This is the Aggie Freshman team which defeated Wharton Junior College 52 to 38 Saturday night.
JEWELL McDOWELL, left, led the Fish by scoring 24 points. The rest of the team are, in the usual
order, EDDIE HOUSER, BUDDY DAVIS, DICK BENTLEY, and BOBBY FARMER.
McDowell Leads Fish Gagers
To Victory Over Wharton JC
By FRANK SIMMEN JR.
After a slow start the Ag
gie freshman cage team buck
led down and dumped the
Wharton Junior College bas-
keteers by a score of 52 to 38
last Saturday night in Whar
ton. Jewel McDowell, the ex-Ama-
villo all-stater, led both teams in
scoring by racking up 17 points in
the first half. Although watched
closely by the Pioneers in the sec
ond period McDowell came back to
rack up 7 more.
“The Ears” wasted little time in
getting started. When the game
w^s less than a minute old he
made a long shot to get the Ag
gies started off right. He sunk
them from the center strip to
right under the basket and many
times faked and dribbled the ball
in to score while being guarded by
a couple' of Wharton six-footers.

The Aggies started off the
scoring when Bentley made a
charity shot, but lost the lead
soon after that and were not
able to regain it until early in
(he second quarter. Once Mc-
dowell and his men grabbed the
lead spot it was no stopping
them and they went on to win
by 13 points.
Buddy Davis of the Aggies and
Bob Tomlin of the Pioneers tied
for the number two spot in the
scoring race with 10 points each.
Davis played a bang up defensive
game for the Fish, but until the
second half couldn’t seem to see
the basket.
Bobby Farmer, who we learned
Saturday night has a terrible tem
per, almost punched a referee from
Wharton back into Brazos Coun
ty. The Amarillo star just couldn’t
hold his. temper back after loos-,
ing the ball while dribbling down
court. The floor was in terrible
condition, being too lively in the
center.
Tomlin was the only man on
the Pioneer squad who could hit
the hoop. He played a fine de
fensive game for the JC’s, and
led their scoring with 10 points.
The game was a real thriller the
first half, but after the Aggies
improved their defense in the sec
ond period the Pioneers had too
much trouble in getting past the
Aggie guards.
Its a good thing Little Mac
was hot, because the rest of his
Freshman buddies were as cold
as an Eskimo’s igloo. Buddy
Davis was the only other eager
on the Freshman team that even
looked like a basketball player
and sometimes during the game
it was doubtful if he could make
Consolidated’s B team.
After a nip and tuck battle in
the first quarter, the Aggies pull
ed out ahead of the pack and
cinched the lead while the game
was officially 11 minutes in prog
ress.

Longhorns Stop Frogs; Bears
Master Owls in League Play
Although Julius Dolnics, veteran TCU center, kept rack
ing up points in the usual manner, the Texas Longhorns
slapped down the Horned Frogs in Fort Worth Saturday
night 59-46. Three Texas players, Slater Martin, Tom Ham
ilton, and A1 Madsen, matched Dolnics in point making.
It was two straight for Texas iny
conference play, and the second ’
loss in three games for TCU.
Twenty nine year old Dolnics
scored 17 points, 7 of them on free
throws as a tight Texas defense
shackled him to some extent in
the field.
Superior ball handling, mixed
with a definite edge in speed afoot
brought Texas its victory.
Texas’ center, Philip George, did
the best' job of handling Dolnics
seen in Will Rogers Coliseum here
in conference play, and when he
fouled out, a substitute sophomore
Wilson Taylor, did nearly as well.
Dolnics Spark Plug
But despite the fly-paper guard
ing of the Steer centers, the wily
Frog pivot man, managed to tally
five field goals, most of them from
near the free throw line. Two of
his scores came on tip-ins, and
only once did he find shooting
room under the basket.
Martin and Madsen, Texas’ twin
tornadoes, combined with the beefy
Hamilton to subdue the resurgent
Frogs. Slick passing, dribbling and
faking by the first two", and a
deadly hook shot by Hamilton did
the damage. Martin and Madsen
each contributed a cheap basket to
the Texas total in the second half
by stealing the ball and racing the
length of the court to score.
Texas Mines Beats
H-S, Texas Tech
DALLAS, Jan. 10 (TP)—Signs of
a definite pattern are still miss
ing from the scramble that makes
up the Border Conference basket
ball race.
As customary for the past three
years the University of Arizona
Wildcats are at the top. This time
their lead is built on the insecure
foundation of a single win.
Texas Tech was the victim of
a surprising upset fashioned by
Texas Mines. But the Red Raid
ers are still favored.
The new Arizona team looked
like a potential champ when it
forged into an 18-point lead over
Hardin-Simmons. It barely stood
up when the Cowboys turned on
the heat and at one time came
within five points of a tie.
Texas Mines stole the week’s
headlines by upsetting advance
calculations and defeating both
league favorites, Tech and West
Texas. It pays a return visit to
both schools plus Hardin-Simmons
this week.
Tech faces two of its strongest
challengers, the Miners in Lub
bock and West Texas in Lubbock.
This was the third straight win
for the young Aggies in as many
starts. The Fish take on the Rice
Owlets in a game in Houston this
Thursday night. The junior Owls
lost a close contest to Lamar last
Saturday night but have a better
team than their won-loss column
shows.

Fourteen Schools
Warned to Watch
Recruiting Tactics
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9 —<A>>
Fourteen member schools of the
National Collegiate Athletic Asso
ciation have been warned to clean
up their high-pressure recruiting
of athletes by March 1.
They are “clearly not comply
ing” with the NCAA’s year-old
“Sanity Code” regulating such
matters, compliance c o mmittee
chairman Clarence P. Houston re
ported to the NCAA Executive
Board. He did not name the of
fenders.
His report, given last night, also
said that “Comparatively little in
vestigation will be needed in these
cases, as (their) answers to ques
tionnaires admit violation.”
Some 32 other schools, he said,
gave answers which stirred doubts.
Their questionnaire answers, he
explained, were “such as to re
quire more information in order to
make a determination of their com
pliance.”
The sanity code, adopted by the
NCAA at a New York meeting
last year, is intended to end the
recruiting of star athletes by prom
ises of financial or other assist
ance.
Houston, of Tufts College, said
“The great majority of active mem
bers of the NCAA” appear to be
“well within the requirements of
the code,” and conducting their
athletic programs “on a sound and
ethical basis.”
In another report at last night’s
meetings, Dr. Floyd R. Eastwood
informed NCAA representatives
that college football went through
the 1948 season without a single
fatality. Dr. Eastwood, professor
of Education at Los Angeles State
College, said it was the fourth
time since 1941 that American
colleges finished a season with no
deaths directly or indirectly re
sulting from the game.
In two games against the Wash
ington Redskins in 1940, the Phil
adelphia Eagles could gain only
54 yards by rushing the ball, but
they gained 554 yards in the air.
Coach Marty Karow’s cagers split their opening two
games over the weekend, beating TCU 58 to 42 Friday and
falling before a Mustang splurge, 55 to 37 Saturday night.
The Aggies were underdogs in both tilts, bua deserved the
rating only in the second half of the SMU game.
A single point separated the two+
teams at the mid-point of the game
but the Methodists made 34 count
ers to 17 for A&M in the second
half. The visiting Farmers ran up
a quick 14-2 lead before SMU
could get started, but made only
four points while the hosts were
making 17 on the shooting of Jack
Brown and Bob Prewitt.
The Mustang rally kept on go
ing in the second half, netting
14 points to three for A&M in
the first six minutes of play.
This was the first win in three
starts for the Mustangs, and
gave A&M a one and one record.
A&M’s scoring was spread out,
with John DeWitt pacing the squad
with nine points, followed by Kirk
land with six. Bob Prewitt, for
ward for SMU, led his team with
13 points, and sparked their win
with his floor play.
It was a different story
against the Horned Frogs.
After TCU pulled a surprise win
from SMU, it looked as if the
Aggies might come home winless.
But Karow’s Krew played a head
up floor game in racking up its
easy 58 to 42 win. Three players,
Billy Turnbow, Jim Kirkland and
John DeWitt, split 42 points be
tween them to lead the Aggie at
tack in Fort Worth.
A&M’s inexperienced squad
used its fast-break to score set
ups under the basket. They also
swiped the ball on the Horned

Frog’s poor passing, and Turn
bow and DeWitt collaborated
under the basket to give A&M its
win.
Only one Christian player, cen
ter Julius Dolnics, was able to
penetrate the Aggie defense. He
made 22 points, more than half of
his squad’s tallies, and kept the
Frogs in the game with his back-
board work.
John DeWitt was the high
scorer for A&M in both games,
scoring 15 points against TCU
and nine against the stiffer Mus
tangs. Jim Kirkland, surprising
performer on the Farmer squad,
came in second with 14 and six,
respectively.
Next on tap for the Cadets is a
tussle with the Rice Owls in Hous
ton next Thursday. Both teams
are expected to be in a cellar-fight
with TCU at the season’s close.
Rice lost to Baylor Saturday
night in its conference opener.
