But the former Jeff Davis star made us appi
timing last night as he turned in a stellar game
TGU Homed Frogs. The red-headed forward
against the Visitors some of the form that won him
honors in Houston in 1947.
, . Thursday’s performance was Martin’s best since he pip
on A&M'apangles in the fall of ’47. However, tjhe sturdy
6’ 3” athlete saw sufficient service last year to egm a var
sity letter as a sophomore. He tallied 34 points as a reserve
last winter. f ! j
If the Maroons’ 49-45 victory is any indication, Coach
Marty Karow may have turned up his smoothest combination
to date with Martin and Long John DeWitt working oh the
inside and Jewell McDowell, Wally Moon, and either Bill
Tumbow or Mike Garcia on the outside. j
Although considerable height was lost in the process, the
substitution of Martin for 6’ S'’ Buddy Davis or 6’ 7” Ken
Sutton appeared to improve the rebound work of the Cadets.l
Although he probably would have been unable to contest the!
high jumps of 6’ 5Vo” George McLeod, the Houstonian didn’t
need to, as he seemed to sense wher the rebounds Were going
to come down and was there waiting for practically every onej
of the errant shots.
One game is not sufficient criterion to compjletely com-!
pare different players, but last night’s floor work by Martin
was the best inside ball handling the Cadets have displayed at
home this season. The Bayou City product also pi
hook shot that was Well-nigh unblockable—somjet
for him, as he doesn’t usually play the pivot pofjt.

Beii Hogan’s coming back.
He may never regain the form
that made him the nation’s top
professional golfer, but Fort
Worth’s Bantam Ben is < going to
try.
It all depends On his legs.
“I don’t know whether my legs
will stand- up for 18 holes a day
for four days,” Hogan said when
he left for California recently and
the beginning of his comeback.
He was critically injured in a
bus-automobile wreck near Van
Horn, Texas, Feb. 2, 1949.
To Try Comeback
For almost ten months, Hogan
stayed away from a golf course.
Then, he started playing, taking
it slow and easy. Lately, he’s been
going the full distance. And I his
scores were low enough to encour
age him to try and get back on
top where he left off. pro golf
will be getting a break.
There are too few of the fam
iliar “top” players making the
circuit now.
Byron Nelson, another Texan, is
in semi-retirement. Some of the
other stars have quit the long
grind and others are making only
a few .tournaments each year.
Tournament sponsors like to see
young golfers develop, but they
like to have the old established
stars on hand. It is these men that
fans pay to see.
To Make Cowtown Tourney
Hogan probably won’t enter tod
many tournaments ,this year. But
he’ll make the Colonial Invitation
in Fort Worth. He may decide to
try the Texas Open, granddaddy of
the big cash tournaments.
Wherever he goes, Hogan is sure
to draw the biggest gullary.
j People naturally like to watch
him play, particularly .when he’s
got a tough shot to make. He
seems to have Ice water in hi*
veins at times like these.
But it’ll be for an added reason
now. It will be because Hogan came
back.

AP Carries On ...
One begins to wonder, just how
far the Dallas Bureau of the As
sociated Preas will go to .give Doak
Walker publicity when that August
organization sends out the fol
lowing information:

Amurican hnrkfield star, is sad to-

died a little after we returned from
the game, iirhunri H o'clock.
A few weeks ago Butch became
III about the same time that his
muster hud to go to bed withi the
flu. Doak received gifts of food,
medicine and some free medical id-
vice for his pt)t.
But then we shouldn’t forget that
the AP has to do all of the Doak-
er’s publicity now—The Dallas
Morping News is too busy groom
ing Killer Kyle Rote for 1960 All-
America honors to devote much
space to a “has been’’ like Walker.
