Batt All-Conference Cage Team Evenly
Divided Bewteen Rice, Ark, Baylor, and Ags
Basketball is now a forgotten sport in the Southwest
Conference, but the final flare of dust always gathers the
predominant factors of the season—in other words, the All-
Southwest Conference team .
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

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.

& M., Looney (DAC) and Mont
gomery (DAC), tied. Time—25.2.

ens (A&M), Baird (A&M).

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

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.

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.
