THE BATTALION
Page 3
ON KYLE FIELD
by PAUL MARTIN
Marty Karow’s cage squad
showed continued improve
ment Saturday night against
the Houston YMCA Trian
gles. Even though they came
out second best on the score
pad, the work of the team as a
whole and of the individual mem
bers was very commendable. Too
many buckets were missed as well
as free throws, but they were get
ting the rebounds which is always
a good sign. The floor work also
was excellent,
and all in all the
maroon and
white p u t o n a
surprising-
ly good show
against such
masters of the
art as Bill Hen
ry, Jitter bug
Henderson, and
Hal Lambert,
j The Aggies were
^c o n s i d e r-
a b 1 y hampered
by 1 a c k o f
height which
their opponents had plenty of, and
the unerring aim of Henry succeed
ed in keeping them in the trailing
Martin
position.
Mike Garcia played his usual
fine floor game, his tricky drib-
bing confusing both his oppon
ents and the spectators, and in
addition dropped two long set
shots through the loop that were
among the best and most spec
tacular shots of the game. Ho
mer Adams was also in there on
the defense and tallied two buc
kets to account for four points.
High-scoring forward Bill Batey
did not start and played compar
atively little of the game. A cut
lip resulting from a collision in
the Texas match kept him from
working out last week. He did,
however, tally nine points and in
tercept a pass that set up anoth
er bucket.
Lynn Smith was the man of the
night, however, for he not only
chalked up 24 points but also ef
fectively covered Bill Henry on
more than one threat. For a
while it was all Smith when it
came to scoring—on both sides. On
another occasion it looked like a
personal duel between Smith on
one side and Henry and Henderson
on the other. The three would take
turn about making a bucket.

GENERAL ELECTRIC
ELECTRONICS ENGINEER
The Story of
DICK LONGFELLOW
MINNESOTA ’37
'VTO small factor in Dick Longfellow’s deci-
sion to come with General Electric was
the knowledge that at G.E. he could con
tinue his studies in electronics engineering.
Dick had grown up with electronics. He
had operated his own amateur radio station
when he was 14, and at Minnesota he had
specialized in communications.
With this background of intensive study,
he was well-prepared to take advantage of
the courses available to him at General Elec
tric. His outstanding work during two years
of high-frequency studies earned him elec
tronics assignments first, in the Research
Laboratory, and later, in 1940, with the
Transmitter Division.
Since then Dick Longfellow has been shap
ing for himself the kind of a career he began
planning long ago. He has worked in tele
vision, has designed ultra high frequency
radio tubes, has contributed to the develop
ment of radar. Today, after ten years with
G.E., he is Chief Engineer of the company’s
Electronics Specialty Division.
Next to schools and the U.S. Government, General Elec
tric employs more college engineering graduates than any
other organization.
An engineer for his University broadcasting
station, Dick handled controls during foot
ball broadcasts.
Among his present assignments is included
work on radio sonde equipment, used to
determine weather data.
GENERAL W ELECTRIC
Two Aggie cagers, Ragan Col-
linsworth, left, and Ray Klutz
announced Saturday that they
are leaving the team. Collins-
worth has seniority as assistant
manager of a shoe store in Hous
ton and unless he returned im
mediately, he was advised that
he would lose the seniority ac
cumulated toward promotion to
store manager.
Klutz, also of Houston, rein
jured his knee and has decided to
drop out rather than risk fur
ther injury.
Coach Karow stated that he
would move two men up from
the Bee squad to replace these
losses but he has not yet said
who they would be.

Visiting YMCA Triangles
Drub Aggie Cagers 67-57
A rapidly-improving Aggie quintet met defeat at the
hands of the visiting Houston YMCA aggregation in DeWare
Field House Saturday night in a fast-moving non-conference
game that ended with the YMCA Triangles leading 67-57.
The Triangles, whose squ&d roster included the names
of such hardwood immortals as Jitterbug Henderson, Bill
Henry, and Hal Lambert, started the action in the first 30
seconds by a bucket and retained the lead until mid-way
■Hn the first half when the Aggies
took the lead for a few seconds.
Aggie Cagers Have
Two Tough Tilts
Slated This Week
Progressing well into the
middle of the season and with
the end in view, Marty Kar
ow’s Aggie cage squad will
take on two tough opponents this
week: the Rice Owls on Wednes
day and the Texas Longhorns on
Saturday nights, both teams for
the second time.
In the previous tilts the cadets
came out even, losing to Texas and
staging a 52-44 win over Rice. The
Rice match will take place in Hous
ton, while the Longhorns are vis
iting College Station to partici
pate in a double header. Opening
the double header at 6 p. m. Sat
urday will be the Aggie Bees and
Texas Shorthorns while the main
event will follow at 8 p. m. between
the two varsity squads.
Rice, now lagging in sixth place
in conference standings is making
a bid for the fifth place berth now
occupied by A.&M. To support
this bid are high scoring guard
Harmon Walters, loop artist War
ren Switzer, and towering center
Bill Tom. With only one win to
four losses to date, the Owls are
expected by some sports writers
to pull some upsets before the
season’s end.
Coach Johnnie Frankie’s Aggie
B team will also journey to Hous
ton on Wednesday to take on the
Blue Bolts, whom they defeated
once at College Station, to com
plete the double bill.
Texas University will lie idle all
week following the tilt with Rice
last Saturday night and their
squad should be in good condi
tion. Such top flight cage names
as John Hargis, Roy Cox, Slater
Martin, John Langdon, and AI
Madsen and at latest reports all of
them are in condition to play.
It was nip and tuck for the next
few minutes with the lead chang
ing hands a dozen times.
All-time conference scoring rec
ord holder Bill Henry paced the
tilt with nine buckets and nine
free throws for a total of 27
points, while Aggie forward Lynn
Smith racked up 24 tallies to hold
second place.
At half-time the Triangles led
39-29. Following the intermission
the Houstonians came out strong
and took a 13 point lead in the
first five minutes. The Aggies
threatened in the middle of the
second half when Lynn Smith
made five goals in as many min
utes. Bill Batey, who played only
part of the game because of an
injury sustained in the Texas
game, chalked up nine points, and
Mike Garcia completed several
long set shots and a crip for
eight tallies.
