Both teams were anything but impressive in the first 20 minutes as the Aggies hit 26.1% from the field while the Cougars were get ting only 24%. Sophomore playmaker Bennie Lenox led A&M in scoring with 20 points and Carroll Broussard, who is bothered with a back in jury, dropped in 12. Jack Thomp son led the losers with 16 points. Ron Durbon led the Cadets in rebounds with eight and Lyle Har- ger grabbed 11 for Houston. Houston jumped off to a quick lead and lead at one time, 12-7, but Lenox dropped in a long jump shot with 13:59 left and the Ags were ahead to stay. Fouls marred the game as the Aggies got 25 and Houston 19. At times it was sloppy contest with football-type pile-ups which in volved up to four players and two goal tending penalties; one again st each team. At the half the Aggies left the floor with a 25-22 lead and Lewis Qualls had four fouls. Qualls and Lee Walker fouled out for A&M and Dick Thurman got the limit for Houston. In the second half the Aggies were a different team as they hit on 50% of their field goal at tempts to average out for the night with 39.2%. Houston finish ed with 32%. Several “newcomers” played for the Ags and did impressive jobs. David Johnson, Benny Johnston and Robinette played fine games in their first home appearance on the varsity. Benny, a junior col lege transfer, dropped in six points in his short visit to the floor. The Aggies are off the rest of the week and finally get back into action against Memphis State in Tennessee on Dec. 11. A crowd of 4,700 witness the first home game of the season at G. Rollie White Coliseum. Mickey Mantle fanned 114 times in 152 American League games last season. Bill Skowron struck out 108 times in 150 games.

(Photo by Jim Hamilton) Craig Punt Champ DALLAS (7P> — Lance Alworth of Arkansas and Babe Craig of Texas A&M were the only South west Conference football players to retain their statistical cham pionships. Craig won the punting title again while Alworth continued to lead the league in punt returns. Craig averaged 38.9 yards per kick and won the title by three- tenth of a yard over sophomore Garry Thomas of Texas Christian, who in turn edged Bob Wayt of Rice by one-tenth. Alworth had a 12-yard average on punt returns. This was well under his national championship figure of 17.1 last year. Baylor’s Ronnie Bull relin quished his scoring and touchdown titles. Rice’s Butch Blume racked up 74 points for a 20-point margin over Bull’s 1960 mark for the highest total by a Southwest Con ference player since 1955 when Jim Swink of TCU counted 125. Bull’s nine-touchdown produc tion of last season was matched this year by both James Saxton and Jerry Cook of Texas. A college-size player, Saxton led the conference with a pro-size record 846 yards which ranked as the highest figure attained in the league since Swink’s 1,283 in 199 carries. Coolidge Hunt, the 1960 leader, finished fifth. Blume won the field goal title with a record six, and shared two other 1961 crowns, tying Baylor’s Carl Choate in most points scored by kicking 38 and matching two others—Cook and Travis Reagan of A&M—in pass interceptions at four each.

Rollie White Coli seum for their first win of the ; season. With Guard Paul Timmons of Clear Creek dropping in two swift field goals, the Fish quickly mov ed into an 8-0 lead. Kilgore did not score until three minutes deep in the game, when Bonds made a free throw. Woodard followed Bonds’ one- pointer with a quick layup to make the score 8-3. The Cadet fresh men tallied with a 11-point splurge before allowing Kilgore to score again. Aggressive board work by the Aggies’ Tim Timmerman of Hous ton Auston and Tommy Bantle of Dallas Jesuit enabled the Fish to build a 28-9 lead with 9:44 left in the half. Timmerman and Bantle led both teams in rebounding, each picking off 13 for the game. Leading by 19 points, Coach Shelby Metcalf sent in his reserv es for a little game action. Playing against the reserves, the Rangers rallied to within five points of the Fish, trailing 28-33 with two minutes left in the half. Back came the Fish first stringers and at the half it was the Fish, 40-82. Kilgore started second half scor ing with a quick, two points by Woodard, their number one for ward. Fish Forward Jay Baker of Aldine retaliated for the Aggies with an easy crip shot. Playing catch up ball, the Ran gers forced the Fish into mistakes and capitalized on them to pull within three points with 7:26 left in the ballgame. At that point the Aggies began playing ball con trol. Trying to gain possession, Kilgore was forced to press and A&M picked up valuable points from the free throw line. The Fish made more points form the free throw line in the last seven minutes than from the field.
