Aggies Determined To Take Bear Skin In
First Home Conference Game Tonight at 7:30
A rug for the floor—Bear skins!
Such is the cry for the first home
conference cage game tonight.
Few Aggies have seen their
team play and from the reports
fewer may want too but tonight
a determined five will take to the
floor to fight for that final rung
which means crawling out of the
cellar where they now rest with
the Texas Christian Hornfrogs.
Against Rice they played poor
ball. They were together for the
first time on the hard wood floor
—Dawson and Henderson had just
returned from the footfield field.
Up in the Ozarks they ran a-
gainst the Arkansas Razorbacks—
that’s enough said. The Hogs
ought to go through the season
undefeated.
The Bears have a scrapping
squad but lack that certain team
play needed in this game.
Upon returning from the two
game series with the razorbacks,
the Aggies said they wouldn’t drop
a home game.

Rice and Cotton Bowl pictures will
be shown, followed immediately
afterwards by the regular Sunday
free show.
Bill Henderson reached the head
lines of the country in his play of
the Rice fray and in the Cotton
Bowl the Aggies turned back one
of the greatest teams of the East.
Coach Manning Smith’s fresh

Little is known of these players
and the squad is still rather large.
After mid-term the fish should
start playing games before the
varsity contests.
The good part of the game will
be the absence of the gate admis
sion. The Baylor game tonight
will be 50 cents or the regular

Hq. Cavalry Drops E Field Artillery
From Football Championship Race 3 to 0
By Bob Myers
Headquarters Cavalry upset E
Field Artillery’s apple cart this
time when Kincannon made three
points the old fashioned way. With
the game tied up on penetrations,
Kincannon drop-kicked one through
the uprights and
over the cross
bar for the only
score of the game
and at the same
time kicked E
Battery right out
of running for
the football
title.
The San An
tonio boys must
be playing behind the eigth
ball this year because they have
been dropped by a stronger team,
from the final play of almost
every sport in which they have
participated this year.

Both bands took beatings in
football after their trip to the big
city. Judging from the scores, they
must have had a plenty good time.
G Coast Artillery took care of the
Infantry Band 15-0 in semi-final
play and Headquarters Cavalry
dropped the Artillery Band in
quarter final play by the score of
21-6.
Bears Have Two Wins,
One Loss; Ags Blanked
McQuillan’s Men
Fight For Chance
By Bob Myers
Performing before a home crowd
for the first time this season, the
Aggie quintet will take to the re-
juvinated hardwood floor against
Baylor University in the last Con
ference basketball game of the
current semester.
In conference play, the Bears
have two wins under their belt and
are still suffering the stings of a
52 to 32 defeat at the hands of
Rice Institute on January 17.
Scalps drying at Waco are those
of T.C.U. and S.M.U.
After winning from Baylor, the
Owls had their feathers plucked
by the Mustangs to the extent of
their being knocked out of con
ference championship play.
The Aggie’s Conference win
sheet is conspicuously vacant of
numbers but on the other side
are three losses. A double to Ark
ansas and one to Rice Institute.
Coming to Aggieland will be
such stars as Frank Bryski, a
great defensive player, standing
six feet four inches; his six foot
four team mate Joe Frivaldsky
who drops them in from the pivot
position, and Grady Vaughn, five
foot nine inches of controlled cy
clone who plays guard with
Bryski. Joe Terry and Dub Wal
ters will probably complete the
Baylor starting line-up of six
footers.
Probable starting line-up for the
cadets will include three varsity
lettermen and two junior college
transfers. Bill Dawson and J. T.
Lang each have won two year
sweaters and stand six foot five
and six feet, respectively. A one
year letterman, Charlie Steven
son, will take care of a guard posi
tion.
A pair of tall men playing for
the maroon and white their first
season are Fred Nabors, six foot
four and Raymond Jarrett six
foot two. These boys have shown
up well in games to date and will
probably see much service this
year.
Holding down the bench for the
Cadets will be Sammy Dwyer and
Mike Cokinos who are waiting for
mid-term to become eligible.
Prelude to the night game will
be a freshman game against
Beaumont High School here Sat
urday afternoon at 4:00. No ad
mission charged. Varsity game will
be at 7:30 p.m. Admission in lieu of
coupon book will be fifty cents.

Hustle and Fight In Basketball Are
Synonymous With The Name "Frog Duncan”
By Mike Haikin
Whenever hustle and fight are
mentioned, you can be sure that
Harold Duncan’s name will be at
tached there. Duncan, better known
over the campus as “Frog” is one
of the five starters on Coach Hub
McQuillen’s basketball quintet. Dur
ing his two years on the team, he
has added plenty of zeal and pep to
a team that was always fighting
hard to win its share of games.
Frog is a junior college trans
fer, and started his basketball ca
reer at Aggieland late in the fall
of 1938. Since then, he has earned
two letters and has been on the
starting lineup of nearly every
game. His favorite position is for
ward, but asserts he can play
center if he has to. Although not a
great offensive star, he has been
praised continually for his defens
ive ingenuity and excellent floor
work.
Duncan didn’t start playing the
game until his junior year at Kings
ville High School. When asked
why he hadn’t started any soon
er, he retorted with the statement
that he was too little. To look at
.ihis six foot four inch frame one+aver, was when he became elect-
can well imagine that. He is one
of the tallest members of the Aggie
team.
Duncan
k
Besides lettering two years in
high school basketball, Frog also
managed for a couple of letters in
football. His biggest honor, bow
ed co-captain of his cage team.
Concerning his private life, Dun.
can is taking liberal arts and ma
joring in Physical Education. He
is classified as a senior and plans
to be in the army upon graduation.
He will be working for a commis
sion as second lieutenant. He is sec
ond in command of his R.O.T.C.
unit of “C” Infantry.
Frog’s main hobbies, besides bas
ketball, include hunting and fish
ing. “I’d rather do that than eat,”
he smilingly said. As to his politi
cal hero, President Roosevelt is his
choice. “He sure used to be, any
way,” he retortingly said. His fav
orite sport hero caused Duncan to
do some heavy thinking. “I never
thought about that, but I guess
Bill Henderson takes the cake,” he
wistfully replied.
During his off hours, Duncan ca
vorts around the publicity office.
His main job is to take care of
clippings of all of the Aggie ath
letic contests. He enjoys his job
very much, especially to cut out
the clippings in which he is the
hero.
