Of icourse it is seldom that two
scribes ever agree about the merits
of any of the players when picking
all-Conference players. From the se
lections made, it appears that many
of the scribes saw few of the games
and picked blindly for an all-Confer
ence five. From the games that we
have seen, and we have seen every
club in action, Schoonover is the only
mati that should have the vote of all
the scribes. We have heard that Rose
is good, but he looked anything but
like a basketball player Saturday
r ight. How any writer can leave Hoke
off his selection is beyond us. Hoke,
although he is probably the smaller
of most centers in the Conference,
has not been out jumped this year
even taking the tip from the elong
ated Holt of Arkansas, and has out
played every center in the conference.
He has been consistent in all his
work and in our mind is the outstand
ing- center of the conference, at any
rate the Aggie club.

When asked where they would like
to play since they had to play on a
neutral court, Boswell Dairys cham
pion girls’ basketball team of Fort
Worth yelled “Aggieland” in unison.
Arrangements were finally made with
Business Manager Sullivan for the
game to be played Thursday night in
Memorial Gymnasium. Sullivan was
rather skeptical at firsts realizing
that part of the gym might be torn
down when the beauties of Ft. Woi’th
and Houston clashed in their encoun
ter here. This is the first time that
a champion girls’ team has played
on the Aggie court and we hope not
the last. Bring on the game—the
girls.

AGGIES ROUT TEXAS IN FINAL GAME
OF SEASON, 42-20
KEETON, KONECNY, BROWN, HUNTER END CAREERS.
An inspired Texas Aggie basket
ball team, led for the last time by
their, captain “Burjter” Keeton,
swamped their traditional rivals by
the overw helming count of 42-20 and
ended their season in a glorious man
ner. Texas was held to only four field
gcals, two in each half.
In his last game, Keeton played his
best game of the season and showed
some of his stuff of last year. John
nie Knoecny came through with his
best performance to take second high
scoring honors with nine points. Lef
ty Martin did not start so well, but
finished the game strong. Joe Brown
and Leland Hunter, both squadmen,
finished their careers as Aggie cage-
men also, although they did not get
to see any service in the final game.
Hoke, our pick of the Conference
centers, outplayed any man of the
floor and was high point man of the
game with five field goals and six
free tosses, counting exactly sixteen
points. Konecny came second with
nine, and Keeton third with eight. E.
Taylor of the Texas Crew was high
for his team with six free tosses.
Rose, named by every scribe as an
all-conference forward or center, was
roundly outplayed by Hoke and had
the grand total of one point when
the final whistle blew. However, he
did look the best that Texas had on
the floor, which all means . . .
GIRLS TO PLAY
CHAMPIONSHIP
GAME THURSDAY
FORT WORTH AND HOUSTON TO
MEET HERE FOR FIRST
TIME. v
LEADING I. M. TEAMS DEFEAT
ED
Two upheavals in the Intramural
games last week in the form of vic
tories for the Cavalry over the 1st
Artillery and the Composites over
the Engineers has made the chase
for the Intramural football crowm
even more interesting since two of
the teams can tie for first honors by
winning their respective games and
the leading team, the First Artillery,
can cop the title by a win over the
Engineers. Should the Engineers win
their game and the Composites drop
theirs, the percentage would favor
them, but if the Cavalry cannot stop
the crew of Sudderth and Company
the Engineers and Composites will
tie for the title.
The famous Cavalry offense that
has failed to function since the first
game of the season began function
ing properly in the crucial moment
and just at the time when the First
Artillery had hoped otherwise. A
pass, Harlan to Page proved the
downfall of the Artillerymen. Harlan.
Page, and Bryant were the outstand
ing men of the fray.
The Second Infantry took their
usual beating from the Second Artil
lery by a 19-0 count when the fast
stepping Hilsman crashed over for a
couple of touchdowns and Shippard
added another. Moser was outstand
ing in this game as was shippard
and hilsman. The Second Infantry
has been taking their beatings regu
larly and the First Infantry is liable
to find a fighting crew next week
when they play their final game of
the year.
The Second Artillery has completed
its schedule.
THe Composites pulled the sack

RIFLEMEN WIN AGAIN
Continuing to hit the center of the
bull’s eye, the Texas Aggie riflemen
swept their matches this week with
plenty to spare, winning- a special
five-man match with the University
of Southern California by a score of
1858 to 1840 and winning against
four other schools with a total score
of 3,677 for the ten men firing. Scores
of the other schools: South Dakota
State College, 3,646; University of
North Dakota, 3,627; Georgetown
University, 3,600; and University of
Alabama, 3,532.
To date this has given the Aggies
ten victories without a defeat. This
speaks well for the coaching of Lieu
tenant Nachman and shows that with
proper facilities the Aggie marksmen
can compete with any of the other
college rifle teams in the country.
Last year the old armory had to be
used and the conditions were very
unsatisfactory, yet the Aggies always
placed high in all the meets.
Bethancourt was high man for the
Aggies with a total of 374; Myers
came second with 373. Rhine, Price,
and Janak were the remaining num
ber of the five that fired against Cal
ifornia.
A girls basketball team represent
ing the Boswell’s Dairies of Fort
W^orth will meet a girls team from
Houston on the Memorial Gymna
sium court Thursday night in a game
that will do much in determining
the champion A. A. U. girls team.
The Fort Worth club won the cham
pionship of Fort Worth this winter
and is headed toward the A. A. U.
laurels which will be determined at
Houston.
When the gii-ls were told that
they could play a game on neutral
territory and asked where they
would like to play—Aggieland was
the answer and here they come. It
took a brave heart to allow the
j game to be played in the Memorial
Gymnasium as it is possible that
the Aggie games wilT be played
there next year and with the damage
that possible will be done while the
girls are going through their antics,
Business Manager Sullivan was dub
ious about granting the request for
the use of the gym. However, he will
be on hand to watch the—girls.
The Fort Worth team is built
around former T. C. U. stars. They
liave won 14 games and lost only two
this year. Four members of the teams
are teachers in the public, schools
and five are graduates of T. C. U.
These girls have a • fast breaking

FINAL CONFERENCE STANDING
SPRING BASKETBALL BEGINS
For the first time in the history
of Aggieland, spring training in bas
ketball will be held. It has been com
mon to hold spring football, giving
football nine months of the year, but
this is the first time that spring
practice has been held for the cage
game. Now basketball takes its
place by the side of football in that
it is played the entire year by the
