In the Rice game Bryski, the
Bear ace, limped the forty minutes
on a sprained ankle.
The cadet squad returned from
the Ozarks with the impression
that not only was the Arkansas
crew the tallest in the history of
the school but also one of the
greastest clubs ever seen in the
conference.
In the four conference tilts play
ed the Hogs have made 162 points
or an average of 1.83 points per
minute. Their squad averages six
feet four inches tall.
The first plays of the game Sun
day seemed to spell doom for the
Whites as the heavy Maroon line
ran through and over the Whites
on the defense and offense alike.
E. W. Fuller showed the making
of a great runner in his dashes
through the White line and a-
round the ends.
Slats Holder saved the White
goal line from being crossed in the
first quarter with his breaks
through time and again. On a play
late in the game, the Whites had
taken to the air with Roberts do
ing the tossing. Schwarzenback,
150 pound back for Doc Jones’
gang, intercepted the pass and
started out on another spectacular
run which he offered to the Ma
roons many times during the af
ternoon when from nowhere Hold
er layed a hard tackle on him and
the goal line was saved again.
A. L. Christian was one of the
greatest guards on the field and
turned in some great line play
for the Maroons.
Probably the best player on the
field was Johnny Roberts, back-
from the 1938 Corpus Christi state
champs. He passed and ran the
ball at will, teaming with Lebus,
back from the ’37 state champs of
Longview and Tompkins and Bea
vers to form the White backfield.
Since the game he has been asked
time and again why he never went
out for the varsity squad.
He is still undetermined as to
whether or not he will go out for
spring training. He weighs but
165 pounds but makes that much
really count.
Sunday he played on a pulled
muscle in one leg.
Whites Down Maroons Sunday, 13 to 7
Hogs Top
Two Game
Agg Series
Baylor Game Last
Ladder from Cellar
Slow, fast ball and a high tow
ering Arkansas basketball team
dealt the Aggie cagers a bit of
misery high in the Ozarks this
past week-end as they dropped
their second and third conference
goes under heavy scores.
Friday night they fought des
perately to hold the score down but
gave way to a 68 to 33 score.
Johnny Adams led the Hogs in
their charge with 17 points and a
fine piece of floor work.
Saturday night, again they came
and carried away the honors and
again Johnny Adams took the
lead, dropping one point behind
his previous night’s scoring. The
Aggies tried to keep him away
from the board and the basket but
from fifteen feet he still shot with
great accuracy. Fred Nabors, six
foot four inch junior college trans
fer center, led the Aggies with
eleven points but still the porkers
proved the better with another
high score of 58 to 36.
Only once have the Hogs been
defeated this season. This was a
loss to the semi-pro Phillips 66
team, one which they had prev
iously defeated.
Back to the newly refinished
floor the cagers went yesterday to
prepare for the Baylor Bears this
coming Saturday night.
The Aggies are now deep in the
cellar with the Hornfrogs and will
be fighting for a share of the spot
now held by the Texas Longhorns.
Notes on the book from the gone
by week . . . Johnny Adams is ever
bit the eager he’s told to be ac-
coi'ding to the Aggie squad . . .
Friday he sank 17 points and Sat
urday he collected 16, all from a
distance far from the basket . . .
Doc Jones had trouble with his
numbers Sunday . . .after the Ma
roons scored their touchdown, he
had but ten men on the field . . .
later in the game he had twelve on
as King Moss leaped from the
bench and tackled Bob Duncan on
the goal line at the end of his 60
yard run ... a penalty would have
resulted from the twelfth man and
in no way could have the whites
been given the score . . .
From dormitory twelve way we
hear that as a result of the bene
fit game and the able assistance of
Bob Tubs on the White team, he
and Charlie have been offered the
coaching jobs at Tech (?). Bill

fery in the backfield tossing them
at will to Henderson and Sterling.
At Dallas the Aggies met the
roughest team of their season in
the Fordham Rams. This was a
game missed by many students

Maroons Dominate
Ground Game But Prove
Weak on Pass Defense
Coach Charlie DeWare’s Whites
well proved their worth on Kyle
Field Sunday afternoon with their
fast and deceptive play out-class
ing the Maroon power, 13 to 7.
The star of the game as far as
the win is concerned was Bob
Duncan, a guard who in the first
58 seconds of the fourth quarter
broke through to block and then
catch E. W. Fuller’s pass and run
60 yards for the winning touch
down. On this run King Moss jump
ed from the Maroon bench to run
across the field in an attempt to
stop Duncan.
Teams Evenly Matched
In the first quarter both teams
seemed to be evenly matched al
though the Maroons ran through
the White line almost any time
they pleased. The first talley of
the game was made by the Maroons
in this quarter but was called
back due to both teams being off
side.
Taking to the air at the start
of the second quarter, both teams
threw them far and wide, with
the Maroons proving weak on the
defense.
Maroons Score
Robert’s punt was blocked as
the Maroon line came charging
through fast and the Jones charges
took over on the White 26. T. O.
Mann passed to H. F. Schwarzen
back, who caught the ball after
“Big John” Tompkins in an attempt
to block the pass knocked it high
er in the air. C. D. Elwell’s kick
was good for the extra point. The
half ended 7 to 0 with the Maroons
holding the lead.
Whites Come Back
Hitting the field with inspiration
in their play, the Whites opened

“Big John” Tompkins, found his

ball right in “Big John’s” waiting
arms. Tompkins stepped over with
the ball and the count then read,
7 to 6.
Slats Holder, White Center who
played great ball backing up the

If you have ever wondered how
A. & M. came to have so many a-
wards in the trophy case, well C.
A. Lewis is the Aggie responsible
for some of them. “Ears”, as he is
called by his friends for a reason
you can very well see, is captain
of the pistol and rifle team.
“Ears” began shooting on the
pistol team his sophomore year,
and made a very excellent show
ing, winning with L. C. Kennemer,
the Kaufman trophy. The Kauf
man trophy is the large gold a-
ward with the symbolic cowboy
on top of it. Lewis received his
first letter this season.
His Junior year he again won
the Kaufman trophy, this time
shooting with Bob Shiels. C. A.’s
ambition is to beat L. C. Kenne
mer. At the end of the year, all
points are averaged and for the
past two years, Kennemer has had
a greater point average than
Lewis. Last year Kennemer beat
Lewis by .4 of an average point.
The pistol team, which Lewis
-fcaptains, has two national titles-fprobably to be shot sometime in
to its credit and has not lost a col
legiate match in two years.
“Ears” was also a member of
the rifle team that won the Hearst
Trophy for proficiency of rifle
firing.
Concerning his senior year,
“Ears” has not begun fire with
the rifle or pistol team due to the
fact that a suitable range is not
yet available. A return match with
T.S.C.W. is now in the offing.
February.
“Ears”, who is six feet tall, is a
very modest fellow. In fact, his
reticence is amazing. He always
wants to put in a good word for
the other fellow. His hobbies are
shooting pool and “bull”. Lewis is
taking work in Accounting, and
on graduation will go into the
Army.
Lewis is unusual in the fact that
he hails from a town that is very
well known to all Aggies—College
Station. C. A. is a Captain on the
staff of F Battery Coast Artillery.
“Ears” is at loss to talk about his
private life, but he finally made
this statement. “I prefer brunettes
to all other forms of entertain
ment.”
Holding the job of captaining
two fine teams is quite a task, but
C. A. Lewis is just the man that
can do it. The pistol and rifle
teams can well expect to go far
this year, and tyro shooters would
profit much to follow his example.
