Pa^c 1 4 CoIIpw Stniion, Texas Friday, .Tannary 15, 1051 THE BATTALION THOSE LAST 15 SECONDS Kilgore Falls To Late-Striking Fish The Aggie Fish basketball team scored their third win of the sea son in Kilgore last night as they defeated the Kilgore College Ran gers, 66-65. Kilgore got the jump on the Fish in the opening minutes of play and were ahead by eight points midway through the first half. However, the Fish came back to make up the difference, and a little extra, as the half time score was 40-36. Even Second Half The game went nip and tuck all during the second period of play and with only 15 seconds left, Kilgore was ahead, 65-64. This is when the Fish’s Bill Rob- inett stepped in to steal the ball from the Rangers and dribbled the length of the court and missed a layup while heavily guarded. But Bennie Lennox was at the right place at the right time to tip in the winning two points. Lennox High These last two vital counters boosted Lennox’s scoring to 27 for the night and made him high point man for the game. Gerald Woodward of the Ran gers netted 24 points for second place honors while teammate Ben nie Johnson had 16. Much Improved Coach Shelby Metcalf said the freshmen were much sharper than last Saturday night as they fell to the Baylor Cubs in Waco. He added that the biggest difference was the rebounding of Robinette who also had 15 points. The Fish will not play a game in Lubbock tonight, but will travel to Austin with the Varsity Mon day night for a match with the Texas freshmen.

Carting home triumphs in both encounters, the Cato could leave the two runner-up aggregations with two blet ishes on their slate, while keeping theirs intact. True, none of the schools are out of the title picture ye; but the Red Raiders and the Steers currently pose the 111® formidable threats. Both Tech and Texas have had tk a troubles over the season, each looking erratic at times, whi ' playing superb basketball at other times. On the other hand, the Aggies boast the most impresi record in the Conference. And, what’s more, their tk losses have come from nationally ranked Kansas State It tl versity, Oklahoma State University and the University M m€ Oklahoma. "iiei'ec But before we get carried away with the attributes p. > of the Aggie basketball fortunes, let’s look back at themiBapt fortunes of last year. A similar situation existed at ttidol. stage as the Cadets wearing two hats. Not only were tb Com riding at the top of the SWC, but they were holding doi ahno the No. 7 post in the national rankings. 1 Th Still, the Aggies slowed down. They cooled off.
