Kelley Sullivan and Trigg Crawford each scored 15 points to lead the Aggies who upped their season record to 9-7.

The Aggies connected on 55 per cent of their shots from the field and 65 percent of their free throws, compared to 32 percent on field goals and 80 percent free tosses for Trigg Crawford the Kats.

Some of these players are on holarship; others are walk-ons, members. McHugh, an all-state player at Geneva High School, is in his first year at A&M. The 6-3 freshman is majoring in marketing.

This year in addition to helping e league-leading Aggies rest in J lies of runaway games, the Aggie $ nch has also dubbed itself an in- aise pepsquad, led by bench cap itis Bruce Sooter and Jay cHugh. Three players who normally are ated during the games have Ipedthe Aggies on the court and the best shots for starting action n three seniors graduate this ring. All three May graduates are dsand so are these young squad the Aggies’ win over East Texas State, gathering eight points. John Schlicher, a senior guard, is in his final season for A&M.

The scout team is the bunch, who with the bench, must give its time to help maintain the first team, both through constant competition in practice and by serving as a mock- up of teams the Ags are to face. Kenny Morris has been tabbed as captain of the scout team. Morris is a junior accounting major from Texas City. David Barrett of Bryan is a sophomore accounting major. His brother Bryan played for A&M the past several years. Three freshmen are in the scout group. Included is Mike Surman from Clear Lake High School in Houston.
