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.
