Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, December 11, 1964 THE BATTALION Aggies Gain Revenge Memphis State Falls, 81 - 71 By LANI PRESSWOOD Sports Editor A determined crew of Aggies avenged the only blemish on their season record Thursday night with an 81-71 triumph over Memphis State in G. Rollie White Coliseum. A crowd of 5,000 watched the Cadets pull away from the Tigers midway of the first half to notch their fourth victory in five starts. The Maroons used a well-bal anced attack and a tenacious de fense to hand MSU its first loss of the year. Guards Paul Timmins and Dickie Stringfellow paced the Aggies during the hardfought con test. Timmins racked up 21 points, his highest production ever in an A&M uniform. Stringfellow hit five of his seven field goal attempts for ten points. Both were aggressive and effective on defense. Memphis State jumped off to a 5-1 lead and kept the pressure on for the first ten minutes. With the score deadlocked at 21-21, A&M Coach Shelby Metcalf called time out. The Ags then came out of their zone press and moved into a dropback man-for-man. They combined this with a hot shooting spurt to chalk up 12 points while holding the Tigers to two. MSU was never able to re cover. They came within three points but couldn’t close the gap. The halftime score was 38-32. The last 20 minutes started off slow. At 13:49 the Ag lead was shaved to 45-42. Timmins then hit four straight points and Ken Nor man put in a rebound to give the Aggies a nine-point lead. Eddie Dominguez sank a pair of throws at 2:25 to give the Cadets their widest margin, 74-58. The final spread of ten points was one point over the margin MSU won by in Memphis. For the first time this season, the Cadets won the battle of the boards. The Ags held a 59-45 re bound advantage. They also out- shot the Tigers, 39 per cent to 35 per cent. The difference in the game came at the free throw line. Both clubs had 25 field goals but the Aggies sank 31 of 44 free shots as op posed to MSU’s 21 of 30. Timmins and Stringfellow were followed in scoring by Norman and Billy Atkinson with nine apiece. The improving Atkinson sank nine of ten charity shots. Norman led the rebounders with 11 Bill Gasway hauled down eight. Gutty guard Tim Morgan scored 25 points and played a topflight game all-around for the Tigers. After the game Metcalf said, “We’re improving. We were still green when we played them earlier.” The next Aggie encounter comes Monday night when the tough Houston Cougars invade White Ft Pf TP 9 19 0 2 4 9 2 21 0 5 10 2 0 2 3 4 9 0 10 0 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 2 13 14 5 31 26 81 Officials: Bob Smith and Bill Henderson.
