The climax of the tournament came in the last game at nine o’clock last night after the third place and consolation champs had been decided. Third place winner was decided at 6 p.m. when the local boys from' 1 Bryan, the Allen Academy Ram blers, lost a hard one to the Lon Morris Bearkats, 62-61. At 7:30, Amarillo’s Badgers defeated the Paris Dragons 64 to 54 to cop the consolation prize on the ether side of the bracket sheet. The game was close until the beginning of the last half when the Dragons seemed to fall apart and Amarillo had little trouble going on to the „ win. The all-tournament team, se-. lected by the officials, coaches, and sports writers, consisted of forwards Joe Palafox of Tyler • and Ray Burroughs of Lon Mor ris, guards A1 Renta of Lon Mor ris and Charles Shoptaw of La mar, and center Dave Rodriguez. The most valuable player of the tournament was Joe Palafox of Tyler. for the Apaches when he took a pass from Miller and weaved through two opposing cagers to lay the ball in the middle of the hoop. Quickly gathering points by leaps and bounds the Tyler basket- bailers ran up an 8 to 0 lead by the end of two minutes of play. Rodriquez fouled tall Lamar center Bill Moody, who made a free throw for the Beaumont squad, to rack up the first point scored by the Cardinals. Moody had a hard time getting his hands on the ball while being guarded by all-tournament Dave Rodri quez, who kept him covered like an umbrella throughout the game. Palafox led the talented Apache cagers all the way. Champion and Rodriquez also helped the cause on the defensive side. Combining a fast break with an extra tight defense, the Tyler lads, in little David Rodriquez started scoring or no time showed the large crowd Lovely Delicate CALIFORNIA PETAL WARE by SUMAN STARTER SETS Regularly $43 Now Only $28.70 DECORATOR SHOP —by HASWELL’S East Gate, College Station REGrU S.

Increasing a 15 point half time lead to a 24 point margin in 9 minutes over the Cardinals, the Tyler lads kept on making buckets like the United States Steel Corp oration, and by the end of 15 min utes of playing time the score read 65 to 36. Charlie Shoptaw, Lamars’ hus- sling forward, showed the fans that he too could play an excel lent brand of ball. The hard play ing Beaumont ace meshed a total of 12 points, and exhibited that “never say die” spirit to the very end. Amarillo 64—Paris 54 The Amarillo College Badgers trimmed Paris 64-54 to win the Consolation trophy in the Junior College Tournament. The Badgers lost their opening game to Schrei ner but came back to defeat How ard and Tarleton to gain the final round of play. In last night’s contest Paris held a brief lead in the opening minutes of the game but Ama rillo came back to take a 17-9 advantage after eight minutes of play. The Badgers cotninued to find the mark the rest of the first half and led 36-26 at the intermission. In the final half of the game the Amarillo team again found the range and increased their lead to 48-33 at the end of the third quar ter. The two teams traded point for point during most of the fourth quarter with Paris never being able to cut the Amarillo lead more than two or four points. Carter of Amarillo topped the scorers with 17 points while Mar tin and Buddy Taylor dropped in 14 and 13 for the Paris team. Lon Morris 62—Allen 61 In a close contest filled with fouls, fast breaks, near broken arms, and plenty of action the Lon Morris Bearkats slipped a 62-61 wun over a detei'mined Allen Aca demy squad in the Junior College playoffs for third place. Ray Burroughs, Lon Morris’ candidate for an all-tourney berth, started off the scoring when he sank a pretty back- handed. shot from side court. The Bearkat cagers began to run away with the game, but as soon as Skinny Bridges and center Louie Wills began to get their eye, the Allen lads cut this lead in half.

BOX SCORE TYLER S Battalion PORT FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1949 Page 3 Aggies Close Out Basketball Season Tonight Against Owls The Texas Aggies and the Rice Owls close their 1948-*49 basketball slate tonight at 8 p.m. when they tangle in De- Ware Fieldhouse. ' The Aggies will be trying for their third conference win of the season, and will also be trying to knock the Owls out of a share of the conferenced —— — Harlan Vandefzee and Jack Idoux from Allen Academy go up for a rebound in the Schreiner-Alien game Wednesday night. Other players in the picture are Holly Murdock (21) of Allen, Jack Straus of Schreiner (number hidden), and Bobby Donahue (7) of the Moun taineers of Kerrville. Allen won the game 64-63. fore the Jacksonville boys pulled another rally. Again the Academy cagers be gan to catch up. When the bell sounded ending the half the count stood at 35 to 30 in favor of the Kats. , With eight minutes gone in the second period with the count stan ding at 42 to 46 in favor of the Ramblers, Renta tried to block a shot by Wills and stuck his arm out a bit too far. He very nearly ended up with a broken arm. As it turned out, the Jacksonville eager only threw his elbow out of joint and stayed to play the remainder of the fray. The Allen cagers showed the big gest improvement of any team so far, when they took to the hard wood in the second period. At last the big boys began to use their height. Paris 62—Blinn 50 Defensive minded Blinn Junior College was unable to stop a last minute push by the Paris Dragons and lost 62 to 50. Paris advanced to the Consolation finals by virtue of their victory. The game was see-saw battle all the way through with both sloppy and polished playing at times. Blinn’s tight man-to-man defense helped them gain a 30 to 26 lead at half time. Paris had gained the initiative in the first few minutes but once Blinn’s defense gelled, the game took on a nip and tuck air. The lead changed three times during the first twenty minutes. Both teams opened eager in the second stanza and for the first five minutes, race horse basketball prevailed. This may have tired the Blinn quintet for after the ten minute mark the Bucaneers loosened their 42-37 advantage and Paris started sinking both their long shots and set ups. Lamar o8—Allen 48 Continuing their surge upward in the state tournament the Lamar Cardinals of Beaumont started slow but came back to hand Alien Academy a 58 to 48 drubbing, to enter the tourney finals. Allen, led by Skinny Bridges^ took a quick four point lead, but were unable to hold on to it as the Redskins got hot making 90% of their long shots count in the early minutes. Allen’s Skinny Bridges was tru ly the star of the game. Bridges led his Bryan cagers all the way; He played a whale of a defensive game managing to stay out of the referees sight and other players way slipping through the fray without a foul. Led by Charlie Shoptan, the Redskins, after overtaking an ear ly lead by the Academy boys, in creased their advantage very slow ly, but went on to rack up an other one for the books. Coach Thurmond Hills’ cagers looked exceptionally well in ' the first half and before the whistle sounded managed to grab a 32-19 half way lead.

Officials: Bietzle and William- a crown. Rice, who now boasts an 8-3 record, must win this game if they are to tie Arkansas and Bay lor for the flag. The Razorbacks and Bears have already closed their schedule with identical 9-3 records. The Owls have improved im mensely since their narrow 54-53 win over the Aggies earlier in the season. On the other hand, the Ag gies are also a much improved 4 | ballclub. Since they suffered that 1 point defeat, they have added Jewell McDowell to the roster, and also during this time, Wally Moon has crashed into the starting line up. Moon, who did not play in the first meeting of these two teams, is expected to team with McDowell at the guards. John DeWitt, the only conference player that has held Bill Tom to under ten points a game, will start at center, and Gene Schrickel and Billy Turnbow will probably be at forwards. Schrickel, captain of the Aggie five, will be playing his last col lege basketball game tonight. Jim Kirkland and Bill Batey, two re serves who will probably see a lot of action before the evening AGGIES!!! For the best BURGERS and the Coldest Drinks in Bryan TRY The Chicken Shanty Highway 6 and College Road At the “Y” is over, will close their college careers against the Owls. Rice, as usual, will be led by their star center, Bill Tom. Tom has been the main reason why the Owls are battling at the top of the conference lader. To team with Tom, Coach Joe Davis will probably start Warren Switzer, Bob Foley,, David Cook, and Joe McDermott. In the opening game at 6 p.m., the Aggie freshman team will meet the Rice Blue Bolts. In this con test, the Fish will try to snap a three game losing streak and close the season with a win. The frosh beat the young Owls decisively in the first meeting, but tonight’s game promises to be much closer. It has been announced that ticket holders N-Z will be admitted first. At 7:30 the doors will be thrown open to the rest. The Largest . . . ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE STORE In Bryan— Come in and see us for large or small appliances: RADIOS . .
