a storehouse of
spiritual values. Without a strong
Church, neither democracy nor civiliza
tion can survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should at
tend services regularly and support the
Church. They are: (1) For his own sake.
(2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the
sake of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself, which
needs his moral and material support.
Plan to go to church regularly and read
your Bible daily.
