Aggie Cager s W:in Over Horned F rogs 39-37
Fish Drop Wharton 61-36
By TRAVIS BROCK
Superb play under the baskets
by Dick Bentley and Buddy Davis
aided the Aggie Fish cagers to a
easy 61-36 victory over Wharton
Junior College last night in De-
Ware Field House.
Building up a two point lead
in the first fifteen seconds of play
with a field goal by Bobby Farmer
and another field goal by Eddie
Houser increased this margin to
four points with only one minute
of playing time gone.
Landers broke the ice for Whar
ton with a push shot from the
foul circle, but the rally was short
lived when Buddy Davis began
hitting the basket from all angles.
The Fish jumped into a 11 point
lead midway of the first half with
shots from far out by Farmer, and
Raymond Walker and a nice tip-in
shot by Davis.
Five minutes before the half
time period, Wharton began to
find the range of the basket, with
2 field goals 'by Landers and an
other by Young, to pull within
seven points of the Aggie Fish.
This short rally began to fade as
Davis regained his sights to add
three more points to his total.
Two field goals by Bill Bybee
and Bill Gibbs just before the first
half ended gave the Fish a 36-21
margin.
Increasing their lead steadily
from the start of the second half
with Davis contributing eight
points in the first nine minutes of
play, the Aggie Fish had gained
a 22 point margin.

this time and until the final whis
tle it was a rough and tumble bat
tle with numerous fouls being call
ed against each side.
The Pioneers could not break
through the tight defense set up
by the Fish and their shots were
mostly from far out.
Showing smoother ball handling
and bettfer play under the baskets,
the Fish looked considerably bet
ter than they did with the Tyler
Junior College five the night be
fore in DeWare Fieldhouse.

NEW RAM OPPONENTS
NEW YORK Once-mighty Ford-
ham meets Army on the gridiron
next season, in the Ram’s back-to-
the top program. It is the first
meeting between the two. Yale
and Scranton also will be played
for the first time by the Fordham
eleven. Other opponents are Kings
Point, Georgetown, Rutgers and
NYU—holdovers—and Boston Col
lege, to be met for the first time
since 1942 and Syracuse for the
first time since 1909.
Aggie Tankers
Meet Mustangs
Tomorrow at 3
The Texas A&M swimming team
will meet their second Southwest
Conference foe when they go up
against the SMU team at the P. L.
Downs Natatorium, Saturday af
ternoon at 3 o’clock.
The Aggies will go into the meet
a slight favorite after holding the
Oklahoma Sooners to a closer de
cision than did the Mustangs, but
a break either way could mean the
difference between victory and de
feat.
Should the SMU coach decide to
swim Mike Muckelroy in the 50
and 100, a good race is in the off
ing between him and the Aggie
dash star, Danny Green. Against
the Sooners, Mike swam the 220
and 440, and it is unknown as yet
which races he will swim against
the Aggies.
Probable lineup for the Aggies
will be:
300 medley relay: Kruse, Flow
ers, McKenzie.
220 freestyle: Syfan, Vardeman.
50 freestyle: Green, Fisher.
Diving: Potter, Strait.
100 freestyle. Green, McKenzie.
150 backstroke: Kruse, Fleming.
200 breaststroke: Flowers, Sum
mers.
440 freestyle: Syfan, Vardeman.
400 freestyle relay: McKenzie,
Fisher, Clevenger, Green.
PROMISING CENTER
A boy who never played a down
of freshman football for the Texas
Aggies figures in the plans of the
Cadets for the next three seasons.
He is Pat Diffie, promising fresh
man center from Gladewater. Dif
fie suffered a shoulder injury while
drilling with the South stars in
preparation for the 1948 all-star
high school game in Abilene. An
operation has put the injury back
in shape and Diffie will take part
in spring drills.

Hundred Candidates Expected
Today for Spring Training
Spring football training, or “the Aggies’ preparations
proceeding their attempt to climb from the Southwestern
Conference football cellar,” begins this afternoon at four
o’clock.
Around a hundred candidates are expected to report.
Topping this list are twelve letter- *
men from last year’s squad four
of whom were 1948 regulars, and
two lettermen of previous years.
Also reporting will be 14 players
who were ineligible or injured last
fall, and 53 from last fall’s great
Freshman team.
Head coach Harry Stiteler and
his coaching staff have the work
laid out for them; it promises to
be one of the toughest coaching
jobs ever attempted in the South
west Conference. The squad will
be heavy in numbers and maybe
in weight but it’s light in exper
ience.
Assisting Stiteler will be back-
field coach Dick Todd, line coach
Bill DuBose, end coach J. T. King,
and Freshman coach Bones Irvin.
Also slated to aid him will be six
former Aggie gridmen of previous
years. These are Marion Flanagan,
Monty Moncrief, Burl Baty, Clovis
Olsak, Martin Ruby, and Milton
Routt.
Here is the list of candidates as
of Thursday:

Schrickel Leads
Aggies to Loop
Win Over Frogs
By SACK SPOEDE
A&M’s basketball team won
the f i g h t to keep out of
the conference cellar in their
battle with the TCU Horn
ed Frogs at DeWare Field
House last night when they
edged the Froggies, 39-37. For the
second night in a row the Aggies
were unable to break 40 in their
scoring efforts. This time: how
ever, the opponents were also not
so hot at hitting the bucket.
In fact, if one Frank Kudlaty
had placed the ball in the net in
the first half as he did in the
second, the Aggies would not be
feeling so good as they do today.
At half time, this tall forward left
the court with exactly no points
to his credit, but returned in the
second half to put three field goals
and four free throws into the
bucket, at the east end of the gym,
to end the game with 10 points
and second high scoring honoi’s.
If it takes tall boys to win
basketball games, then the Ag
gies lost the game last night,
fpr the TCU boys were tall,
though somewhat in the broom
stick category. Food must be
getting mighty scarce out where
the west begins. Boys way over
six feet tall were playing at
the guard position for the Toads.
J. J. “Daddy” Dolnics, the lead
ing scorer in the conference, pro
tected his lead in the conference
with 17 points but was having
trouble at the stax*t of the game
in getting the ball. In the first
half, he raised the scoi’e of the
Frogs from three to ten points all
by his lonesome.
Team captain Gene Schrickel
led the scoring and provided the
spark for the Aggies in the
clinches. At one point, in the
latter part of the game, with
Aggies yelling to hold the ball,
Gene gambled and sank a long
shot to provide the winning mar
gin for the Aggies. A&M’s last
four points were made by the
lad from Arlington to bring his
total for the night to nine points.
Bill Batey, leading scorer for the
Aggies for the two seasons pro
ceeding this, was a surprise start
er in the place of Jim Kirkland
at a forward position.
Dick Todd, Texas A&M’s new
backfield coach, caught xxxore of
Sammy Baugh’s passes than any
other member of the Washington
Redskins last season, fielding 37
for six touchdowns and 550 yards
in total gains.
