By LARRY SMITH Battalion Sport?? Editor Texas’ ill-mannered Longhorns, backed by the usual tactics of trash-throwing’, and fighting and “poor Aggie” cries, won a heated Southwest Conference basketball contest last night in Gregory Gym, 64-57. With 2:29 remaining in the first half, a slug fest broke out when two Longhorns, Jack Dugan and Mike Humphrey, and Aggie Ron Durbon squared off. Some of the 7,500 fans poured on the floor and more fights commenced. When it was all over, Texas’ Coach Harold Bradley asked the crowd to please stop throwing trash on the court and the highly-spirited group settled down.

Broussard Cut Aggie ace Carroll Broussard, who was high for A&M with 13 points, was the only casualty from Shorthorns Defeat Ag Frosh, 71-68 The on-again, off-again Aggie Fish were helped to another off performance last night in Gregory Gymnasium as the Texas Shorthorns took advantage of a highly-partisan crowd to edge them, 71-68. Texas ran its season record to five wins against no defeats with the victory. The Fish are now 2-4 for the route. A&M led briefly in the opening moments, • 1-0, on a free throw. But the aggressive Shorthorns quickly gained the lead and were never headed. At one time they led by as much as 10 points. The smallest margin in the second half came with 1:02 remaining, when the score was 69-68. A Texas free throw attempt was wild, but they controlled the rebound and dropped in a quick two points to end the game. Jake Carter was the leading scorer for Texas with 22 points. Paul Timmons of Clear Creek led the Aggie scoring with 19, followed by teammate Jay Baker of Aldine with 17 points. Fish Center Tim Timmerman continued his domination of the boards, pulling down 13 rebounds to lead in that department. He also contributed seven points in the losing effort. As a team, the Shorthorns nudged the Fish aside in the rebound category, managing to pick off 49 to the Aggie freshmen’s 46.

He sustained a gash over his eye as a result from an angry Longhorn’s flying fist. “The fans at A&M wear halos compared to the fans over here,” Tommy Blake, A&M’s sports publicity director said after the game. “Sure the crowds are loud at Aggieland, but they don’t act like hoodlums and start fights and throw cups and paper.” Free throws again spelled the reason for the Aggie def&eat. Texas hit on 24 out of 31 charity attempts while A&M was only making 15 out of 25. From the field the Longhorns made good on 38.5 per cent (20 of 53) and the Aggies hit on 21 out of 58 attempts for a 36.2 per cent. In the rebound department, the Aggies were victorious as they grabbed 46 while Texas got 42. Jerry Windham was the leader with 15 rebounds. Broussard was next with nine. The Aggies led only one time throughout the game and that was 1-0. Then a few minutes later the Cadets tied the game at 11-11 on a jump shot by Tommy Smith, who dropped in 10 points. At 12:00 left in the first half, Texas’ Butch Skeete, the game’s top scorer with 17 points, hit a jumper to make the score 13-11. The ‘Horns were never behind from there to the end. At the halftime recess, the Longhorns prevailed, 35-29. Cadets Sliced Score Twice in the second half the cadets sliced the score to within one point on field goals by Bennie Lenox, but on each occasion the Steers spurred ahead by seven points. The Aggies now have a 9-5 record for the season and 3-2 in SWC play. Texas has a 9-4 season mark and are 2-2 in SWC competition.
