Frosfa Open Basketball Season Tonight at 6

By LARRY SMITHThe tip-off of Fish basketball

starts tonight in G. Rollie White Coliseum at 6 as the Fish take on one of the toughest junior college teams in the nation—the Kilgore Rangers.

This will be the first game of the season for the Fish. The Ran­gers are unbeaten thus far this season with one decisive victory over the SMU Colts, 117-65.

The Rangers are rated by some to have as good better team this season than they had in 1958 when they had the number one junior college team in the nation. The Aggies’ Stanley twins played for Kilgore in 1958.

Split Last YearLast year the Fish and the Ran­

gers split, each winning one game. Kilgore won the first one, 67-62, with the Fish taking the second, 65-53.

Although the Fish are lacking in height compared to the last few years, they have speed and the will to fight for rebounds. The two starting guards for the Fish will be Bennie Lennox of Clear Creek and Dave Johnson of San Antonio Alamo Heights. Lennox is considered by some to be the best boy to come out of Texas high

school basketball last year. He is tion a two-time All-Stater and All- American. Johnson is the hustler and playmaker of the squad.

At forwards for the Fish will be Lynn Merritt of Robstown and Cecil Ferguson of Houston Smiley. Merritt averaged 27 points per game his senior year at Robstown High School and was a AAA All- Stater. Ferguson is the fastest man on the squad and has a fine jump shot.

One Tall ManBill Robinette, 6-6, of Port Ar-.

thur, will start at the center posi-

for the Fish. Robinette is the tallest man on the team and is a good shooter.

Two rpen who are expected to see considerable action are Ray Poncho of Atlanta and Chuck Mc­Guire of Dallas Jesuit. Poncho is the most improved man on the squad with his biggest asset being his quickness. McQuire is another leader and possesses a good jump and set shot.

Big Morris Schafer of Freder­icksburg is another man who has been improving daily. He is 6-5% and weighs 205.

Hog Hopes Dimmed; Rhoden’s Ankle Ails

By The Associated PressThe Arkansas Razorbacks, one

of the teams figured to be in the thick of the Southwest Conference scramble this season, worried to­day about one of their big basket­ball stars—senior Clyde Rhoden.

Arkansas trimmed. North Texas 94-80 Thursday night at Fayette­ville, but in the process Rhoden

suffered a badly sprained ankle late in the game and may be lost for some time.

Rhoden, who averaged 16.2 points last season, was a key in the Razorback team which has most of its stars back from a year ago when it finished fourth in the conference, tied with Texas Tech.

Vibrant Bob Rogers, A&M’s basketball mentor who hoarsely demands perfection of his cagers at each outing, will be at it again tonight.

The vigorous boss of A&M hardwood fortunes has estab­lished himself as a popular and colorful figure at Ag round- ball contests. And this evening will be no exception as the Cadets unveil an unmannerly reception for the Centenary Gentlemen in G. Rollie White Coliseum.

But what makes Rogers even more pleasing to the A&M Followers is the caliber of teams that have been molded since his advent here in 1957. In the past three years the A&M hardwood destiny has ascended from the depths of the Southwest Conference to the role of consistent contenders.

Even though the Cadets have been denied the coveted SWC trophy, they have stayed in the scramble until the final loop game. Since 1957, Rogers has compiled a 45-27 record; been in the midst of the SWC flag chase two years; and carted home two—the last two—SWC Pre-Season Tourna­ment cups.

Most of the spectators attending A&M contests in the Coliseum are aware of Rogers’ characteristic reaction: leap­ing off the bench, stomping his right foot and slamming a white towel to the floor. But what spectators are oblivious of—and certainly wonder about—is what the sturdy coach is saying during hectic moments of the game.

His audible comments, generally, are calling to his play­ers. All the performers are called by their first name and Rogers simply cries a name and brief instructions:

“Carroll, slow down!”“Wayne, set it up!”“Pat, play it cool!”“Don, take your time!”“Jerry, run the play!”Then Rogers, apparently assured the performers will

obey, calmly sits down until another crisis arises.After the game, Rogers undergoes an almost magical

transistion. He seems to abandon all the tensions of the previous 40 minutes of competition.

For instance, after the victory over the University of Houston last Tuesday Rogers merely pounded his fist in his hand, nodded his head, shook hands with the opposing coach and slowly walked off the floor.

You can expect the same tonight.And if the Ags don’t annex their third win of the infant

season, it won’t be due to nonchalant reactions by Coach Bob Rogers.

Why not go out and have a closer look ?

SWC Recommendation Seeks To End Frosh Transfers

Free Kao DRIVE INN FreeFREE MALT OR SHAKE

With The Purchase Of One 35^ Rao-Burger (!4 lb- of meat)

By The Associated PressDALLAS — Southwest Confer­

ence athletic directors and foot­ball coaches recommended Thurs­day that there be no transfers of freshman athletes who have ac­cepted financial assistance.

In a drastic move aimed at keeping athletes in schools that had given them scholarships, the officials asked the conference to do away with a rule that provides for transfer of freshman athletes by unanimous vote of the confer­ence faculty committee.

The present rule allows a boy to transfer and compete at an­other member school two varsity years after laying Put one year, if the conference gives full ap­proval.

If the faculty committee, which opens its winter meeting Friday, adopts the recommendation of the coaches and athletic directors, it will mean that a boy who has competed in football at one school cannot go to another and compete.

Coaches and athletic directors a}so moved to cut down on recruit­ing visits. They agreed that in the future talent scouts would make only two visits to prospec­tive athletes before the legal signing date of-Mar. 15 and two afterward.

The officials said this was aimed at taking pressure off an athlete bothered by the scouts flocking in while he still was competing in high school.

The coaches agreed that in the future they would not attend high school track meets in Texas in which college teams were not par­ticipating. The State Interschol­astic League meet, however, would be an exception.

Coaches long have had an agree­ment that they will not contact a boy who is in a high school con­test, but visits to the contests by the coaches usually resulted in contact being made, on the part of the coach or the athlete.

Thus, the coaches decided they would remove all temptation and chance by just staying away from the contests.

These agreements are not sub­ject to approval by the faculty committee in order to be oper­ative.

The athletic directors, all coach­es and business managers of ath­letics met this morning to work up recommendations to the faculty committee, which holds its first session Friday afternoon.

A question of whether Frank Broyles, Arkansas coach, violated the conference “gag rule,” which

forbids a coach to make public statements about the officiating in an athletic contest, is due to be the hottest topic for the faculty committee.

Broyles publicly criticized the officiating in the Arkansas-Missis- sippi game, claiming the winning field goal did not go between the goal posts.

Wichita Falls, Bellville, White Oak: Solid Semi-Final Favorites

Three games Friday-night and five Saturday will send the rollick­ing Texas schoolboy football race into its four-way finals.

Texas, Alabama Working Daily For Bowl Clash

By The Associated PressThe Texas Longhorns got out­

doors Thursday for the first time since Monday. Coach Darrell Roy­al promised the Steers an extra practice session Saturday.

Texas meets Alabama Dec. 17 in the Bluebonnet Bowl at Hous­ton.

The Texas eleven worked out in pads in drizzly, 43-degree weather.

Tuesday and Wednesday Royal kept his men indoors watching films of Coach Bear Bryant’s Ala­bama team in action.

“That’s an awfully tough team,” Royal said. “They go after you and they love to hit.” Royal said his squad is in top physical condi-' tion.

Alabama’s crimson Tide worked in pads for about two hours Thurs­day in preparation for the Blue­bonnet Bowl.

The Tide rehearsed offense and defense, with some blocking and tackling drills. Coach Paul Bry­ant said “We didn’t do much.”

Fullback Billy Richardson suf­fered a pulled muscle, but the injury wasn’t considered serious.

ticators aren’t too sure about all of them.

Wichita Falls meets Fort Worth Paschal and Miller battles Port Arthur in the Class AAAA semi­finals. Both games are scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday—at Wichita Falls and Corpus Christi, respect­ively.

Wichita Falls is a heavy favor­ite to remove Paschal and roll on with its 13th straight victory. The Port Arthur-Miller game is rated a toss-up between two once-beaten teams.

Class AAA is rather uncertain about both of its games—Cleburne at Port Lavaca Friday night and Brownwood vs. Jacksonville at Waco Saturday afternoon.

Cleburne, however, is a mild choice to beat Port Lavaca al­though playing on the latter’s home field. Brownwood appears to have more momentum at pres­ent than Jacksonville, which has been hanging oh the edge for two weeks in a row.1

Class A A has the feature game of the state—unbeaten, untied Denver City and Olney in a clash at Snyder Saturday night. It will follow the Bellville-Devine battle at Austin Friday night. Bellville, unbeaten and untied, is expected to gallop through.

Olney, rated No. 1 in the state all season, faces one of the high­est scoring teams in Texas school­boy history in the point-mad crew from Denver City.

In the other Class A semi-final, White Oak, an unbeaten but once- tied East Texas power, clashes with Crosby, a four-time loser, at Liberty Saturday night. Crosby has ridden a trail of upsets into the penultimate round.
