better basketball material

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.

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.
