it remained for a substitute to play
the hero’s role that night. In a des
perate effort to achieve the proper
combination. Coach Bible began to
shift his forwards. Megarity replac
ed Duckett and when it was evident
that Megarity wasn’t right, Brient
was sent in to replace him. With a
minute to play Keen, with four men
hanging on his arms, boosted a crip
shot onto the ring that rolled off af
ter long hesitation. Then the guards
succeeded in working the ball to
Brient for an easy goal that tied the
score. The whistle blew with the
TWAS SAID:—
| A story is told of a certain Eng-
[ lishman who thought everybody
T knew or ought to know him.
s One day he was walking thru
I a field when a bull addressed
| him in an undertone and made
| for him with his head down.
I He was a man of dignity and
[ political power. But he ran. He
* ran surprisingly well and reach-
I ed the fence before the bull. He
| clambered over, out of breath
? and dignity and found the owner
i of the bull contemplating the
| operation.
f “W|hat do you mean sir,” asked
s the irate politician, “by having
[ an infuriated animal like that
T roaming about the field?”
s “Well, I suppose the bull has
I some right in the field,” said the
I farmer.”
s “Do you know who I am sir?”
i gasped the politician.
[ The farmer shook his head,
s “I am the Right Honorable
I Sir—”
[ “Then why on earth didn’t you
f tell the bull?” said the farmer,
i At this store it doesn’t make
[ any difference how much or how
f little the purchase may be, we
s treat everyone alike, for it is
[ our policy to accord the same
T courteous treatment and prompt
s service to every man, woman or
I child who enters our doors.

score thus tied 19 to 19, requiring an
extra 5 minute period. Both teams
had enough reserve power to carry
them through this extra period and |
the Aggie team was fighting fiercely to
make their comeback count. Brient
counted again, but Willis of Rice tied
it up by a beautifully advanced crip
shot. It was then that Brient received
the chance that made him the star of
the series. Swooping up a loose ball
he dribbled it within shooting distance
and rung up the final counter.

operate with and takes his shots most
successfully.
For the best standing guard we pin
the award on none other than “King”
Gill of the Texas Aggies. Fight-
fight-fight, was the beginning and end
with Gill always, forcing the game
and playing the game with his good-
natured elements predominating. His
ability to break up opponent’s shots
and keeping the ball away from his
section of the court, has made him a
invaluable man to any team. He can
shoot most successfully at critical
times and has that ability to work
with the rest of the team—that one
characteristic that so many good play
ers lack. Gill shoots when no one

else is open—’this lack of individual
ity has made him an outstanding
player. The next best man is Brooks
of S. M. U. who has been playing
a jumping center, then following thru
with standing guard. Some features
of Brooks excell Gill, that being his
ability to rush a man and yet not
charge him. Brooks is a very valu
able man in breaking up shots from
short positions and passes well.
Other men of honorable mention
are: Williamson of Baylor, who has
played a consistent game, but seems
to be slow and lack the ability to
fathom the movements of the oppos
ing team quick enough. Willis of
Rice is a very heady man and shows
great ability in foot work—very
shifty.
As the supreme Coach, there should
be no doubt in any man’s mind, that
being Coach D. X. Bible, followed by
Coach Faulkner of S. M. U.
