■ON KYLE FIELD
by PAUL MARTIN
Arkansas Had Tight Squeeze
Martin
In the game between the visit
ing Aggies and the Porkers last
Friday and Saturday nights, high-
scoring Arkansas forward A1 Wil
liams made nine of his 29 points
by charity toss-
es to establish
|a new record
for himself i n
that depart-
ment. This sur
passes by four
points the rec
ord for himself
set by Bill Hen
ry of Rice i n
1945. The Ag-
| gies, who enter-
’ed the tilt as
underdogs, out-
hustled and out-
raced their taller opponents in all
but a five minute stretch right af
ter intermission when the Porkers
tallied 13 points to their one. The
work of the pivot-playing forward
was all that saved the hosts from
suffering their first defeat of the
season on home floors. At times
the Razorbacks were not even able
to get the ball past the free throw
line of their own goal.
This threw quite a scare into
the Arkansas aggregation for
Karow was using race-horse tac
tics and long passes which
caught the home team napping
and which can be expected to be
used by Texas this week-end.
In order for the Razorbacks to
rank first, they must beat the
Steers both games and then win
the run-off. They will be play
ing at a disadvantage for Wil
liams, Kok, and McGaha are all
on the injured list. Williams
is suffering from a sprained an
kle hurt in the Aggie tilt last
Saturday night, Kok hurt his
nose which is now badly swollen
and McGaha, who was hurt ear
lier in the season, seems to be
definitely out.
| Bee Team Plays
Friday Night
Coach Johnny Frankie’s Aggie
Bee cagers will wind up their sea
son play along with the A squad
this aturday night. Friday, they
fill the first half of a double bill
ing, taking on the District Champ
ion an Jacinto High School team
of Houston starting at 6 p. m. at
DeWare Field House.
Saturday night they proceed the
varsity and Ponies on the floor
when they take on the University
of Houston Bees. In the first en
counter between the two schools,
the Aggie Bees got. slightly the
worst end of the deal.
Morgan Gets CounciPs Okay
As Tech Football Mentor
Texas Tech’s controversy over
whether or not Head Coach Dell
Morgan would remain as chief
foolball mentor ended with the
college athletic council giving Mor
gan a vote of approval.
The move to oust Morgan was
begun when several members of
the football team reportedly ex
pressed dissatisfaction with the
coaching situation. Following, a
petition was circulated and the
names of some 670 students were
affixed.
Over 137,000 veterans or depen
dents of veterans now are wards
of Veterans Administration.
Homer Adams
In tilts with Arkansas last
week-end, Adams played one of
his best games this season. Now
in his last year at A&M, Adams
is one of the few veteran round-
ballers on the court and both his
offensive and defensive work
were highly commendable. He
also made a good showing
against the Steers in Austin but
in this case he out-hustled the
hustlers.
Bob Kamperman played his best
game of the season also and ac
cording to even the Razorback sup
porters, the Aggie five as a whole
proved that they were far from
out-classed by the second place
Porkers. Even on Saturday night,
when the score did not substan
tiate the claims, the Cadets kept
the hosts on their toes with pass
interceptions, long passes, and tip-
ins. Long set shots were also con
necting pretty well.
Each year in Texas, about 250
persons lose their lives in fires on
farms or in rural communities.
One-third of these are children
under 10 years of age.

Aggie Swimmers To
Meet T U Saturday

ming squad will try for their sev
enth straight win Saturday after
noon against the Texas Longhorn
aquamen in the P. L. Downs Nat-
atorium. The dual meet will start
at 3 p.m.
After defeating the Texans in
Austin on February 18, the Cadet
tankers established several pool
records. So far this year Art Ad
amson’s charges have been com
pletely successful, winning every
match by a substantial margin and
establishing new pool records al
most at will.
Danny Green and Jimmy Flow
ers have thus far sparked the team
along with Allen Self, Gene Sum
mers, Howard Spencer, and Jack
Riley. The Medley Relay trio,
Spencer, Flowers and Green set a
new pool record in the last meet to
add to the string of broken records
already set this year by the A&M
swimming aggregation.
Aggie forward Don Voiding tips one into the bucket as Longhorn
guard AI Madsen attempts to cover the basket. In the background
Mike Garcia gets set for the rebound, if any. This shot came at a cru
cial moment in the game here between the Aggies and Longhorns on
February 15.

PENNY’S
SERENADE
W. L. Penberthy
Whenever we attempt to carry
out a difficult assignment we us
ually try to secure a pattern or
model from which to work. I
have heard preachers say, and I
agree, that a
good life is a
hard life b e-
cause we have
to do many
things that do
not come na
tural to us, such
as loving our en
emies; however,
the rewards are
great and well
worth the troub
le.
I don’t know
of a better pat
tern for every
day living then Penny
“The Fiftieth Boy” by Dr. Frank
Crane. Here it is:
“About one boy in fifty will re
main after the feast and of his
own accord offer to help clear the
things up or to wash the dishes.—
Do you know this Fiftieth Boy?—
There are forty-nine boys who are
seeking jobs? the job seeks the
Fiftieth Boy.—The Fiftieth Boy
makes glad the heart of his par
ents.—The Fiftieth Boy smoothes
the wrinkles out of his teacher’s
forehead, and takes the worry out
of her mind.—All the grouches and
sour-faces brighten when they see
the Fiftieth Boy coming, for he is
brave and cheery.—The forty-nine
“didn’t think”; the Fiftieth Boy
thinks.—The Fiftieth Boy makes a
confidant of his mother and a pal
of his father.—He does not lie,
steal nor tattle, because he does
not like to. When he sees a ban
ana peel on the sidewalk, where it
is liable to cause some one to slip
and fall, or a piece of glass in the
road where it may puncture a tire,
he picks it up. The forty-nine
think it’s none of their business—
The Fiftieth Boy is a good sport.
He does not whine when he loses.
He does not sulk when another
wins the prize. He does not cry
when he is hurt.—He 'is respectful
to all women and girls.—He is not
afraid to do right nor ashamed to
be decent.—He looks you straight
in the eye.—He tells the truth,
whether the consequences to him
are unpleasant or not.—He is not
a prig nor a sissy, but he stands
up straight and is honest.—For
ty-seven out of the forty-nine like
him.—He is pleasant toward his
own sister as toward the sisters of
other fellows.—He is not sorry for
himself.—He works as hard as he
plays.—Everybody is glad to see
him.—Do you have that kind of a
boy at your house?—If not, don’t
complain, there are not enough of
them to go around.”
both, nights with the Bee team
opening at 6 p. m. against San
Jacinto High School of Houston
on Friday night and the University
of Houston Bee team on Saturday
night. The main events begin at
8 p. m.
This will be the second game
between A&M Varsity and both
TCU and SMU, with the first
games staged on January 10 and
11. TCU bowed before the furious
attack launched by the Cadets but
the Ponies handed the Farmers
their worst conference defeat of
the season.
TCU enters this contest the
underdog with but one win in nine
trys to their credit. This places
the Frogs on the bottom of the
list in conference standings. SMU
is more unpredictable for after
trouncing the top-rating Arkansas
Porkers two in a row, the Ponies
received a drubbing at the hands
of the Baylor Bears last week. The
Mustangs are still holding third
place with seven wins and three
losses to their credit.
Coupon book holders with
even numbers will be admitted

All of the Southwest Conference
cage squads are finishing their

Social Club to Meet Friday

Forfeits A-Plenty
In Local League
Forfeits were the rule rather
than the exception in the local
volleyball league games at A & M
Consolidated gym Monday night.
At 7 p. m., O. G. Helvey’s Ath
letes forfeited to Ray Hickman’s
Pirates, while Norman Anderson’s
Dodgers defeated Carl Tischler’s
Giants by the scores of 13-15, 15-3,
and 15-8.
In the 8 p. m. rounds, Grady
Elms’ Tigers went down in defeat
to Luther Jones’ Cardinals by the
score of 15-10' and 15-12. There
was only one game scheduled at
this time.
In the last round at 9 p. m., H.
W. Barlow’s Cubs lost by forfeit
to Lloyd Barryman’s Rebels, and
Joe White’s Red Sox took W. M.
Dowell’s Yenkees by forfeit.
Any team forfeits if it does
not have at least four players by
game time. However, the teams
may choose players and play for
recreation, though the outcome
does not count.
