Texas Wins Last
Game From A & M
Bringing the 1931 basketball season
to a close, the re-inspired University
of Texas Longhorns rallied in the clos
ing seconds of play to win from the
Texas A & M cagers by a 29-28 score
in Austin Saturday night.
This game brought to a close the
career of two members of the Aggie
basketball team, Captain Shiro Hoke,
center and Beau Bell, forward.
The Aggies took the lead in the ear
ly part of the game and held it until
the final minutes of the game. The
first three quarters of the game were
dull and uninteresting to the specta
tors, but with only a few minutes to
go, Price, Texas forward, sank a shot
to put the Steers in the lead by a 26-25
score. Charlie Beard looped a basket
to return the Aggies lead.
With just a few seconds to go, Tay
lor, a Texas guard, sank an easy shot
that won the game. Moody was the
outstanding player of the A & M team
in both floor play and high scoring.
He was high point man of the game
with 14 points; Taylor of Texas was
next with 8 points.
This was the final game for both
quintets.

tangs were never again in the lead,

T C U came back in the second half
to jump into a lead that practically
settled the game. With seven minutes

on fouls.

long shots, but few of them went
through for points. With but four min
utes to go the Frogs began a stalling
game in which they merely passed the
ball around. The Ponies were unable
to break through this and the game
ended 37-28.
Reynolds of T C U and Roberson of
the Mustangs tied for high point hon
ors with 11 each.

Sports Bits—

believe that Hoke is the best man of
the two even though Dietzel led the
conference in scoring. Hoke is the
better player of the two. Dietzel is,
extremely lucky at hitting the basket
fi’om almost any position, but in
playing their respective positions,
Hoke holds the advantage. Hoke is
a hard man to guard, an excellent
jumper, a good man for scoring and
defensive work.
