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. At the end of
six minutes a field goal by White

and a free throw by Weinbaum
had the Aggies ahead 3-2. 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.

nate victims of this war through
out the world. 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.

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

miracle were it not of such com
mon occurrence.—C. D. Howe, Uni

ten to the music of the Spanish
speaking countries. 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.
