Pn r re 4 College Station, Texas Tuesday, Decembei' 18, 1962 THE BATTALION IN TIGHT GAME Inspired Ag Basket!)alters Tumble Cougars, 69 - 67 By VAN CONNER Battalion Sports Editor In a game in which neither team held more than a 6-point advantage throughout, Coach Bob Rogers’ inspired Cadet basketballers held on to a slim lead in the closing seconds and tumbled nationally- ranked Houston, 69-67, Saturday night in G. Rollie'White Coliseum. The win was the 28th consecu tive home triumph for A&M and the Cougars’ first season loss. The Ags now own a 4-1 record, after having lost onte to the Lamar Tech Cardinals in Beaumont. A tension-filled second half saw four foul-outs, the score tied four times and the lead change hands six times. With just over three minutes left to play, the Cadets were out in front, 67-66, when Lee Walker drew his fifth foul and Houston’s Don Schverak made one of two charity tosses to even things up. A&M CALLED t i m e, then brought the ball slowly downcourt and set up to wait for the final, decisive shot. With 42 seconds left, “Sports Car Center” Dealers for Rcnault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service “We Service All Foreign Cars”; 1416 Texas Ave. TA 2-4517; m3 Houston’s Eddie Winch got worried and guarded Bennie Lenox too close. Lenox sank both on the one-and-one situation and the Cadets had two important tallies. Houston took a time-out with 17 seconds left and then came up- court where Folly Malone had a shot but missed and Lew Qualls picked off his 9th rebound to spoil the night for the Cougars. Houston had taken an early lead in the first half, hut with four minutes gone in the period Qtialls put the Cadets, ahead, 6-5, with a tip-in. A few minutes later the Ags had managed to broaden the lead to 16-10. COUGAR ALL-AMERICA can didate Lyle Harger went to work then, along with teammates Tommy Thompson and Malone, and shaved the lead to two points. Winch sank two free throws with 6:44 left in the half to make it 23-23. Ten seconds later Gerald Wood ard put the Ags out in front again with one of two free shots. The shooting of Walker and Lenox kept the Ags ahead until less than a minute remained in the half, when Schverak and Harger dropped in a jumper and a pair of free throws, respectively, to even it up at 38-38. With four seconds left until the break, Lenox put in a jump shot from the free-throw line to give the Aggies a 40-38 halftime lead. Although the Ags managed to pull six points ahead of the Cougars early in the second period, things got pretty salty from then on. Woodard fouled out with half the period gone. Harger had to leave with five minutes-’ left and A&M’s Paul Timmins followed suit a few seconds later. LENOX was the game high- point man with 22. Houston’s Harger followed him with 20 and Malone had 19. For the Ags, Jerry Windham put in a fine nights work with 18 points and matched Harger’s 13 rebounds. The Cadets outshot the Cougars from the floor with 25 of 58 for 43.1 per cent. Houston had 21 of 52 for 40.4 per cent. What Rogers is most proud of, however, are the 46 x'ebounds the Ag’gies collected against 38 for Houston. He pointed out Sunday that this was a fine showing against a club as tall and strong as Guy Lewis’ Cougars. Box Score HOUSTON R. Lifsehutz D. Schverak L. Harft'er Fr 1 6 5 T. Thomsoi F. Malone C.
