ability yesterday afternoon when
Tyler, Junior College continued
their journey to the top spot in
the A&M tourney, defeating a
hard fighting, but outclassed cage
squad from Clifton, 83-36.
The Apaches, considered as the
best junior college basektball team
in the state, wasted little time in
getting started. With the combin
ed help of tall center Rodriquez
and fleet forward Herbert Rich
ardson, the Tyler quintet ran up
a 30 to 10 score with just ten min
utes gone in the fray.
Coach Floyd Wagstaff then let
his second stringers take over.
It didn’t take them long in in
creasing their lead over the low
ly Clifton lads as they rallied to
make the count stand at 38-11 aft
er 15 minutes of play.

Allen 64—Schreiner 63
Pulling the biggest upset of the
tourney, Allen Academy’s rough
cage aggregation, led by second
string center Robert Jones, an
nexed its second straight win as
they defeated the Schreiner Insti
tute lads last night in the sev
enth game, 64-63.
The fray got under way with
both teams being unable to score
in the first two minutes of com
petition.
Schriener quickly took a slight
lead and managed to increase
it to a 15 to 10 count at the
end of 9 minutes of play.
Keeping an extra tight defense
in the early minutes, the Institute
boys hardly let a eager pass the
circle, but as soon as the Bryan
basketballers found the hoop the
game developed into a real thrill
er.
Nip and tuck the whole first
half, the score ended at mid-pe
riod with the Mountaineers ahead
by a 32 to 26 count.
This was short lived as the
reorganized Allen lads began to
click, and click is just what they
did. The whole team, led by tall
center Bob Jones, showed a de
cided improvement when the last
half began.
If there was some kind of a re
ward for scoring the most points
in the least amount of time, the
prize would have gone to Allens’
center Robert Jones. He scored 9
points in the first nine minutes
and by the end of four minutes,
he increased it to 12.
It continued to be a nip and
tuck affair as each team would
take the lead every few minutes.
With only two minutes left
in the game the score was tied
at 61 all. Harlan Vanderzee,
who played a spectacular defen
sive game for the Schriener
bunch while making 21 of his

Jim Dwire will again be favored
to take the breaststroke event.
When the two teams met at Ag-
gieland, Dwire took this race away
from Gene Summers, to give him
a slight edge in favor; however
should Coach Adamson decide to
swim Summers again, it will be a
fight to the finish for the five
point first place.
Coach Adamson, in all px-dbabil-
ity, will use his regular procedure
of shifting the squad in order to
make the meet as interesting as
possible for the spectators, and yet
win the clash for the Aggies. This
is standard practice for the Ag
gie mentor, who is more interested
in a good meet than in large scores
and one for which he should be
commended.

In the second half Lamar
