- Pago 4 College Station, Texas Wednesday, Decembei' 7, 1GC0 THE BATTALION A&M Almost Fizzled In 66-61 UofH Win A slow start fizzled to a slower finish as the A&M Cagers opened their home season last night by edging the University of Houston Cougars, 66-61, in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Almost four minutes had been used up in the game before Wayne Annett finally broke the scoring from the field with a long push shot that made the score 4-2 in the Aggies’ favor. All the prev ious scoring had been from the free throw line. First Field Goal From this first counter from the field, A&M took command and was never seriously threatened until the closing minute of play when Houston’s Jim Lemmon popped through a jump shot with 24 sec onds left and made the score 63-59 in favor of the Cadets. The Aggies gained their largest margin as the first half ended and the second began. With a little over a minute and a half gone in the second half A&M enjoyed a comfortable 16-point advantage that stood almost as strong until the last four minutes of play. Two 20-Pointers Bon Stanley and Carroll Brous sard had the sharpest eyes on the floor as they both netted 20 points while Annett and Houston’s Gary Phillips had 13 each. For the second game in a row, A&M hit a high percentage from the free throw line. This differ ence made the difference last night as they hit 20-29 and Houston only had 13-25. Last week the Aggies made 30 free tosses against Kan sas State which was almost half home court as they made 37.1 per- Besides tying for high 1 point man, Don Stanley snagged 13 re bounds to lead in that category. He was followed by sophomore Jerry Windham with 11. Two Fouled Out In the contest that looked much like a miner free-for-all at times, personal fouls took a toll of two. Gary Phillips, Houston’s only All- Americna in history, went out with 9:09 left in the game and Pat Stanley collected his fifth foul with 5:35 left. Phillips hadn’t fouled out of a game in two years until this season when the Coug- are opened against North Texas last week, but now he has done it | twice in a row. Team Percentage Raised As a team, the Aggies raised their shooting percentage on their lie White. cent compared to a previous aver age of 29.8. Houston’s average for last night’s game was 37.5 per cent. A&M’s season record now stands at two wins and one lost. In their next outing on Friday night the Aggies will meet Centenary Col- legt of Shreveport, La., in G.

One guess is about as valid as the next fellow’s, but here are a few contributing factors that could or could not decide the Southwest Conference basketball championship. Last year’s champion, Texas, will be a strong contender again this year, mainly due to experience and five men who soar over 6-7. Also seven lettermen are returning. The three dependable big men for Texas are A1 Almanza (6-8); Jimmy Brown (6-8); and Wayne Clark (6-11). Hounding the Longhorns will be A&M and Arkansas. The Aggies have four starters back with the top man being Carroll Broussard. The big questions for A&M is how well Jerry Windham will perform at his position and, will Lewis Qualls make the grade this season? Arkansas won’t have much problem in fielding a lofty team since they have seven men over 6-5. The main men to watch are Clyde Rhoden, Pat Foster, John Blasingame and Alan Morrison. Although it looks like the “big boy” will come from one of these three teams, the rest of the SWC teams are expected to make things pretty tough on the pre-season “on paper” champs. Southern Methodist may be the darkhorse of the con ference with their reliable Steve Strange and Jan Loudermilk who stand 6-7 and 6-6 respectively. David Siegmund, a 6-7 soph, could provide a lot of assistance for his “big brothers.” So here’s the way it looks from here: 1. Texas University 2. Texas A&M 3. Arkansas University 4. Southern Methodist 5. Texas Christian 6. Texas Tech 7. Baylor University 8. Rice University r Men who face wind and weather" choose the protection ol... AFTER SHAVE LOTION Skin protection, that is.
