McDowell To Be Serious
Contender for .SIT Honors
i (Editors’ note: Jewel McDowell, ntarting guard on
the.Aggies basketball team, has been selected as The
Battalion sports staff’s scond star of the week for his
superb play against two top-flight eastern teams last
week, I.ong Island University and Niagara University.)
That sizzling sophomore you’re going to hear more and
more about as the basketball season progresses is little Jew
ell McDowell of the Aggfes.
McDowell’s pre-seasem Rotices said he’d be a serious
contender for afl-Southwsggjk, Conference honors, and he’s
he’s going to be just that. 4~ ; —
The fiyti-foot eight-inch Ama
rillo' product is the “court quar-
terback”,! tfop scorer and number
one defensive hand for the Cadets.
An early indication of his prow
ess came last winter when Mc
Dowell engaged the University of
Texas’ brilliant Plater Martin in
an individual duel that was some-
thing to See. Martin had been mak-q bumped against Niagra in Buffalo,
ing 15 and. 20 points the game, but Emilio Sinicola had been boomed
McDowell’s leech-like guarding held as Niagra’s all-American possi-
the Ste^r star to eight points, j bility, haying paced his team in
Martjn, jjpeanwhile, was guarding 1948-49 scoring with 433 points.
McDowell held Sinicola to seven
pointk while garnering 18 himself
to pace all the point-makers.
McDowell is lightning fast, can
hit from the outside and usually
scores once or twice each game by
stealing the ball and dribbling the
court’s length for lay-up buckets.
Fouled cjften in the Aggies’ first
two games this season, Jewell made
the opposition pay by meshing ten
of the 13 free tosses given him.
Although he played against much

The anmial Thanksgiving Diy
battle between A&M and Telus
may not be played on Thanksgiv
ing Day in 1950.
Congress recently declared that
the fourth Thursday in November
would be Trapksgiving Day, That
day is the 23rd;
Nov 30, the last Thursday, las
been set as the date for the j n-
nual grid game between the tvo
schools, according to both schools’
football schedules for 1960.
Contacted yesterday about this
matter, Head Coach Harry Stitje-
ler said, “this comes as a fjhopk
to me. I hadn’t even thought about
the matter. However, it looks
if the game will have td stand as
scheduled. We certainly couldn’t
play the game on the 23rd becaufse
that’s not enough time for cit‘
team to get ready after havi
played on the 10th, I guess
they’ll just have to declare Ndv.
'30th as a school holiday if iiho
holidays for next Thanksgiving
have already been, set for (he
23rd.'’

Bennie Zinn, Assistant Dean [ of
Mon, stated that the school holi

was no sign that they couldn’t he
