FROM THE
Sideili
r' ;

By Joe Callicoatte
G. Rollie White Coliseum will probably be packed to the
hilt tonight as Texas University comes over for their annual
affair.
It hasn’t been too many weeks since the Aggies took
their lumps from the TU team as well as the fans. Still
nearer in the past was the Southern Methodist clash that
turned out almost the same way in Dallas Tuesday night.
Anyone who witnessed either of these games probably
became enraged at the actions of opposing student body, as
the visitors do when A&M plays at home.
A lot has been sa^id about the conduct of students in the
Southwest Conference this year, but not too much has been
done about it.
Texas Coach Hal Bradley stopped the game at Austin
and made a plea on the public address system in an effort to
curtail some of the paper throwing. At A&M. students are
no longer allowed to sit behind the opposing players’ bench.
There has been plenty of yelling from all facets of A&M
students, but so far this season there hasn’t been a rain of
paper thrown on fhe floor.
This is something that neither Texas or SMU can boast.
After what happened Tuesday night, A&M students will
probablv be seeking revenge from anvone that comes to G.
Rollie White and will be tempted to throw paper.
But, this does no good at all and can possibly cause seri
ous injury to the nlavers as well as slow down the game.
This point was well illustrated in Dallas as an SMU player
slipped on a pea that had been shot onto the floor. He could
have been hurt for no reason at all, because of his own class
mate. ™ , ~‘
Some mav think that the paper throwing rattles the
Visiting team, but the Aggies also have five men on the floor
ind just because the paper was thrown by a “buddy” doesn’t
mean that it couldn’t shake them.
Besides being dangerous and unsportsmanlike, paper
throwing gives the coaches another worry. A technical foul
could be called. Students should have enough respect for
their own team and coaches to realize thev are trying to plav
the game the way it should be played. Throwing paper isn’t
in the rule books.
Last vear the Texas coach sent a letter to A&M com
mending them on the treatment that he and his te»m receiv
ed in College Station. Whether or not Coach Dradley writes
another letter after tonight is immaterial, but it would be
good to give him a chance to.
Good conduct bv A&M students tonight probably won’t
win them any sportsmanship trophies, but no one will have
any legitimate gripes against the Aggies.
But, don’t forget to come and ELL. SCREAM. HOL
LER, and appear like one athlete from another SWC school
says r “It’s like playing in a den of wolves.”

Fish Try For Another 6 Best’
As TIorns Invade G. Rollie
By LARRY SMITH
After playing their best game
of the season, in a losing effort
against Tyler, and their worst
game of the season, also in a los
ing effort against Rice, the Fish
Cagers take on the Texas Short
horns tonight in G. Rollie White
Coliseum.
Fish Coach Shelby Metcalf said,
“If the Fish aren’t up for this
game, they aren’t very good Ag
gies”, so they will probably be up.
The Fish will not be at full
strength for the Shorthorn game
since Chuck McGuire is still nurs
ing a bad ankle suffered in the
Tyler game. He will only see lim
ited action according to Metcalf.
Cecil Ferguson, who played his
best game of the season against
Rice, should start in McGuire’s
position and will also take up some
of the slack at rebounding. “Fer
guson was the best Fish on the
floor against the Owlets”, said
Metcalf, as he scored 14 points.
Ray Poncho, a reserve guard for
most of the season, has been im
proving in practice and will see
action tonight, said Metcalf.
Texas will undoubtedly have the
height advantage as their starting
five run like this: 6-8, 6-7, 6-6, 6-4
and 6-1. Four of these men were
All-State in high school.
The Fish’s last two games, Tex
as and Baylor, are against the best
two freshman teams the Fish have
played this season Metcalf said.
Earlier this winter, the Fish de
feated the Shorthorns in Austin
54-51. Bennie Lenox led the scor
ing with 36 points, his second
highest total of the year.
Game time is at 6 p. m.
