THE BATTALION 7 BAT SELECTION (Continued from Page 6) of the scribes would place him on their selections, but now—’tis dif ferent. Koch receives the other place. Rose and Schoonover, by their con sistent play during the whole sea son deserve the two wing positions. Pinky Alsabrook, by his sterling play last Thursday, worked his way to a runner-up position and in our minds is as good as Rose-—much better in the Texas tilt. Burnett is the out standing center, with Adkins running him a close rape for the pivot posi tion. Brown of the Bellmen is out standing, but these two men have a slight edge on him. Brumbelow and Hammon are out standing at the tackle posts, while Sanders and Jones are ranked with Happy Tflomentbs When you’re introduced to just about the most gorgeous girl you ever laid eyes on— And she tells you she ADORES a man who dresses with care ful good taste— the top-notchers. Moulden gave a good account of himself in all the games, and should be hanging on the top ring next season. Grubbs is the only quarterback in the conference so he gets that post. We don’t believe a mucn stronger backfield can be built with out MILLS, Leland, and Shelley Wil son and Mason are goo—-but not good enough for the first team. Miller, one of the Conference’ lead ing scorers justly gets a half posi tion. We give Floyd the other full back position because he is the best defensive man in the conference and can run interference to perfection, i Everybody has their own selec tions and this is just one of many— ! so take your choice. I Below is the selection of another Battlaion scribe: Extry! Joe Goose, widely known sports writer of the Battalion staff, will join the ranks of the other dumbbells and pick an all-conference team. Please refrain from tossing the aged chicken fruit and useless vegetables. Here goes: Ends: Rose (Texas) and Schoon over (Arkansas); Tackles, Brumbe low (T. C. U.) and Hammon (S. M. U.); Guards, Richter (Aggies) and Koch (Baylor); Center, Burnett (Tex as); Quarter, Grubbs, (T. C. U.); Left Half, Mills (Aggies) and Mil ler (Arkansas); Right Half, Wilson, (Baylor) and Leland (T. C. U.); fullback, Shelley (Texas). There are a few more that could be easily placed on that team, Upt- moor, gigantic line ramming ace of the Arkansas Razorbacks, is a star of the first calibre, as is Nona Rees, Texas; Kattman (S. M. U.), Mason (S. M. U.); Paradeaux (Baylor); Powell (S. M. U.); Jones (Rice); Adkins (T. C. U.); Brown (Texas); and Long (S. M. U.). Take it or leave it. He will be one of the best next sea son. The whole line played a whale of a game. Charley Richter, the Ags great guard, covered himself with gloi’y in his final game for the Aggies. He was tearing through the Steer forward wall for gains con sistently, busting up plays and mak ing tackles. Joe Brown and Jack Christian, were also causes for no gains in the center of the line. Little Hebe Dorsey, also playing his last game, entered the game at a back post and showed his us ual good form. He is a real loss to the Aggie backfield. There is no use to go on with in dividual praises, for the whole team was in there scrapping. This fact can be evidenced by the way the famed Dexter Shelley, Texas’ all-time fullback, was stopped dead in his tracks. BASKETBALL (Continued from Page 6) STADIUM DEDICATED (Continued from Page 6) And when she remarks how UNUSUALLY good-looking your Florsheim shoes are say—that’s a happy moment you never WILL/brg-et/ There’s a certain assurance about the smart style of Florsheim Shoes which somehow is passed on to the man who wears them—wher ever he goes. And maybe Flor sheim good looks alone won’t win a girl’s favor, but from what we’ve been told—they certainly do help! T. K. LAWRENCE lONroi. Outfitters For Young Men and Men Who Stay Young Playing his last game in a Maroon uniform, Connie rose to the heights of brilliancy with his sparkling end runs and fine defensive work in breaking up passes. It was Conover who grabbed a pass from Alsabrook and ran 20 yards unmolested to give us our second touchdown and a surer margin of victory. It was also Con- c ver who raced 45 yards for a t uchdown against the whole Texas c’cfense, only to be called back 20 yards when the referee claimed he had stepped out of bounds. On an- ! other occasion he tripped through the Steers for a 35-yard run, eluded ! seven would be Steer tacklers, who hit him and bounced off. The now amed lateral pass from Mills to ’onover worked throughout the game for nice gains. Pinky Alsabrook also played a won- | 'orful game, snatching passes at all I angles for substantial ganes. He ac- I counted for the first touchdown when he snared a pass from Mills and fought his way over the goal line with Longhorns crowding him from all angles. He overshadowed the famous Big Un Rose in his wcrk at end Jelly Woodman, a hard driving substitute back, worked like all get the at the fullback post after re lieving Bull Floyd. He plunged the line for numerous gains and blocked and tackled in sensational fashion. at center the Aggies boast of two fine cagers that can be depended on. Brown played center a considerable part of the time last season and should be playing his best this year. Hoke did not come up to the ex pectations of Aggie cage followers last season, but from the stuff he has been showing in practice will strut his stuff this year as he did in 1926 when he played with Heights in the state basketball tournament staged here. The Aggies are weak at the for ward positions and the shoes of Pet ty, Davis, and Webster will be hard to fill. Beard, Carpenter, and Keith were crack freshman forwards and may get the call for the varsity po sitions. The following is the complete bas ketball schedule for this season. Keep it where you can see it and get be hind the Reidmen—you know the trouble Bell had in getting started, this popular new Aggie mentor will experience the same thing and we must help him.
