the battalion f>] lome? Saxton, Gibbs Lead
SWC In Three Departments
All-America forward Carroll i a 58-56 victory over the scrappy
Broussard, who broke his 13th Centenary Gents in Shreveport
A&M basketball record, and the Friday night.
stirring second half shooting of It was the season’s opener for
Bennie Lenox led the Aggies to | each team.
Bennie Lenox
. . top man with 21 points
Broussard, the 6-5 senior from
Port Arthur, broke Neil Swisher’s
career (three year) record of 984
points as he scored 19 points. He
has 987 points for his career and
is the holder of every one of the
A&M individual records.
Lenox High Point Man
Lenox was the high man for the
game as he dropped in 21 points
with the majority of these coming
in the last 20 minutes of play. A
sophomore, Lenox broke a fresh
man record last year as he scored
330 points.
Both teams had the jitters in
the first half, mostly because it
was their first contest. A&M left
the floor hitting on only 25% of
their field goal attempts in the
first 20 minutes. They ended
with 33% from the floor while
Centenary had 34%.
The Aggies whipped the Gents
in the rebound department as they
collected 59 to Centenary’s 36.
Broussard grabbed 11 rebounds
to lead the Aggies. Lenox, Ron
Durbon and Tommy Smith col
lected eight each.
Gents Lead By Seven
At one time in the first half,
the Gents led by seven points and
at the break, they were leading
28-25. During the last half, the
Aggies were ahead by as much
as seven points, but Centenary
closed the gap in the last few min
utes.
From the free throw line, the
Aggies hit on 59% while the
Gents hit on 77%.
Jerry Windham, the 6-6 center
from Hamilton, didn’t play as he
is still nursing a torn leg liga
ment. He probably will not play
until after the Christmas holidays.
Lewis Qualls and Lee Walker
took care of the post (center) po
sition.
While the Aggies were edging
the Gents, the Fish basketballers
were losing in their opener to the
Tyler Junior College Apaches,
68-62.
The varsity and the fish get
back into action tonight at G. Rol-
lie White Coliseum when the Uni
versity of Houston Cougars meet
the varsity and the fish play host
to Kilgore Junior College.
Always-tough Houston won over
the California Aggies in their
first outing ^nd will be trying to
extent of the injurjr hasn’t been
determined.
The freshman game begins at
6 p.m. and the varsity contest
starts at 8 p.m.

make it two in a row over a team
of Aggies. Last year the Aggies
and Cougars split in two games;
the Ags won the first, 66-61, while
UH took the second meeting, 89-
85.
Broussard Injured
Coach Bob Rogers is hoping that
Broussard will be able to play
against Houston. He injured his
back in the Centenary game. The
Defending champions were de
throned in Southwest Conference
ball-carrying, passing and total
offense this season as James Sax
ton of Texas, Jerry Rhome of
SMU and Sonny Gibbs of TCU
captured individual crowns in
those three statistical depart
ments.
Gibbs took the total offense
lead in the opening game of the
season and never relinquished it
as he increased his season aggre
gate to 1,198 with 128 yards pass
ing and 36 rushing in the 28-28
tie with SMU. That gave him 47
yards more than Baylor’s Ronnie
Stanley accumulated in 10 games
to win the title last year. Stan
ley failed to make the Top Ten
this season.
Saxton clinched the ball-carry
ing championship on Thanksgiving
Day and his rushing total of 846,
the best in the league since 1955,
enabled him to take runner-up
honors to Gibbs in total offense.
Coolidge Hunt of Tech, the 1960
leader, finished in fifth place,
which Sophomore Tommy Crutcher
of TCU took the runner-up spot
with a gain of 68 yards against
SMU.
Like Saxton, Rhome assumed
leadership in mid-season and held
on to it. The SMU sophomore
stood off Gibbs’ challenge Satur
day to lead the league in pass
completions with 74, just one less
than Stanley completed last year
for top honors.
Carroll Broussard
. . . broke 13th record
Gibbs managed more aerial
yardage, however, gaining 999 on
his 71 completions. He also led
in yardage gained per completion
(14-1). Rhome edged Texas’
Mike Gotten in Efficiency (.574 to
.571) but Gotten led the leape
in touchdown passes with 7, one
more than Gibbs, George McKin
ney of Arkansas and Bobby Ply
of Baylor.
Conference teams closed out the
campaign with field goals once
again playing major roles in in
creased point production- H. L,
Daniels of Tech kicked three for
a game record in the league, while
Butch Blume of Rice booted two
against Baylor to give him a total
of six for the season, which like
wise is a new mark.
KUKUSilCHEV’S
SECRET PRORISE
TO IKE
We can’t discuss Berlin, says
Eisenhower, unless we know its
background. In this week’s
Post, he tells why he opposed
the Allied plan for Germany.
Why the Nazi surrender was
hushed up for 24 hours. And
what Khrushchev promised
him privately at Camp David.
