Freshman Team Seeks Fifth Victory;
McDowell Will Join Varsity Squad
By SCOTTY SWINNEY
The Aggie Fish basketeers will again risk their perfect
record when they meet the Baylor Cubs tonight at six o’clock
in DeWare Field House in what promises to be a hard fought
preliminary.
Coach Taylor Wilkins, who saw the Cubs lose by one
point to the TCU Polywogs last 1 *"
week, said that they would be hard
to beat. The Wogs are supposed
to have a fine team and wei'e hard

pressed in their win over the Cubs
after trailing the Baylor freshmen
in the final seconds of play.
Tonight’s game will mark the
last appearance of Jewel McDowell
as a member of the Fish team. Mc
Dowell finishes his freshman year
at the end of January and will
move up to the varsity team next
month.
In winning four straight games
the Aggie freshmen have defeat
ed Allen Academy, Wharton Jun
ior College, Sam Houston State
“B”, and the Rice Blue Bolts.
The Baylor Cubs have a record
of one win against two losses. They
defeated the SMU Colts for their
lone victory while losing to TCU
and the North Texas Eaglets.
Showing up well for the Cubs
this season are Billy Fleetwood
and Ralph Johnson. Fleetwood took
high point honors in last week’s
game against the Polywogs with
ten points and was closely followed
by Johnson with nine.
Coach Wilkins probably will
stick to the same team that stai’t-
ed against the Rice Blue Bolts
last week. This lineup will find
Houser and Bentley at forwards,
Davis at center, and McDowell and
Farmer at guards.

Rice Owls to Meet
Arkansas Tonight
Rice Institute’s high riding bas
ketball team moves to Arkansas
tonight to meet the. rambling Ra-
zorbacks of Arkansas University
in a game that will move one of
the teams from their third place
tie in the conference standings.
Feeling as if they were on top of
the world after their surprise win
over the Texas Longhorns, the
Owls will meet a team in Arkansas
that has a record foi; the season
very similar to their own.
Both teams have played Baylor
and Long Island University. Bay
lor beat the Owls by 16 points in
Waco and the Razorbacks by 4
points in Fayetteville. In the
Long Island game the Owls come
out with the advantage in the
comparative scores losing by only
three points while the Hogs were
defeated 56-42.
Ken Kearns of Denton, Texas, is
one of the leaders of the Porker
cagers, while Warren Switzer, Bill
Tom, and Joe McDermott are
among the top Owl cagers.
Coach Stiteler’s secretary, MRS. HELEN FRADY, has the job
of keeping the coaching staff going—making appointments, typing
letters, keeping records, and listening to “Dawg” Dawson’s jokes.
As you can see, her desk is a regular stop for the sports reporters.

Highlights Of Olympics
Shown In Films At Guion
By SCOTTY SWINNEY
On the screen at Guion Hall, the
United States is again running
away with titles in the 14th modern
Olympic Games held at Wembley
Stadium in London last summer.
The film, which will be showing 1
through tonight, was brought here
as a special roadshow feature and
is the only print of its length made
of the Olympics. Seventeen tech
nicolor cameras were used in film
ing the scenes shown in this excel
lent job of photography. Part of
the scenes were shot in the rain
and Under dismal skies. In fact,
every technicolor camera to be
found outside Hollywood was used.
Contrary to previous announce
ments, the Aggie star of the
Olympics, Art Harnden, who won
his gold medal in the 1600 meter
relays, was not shown in the
film. The probable reason for
this is that when Harnden start
ed running, there wasn’t a cam
eraman in the stadium who could
keep up with him.
However, there was one South
west Conference star shown in the
film, and if you thought Clyde
Scott of Arkansas did some fancy
running on the football field, you
should see him on the cinders.
Scott really stepped out on the
screen at Guion in placing second
in the low hurdles.
Probably the most amusing inci
dent in the film came at the end
of the 100 meter dash when the
United States’ Barney Ewell,
thinking he had won the race,
broke into a spirited victory dance
and accepted the congratulations
of Mel Patton, also of the U. S.
team, who placed 5th. in the event.
His dance was premature however,
for the official photo of the finish
showed that Harrison Dillard from
the United States had beat him
aci’oss the finish line.
Undoubtedly, the most dramatic
race in the Olympics, from the
point of view of seeing it on the
screen, was the 26 mile marathon
run. The announcer, in this por
tion of the film, was definitely pro-
British, and his sentiments were
echoed by the audience with cries
of, “Come on Tom,” for thg British
hope, Tom Richardson. There were
a lot of tired men who finished
that run and others who didn’t.

By BILL POTTS
The Aggies will play their fist home conference game
of the basketball season tonight when they take on the no-
longer-so-high-riding Baylor Bears in the feature event at
eight o’clock in DeWare Field House.
Slated to rebound from their embarrassing defeat at
the hands of the Texas Longhorns ♦
Tuesday, the Bears are expected
to outscore the much improved Ag
gies tonight. Baylor is still lead
ing the conference by virtue of
the fact that they have played
more games than any other team.
The Bears have won four games
and lost one while the Longhorns
who are in second place, have won
three of four games played.
Farther down in the standings
are the Aggies who have shown
improvement with every game.
The Farmers won their confer
ence opener against TCU and lost
to SMU the next night.
Last Thursday night, they gave
the Rice Owls plenty of worry be
fore loosing a heartbreaker, 54-53.
With that record, they rate fifth
place in the conference standings.
The lucky fans that don’t have
a couple of finals Saturday will
see a friendly little feud when the
two varsity teams take the court
at eight. The DeWitt brothers,
John of A&M and Bill of Baylor,
are both holding down starting
berths on the opposing teams.
Bill is the older and more ex
perienced of the two but John is,
expected to hold up his share of
the family’s honor tonight. In fact,
he’s been doing somewhat better
than his brother this season in that
department. He is now leading the
Aggies in scoring for the season
and has averaged 9.6 points per
game while his brother, Bill, has
averaged 6.2.
John is the Aggies tallest man
at 6’5” and will be at the center
spot tonight. He got off to a
slow start at the beginning of
the season but finally hit his
stride last week when he held
the Rice Owl’s pride, 6’7” Bill
Tom, to six points before he
fouled out.
This is Bill’s second year on the
starting lineup for the Bears. He
measures 6’3” and can be very
dangerous with his shooting and
fine ball hawking and will be a
constant threat to the Cadets.

besides DeWitt will probably in
clude Red Owens and Odell Pres
ton at forwards, Don Heathington
at Center, and eirher Bill Srack or
Ralph Pulley at the other guard.
Defense specialist Bill Johnson
usually starts at the other guard
along with DeWitt but he suf
fered a knee injury in the Texas
game Tuesday and will prob
ably be sidelined for a major
portion of the game.
First line reserve Bill Hickman
was ^Iso injurea in the Bears’
game with Texas and may not see
much service.
For the Aggies, the starters will
be John DeWitt at center, Sam
Jenkins and Gene Schrickel at the
guard posts, and Bill Turnbow and
Jim Kirkland at the forward posi
tions.
Jenkins, recently elected co-cap
tain of the cage team, will be play
ing his Igst game with the Aggie
cagers tonight. The -6 foot, 150
pound guard from El Paso grad
uates at the end of this semester.
As an ironical note, Sam will be
playing his last game against the
team that he was once a member
of when he was at Baylor in the
ASTP.
All members of the Cadet squad
are expected to be in top shape
after having had oyer a week c#f
rest since their last game with
Rice.
All students with names be
ginning with the letters A

Oklahoma Aggies
Top St. Louis
In 29-27 Upset
STILLWATER, Okla., Jan. 21
(A 1 )—Folks down here say it takes
a miracle for a basketball team
to whip the Oklahoma A&M Ag
gies on their home floor.
And today the St. Louis Univer
sity Billikens, rated the nation’s
No. one squad, are thinking 1 it—
if not saying it, too.
Last night a standing-room-
only crowd of 9,600 saw the Ag
gies topple the Bills from the
country’s unbeaten ranks by the
low, narrow score of 29 to 27
in a one-period overtime game.
St. Louis came to town confi
dent of victory. Coach Eddie Hick
ey said earlier this week he wasn’t
bringing his team here “to play
mumblety-peg—we’re going to win
at' Stillwater this week.”
A&M coach Hank Iba wasn’t
talking. He just said the “game is
in the hands of the boys.”
The Aggies, ranked No. 5 in
the Associated Press first na
tion-wide basketball poll, have
lost only eight games out of 136
played here in 14 years.
The lead changed three times
before the overtime period began
with the score at 25-up.
J. L. Parks counted a field goal
within a minute to send the locals
ahead. A&M’s Jack Shelton, sub
stitute center, followed with an
other two/ points.
The scoring was closed out when
“Easy” Ed Macauley, St. Louis’
mighty center, found the net for
two points.
The Aggies were the only team
to defeat the Billikens last year.
In fact, they beat them twice.
