28th consecutive home victory a-
gainst the Cougars. The last time
an Aggie squad lost in G. Rollie
White was in January of 1960,
when SMU managed to slip by
Rogers’ lads, 64-62.
Guy Lewis’ formidable Cougars
figured high in all the pre-season
national polls, and they have been
listed among the top twenty so
far this year. They’ll have a
5-0 slate going for them when
they come to College Staiton this
weekend.
They will bring with them
Lyle Harger, Donnie Schverak, and
Folly Malone as standouts, with
other starters Chet Olivet' and
Reno Lifschutz on hand to give
the Cadets a run for it.
HARGER IS an All-American
candidate who has averaged 18
counters per game this year. He
sports a 61.7 field goal percentage.
He was sixth in the nation in field
goal shooting last season. Harger
has 13.3 rebdunds per game'.
Before Thursday night’s 76-69
win over North Texas, the Cougars
had averaged 75.3 points per con- i
test, and 47 rebounds to their op
ponent’s 36.3.
The Cadets have averaged 82.5 !
per game against their foes’ 70.7. !
They’ve taken 180 rebounds to the j
enemies’ 154.
It will probably be a real tussle
between A&M’s Jerry Windham
and Harger. Windham has aver- :
aged 20.5 points per contest so j
far this season. He has collected
40 rebounds for a 10 per game
norm.

Coach Shelby Metcalf’s Fish
basketballers will kick off cage
activities Saturday night. They’ll
be meeting Kilgore Junior College
at 6 p.m. before the varsity tilt
with Houston.
The Fish will be looking for
revenge for the 86-72 loss they
suffered at the hands of Kilgore
JC in Kilgore as they opened their
1962-63 season. A week later the
Aggie freshmen rolled over Bryan’s
Allen Academy, 100-80, at home in
their second outing’.

Both Borger and Spring Branch

A young Aggie swimming team
opens its 1962-63 season Satur
day in the annual Southwest Con
ference Relays at Dallas.
Veteran Coach Art Adamson, in
his 28th year as head of the Aggie
swimmers, has a 19-man squad
consisting of only two seniors,
seven juniors and ten sophomores.
The Aggies compiled a 5-3 won-
lost record in dual meets last year,
but are not expected to fare as
well this season due to inexperi
ence. However, Adamson has a
couple of record holders he can
call on.
Bob Baker, a junior from Hous
ton, swam the 50-yard freestyle
event in 22.3 seconds last season for
a P. L. Downs Jr. Natatorium re
cord and teamed with Tom Ken-
nerly, Bill Baker and David Kass
for a new pool mark of 3:33.2 in
the 400-yard freestyle relay. Ken-
nerly, a junior from Spring Branch,
also returns to this year’s team.

Mainstay In Relief
A 6-7 senior from Three Rivers, Lee Walker was a mainstay
in relief for Bob Rogers’ Aggie basketball team last season.
And it looks as if he will continue to turn in fine perform
ances during his final season. The 200-pounder has averag
ed 6.5 points per game this season and has collected 18 re
bounds in three games. Last year, playing often as a sub
stitute, he scored 48 points in 21 games and had 47 per
cent accuracy from the floor. The big physics major
gathered 63 rebounds for the Cadets last season.
