Cadets Seeks Third Win In Coliseum At 8 The Battalion Volume 59 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1960 Chairman Tom Reid ‘as well as any’ Citizens Roll Pictured OKLAHOMA STA TE NEXT Cadets Face Centenary By JOE CALLICOATTE For the second time this week, A&M’s basketball team will make its appearance on the hardwoods of G. Rollie White Coliseum as they meet the Centenary College Gentlemen of Shreveport, La. Centenary’s Gents should be fa-"t miliar faces to most of the Cadet squad, since A&M broke their all- time scoring record against them last year. At the time A&M was beginning a hot streak that net ted them a 95-38 victory in the season opener. A&M is in top physical shape for tonight’s game with the whole team beginning to sharpen up their pace. Earlier this week the Cadets beat the University of Houston, 66-61, and raised their statistical standards a bit. Field Slump Shooting from the field has been in a slump this season as the Aggies only averaged 29.8 per cent of their shots, but saw a slight increase with 37.1 against Hous ton. However, at this stage of the game last year, the Ags were hitting in the 40 per cent ranks regularly. Carroll Broussard is still the leading scorer for A&M with his 18.3 average. The Stanley twins are in a tight battle for second place as Don hit 20 points against Houston to boost his average to 12.4 while brother Pat lagged a little behind against the Cougars and tossed in only five for a 10.3 average. Top Rebounder Don Stanley is the team’s top rebounder with 33, followed by Broussard with 31. Jerry Wind ham, the only soph in the starting lineup, has grabbed 27 off the boards to hold down a third place spot. Free throws have made a big difference in Aggie scoring so far this season. Against Houston the Cadets 20-29 to make the total for three games 66 and adds up to a .667. A&M will take a short break af ter tonight’s game and won’t play again until next Thursday night when they meet Oklahoma State University in the Houston Tourna ment. The Aggie Fish will open their 1960-61 season in a preliminary game tonight that starts at 6. The varsity contest will begin at 8.
