Cookin' BY winner Ha-lea- JOE WATTS °tah 85-8- COACII LADELL ANDERSEN is in his fourth season at the helm of Aggie basketball and his teams have been setting new records individually or collectively every season LaDell’s current record now stands at 71 wins with 32 losses for a 689 winning percentage After the loss to Utah last week his percentage dropped below 700 for the first time in his coaching career With Andy on the bench the Aggie fans are not accustomed to losing Hhis home court record stands at 42 wins and Only 7 losses with three of those coming this year 1IIS FIRST SEASON at Utah State and the last in the old Skyline Conference was one of his most successful seasons He finished in second spot In the Skyline but represented the conference in the NCAA playoff contest as a result of Utah lneligiblity His squad downed Arizona State to gain the Western Finals in Provo but lost to UCLA and Pepperdine in the tourney The team went into the tourney with a 226 record and finished the season with a 22-- mark The second year LaDell finished with a 20-- mark after losing to Arizona State in an overtime affair in an attempt to gain the Western Finals of the NCAA This team shot 445 from the field to establish a new school shooting record Last Reason the Aggies finished with a 216 mark They downed Arizona State in the playoff game 9260 and then tat to San Francisco and Seattle in the Western Finals This team set the single game scoring record as well as the season scoring record for Aggie teams They hit 125 points against American University and tallied 2527 points in 29 games for an 887 average 7 7 LADELL’S RECORD HAS been nothing but enviable The Aggie basketball teams have been nationally ranked for the most part of the past few seasons and have brought much national attention to the universiy This year’s Aggie team is also setting records mostly the kind LaDell doesn't like to set They have lost more games in a season than any other LaDell Andersen team They are presently losing more than they are winning which is the first time during any part of any previous Andersen season the loses have been ahead of the wins They are now in the longest losing streak by any Andersen team six but are at home this week to snap that record This year’s Aggie team is the weakest defensive team of all Andersen teams allowing 858 points per game for their opponent and allowed 120 in one contest BUT THERE IS ALSO a bright side to the records bing set by this year's Aggie team They could set a new scoring record for a team during the season They are currently shooting at a 886 per game average The record was set last year at 887 This year’s Squad has broken Into the “Century Club” four times with the 118 points In losing to Boston College as the highest output of the season The record was set last year at five times for scoring over 100 points Of course Wayne Estes is setting all sorts of Individual records His scoring average for the season will be a new individual high mark and he has already set a career scoring mark for an Aggie and is increasing that mark every outing 76-3- 9 89-5- at-lar- ge ot post-seaso- 82-7- Steady Billy Casper Wins Bob

fluke for Coach Dick Romuey's States as they worked their hearts out during the efltire games playing brilliant ball and a flashing a snappy offensive as well' as bottling up the Redskin attack By
