An era in the sports history of
A&M comes to an end tonight
when big Carroll Broussard dons
his familiar number ‘54’ jersey for
his last Aggie basketball game.
Broussard, the Mr. Everything
in A&M basketball annals, will
start his 84th straight game when
Coach Bob Rogers’ crew faces the
Baylor Bears at 8 p.m. in G. Rollie
White Coliseum.
He has never failed to start a
game since becoming eligible for
basketball here.
Just last week Broussard was
named All-Southwest Conference
for the third consecutive year and
given honorable mention in the As
sociated Press All-America. Brous
sard won second team honors on
the 1961 Helms Foundation All-
America team and honorable men
tion from Look Magazine. /
Last Thursday the student Sen
ate designated today “Carroll
Broussard Appreciation Day.” The
Senate will present Broussard a
plaque before the beginning of to
night’s game.
Broussard’s records, which range
from the most points scored in a
season (538 in 1960-61) to the
most points scored in one game
(37 twice in 1960-61), have made
eyes sparkle in Aggie-exes from
Walla Walla, Wash., to Pensacola,
Fla.
His other marks include most
field goals in one game (15 in
1961 again Arkansas and Texas),
most field goals in one season
(189 in 1960-61) and most free
throws in one game (19 against
Texas in 1961).
Broussard is the all-time second
leading scorer for one season in
the Southwest Conference. His
339 points in 14 SWC games (24.2
average) in the 1960-61 season is
surpassed only by TCU’s Dick
O’Neal who scored 362 points in
1954-55.
Through his 71 completed var
sity games, Broussard has netted
1,364 points. The old A&M rec
ord, held by Neil Swisher, was
984 points.
As a schoolboy eager, Broussard,
who is an honor student at Aggie-
land, was one of the best perform
ers to ever come out of the South
Coast region of Port Arthur. By
the time he was a junior at Thom
as Jefferson High, he had blos
somed into an athlete with great
potential and was chosen to the
All-State Tournament team with
his squad which won the state
championship.
In his final year as a schoolboy,
recognition really began to come

his way. His trophies include ones
for All-State, All-Star and All-
America. Then came the big de
cision of where to go to college.
“I guess the real reason I came
to A&M was because of Coach
Rogers,” Broussard says. “He
just about lived on my doorstep.”
As a first year man at A&M,
Broussard continued his cool, re
laxed type of play. At the end
of the season, he was named the
most valuable freshman in the
SWC apd was top man on the All-
SWC team.
When sophomore year rolled
around, the business major’s “big
gest thrill” was in store for him—
playing in the final Southwest
Conference Tournament in Hous
ton, where he was voted the most
valuable player.
From this beginning, Broussard
went on to easily break every rec-
oi’d ever set in basketball at A&M.
And he did it in a graceful, pain
less manner that has become fa
mous throughout the U.S.
Broussard isn’t decided about
his future now that his collegiate
carrer has ended. Whatever he
chooses, he will -long live in the
history of A&M athletics.
