Most of the first practice ses sion was spent in running and genei’al conditioning drills fol- ■msm&i ■* ' w - Chandler in Action Coach Tom Chandler, Aggie baseball mentor, to the Cadet infield.

He was hitting grounders Broussard Closing tcoriug Margin Carroll Broussard, who is pres ently 11 points behind leading Southwest Conference scorer, Jay Arnette of Texas, will have his chance to pull into first place as individual top scorer tonight when the Aggies meet the Longhorns in Austin. Brousserd is presently hitting 48 per cent from the floor and has averaged 18.2 points per game. He has 123 rebounds to his credit and boasts a 77.6 per cent on charity tosses. The Aggies, who have been con sidered the top defensive team of the conference, hold a 73.8 aver age score per game over their op ponents’ 56.6, and have recently exploded with a 94-53 win over Rice and an 89-59 win over Texas Tech. A constant dominance of the backboards by Pat and Don Stan- lowed by several pepper games. Last year Chandler guided the Aggies to a championship in his first season at Aggieland but lost two heart-breakers to Arizona in the NCAA district playoff. Eight lettermen off that club return including six regulars but nine are gone including four ail- conference stars—Catcher Gary Herrington, Shortstop Ralph Plumlee and pitching aces Wayne Schaper and Percy Sanderson. Only Herrington and Schaper completed their eligibility. Plum lee was signed to a huge bonus contract by the World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers while San derson, along with Pitcher Larry Ayres of Paris, failed to make th'eir grades. Other losses include Windel Reed, Lloyd Stone, Donnie Hullum and Bo Paradowski. Chandler was expecting some help on the mound from Joe Brooks Thompson, but it was learned today that he too was lacking in grades. The mound staff now consists of Olan Jordon and, David Pitcock, both junior college transfers; Gary Priddy from the freshman team and Don Costlow, a transfer from Sam Houston State. Last year Priddy, a lefthander, posted a 5-1 record for the Fish. The Fish team turned out 35 strong yesterday and will be coached by Gary Herrington until Coach Shelby Metcalf finishes his basketball chores. Oklahoma is making a sizeable contribution to the Fish with three boys out for the team. Jack and Ed Singley, twins, and Bill Puckett, all from Oklahoma City, were on their home state’s All- State team. One twin is an infielder and the other is a pitcher. Puckett is a catcher. Fort Worth’s contribution to the freshmen are Jerry Carter who PRACTICE TEACHERS WHITE BUCK SHOES FOR $4.95 WHILE THEY LAST. LOUPOT'S plays infield and Roy Hall, an outfielder. Jerry Warren, a Galveston pitcher, and Billy Musmuche, a Houston infielder, are considered top prospects. Chandler said that today’s prac tice would follow the same pattern as yerterday’s and batting practice would start later in the week. He said that in case of bad weather the team would move in side to take a look at films of last year’s World Series games. Finest Early American Maple KRAFT HOMESTEAD HOUSE (Next to Miller’s) 3820 Texas Ave. Tigers End Season Friday By RUSSELL BROWN CHS Correspondent The A&M Consolidated Tigers fell victim to old man Winter Fri day as the Tigers were “snow bound” and unable to journey to Cy-Fair for an encounter with the Cy-Fair Bobcats in an important District 21-AA tilt. Although snow was at a mini mum in Tigerland, roads were slick between NaVasota and Cy- Fair, -so the game was resched uled for Friday. Tuesday, the Bengals try to spoil the Humble Wildcats’ 21-AA slate in Tiger Gym, hoping to keep themselves in the mathematical race for top honors. Humble has racked up six wins without a blemish while the Bengals have won four, but have fallen to the Wildcats and the Navasota Rat tlers. The contest will feature a fore seen scoring battle between the Tigers’ ace, Bruce Thompson and Humble’s Hershel Archer. Both are nominees from 21-AA to the All-State squad. Thompson is a 6-2 high post man in Coach Jack Churchill’s tandem-post offense while Ai-cher is a jumping jack guard, standing 6-0. Churchill will prpbably go with a starting five consisting of Thompson at high post, Virden Smith at low post, Kelly Parker and Condy Pugh at forwards and P. D. Gandy at guard. The Wildcats, who bounced the Tigers 47-33 in their earlier meet ing, will counter with Archer, Larry Brown, Joey Brown, Lloyd Long and Roy Smith. In the prelim, the Tiger “B” squad will seek revenge of a 36-24 defeat at the hands of the ’Cats, with a five of Larry Randolph, Bob Adams, Fred Brison, Danny Gar ner and Russell Welch. Friday’s tilt with Cy-Fair will close out the basketball season for the Tigers with baseball be ginning its action immediately af ter. ley, Kelly Chapman, Wayne Law rence and Wayne Annett has cer tainly helped in piling up these large scores. The team has a to tal of 369 rebounds to their op ponents’ 328 in conference play and an 856-711 rebound lead in season play. The Aggie cagers have attempt ed 517 shots from the floor and have hit 222 for a 42.9 percentage. They hold a 73.7 percentage lead over their opponents’ 60.9 in con ference play, and a 68.3-64.8 per centage lead in season play in free throw shooting. The Ags go into tonight’s game with a 7-1 won-lost conference record and a 16-2 won-lost record for season play. One loss came in conference play with SMU and the other in season play against Santa Clara.
