By BILL HENRY
Assistant Sports Editor
In an intense physical battle
Monday night, Aaron Teixeira
dropped the first shot of a one-
and-one free throw situation after
A&M had tied the score at 68-all.
A&M had the final opportunity
with four seconds on the board
but an errant pass saved the
69-68 win for Hill Junior College.
The win gave Hill a 16-1 record
with its only loss coming at the
hands of perennial power, San
Jacinto. The loss drops the Fish
to 4-2.
A&M can be proud, however,
as it held Hill to its lowest point
production of the year. The
Rebels have averaged 104 points
through the first 16 games.
The absence of Mike Floyd, out
for the year after sustaining a
broken foot against San Antonio
College in the last outing, was
prevalent as the Fish were with
out an outside scoring threat and
ball handler.
The Fish fought back from an
eight point deficit with four min
utes gone in the second act to a
tie with eight minutes remaining.
Ron Marsh, Hill’s diminutive
sharp-shooting guard, led the
scorers with 25 points on 10 of
17 field attempts. Cedric Joseph
took runner-up honors with 21
points and led the game in re
bounds with 13. All in all, A&M
had four scorers in double fig
ures while the Rebels had only

GERERAL TELEPHOI1E COmPARy OF THE SOUTHUJEST
The margin of victory for Hill
came on the outside shooting per
centages by hitting 28 of 53 for
53 percent. A&M could only hit
25 of 60 for 41 percent. Free
throws for both clubs were less
than spectacular with A&M hit
ting only 18 of 33 and Hill with
13 of 22.
Against Blinn Junior College,
Floyd and Joseph led the Fish
as usual in a game won on the
free throw line. Blinn had but
one less field goal, hitting 29 to
the freshmen’s 30, but hit on
only eight of 17 gratis attempts.
A&M hit 24 of 34 for the third
straight win and the first since
returning from the semester
break. The loss was Blinn’s fourth
in 10 starts.
Shooting percentages also
played an important part for the
Fish. A&M hit on 14 of 22 from
the field for a blistering 64 per
cent during the first stanza and
finished the contest hitting 30
of 58 for 52 percent. The tremen
dous height advantage enabled
A&M to achieve this seemingly
hot hand with numerous tip-in
shots over the smaller Blinn team.
A&M outrebounded the visitors
69 to 35. Blinn hit on only 29 of
75 shots to spell them doom.
A&M, who had not played since
Dec. 14, looked sluggish and out
of tune in committing 19 turn
overs while the visitors made only
nine.
A few nights later the Fish
were to try to avenge their only
loss of the year against the San
Antonio College Rangers. In the
first game of the season, Jim
Culpepper’s club was bested by
his brother Ronnie’s Rangers 79-
67 in San Antonio. The win, which
did not come easy, cost the Fish
dearly as their top scorer, Floyd,
broke his foot and will not be back
in action throughout the remain
der of the season. Floyd was in
jured with just over two minutes
gone in the second period after
he had sparked the Fish to six
straight points. At the time of
his exit, A&M had a narrow 47-
44 edge and the ability to come
back after the loss seemed far
fetched. This was not to be the
case, however, as Cedric Joseph
filled in the void by scoring 19
of his 31 points in the second half.
In the contest, SAC led only
one time, 23-22, with 9:40 re
maining in the first half. With
a little over seven minutes left
in the game, A&M achieved its
largest lead, 14, and coasted in
to take the 88-75 win and
avenging the earlier loss to the
Rangers.
Joseph, besides his 31 much-
needed points, grabbed off 15
caroms to lead the team. Close
behind was Jerry Mercer with 14
rebounds and eight points. Tak
ing second place scoring honors
was Webb Williams with 15 and
10 rebounds. High scorer for the
visitors was Mike Luce with 30
points. In the first meeting, John
Thornton, the A&M farm-out to
SAC, took runnerup honors with
17 points.
Again, a lack of hustle could
have been disastrous as the Ran
gers got 48 rebounds to 57 for
the Fish.

A&M—Mike Floyd, 26; Cedric
Joseph, 16; Webb Williams, 11;

“As for the athletic program,
I think Emory Bellard is an ideal
man to head it up—both as ath
letic director and head football
coach,” the 1949 A&M graduate
added. “I also think President
Jack K. Williams and members
of the Board of Directors and
faculty who selected him should
be congratulated on their fore
sight and insight.”
