The race this year has been exceptionally close with all teams, down from S.M.U. to Arkansas and Rice, showing un usual aggressiveness. No team really had a “breather”— that being one of the main factors of the increased interest in basketball this year. Because of that particular close ness of the conference race, it is a bit difficult to pick an all conference team that will appeal to everyone, but the team I’m going to pick is one that has gained at tention from many other papers. There are two players that can not possibly be left out. They are Bob Kinney of Rice and Dwight have the basketball ability of Hen derson. R. C. Pitts of Arkansas was the sparkplug of the Razorbacks throughout the season, being an instrumental factor in winning games while Coach Glen Rose’s boys were crippled, and so gets a well-deserved forward spot. Dwight Parks was a cinch at one 2nd Team Adams (Arkansas) Sebeck (S.M.U.) Gloss (Rice) -Humphries (T.C.U.) Hargis (Texas) Carpenter (Arkansas) Alternate Cokinos (A. & M.) 1st Team Pos. Henderson A. & M F.._ Pitts (Arkansas) F-_ Kinney (Rice) CL.. Parks (Baylor) G— Palmer (Rice) G_ Parks of Baylor. Each was the predominant factor in his team’s victories, while at the same time winding up 1-2 in the scoring race. Baylor wound up third in the race, but I doubt if they’d have beaten S. M. U. if it wasn’t for the little Elkhart hustler. Just throw him in with Texas, A. & M., T. C. U. or Arkansas, and the championship would be theirs for the asking. The other three men were a bit harder to assimilate. Bill Hender son gains a forward spot, because he was the biggest part of the Aggie team. However, he just does beat out O’Neal Adams of Arkan sas for the spot. Adams was a big cog in Arkansas’ championship drive, but, in my mind, does not guard post, but the other was well distributed. There was Mike Cok inos of A. & M., Gordon Carpenter of Arkansas, Chet Palmer of Rice, and Max Humphries of T. C. U. who had done exceptionally well. However, after due deliberation, I decided to give the spot to Palmer because of his smooth and aggres sive playing all season, especially against the Aggies while down here. There were many other boys who deserved to gain much men tion such as Ray Jarrett of the Aggies, Tom Tomlinson of S. M. U., Placido Gomez of Rice, Les Sanders and Mai Kutner of Texas, Bob Honea of Arkansas, Bill (See KYLE FIELD, Page 4) Taylor Loses, But Ags Down DAC Here, 48-36 Green of Dallas And Cowling of A&M Set New Records in Meet Saturday Bobby Taylor, A.&M.’s dynamic swimming ace, suffered his first defeat in his varsity career, but Coach Adamson’s tankers still had enough guns left to sink the Dal las Athletic Club, 48-36 at the P. L. Downs Jr. Natatorium Sat urday night. Little 16 year old Danny Green of DAC, in beating Taylor in the 220 and 440 yard free styles, broke both pool records in the events. In the former, he made a time of 2:16.9, while in the latter, he made the time of 4:59.6, which exceeds the old record by 18.4 seconds. Bob Cowling, sophomore ace, was sparkplug of the Aggie swim mers, winning the 100-yard breast stroke, and contributing consider ably in the relay events. He set a new record in the breast stroke with the time of 1:6.8 seconds. Here is the record of the meet: 300-yard Relay—A&M (Conway, Cowling, Loomis). Time—3:16.6. 220-yard free style — Green (DAC), Taylor (A&M), Winters (A&M) Time—2:16.9. 50-yard free style—McKee (A. & M., Looney (DAC) and Mont gomery (DAC), tied. Time—25.2.

Aggies Meet Oklahoma Sooners Here In Two Game Series March 12 and 13 The Texas Aggie nine, having already copped two games, will be seeking their third victory of the year when they face the Okla homa University Sooners here in a two-game series, March 12-13. Coach Lil Dimmitt announced that the game scheduled with Bay- town for March 14 has been called off. The fact that the Oilers are not organized as yet was given as the primary reason, Saturday afternoon, the team went through a preliminary work out that included an intra-squad game between the “A” and “B” squads, which was won by the former, 4-2. It was a seven inning INTRAMDRALS By MIKE MANN Dub Oxford, the usual writer of this column, is taking off from the usual grind today. Dub was married to Miss Nan Pinchback of Beaumont Saturday night.

(See INTRAMURALS, Page 4) affair, with Captain John Scog gins’ team pushing over two runs in the fourth and fifth frames to cop the francas. Pitching again proved efficient, while hitting still stood out as the weak link of the team. The boys show an ability to wield a heavy bat, but as yet have not developed that characteristic sufficiently. Most of the hits Saturday were of the infield variety, with only one blow of the afternoon going for a double. Sam Porter and Ira Glass led the attack for the A team while the B team hits were evenly distributed. Charlie Stevenson started on the mound for the “B” team and Hen ry Lindsey toed the slab for the other side. Stevenson held his op ponents to one run and three blows in four innings while Lindsey al lowed two runs and five hits. Lefty Shuford replaced Lindsey and Smokey Carden took Stevenson’s place and both pitched credible ball. Shuford again stood out with his seemingly slow or “cripple” ball, striking out for batters. Coach Dimmitt indicated that much time will be spent on batting practice hereafter to prepare the boys for their first conference game, March 20, against the Bay lor Bears. Ags, San Marcos, Sam Houston In Meet Here Friday Texas Longhorns Nose Out Cadets by Small Margin in Border Olympics at Laredo Coach Dough Rollins’ Aggie track, back after a successful jaunt in the Border Olympics at Laredo this past week-end, will face the Sam Houston State Teachers and the San Marcos Teachers in a tri angular meet here Friday, March 13. A determined bid by the Aggie thinly clads to grab top honors in the Border Olympics last Friday night nipped in the bud by the fav ored Texas Longhorns who nosed out their rivals by the slim mar gin of 2% points, 40-37%. Slender Mac Umstaddt proved the difference as he copped the half and quarter miles and added valuable points in a relay stunt to bring him a total of 10% points for high man of the meet. Captain Roy Bucek, ace hurler of the Cadet team, was nosed out in his specialty by speedy Pete Owens of Howard Payne, who, in cidentally, tied the record in the 120-yard high hurdles with a time of 14.3. He also tied the record for the 100-yard dash in the col lege division with a time of 9.5. This, however, was in the prelim inaries, Owens being defeated in the finals by Metcalf of Oklahoma A. & M.
