This geographically representa tive quintet contrasts sharply with the 1948 five which was dominated completely by the Midwest. Last year four cagers from the Mid lands were on the first team. Kentucky’s NCAA champions and the nation’s No. 1 team, con tributed the two players from the South—Alex Groza \ and Ralph Beard. Ed Macauley, of St. Louis, is the Midwest representative. Tony Lavelli, of Yale, represents the East and Vince Boryla, of Denver, the Rocky Mountains. Beard and Macauley are repeat ers from the 1948 team. Kevin O’Shea, of Notre Dame, and Jim McIntyre, of Minnesota, selected on the 1948 first team, only made the third team in this year’s voting by 404 sportswrit- ers and broadcasters throughout the nation.

DeLUXE CAFE SERVES THE BEST IN FOOD The Bryan Home of the Texas Aggies J. Paul Sheedy* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test IF PEOPLE are whiskering about you, better check up on your hair. Before J.P. switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil hair tonic, he was wide open for all kinds of catty remarks about his ratty appearance. Not so today! Now that he’s using Wildroot Cream-Oil regularly, annoying dryness and loose, ugly dan druff are gone. His hair stays put all day. He can pass the Wildroot Finger-Nail Test without batting an eye. J.P.’s experience leads us to suggest that you try non-alcoholic Wildroot Cream-Oil containing Lanolin, too. Get yourself a bottle or tube today at your drug or toilet goods counter. And, have your barber give you professional applications. You’ll agree that for well-groomed hair Wildroot Cream-Oil it purr-feet! * of 327 Burroughs Dr. Snyder, N. Y. Wildroot Company, Inc., Buffalo 11, N. Y. Metcalfe, and Gray played for the fish team last year. Aaronson is the strongest addition to the var sity this year. He hits his serve and his backhand hard, and has an exceptionally good fbrehand. Met calfe is the smoothest stroker on the team hitting each ball with a complete follow through. Gray has a strong serve and a well rounded net game. Hoover is the best all- around player and plays a mechan ical game from the backline. In the Ags last meetings with the Cougars, the Cadets won two of the three matches played. Stanford, Sellars, and Wallis are the only members of the present team to have played against the Cougars. Sellars won one and lost five of the matches that he played against the Cougars. Wal lis won both of his matches, and Stanford won four of his six matches that he played in this series. Although the Cougars have a strong team, the Farmers are expected to come through with a win. Running in the same direction as the other fish teams, the fish tennis team is stronger than the varsity. Heading the list of fish players is P. G. DeBerry from San Angelo. He will play the num ber one singles position for tl}e fish .Royce Tate and Bobby Dun can, both from Corpus Christ!, will team up to form the number one doubles team for the fish. Aaron Cohen from San Antonio will play singles and team, with DeBerry for doubles. The fish are favored to win by a large margin.
