Kentucky Places Groza And
Beard on All-American Five
NEW YORK, March 11—UP)—
Two players from the South, and
one each from the East, Midwest
and Rocky Mountains make up the
1949 Associated Press All-America
basketball team.
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.
Groza and Lavelli, seniors like
Beard and Macauley, each moved

Big City Playoffs
Will Begin Friday
HOUSTON, March 11 —(A 3 ) Big
City Conference schools, winners
of six state schoolboy basketball
titles since 1942, start a tourna
ment of their own here today.
From 1942 through 1948, the
years under which the University
of Texas Interscholastic League
operated on a three-division basis,
schools which now comprise the
new Big City Conference domina
ted the basketball picture.
Houston’s Jeff Davis and Dallas’
Crozier Tech each won two class
AA titles, while Sunset of Dallas
and Paschal of Fort Worth took
one each. Only El Paso High, in
1947, interrupted this string of
successes.
Two of those former state cham
pions—Paschal and Sunset— will
be among the eight teams here
Friday when the League inaugur
ates its fourth division. Paschal,
with an undefeated run of 21 vic
tories this season, is almost a una
nimous choice.
First and second-place winners
in district races in Houston, San
Antonio, Fort Worth, and Dallas
make up the tournament’s field. A
four-game schedule of first round
play is set for Friday afternoon
and night at the Houston Public
School Field House.
Friday:
2 p. m. Lanier, (11-1) San An
tonio, vs. San Jacinto (10-4) Hou
ston.
3:30 p. m.—Paschal (10-0) Fort
Worth vs. Sunset, (7-3), Dallas.

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!

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.
In Southwest Conference com
petition last season, A&M finish
ed in fourth place behind Texas,
Rice, and TCU. This season Texas
and Rice lead the field with A&M,
Baylor, and TCU running a close
race for third. A&M’s schedule for
the coming season has the Farm
ers entertaining SMU, April 2;
TCU, April 9; Texas, April 13; anc
Baylor, April 29. The Cadets wili
travel to Rice, April 19 and tc
Arkansas, May 7 for their othe*
two conference matches. l
