Friendships come and go fast
for th* Aggies in the Southwest
Conference basketball race. Sat*
urday’s friends will become Tues
day night’s enemies tonight —
the hectic SWC and the Maroon
and White get set for their next*
to-last night of action in the
1967-68 -ason.
Texas Christian, which was
Saturday afternoon’s Aggie ene
mies by b—ting Shelby Meteelf’s
quintet 85-78, tonight becomes
the Maroon and White’s friend.
The Frogs will host league-lead
ing Texaa at Fort Worth and the
Aggies will be hoping for a TCU
victory.
THE AGGIES are at Lubbock
tonight to meet Texas Tech’s
Red Raider five. Saturday night,
Tech was an Aggie accomplice
as they knocked off the aagging
Baylor Bears 65-63 at Lubbock.
What all this boils down to
is that Texas (8-4) took over the
SWC lead as they were the only
leading team to score a victory
over the weekend. The Longhorns
cooled off the hot Southern Meth
odist Mustangs 83-72 at Dallas.
While Texas won, the Aggies
and Baylor lost and what had
b—n a three-way tie for first now
has become a same number tie
for second (7-5) with TCU taking
Tax—’ place
Saturday afternoon before a
regional TV audience and some
unruly Daniel Meyer Coliseum
fans, th* Aggies lost some valu
able ground in the SWC —ramble
with the loss to TCU. The Aggies
now stand 13-9 on the Mason
while the Frogs are 12-10.
THE FATE of the Aggies Sat
urday can be seen by comparing
the final six minutes of the first
and second halfs.
With six minutes left in the
first half, Soany Benefield (high
point man for the Aggies with
20 points) made a steal aad
dribbled down the court to score,
making it 38-28, TCU. The Aggies
then swamped the Frogs 14-4 to
make it a 42-42 tie at inter-
miMion.
However, in the final half-
dozen minutes in the second half,
Aggie fortunes took a turn for
the worst. During the same length
of time, the Aggies could man
age just one field goal and Mven
foul shots while the Frogs and
their intimidating fans were
whooping it up.
Th* fa— became downright
fierce in the second half — th*
Aggies pulled into a temporary
lead. They showered the floor
with cups with ice. Ice without
cups, cups without ice and coins
not used to buy the cups that
origi—lly had soft drinks in them.
THIS DISRESPECT for order
shook up the Aggies (14 turn
overs), shook up th* officials (an
equal number of foul calls on the
Aggies) end fired up the Frogs
(a 61 percent shooting figure
after bringing a 42 average into
the game).
Tonight, th* Aggies are at the
place where they had their 1—t
experience with an unruly crowd,
Lubbock Coliseum. Last season,
the Aggies were showered with
some of the same projectiles of
the Saturday afternoon variety,
in a 41-36 loss to Tex— Tech.
Consol Eliminated
By Conroe, 59-48
Ag Nine Wins Two
In Weekend Set
The Tex— Aggie base bell team
made its 1968 debut over the
weekend, taking two games of a
three-game Mt with Pan-Ameri
can at Edinburg,
Friday afternoon, Coach Tom
Chandler’s three most-experienced
pitchers. Rocky Thompson, Wal
ter Vanrel and Bob Sanders com
bined to stop Pan-American, 6-5.
Sanders got credit for the win.
Saturday, the two teems met
again in a doubleheader. Pan-
American took the first gsme
3-0 while the Aggies bounced
back to take the nightcap, 4-3 in
10 innings.
In the first game, the Aggies
could do nothing agaiast the win
ning pitcher Tommy Sandival,
while three unearned runs were
being scored by the Pan-Am nine.
All the runs came in the second
inning after an error, sacrifice
and a single.
The Aggies won the nightcap
on a tenth inning single by in
fielder Butch Ghutxman. The win
ning tally was scored by left-
fielder Pete Maida who had reach
ed baM when struck by a wild
pitch. The winning pitcher for
the AggiM was Pish hurler Doug
Rau.
Co—h Tom Chandler's charges
have two home games this week.
Thursday afternoqa’ at 3 p m.,
the Aggies will host St. Mary’s
of San Antonio at Bryan’s Travis
Park. Saturday afternoon at 2
p.m., the Maroon and White will
open its Southwest Conference
Mason against Tex—, also at
, Travis Park.

GROW WITH THE SPACE AGE AT
By JOHN PLATZER
Don’t try to tell Co—h J—k
Churchill and hia AAM Consoli
dated cagers that lightning never
strikes twice in the same place.
For the second time in — many
years the Tigers were knocked
out of the state schoolboy play
off picture by Conroe in a district
playoff.
TOE LATEST time came Fri
day night in Houston’a Delmar
Fieldhouse where Consolidated
ended up on the short side of s
59-48 score.
Floor mistakes and rebounding
told the story in the game as the
College Station turn had trouble
with a Conroe press.
Seven times in the first half
alone Conroe turned steals into
two points.
Conroe took a quick 1-0 lead
and a quick st—I and two points
built it up to 3-0. Conroe never
trailed in the game as they built
their first quarter lead to 13-4
before Consolidated started a
comeb—k. The quarter ended with
Conroe on top 17-14.
IN TOE SECOND quarter Con
solidated also started slow —
Conroe tallied four field goals
to one for Consolidated in the
first four minutes of the period.
Two three point plays by Ennis
Watson in the quarter's 1—t 40
seconds, narrowed the Conroe lead
to 27-26 at the halftime hr—k.
For the first half Churchill’s
cagers had 11 turnovers to only
4 by Conroe.
The second half began like a
carbon copy of the first as Con
roe immediately increased their
margin. Consolidated w— held to
three field goals in the third
period — Conroe took a 41-34
lead going into the final eight
minutes.
CONROE WENT to e suiting
game with 1:14 remaining in the
third quarter and stayed in it
the rest of the cont—L
Of Conroe's 18 poinU in final
quarter, 14 of them came from
the foul stripe with 11 free shots
centered between two pointers.
Watson led Consolidated's of
fense with 16 poinU while Jen
Doxier added 12 and David Terra!
had 10.
