Antonio meet. It was a new experience for the boys as they ran on the boards. They were bumping into each other and there was a little confusion. I think we’ll do better at the Hous ton meet this weekend,” Thomas said. * Danny Roberts, the giant soph omore weighrtman from Cleveland, got off his best collegiate throw at San Antoraio as he won the shot put with a toss of 55-8. The throw was a great one for this early in the year, said Thomas. Charlie Tiemann placed in the shot put with a put of 52-0. In the high jump Aggie Donnie Denver placed second with a jump of 6-3. Thad Crooks was fourth in the open 880-dash and E. L. Ener was third in the mile run. Ted Nelson, running unattached, plaped third in the open 300-yard dash. Ilhan Bilgutay was third in the two-mile run. There were no team winners in the meet since the points were not totalled.

It was a “must” victory for the Cadets if they were to remain in the SWC race. Smith, a fifth-year senior from Jefferson, was tremendously “hot” from the field as he hit 8 of 10 field goal attempts and added 5 of 7 free throws. Transfer Benny Johnson also had a good night as he hooped 18 points. Carroll Broussard, who rarely shot, fol- ★ ★ ★ Tyler JC Apaches Outlast Late Surge By Fish, 54-52 The Fish tried a desperation full-court press in the dying mo ments of the game Saturday night with Tyler Junior College, but the effort proved futile as the Apa ches pulled out a 54-52 victory. Quickly jumping off to a two- point lead on a shot by Guard Paul Timmons, the Aggie .fresh men looked as if they were deter mined to avenge an early 68-62 loss sustained at Tyler. However, Tyler quickly knotted the score at four-all, and then moved into a lead which they kept throughout this remainder of the ball game. Led by a pair of sharpshooting guards, 5-10 Bobby Carpenter and 5-9 Sturdy Wanamaker, the Apa ches continued to pull away from the young Cadets in the first half. A flurry of Fish baskets pulled them within six points of Tyler and the first half ended, 30-24, in favor of Tyler. The second half scoring was started by Tyler’s Carpenter, who dropped in a jump shot with only seven seconds gone. The Aggies’ John McCurley returned the favor 37 seconds later with a quick turn around shot. Tim Timmerman, Fish pivot- man, led the second half Aggie scoring with ten points. Coupled with two points scored in the first half, his last period surge gave him top Fish point honors for the night with 12 points. He also led his teammates in rebounding with 13. All-America Honor Given To Russ Hill Russell Hill, the starting left end on the 1961 Aggie football team, was recently named to the third team Academic All-Amer ica Football Team selected by 511 sports writers across the United States. Hill, a 5-11, 180-pounder from Dallas, was a three-year letter- man for the Aggies and has been a standout for A&M since 1959. As a sophomore, he led the Southwest Conference in pass receiving. Three SWC stars were named to the All-America first team— Baylor’s Ronnie Bull, Arkansas’ Lance Alworth and Texas’ John ny Treadwell. To be qualified for the team, a player must have a B average or better and must have starred on the gridiron. Second in scoring and rebound ing for the freshmen was Tommy Bantle, who grabbed 11 off the boards and dropped in four field goals and a free throw for nine points. Bobby Carpenter led the Apa ches with 18 points on eight field goals and two free throws. Second in scoring was Center Don Eckel- man with 14 points on six floor shots and two charity shots. The 6-6 Eckelman also led both teams in rebounding with 20. Both teams were unimpressive, making numerous mistakes. The Fish made a close contest of it, considering it was their fourth game and was preceded by only one formal workout since before the Christmas holidays. The shooting was especially poor as Tyler hit only 36.5 per cent of their shots from the field. The Fish did even worse, as they could manage just 30.8 per cent on their field goal tries. After four games, the Aggie Frosh have a 1-3 record. They have lost twice to Tyler and once to Kilgore at Kilgore. Their lone victory came at the expense of the Rangers in G. Rollie White Coliseum. lowed with 11 points. Top honors of the game went to Tech’s-Harold Hudgens, the All- SWC 6-10 center, who hit for 24 points. Little Del Ray Mounts followed Hudgens with 20 points —12 of these came in the final 714 minutes. On field goal percentages the Aggies clearly beat the Red Raid ers as they hit on 46 per cent of their shots while Tech was making 40 per cent. From the free throw line, A&M made 68 per cent and Tech dropped in 60 per cent. It was a tremendous night for the rebounders and the Aggies routed the Red Raiders, 56-31. The Tech basketball coach, Gene Gib son, gave a fine compliment to the A&M team. He said that Sat urday night was the first time in two years that the Tech team had been out-hustled. Needless to say, A&M Coach Rob Rogers was well pleased with the state ment. Jerry Windham, who led in re bounds with 11, enjoyed his finest game of the year. Time and time again he went high to take the rebound away from Hudgens, who is four inches taller. Ron Durbon was right behind Windham in re bounding as he pulled in 10. The Aggies controlled the boards so much that Tech only got one offensive rebound in the first half. The game was nip and tuck up until 11:38 left in the first half when the Aggies went on a scor ing spree. Smith, Broussard and Johnson got two field goals each within the next four minutes. Tonight the Aggies travel to Waco to take on the Baylor Bears, who have a 0-2 record in SWC play and are tied with TCU for the cellar. </ SUITS 20<r<> OFF Q <% % \ OR With The Purchase Of Each Suit At Reg.
