better basketball material SPORT FODDER A cA If last fall’s football race was screwy, this winter's basketball season promises to be still worse. Early predictions had Arkansas, ‘Texas and Rice heavy favorites with the Arkansas Hogs in the lead. T. C. U., Baylor and A. & M. were to fight for the cellar. Now .along comes Baylor and beats Ar- kansas in a game at Fayetteville, .and both T. C. U. and S. M. TU. ‘trim the Longhorns. That makes ‘it look very, very dreary for “Hub” McQuillan’s Aggies unless they can start a little upsetting of their own. Dale Frieberger, the six foot ‘nine inch junior college transfer who was doped to star at center for the cadets this winter proves again that there is a big jump be- tween the minor and the major leagues in college circles. He is playing regularly and will continue ‘to do so, but he needs a year or two of seasoning before he can ‘hope to reach his “Tops,” and by that time he will have completed ‘his eligibility. Just why the Aggies fail to get is ia mystery; or if the cadet material is on a par with others, why it fails to develop is running poor “Hub” McQuillen nearly crazy. One thing is certain, any basketball weakness is not through lack of capable coaching. McQuillen’s long success- ful record in basketball coaching speaks for itself. He is having the same experience suffered at A. & M. by John Reid, another highly capable basketball coach and his predecessor. ~ There is no conference competi- tion in tumbling, but if there was the Aggies would be tops. Walter Penberthy’s tumbling squad, per- forming between halves at basket- ball games, has been a big hit for several years and the boys are real- ly good. William D.

Basketball After dropping their first two conference games to Rice and Tex- as, Hub McQuillan’s Aggie basket- teers found their shooting eyes and defeated Baylor and the loop-lead- ing Rice Owls to go into a tie with several others for second place in the league standing. S. M. U. leads the conference by a frac- tional margin in the wildest court race seen in many moons. Long range sniping by Captain Ed Lee and the versatile Johnie Morrow played an important part in the Aggie’s victory over Baylor at Waco. The Rice Owls, confer- ence favorites, were beaten in a wild and wooly game at College that brought memories of old time basketball. Two players were ban- ished from the floor for rough play and at the close of the game a brief flurry of fisticuffs gave the customers an’ added thrill. There were no casualties. Apparently the race for confer- ence court honors will be a dog- fight right down to the finish line, with every team having a chance remaining for the title.
