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

Ozark team. 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.

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.

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.
