Aggies Down Horned Frogs By 48-45 Score
HD.’HUB" JOHNSON
BATTALION SPORTS EDITOR
Hard Playing Mustangs vs Determined Ags
Here Tonight; Swimming Team to be on Top
Back come the Mustangs to Col
lege Station.
Last year on the football field
they put grey hair in many a head.
On the cage court they turned
back the cadets 46 to 39.
The Aggies have already dropped
one to the North Texas team but
•will be out to even the score.
A trip to Houston, a contest with
the Rice Owls last night, and the
trip up today should prove too
>6
much for them. The call goes to
McQuillen’s charges in this one.
It’s a strange story—Saturday
night the Aggies and the Dallas
Athletic Club splashed water high
in Downs, Jr., Natatorium, but the
rest of the state has yet to hear
the report.
Harold Hensley and Bob Taylor
should lead the Aggies to their
first conference win in a good many
years.
Harold lowered his pool record
in the 100 yard free style and
dropped the 50 yard free style pool
record .
Bob lowered the conference 220-
yard distance race and swam a fast
440. n
After the meet was over, the
water polo team let their own coach
Art Adamson play against them
with the knowledge of their tactics
and still topped the Dallas Club.
Uncle Billy Disch will not
coach the University’s diamond-
men this spring, and many base
ball men the conference over
will breath a sigh of relief.
Texas should still have the
team to beat and will have the
guidance of one who made one
crack at Aggieland but never
made another, Bibb Falk.

Dawson Is
High Man
With 21 Pts
Frogs, Deep In
Cellar, Have Yet To
Break Win Column
By Hub Johnson
Big Dog Dawson shot ’em wide,
far, hard and close last night to
ring up 21 points and lead the
Aggies to a 48 to 45 win over the
T.C.U. Horned Frogs, keeping
them on the inside of the cellar
door.
Throughout the first half both
teams played loose ball with poor
floor work slowing up the game.
The Aggies took an early lead
and held it throughout the first
period with the score standing
22 to 20 at the half
Back came the Homed Frogs at
the start of the second, deter
mined to make the two pbint
lead of the Aggies change hands
and mark up their first in the
black column.
With a three point lead over
the cadets the Christians slowed
down a bit and Dawson started
again on his scoring spree.
Bannon topped the Aggs with a
long shot but Henderson came
through with a free throw to top
the score 27 all.
From then on the game belonged
to the cadets though the score
grew as close as three points when
Monroe eeked in a close one to
count 43 to 40.
Time and again mother luck
robbed both teams of field goals
as the ball circled the. basket two
three and even four times only to
fall to the rafter-reaching play
ers.
The closing minutes saw the
Frogs try in vain to overtake the
Aggies again but Dawson, Hen
derson, and Dwyer held on to the
lead.

Basketball Team Tangles With SMU
For Second Game In As Many Days
Victory in DeWare Field
House Depends on Stopping
Sebeck and Baccus of SMU
Coach Hub McQuillan’s Texas
Aggies continue to be hosts to
northern clubs, with the hefty S.
M. U. Mustangs being the guests
tonight at the DeWare Field House.
The cadets will attempt to square
the series at one all, as the Mus
tangs lambasted them to a tune
of 43 to 37 in their previous en
counter.
The outcome of the game for
the Aggies will largely depend on
their ability of halting the Mus
tangs’ speed merchants, Johnny
Sebeck and Rusty Baccus. This
combination has clicked numerous
times this season, especially
against the Rice Owls and A. & M.
Virgil (Country) Wilkerson, who
led the legue in scoring last season,
is another one whom the Aggies
should not overlook. Once he gets
hot, there is no stopping ‘‘Country.”
Bryan Lloyd and Grover Keeton
are the other members of the Pony
five.
Meanwhile Coach Hub McQuil
lan will counter with the same
starting lineup that gave the Ag
gies their only two wins. It will
be Henderson and Jarret at For
ward, Dawson at center, and Ste
venson and Nabors at guard. Sam
my Dwyer, who just attained his
eligibility at midterm, will also
see some service.
With the Southwest Conference
basketball virtually socked up by
the undefeated Arkansas Razor-
backs, the battle for second place
becomes the main issue of the race.
Only the lowly T. C. U. Horned
Frogs do not retain even a mathe
matical chance for the No. 2 spot.
The rest of the teams, with the
exception of the Texas Aggies,
have an equal chance to grab off
second place. The cadets’ only
chance is by sweeping the rest of
their schedule, which is proble
matical.

cording to Jimmy Parker.
Proceeds of the show will be
turned over to the T Club.
Texas will have the same team
returning next year and these pic
tures will offer another look at
what the state school will have to
offer for the league honors.

Slimes Defeat
Freshman Basketball
Team by 41-27 Score
In their third game of the seas
on, the Aggie “Fish” bowed to the
Rice “Slimes” last night via a 41
to 27 score.
Although the Fish showed im
provement in their playing, the
Slimes were too flashy for them.
The loss of the game can be
attributed to the inability of the
Fish to make their free shots. They
consistently missed the easy shots.
The Fish are coached by Man
ning Smith.
High point men for Rice were
Herman Walters and Guy Lewis,
each making 10 points.
For A. & M., Jack Robinson of
Houston was high point man with
19 talleys to his credit.
The half time score was 21 to 9.

Swimming Team Hands 41-34 Defeat
To Dallas Athletic Club in Meet Here
Adds Insult to Injury
With 9 to 1 Squelching
In Water Polo Encounter
After snatching a victory over
the Texas Aggies at Dallas, Feb
ruary 8, the Dallas Athletic Club
attempted to make it two in a row,
but found the same ordeal wait
ing for them at the P. L. Downs
Jr. Natatorium, when the cadets
blasted them into submission in a
swimming meet held here Saturday
night, 41 to 34. As a climax to the
meet, the Aggies added insult to
injury by drubbing D.A.C. hand
ily in a waterpolo match, 9 to 1.
Bob Taylor, dynamic Texas Ag
gie sophomore, and Harold Hensley
copped individual honors for the
night, as both proved to be thorns
in D.A.C.’s side. Taylor set up
new records for the natatorium
in the 220 and 440 yard free styles.
In the former one, he came 5.2
seconds under the conference re
cord held by Beeler of Texas Un
iversity, while in the latter one
he came 1.5 seconds under the con
ference record held by Brazwell.
Hensley came through in fine
fashion in the 50 yard free style
at 24 seconds, which is only .5
second under the pool record held
by him. In the 100-yard free style
his time of 55.1 seconds is two
seconds under his own pool rec
ord.
The D. A. C. swimmers battled
hard and never gave signs of giv
ing up, but the Aggie tankers were
out for revenge and weren’t to be
denied. However, D. A. C. outshone
t
the Aggies in a number of events
including the medley race, 100-
yard back stroke, and the 100-yard
breast stroke. Carrying most of
the burden for the Dallas swim
mers was Smoot whose time of 1.
10 in the 100-yard backstroke was
barely short of his record.
As a-final climax to the meet, a
water-polo game was played in
which the Aggies had easy sail
ing all the way. The score was 9
