trip. Besides his hardwoods activity, he is covering the AAM games
I for The Battalion. With due apologies to W. K. Colville and The

Of course, Glenn doesn’t know about this yet, but we’re sure ( ?) he

Special
STILLWATER, Okla., Dec. 8~j-
Coach Marty Karow and his Tex
as A&M basketball team hopped
on the bandwagon of the many
supporters who annually rate the
^Oklahoma Aggies as one of the
top quintets in the nation here
Wednesday night.
The reason: The Aggies from
the Sooner state staged an amaz
ing demonstration of expert ball
handling, deadly shooting and an
impenetrable defense in downing
the Texas cadets 55-34 before a
near-capacity crowd in Gallagher
Hall.
Oklahoma’s Cowboys had things
going their way from the opening
whistle until the final horn. They
tallied five points before Jewell
McDowell’s free pitch broke the
ice for the visitors.
