Last Week’s Intersectional Plaf
'
\'
HY HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Awwditrd PrcM Sports Editor
' I — i;
1 Th« Hwithwoit Copferonce’i head
not only 1« bloody but bowed In
the three weeks of the basketball
' r campaign.
L Intoriurtionally. the Southwcut is
a big washout. The boys haven’t
played each other yet but the re-
, suits against outside opposition In
dicate there isn’t a strong team
in the flock.
i Lust‘■week they lost nine inter-:
sectional games while winning only
three.. That brought the record for
* the season to date to seven wins
against twenty defeats. That’s not
' even mediocre. —-
t \ Humiliating
, And some of the lickings ab-
* > sorbed were quite humiliating. For
instance Baylor, one of the confer
ence favorites, was whammed by
Kansas State, 30 to 78. Arkansas,
63 to 65, and Indiana, 50 to 75.
Texas Christian, which hadn’t lost
a -gtyne until last week, was
swamped by Bradley, 49 to 85.
Southern Methodist was tumUed by
Colorado, 48 to 71, and Texas Chris
tian was licked byr St. Louis, 58
to 80. i
It will be a relief when
conference games start and
quintets can quit worrying d
protection of life and limb. |
The only Intersectional
registered last week were ft
58-to-50 decision over Ant
Toxrta Christian’s 87-to-85 vi(
[dyer Missouri and Rice’s 60-
trimming of Southwestern LouJM-
ana Institute.
Texas and Rice showed the mdst
improvement, Rice previously had
lost to SLI, 26 to 42. Texan not
only whipped Arizona, which beat
Texas A&M, 58 to 50, but we: it all
out in an 84-to-37 rout of Tnhtty
University.
McDowell Second
It enabled Tom Hamilton, big
Texas forward, to take over *ihe
scoring leadership. He came all thc
way from sixth to the top with- his
114 points. Jewell McDowell, Texas
A&M guard, forged from fifth to
second place with 112.
Southern Methodist plays dm
er game with Colorado at I
Monday night Tuesday night)
lor goes against Tulane at San An-
tohio and Texas Christian plays
Wichita at WichiU, Kan.
.Wednesday and Thursday Rice
tries Colorado at Boulder, Sbuth-
cm Methodist plays MiHoari at
Dallas Friday and Saturday, and
Arkansas engages Oklahoma ARM

In Sugar Bowl Ttitck Meet
Texas A&M College, king bee
in Southwest Conference track and
cross country circles for the past
two years, will send five athletes
to the Sugar Bowl track meet at
New Orleans later this month.
Ray Holbrook, present holder of
the SWC 440-yard dash record and
a member of thw Aggies’ crack mile
relay team last spring, will enter
the half- mile event. The sturdy-
legged* Baytown product will be
wearing the Aggie spangles for
the last time since he will not be
eligible for varsity competition
next spring.
A ^uartermiler
Although Holbrook is best known
as a quarter-miler, he once com
peted as a half-miler and placed In
that event at the Sugar Bowl soon
after being discharged fron) the
service three years ago. He has
been impressive in recent < time
trials.
Coaches Frink Anderson and
Ray Putnam also will take the
ntw version of the Aggie mile re
lay team. The Cadets won this
event last Sugar Bowl meet, but
only Donald Mitchell is back I from
lust season’s fast foursome. The'

Mexia ■ Littlefield Game Dec. 26
To Close Schoolboy Grid Race
BY WILBUR MARTIN
i
Associated Press Staff Writer
Texas schoolboy football, whic^
figured to wind up the 1949 season
this week, now must wait until the
day after Christmas to call it a
year. *
Football teams of Mexia and Lit
tlefield agreed Sunday to meet at
Fair P^iir stadium in Abilene on
Monday, Dec. 26, to decide the
Class A championship of Texas.
Pass defense helped Wichita
Falls roll over Highland Park. The
Coyotes intercepted five passes and
two intercepted set up Wichita
Falls’ I touchdowns.
Wicnita Falls will meet Austin
for the Class A A crown at Fort
Worth’s TCU stadium at 2 p. m.
Friday.
Austin upset Port Arthtfr, 20 to
14, last week to advance Ito the
finals.
Wichita Falls blanked Highland
Park (Dallas), 21 to 0; Littlefield
whipped Garland, 27 to 13, and
Mexia edged Uvalde, 7 to 6.
Grid Power
The finals will match exponents
of power football.
Wichita Falls has a terrific
ground game, while Austin has
used little else in running over
twelve of thirteen opponents this
year. Wichita Falls is undefeated
and untied, as is Mexia.
Littlefield’s ground game has
been spectacular and it is this fad
that makes the South Plu^hs e’.eveto
a fkvorite over Mexia.
Both Wichita Fails and Austdn
have won state titles beforfc, but
this ik the fiPst time that Lit
tlefield and Mexia have been this
far in the Class A rtree, playing td
a state championship for the sec
ond season.
Bobby Warren and John Salyer
combined to rip Port ..(Arthur’s
rugged line to bits. They carry the
backfield punch for Johnny Kitch
en’s Maroons.
Jimmy Self, Tommy Fields and
Bill Waggoner are the backfield
ncos of Wichita Falls. .
Biggest Threat
Littlefield’s biggest backfield
threat is Tommy Bailes, while
Mexia has Derrell Carlile.tol spark
its scoring. | * J
It is no surprise that Wichita
Falls and Littlefield are in the
finals of their respective races. But
Mexia and Austin are definite sur
prises.
Mexia had to knock out the pre
season Class A favorite,! New
Braunfels, in the playoff and Aus
tin ran up against Port Arthur,
the team sportswriters had tag
ged the best in the state!
hart have made two ,of the other
three positions on the team and the
third will be known today. Bernard

McCarty ire waging a hot buttle
for the tffird berth. ;
