Rice Owls Hot In Win

Saturday night saw the Aggies
jump into the fire as they ran up
against the Rice Owls. On top of
that Frank Carswell, five foot
eleven inch guard from Houston,
seemed to be the hottest coal of
the fire box.
Carswell missed the scoring rec

Maroons And
Whites Have Hard
Practice Sessions
Both Virgil Jones’ Maroons and
Charlie De Ware’s Whites have
narrowed down to playing size
teams now and hard practice ses
sions are under way for the ap
proaching charity football game
Sunday.
The Maroons, made up of men
from Corps Headquarters, Engi
neers, Infantry, Chemical Warfare,
and Signal Corps, will throw on
the field a heavy power house of
fensive. They started work last
Saturday and held their second
session Sunday.
With a line averaging 200 pounds,
the Whites will have a lighter back-
field and will depend upon speed,
passes and a bit of deception. Fri
day saw them get an early start but
rest was called for Sunday. Yester
day afternoon they started out
strong again with study on plays
on the calender.
Jimmie Parker, manager of the
varsity football team, has taken
over the duties of property man.
Yesterday afternoon he was swamp
ed with the job of issuing the
uniforms to both teams.
Pete Wehner, student commander
of the band, has announced that the
band will enter the gates as a whole
but will split into the Field Artil
lery Band and the Infantry Band
and each take their respective
seats after playing the “Spirit of
Aggieland.”
Friday the two coaches and a few
of their players will be interview
ed on the clambake over WTAW.
the Rice Owls by only one point.
He was out of the game six min
utes. With this precious time he
could have easily run the record
much higher.
Friday the Aggies will jump
again from the fire box as they
meet the high towering Arkansas
Razorbacks far up in the ozark
Hills. The hogs have claimed two
games from the Texas Longhorns,
50 to 38 and 44 to 34. These two
came this past week-end after the
tea sippers had defeated the Rice
five 48 to 37.
John Adams who as a sophomore
led the league in the scoring race
but had to drop out last year due
to a broken foot will be the threat
of the Razorbacks. So far this
year he is second only to Carswell.

The charity games comes up
Sunday and a good contest is prom
ised by the coaches.
On the Texas-Texas Aggie game
in Austin last year we’ve read the
following:
“Several of our colored citizens
were disappointed because Texas
University beat A. & M. Thursday.
I was glad, and didn’t mind saying
so. The Aggies, in general repre
sent the poor class of white people;
the boys from Austin are usually
the cream of the crop. It doesn’t
take any dissention on the sub
ject to bring out the point that the
Negro has more to hope for from
the better class, So, whenever the
two types meet, I’m always for
that group.”
The above was taken from some
L. I. Brockenbury’s column in the
“Informer”, a Beaumont paper for
the colored.

clusions.

Baylor University
Will Hold Badminton
Tournament Feb 6th
WACO, Jan. 14—Plans for the
second Texas Intercollegiate Bad
minton Tournament, which is to
be held February 6th and 7th in
Waco, were announced this week
by Dr. L. N. Douglas, Baylor
University Physical education di
rector.
The tournament, which was a big
success last year, will again be
held on the nine championship
courts on Baylor’s modern Rena
Marrs McLean gymnasium.
Abilene Christian College walked
off with all championship awards
last year after a long battle with
bird-batters from the Univers
ity of Texas and Baylor, and com
petition is expected to be even
more spirited this year.
All bona-fide students, both men
and women, are eligible to enter.
Play will be held in men’s sin
gles and doubles; women’s sin
gles and doubles; and mixed doub
les.
Individual awards will be given
to winners in each division, and
cups will be awarded to winning
men’s and women’s teams. Maxi
mum number of players allowed
on a team will be eight single
players and four doubles teams.
Abilene Christian College, Un
iversity of Texas, Hardin-Simmons,
Texas State College for Women,
Oklahoma A. & M. and Baylor have
already indicated that they would
participate in the meet and sev
eral more leading colleges were
expected to send their entries this
week.
Entries must be in by February
1 and can be sent to Douglas at
Baylor.
seems to be the schedule of the
Aggie cagers. Saturday night they
fell hard to the Rice Owls, 68 to
34, and Friday they meet the league
leading Arkansas Razorbacks in
Fayetteville.
Earlier in the week the Houston
five had been downed and tram
pled by a scrapping bunch from
Texas. Saturday night saw the
Owls coming back fast on the re
bound and determined to stay in
the favorite class for the confer
ence bunting.
Frank Carswell led the bayou
boys and scored half the points—
exactly enough to tie the Aggies.
Jitterbug Henderson, playing be
fore a home crowd, failed to reg
ister his marks but came through
the duel with ten points to his
name. Ray Jarrett, fast cadet for
ward, also racked up ten points
to even up with Henderson as
second high scorers.
Early in the game—the first
two minutes—the Owls led by only
one point but Carswell increased
the lead with nearly every shot.
It was Rice’s game all the way and
the Aggies were trying to climb a
hard ladder.
Arkansas Potent
The Razorbacks Friday and Sat
urday claimed two wins from the
Longhorns in Austin.
Towering high in the air, the
porkers were spirited by Johnny
Adams and Howard Hickey.
Adams was high point man in the
conference two years ago but was
out most of the season in ’40 with
a foot injury. Hickey was named
all-conference guard last year. He
is therefore the shortest regular
starter on the squad.
Only one team has downed the
Hogs. This was the strong Phillips
66 five of Bartlesville, Oklahoma.
