Aggies Drop Loop Tilt To Hogs 62-57, As Sophs Lead Play it DeWitt Leads Scorers With B a ttali on PORT WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1949 Page 5 S Freshman And Varsity Tankers Will Clash Saturday in Meet The Aggie Freshman swimming team will be out to show what it can do when it meets the Varsity squad in a practice meet at P. L. Downs Natatorium Saturday. This will mark the second appearance for the varsity and the first for the Fish, who will be trying their best to show what they can do against thef — more experienced swimmers. The varsity squad will be led into the meet by the two stars of the meet with Oklahoma, Danny Green and Bernard Syfan. Each of these swimmers amassed a total of 1114 points against the Sooners, and will probably turn in a better performance with one meet behind them. Probably one of the outstanding swimmers for the freshmen will be Van i&lamson, the son of Coach Art Adamson, who until Monday afternoon held the pool record for the 150 yd. Backstroke. Young Adamson is well known for his swimming merit in and around College Station, and will probably turn in some good performances for the Aggies in the years to come. The next regular meet for the varsity will be with Baylor here at College Station on February 7. This meet was originally set for Feb. 2, but was moved back. Other additions to the schedule originally published are the defi nite dates for two dual meets with T.U. on Feb. 15, at Austin and on Mar. 8, at College Station. Also, the conference meet has been shif ted to Austin and will be held March 18 and 19. TWO MARKS SET EAST LANSING, Mich. —(7P>_ When Michigan State, then Michi gan Agricultural College, defeated Battle Creek 93-4 in basketball back in 1905, two all time records were set. The marks were total points scored by a State team and the 89 point margin of victory. 26 Points in Hot Contest A&M lost its fourth basketball game of the season Mon day night to the Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville, Ark ansas, by a score of 62-57. Two sophomores, the only two starting on the Cadet five, scored 39 of their teams 57 points. Center John DeWitt of Waco-f— led the scoring with 26 points made mostly on shots from the outside and tip-ins. This is the highest total that John has reached this year and he has shown con sistent improvement in every game thus far. Jewel McDowell, the Aggieland Gem, opened his varsity career with a 13 point total against the towering Hawgs. McDowell, a former all-stater from Amarillo, replaced Sam Jenkins, who grad uated last semester, on the start ing line up. Second leading scorer for the night was Bob Ambler of the AT FAYETTEVILLE A&M Fg. Ft. Pf.

This six-seven 220 pounder, a sophomore also, domi nated the backboards in the usual Razorback style and pushed in 24 points. Clifford Horton scored 14 points for the Hogs. At the half the Aggies were leading by a score of 32-25 but as starters DeWitt and Jimmy Kirkland fouled out, they fell before the towering Razorbacks. Arkansas’ height ran something like this, 6’4” and 6’3” at the for ward slots, Ambler with his 6’7” at center, and 6’4” and 5’7” at the guard positions. DeWitt, A&M’s tallest starter is six feet four in ches tall. Todd Arrives; Spring Training Is Postponed A&Ms football staff was brought to full strength Tuesday with the arrival of Dick Todd, former Ag gie and Washington Redskin grid great. Developing a potent back- field will be the main duties of the new assistant to Head Coach Har ry Stiteler. Todd dropped out of profession al ball this year and was signed almost as soon as it was learned that he would call it quits in the play-for-pay league after nine years. During the war he played for the Iowa Pre-flight team. ★ Spring training has been post poned by the coaches due to the bad weather that swept into Texas during the past week. Training will not start now until the coaches feel that they have at least an even chance for good weather ahead. That means that they will let probably a week of good weather pas? before considering beginning practice. Jewell McDowell, the 5’8” guard from Amarillo who sparked the Fish cagers to five straight wins last semester, played his first game with the Varsity against Arkansas Monday night. He was second highest scorer for the Aggies with 14 points. HOLIDAY An Adventure in Good Smoking Aggie Bowlers Start Tourney Thursday Nile Aggie keglers will start competing tomorrow night in the YMCA for berths on the bowling teams in answer to a challenge from Baylor Uni versity. Either two or three teams of five men each will be chosen to represent A&M in this unofficial sport. Three alleys have been reserved from 7 until 9:30 for exclusive use of the competing bowlers. Anoth er night will be set for late en trants next week, if the demand is sufficient. Approximately 20 entries have been received by the Batt Sports department, and notices of the playoffs will be sent to each man. Other students desiring to enter should see Art Howard at the Battalion office before Satur day, February 5. With A&M’s inadequate bowling facilities, it was expected that the Baylor keglers would be able to take this match easily. However, several top-notch men have come forth. In a warmup session last'week Claude Lee of Mitchell Hall bowl ed games of 179, 198, 145, and 199. Jay Cavall is one of the best “finds” so far. Cavall aver ages around 185, and has com peted in several large bowling tournaments. If enough talent is found to match these two athletes, the Ag gies might have a good chance to upset the Bears. The tenative date for the match with Baylor has been set for Feb ruary 15, but final details will have to wait until word is re ceived from Baylor. ART STUDENT SOUTH BEND, Ind —(A>) When little sprains and aches occur among members of the current Notre Dame basketball team, one of the most interested observers in Trainer Hugh Burns’ work is John Brennan, the squad’s star center. Brennan is an honor student in the pre-medical course. kw Simmlked Dress Moccasin nofcviK Modern pace-setter. ..trim andjinadorned [* perfectfexamplejof Bostoniahjsiexpert • craftsmansliip.A.This casual VikingTmoc- front as sleek looking as it is comfortable.’ Just. the. shoe ^to. give you lextralzing^ CONWAY & CO. “Your Clothing Store” 103 N. Main Bryan Oklahoma Tankers Outpoint Aggies Here Monday, 39-36 By SCOTTY SWINNEY The Texas Aggie swimming team fell before a well bal anced Oklahoma University team at the P. L. Downs Na tatorium Monday afternoon, 39-36. Though the Sooners were never in real danger of losing the meet, the Aggies gave them a fight for it until the very end. Bernie Syfan and Danny Green were high point men for the meet with 11*4 points each. They were followed by McClosky and Jones of O.U. with 634 each and Burns of O.U. with 5%. Probably the most outstanding man in the pool Monday was Sy fan, who won the 220 and 440 yd. freestyle events and then went on to swim a leg of the 400 yd. sprint relay. None of the three would have been an easy task alone, and the three together made up a task that took a lot of fortitude to com plete. There was only one pool rec ord broken during the meet and that one by McClosky of O.U., the Southwestern A.A.U. Back- stroke champion, in the 150 yd. backstroke event with a time of 1 min. 45.6 seconds. The previous pool record for this event was set last year by Van Adamson, son of Aggie swimming coach Art Adamson, with a time of 1 min. 47 sec. The Aggies took five of the nine first places, but didn’t have the balance in the ranks that it took to get enough seconds and thirds to beat the Sooners. The boys from O.U. were deep in almost every event, and that gave them the meet. Syfan surprised the Sooners by beating Burns in the 440 yd. free style. Burns got off to an early lead only to see Syfan cut it down gradually and then surge ahead to a short lead which he held until the sprint where he pulled on up to win by four yards. Danny Green showed that he still holds his own in; the dashes by virtue of winning the 50 and 100 yd. freestyle events and go ing on to do an excellent job of anchoring the 400 relay. When it came to Danny in the relay the Aggies were four yards be hind, but not for long, for he soon pulled out ahead to pull another first out of the sock for the Aggies, and a tie for high scoring honors for himself. The Aggies have another dash man that it would do well to watch and one who will probably bring a number of points to the Aggies this season. Jerry Fisher is the man, and he turned in a very creditable performance against the Sooners. He swam second to Green in the 50 yd. freestyle, and in the second lap of the 400 yd. relay overtook Racz of the Sooners to give the Aggies the lead. It was lost again by Syfan, but there is no gripe coming on that point after the previous^ performances he had turned in dur ing the afternoon. Medley Relay: O.U.
