TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 13, 1945 THE BATTALION PAGE 3 # * * * i * i Ags Lose To SMU And TCU; Play Baylor Here Wednesday Lose to S. M. U. In Dallas By 73-43; Horned Frogs Win With 50-42 Score Friday night in Dallas the Texas Aggies lost another conference basketball game to the S. M. U. Mustangs, 73-43. After jumping to a 4-1 lead, the Aggies fell behind and were never able to catch up with the free-scoring Mustangs. S. M. U. went into a 10-8 lead after five minutes of play and from then on were never headed. Playing with a slow, de liberate type offense, the Mus tangs forced the Aggies to make mistakes and then cashed in on them. Teel, the S.M.U. center, was high point man of the game with 17 points. His shots from close un der the basket were responsible for S.M.U.’s 34-22 lead at half time. After the half S.M.U. turned on the heat with Avery, Haden, and Teal supplying the fire. This combination worked until the Mus tangs were leading by about 20 points. At this time the second team took over for S.M.U. With the second team displaying almost as much* scoring power as the first, S.M.U. contmued to roll over the hapless Aggies. An interesting point to note is the fact that of the twelve men that played for the Mustangs, all but one had a hand in on . the scoring. This ac counted for the large score that was run up. White was high point man for the Aggies with 9 points. Weinbaum and Ellis followed closely with 8 each. Travelling over to Fort Worth Saturday night the Aggies played the Horned Frogs of T.C.U. The Aggies again emerged on the los ing end of the score, 50-42. The game started very slowly with neither team scoring for about the first four minutes.

This lead was short lived, however, as Gibson of T. C. U. began sinking them from around the free throw line. He was high point man of the game with 16 points. The Aggies stayed close on the heels of the fast moving Frogs mainly through the efforts of the tall Aggie cen ter, White. His follow shots under the basket earned him runner-up honors with 15 points. The Aggies were still in the ball game at the half although trailing 23-15. The Frogs changed their offensive tactics after the half. They check ed the Aggies all over the court and made it difficult for them to bring the ball past the center line. This gave them opportunity to stretch their lead to 10 points. With this lead T.C.U.'s second team took over. T.C.U.’s big little man”, Pasco was held to one field goal by the Aggie defense. Ellis tallied 9 points for the losers. S.M.U. F.G. F.T. P.F. T.P.

These, he said, were raised and gathered by “the peo ple on the farms—parents and chil dren and any local labor available, supplemented by volunteers from towns and villages.” There is an advisory committee of practical farmers in every Texas county to counsel with returning Texans who want to be farmers, President Gilchrist said. They are prepared to give information of practical nature on land values, soil fertility and crops most adapt able to that section and weather conditions. Postwar education as it concerns those boys who desire to special ize in agriculture and the mechanic arts is covered in the letter. Ex planation is made of the vocational schools of this nature which are planned at a number of points over the state. The letter closes with a summa tion of football results for the 1944 season by schools of Texas and the Southwest Conference. The publishers of the Country Gentleman, the Curtis Publishing Company, prints 100,000 copies of each of its monthly oversea edi tions. These copies carry no ad vertising matter and are free to receiving service men in every re spect. They are kept as free as possible from any controversial subjects. It is the plan of the Country Gentleman to cover up to four land-grant colleges in each issue until all such schools are in cluded. The February number car ried the message from Colorado along with that of Texas. A stump of a giant cypress tree grown during the glacial area was uncovered by subway workmen on August 6, 1931, in Philadelphia. It was found 38 feet below the sur face of the street and 10 feet be low sea level. The stump measured 17 feet in circumference. Aggies Play Baylor Here Wednesday; Meet Longhorns In Austin Saturday The Texas Aggie schedule for the rest of the semester will look something like this: Wednesday, February 14, the maroon and white will clash with the Baylor Bears here at College Station; February 17, the orange and white from Aus tin will meet the Aggies here at DeWare Field House; and on Feb ruary 23 and 24, the Aggie cagers will invade Fayetteville, Arkansas, where they will tangle with the Arkansas Razorbacks. The game this Wednesday night will likely emerge as a victory for the maroon and white since the hapless Bears have remained on the bottom of the conference heap so far this season. Marlin Hicks, outstanding player for the Bears so far this season, and incidentally high point man for the’ Bears in their underdog clash with the Longhorns last week, is expected to lead Baylor’s attack. The Ag gies, meanwhile, will be counting on White, Ellis, Weinbaum, Hall, McCormick and Goad. It will probably be Don Wooten in the spotlight again when the teasippers clash with the fight’n Aggie five on Saturday night, Feb ruary 17; but since the Aggies have never been a pushover in any kind of contest, it is expected to be a whale of a game from start to finish. Even if the Aggies could manage to blast out a victory in this tilt, although the future looks rather hopeless, it would not af fect the conference standings any, since T. U. has won four tilts while the Aggies have grabbed but one conference tilt for themselves. When the Aggie five tangles with the Razorbacks on the 23rd and 24th of this month, the start ing lineup will probably be Oscar White at center, Dick Goad at for ward, Hub Ellis at forward, Bill McCormick at guard, and Charlie Weinbaum at the other guard spot. The Razorbacks are slated to cop this tilt since the Hogs are at present holding third place honors in the Southwest conference. Ar kansas will probably represent the Southwest conference at the re gional tournament of the National Collegiate Athletic Association at Kansas City, March 23 and 24, since although Rice has won the South west conference basketball race, the fact that the Navy trainees cannot be away from the campus more than forty-eight hours will keep Rice from entering the meet. —TOWN HALL— Continued from Page 1 thunderous applause Adler started his third encore which was a little number he had written himself. It had a French title but was noth ing more than good hot American Boogie with a French accent. To round off the sixth part of the pro gram the harmonica virtuoso play ed a number that was supposed to be the Barrel House Blues, but Mr. Adler had to have his fun so he also threw in a couple of bars from Madam Butterfly or some other oriental tune. In the next part of the program Mr. Draper exhibited some of his dancing skill by performing some various dances that he had writ- There is something fascinating in the study of trees. The develop ment of a tiny seed, which you may hold lightly in your hand, into a structure weighing several, per haps many tons, and rearing itself seventy to one hundred feet into the air would be regarded as a miracle were it not of such com mon occurrence.—C.

In these dances he endeavoured to portray the var ious stories that are told in songs, all of which are famous the world over. The Folk Medley, which con sisted of more than half a dozen famous American songs, brought to light the fact that Draper had a humorous side as well as a ser ious one, and it also showed that his work contains a great deal of originality. To end a perfect performance Adler and Draper did another duet, this time all of the numbers were chosen from those that the aud ience wanted to hear, and they ranged from a waltz down to Rum and Coca Cola. Star dust, Sugar Blues, Cow Cow Boogie, Ac-cent- chu-ate The Positive, the Flight of the Bumble Bee, Trolley Song and Tiger Rag were the numbers that were played in the closing number. Brought back by an enormous ap plause the two performers did one more number and said good-night, and that number was Good Night Ladies. Special recognition must also be given to Arthur Ferrante who ac companied both Adler and Draper on the piano. Ferrante showed great talent on the stage Monday night and received a nice hand for his efforts. Besides being a source of cash income to the farmer, a home supply of timber on the farm means that necessary repairs and new construction can be made when needed and the farm oper ations kept up to a high standard of efficiency.
