The Aggies shot 48.4 per cent for the game while SMU could hit only 38.2 per cent of their field goal attempts. Early in the game, it looked as though it was going to be all SMU as the Mustangs intimidat ed the Aggies to a 10-2 lead. The Aggies wasted no time in coming back to tie the game at 15 all whereupon the lead changed nine times for the remainder of the half. In the second half, it was again nip and tuck for a couple of min utes until Mike Floyd sank two free throws with 17:14 to go to give the Aggies a 45-44 lead which they never lost. The Mustangs were playing without the benefit of star player Sammy Hervey, the second lead ing scorer in the conference, who stayed in Dallas because of his low grades. Hervey, a 6-foot-7 215-pound forward, actually was eligible for the game under SWC rules. “He decided to stay at home to see if he can make up an incom plete in two courses,’’ an SMU spokesman said. “It was his de cision.” Hervey could become eligible for next semester anytime he makes up the incomplete courses, the spokesman said. SMU hosts Texas Saturday night but SMU coach Bob Prew itt said Hervey will not play in that game either. A&M travels to Fort Worth Saturday for another conference tilt against the TCU Horned Frogs. Texas 104, TCU 53 AUSTIN—Texas opened South west Conference play Tuesday night, whipping Texas Christian 104-53 in the largest margin of victory by a Longhorn in the modern era. | Due to Hie rapidly advancing paper liMtage. we at Piqqly Wiqqly are iskkiq our customers to return Hie brge used grocery bags either ours or omeone elses.
