That was the name of the game as the Aggies came on strong in the second half to defeat Southwest Texas State last night 57-42. It was Southwest Texas that ruined the Ags’ season opener by giving A&M their first and only loss of the season. Tough defense and numerous fouls were characteristic of this low- scoring battle. The Aggies stayed mainly with their effective zone de fense throughout the game, forcing Southwest Texas to make many inac curate, outside shots. After getting the opening tipoff, A&M scored quickly with a shot under the basket from center Cissy Auclair. However, during the next three and a half minutes of play, neither team could manage to score. Both teams looked a little sluggish in the first half, each hitting a low percentage of its shots. At halftime. Southwest Texas had only 19 points to show for its efforts, compared to 29 for A&M. The second half was a different story. The Aggies came roaring back, playing well and shooting much more accurately. At one point during the second half. Southwest Texas managed only one goal in the span of seven minutes, because of the Ags’ awesome defense. A little pep talk by coach Kay Don during halftime helps explain her team’s sudden turnabout. “I told them we were going to have "I - ■ to go out there and hustle a lot more,” Don said. “I told them to go out and play like they wanted to win.” No sooner said than done. It was all A&M in the second half, with the Ags virtually dominating every phase of the game. At one point the Aggies’ lead stretched to 23. When Southwest Texas finally showed signs of making an attempted com eback, it was too late. The game be longed to the Aggies. The scoring for the Ags was evenly spread out. Margaret Byrne was high scorer with 15 points followed by Diane Quitta with 10 points. Sally Morisse and Auclair each had 8 points, while Cindy Gough scored 6. Quitta again led in scoring assists with 8. Byrnes also led in rebounds with 12 while Gough and Morisse had 9 and 7 rebounds respectively. For their next game, the Aggies will meet Wharton Junior College this Saturday at 5.T5 p.m. in G.

Imagine an order of 22,000 priests and brothers in 73 countries around the World. (That’s a pretty big family.) But that’s what the Salesians of St. John Bosco are all about — a large family of community-minded men dedicated to the service of youth. (And no one gets lost.) In the 1800’s a chance meeting between a poor priest and a street urchin served to create a movement of such success that it is still growing today. Don Bosco became the priest who brought youth back from the streets — and back to God. He reasoned that a program of play, learn and pray would make useful citizens of the world. He crowded out evil with reason, religion and kindness in a (what was then unheard of) atmosphere 1 of family spirit. The ideals of St. John Bosco are still with us today. His work goes on Ln boys clubs, technical and academic schools, guidance centers, summer camps and missions. And his very human approach is very evident in the family spirit of the Salesians. This is the way he wanted it. This is the way it is. The Salesian experience isn’t learned — it’s lived. 1 1 l l I 1 1 I n o h c For more information about Salesian Priests and Brothers, mail this coupon to: Father Joseph, S.D.B.
