The JCazorbacks need a wip even

Rose will pit a determined quintet
against the Ag - s, to be sure.
It will include the SWO’s lead

lad high up on the overall scoring
list as well. His average is one
above that of Aggie backboard ace
Jerry Windham.
THE BEST free-throw shooter
in the conference, Tom Boyer, will
be on hand at forward to make
fouling unadvisable. No slouch
from the floor either, Boyer is
fourth among overall scorers in
the league.

Congratulations to Bennie Lenox, 6-2 guard on Bob
Rogers’ varsity cage squad, who was honored Tuesday as
the Southwest Conference’s athlete of the Month.
The 20-year-old junior, who is second in league scoring
behind Rice’s Kendall Rhine, was named January’s top per
former in the SWC by the conference lettermen’s association
at a Dallas luncheon.
Ags Are 10-4 For Season*
With things just a little past the half-way mark in bas
ketball, the Aggies own a 10-4 overall record and are 3-1 in
SWC competition. They currently rank second to the Texas
Longhorns in the cage race and will be laying their standing
on the line in an afternoon battle with the 'Razorbacks in
Fayetteville Saturday.
The Fish, guided by Shelby Metcalf, have a 4-1 slate
and will go back into action Tuesday against the Texas frosh
in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
Art Adamson’s swimmers got off to a slow start at the
conference relays last December. There will be a lot more
splashing before the year’s activities are over for them, how
ever. A week from Saturday the swimmers will get back
into action against SMU in Dallas.
Swimmers, Cagers In February
Throughout February it will be swimming and basket
ball. But when these two bow out in early March, Charlie
Thomas’ track squad and Tom Chandler’s baseballers will be
off and running. Golf and tennis will get in on the act in
late March and by the beginning of April a four-sport spring
program will be in full swing.
Good Spring On Tap
Coaches and fans can look forward to the spring semes
ter’s sports activities with a good deal of optimism. It looks
to be one of the most promising years in a long time. For
starters, the basketball race is far from over. Hotshot Texas
is going to have to hustle more than ever to hold off the
Cadets and three other league rivals during this homestretch
of play.
Hank Ransom is sure to come up with another stellar
bunch of golfers. He has already made it pretty well known
that he intends to grab off his fourth SWC championship in
a row.
With lads like Danny Roberts, Jerry Anderson, John
Collins, E. L. Ener, Ted Nelson, and many others, track
coaches Thomas and Ray Putnam will be menaces at any
track meet this spring.
A crop of young baseball players is returning that would
make any coach’s mouth water. As sophs last year, they
turned the league race topsy-turvy before running out of gas
a few innings shy of the championship. Older and wiser, and
having lost only one key man. Chandler’s crew will be the
one to watch in the SWC

Result; New family of lightweight powerplants... Including a new

it'i
In our search to provide good performance with lighter
powerplants, Ford Motor Company engineers and
foundrymen have pioneered new techniques that now
let us cast our engine blocks with such precision that
much lighter engines are made possible.
New materials used to make cores and molds and new
casting methods enable us to make engine parts with
walls as thick as necessary—but no thicker. This
eliminates weight of extra material which must be used
to provide adequate strength with less precise casting
methods.
Reducing engine weight through precision casting
means more performance per pound—and since
lighter engines mean overall car weight can be
reduced, better fuel economy results.
Another assignment completed—another Ford First—
and one more example of how Ford Motor Company
continues to provide engineering leadership for the
American Road.

Cougars Squeak Past Cadets
As Calm Game Ends In Riot
By JIM BUTLER
In a relatively calm basketball
game that erupted into a wild
brawl with 11 seconds left, the
University of Houston Cougars
squeaked by the Aggies, 58-57, in
Houston Wednesday night.
The Cougars took an early lead
on jump shots by Folly Malone
and Jack Mergenthaler. The Ag
gies came back, arid on jump shots
by Gerald Woodard, took the lead,
which they held till the closing
minutes of the contest.
MID-WAY through the first
half, Bennie Lenox gunned in a
jump shot to give the Aggies their
biggest lead of the half, 20-15.
Tight defensive work by both
teams kept the scoring down as
the Cadets led at half-time, 29-25.
The Cougars’ Lyle Harger was
held to five points the first half
by the close guarding of Lee Wal
ker.
The half-time show featured an
imaginary slaughter of an Aggie
dummy to the tune of a Dixieland
jazz combo at courtside.
U. of H. came out the second
half with the aim of stopping the
hot Lenox, who had 11 points in
the first period. Two and often
three Cougars sagged on Lenox
and held him to one basket in the
second half.
The Cadets and Cougars traded
baskets in the opening minutes of
the half and with 10 minutes left
to play, the Aggies still held a
4-point lead, 45-41.
With 58 seconds remaining in
the game, Houston went into a
stall, leading 57-55. Lenox fouled
Chet Oliver with 10 seconds left,
and Oliver and Paul Timmins col
lided. Immediately players from
both benches, as well as a dozen
fans, were on the floor swinging.
AFTER the referees stopped the
fight, Oliver made his free shot
to run the score to 58-55.
Timmins took the ball downcourt
and went in untouched for a layup
as the clock ran out.
Foul shots made the difference
in the game as U. of H. sank 22
of 28 and the Cadets hit on 15 of
22. The Cougars missed only one
of 18 one-pointers in the second I Woodard and Malone shared
half. scoring honors for the game.
