t
Tyler Apaches Are Champions Of State Basketball Tourney
Lamar Defeated by Tyler; Lon Morris Wins
Third, Amarillo Wins Consolation Title
By The Batt Sports Staff
Tyler Junior College annexed the championship in the Second Annual State Junior
College Basketball Tournament here last night when it defeated Lamar Junior College of
Beaumont, 78 to 41.
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

at the tournament that they were
out to grab the first place trophy.
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. They then tied it up be-

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.

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

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.
