BAT SELECTION

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.

There’s a certain assurance about

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.
