That was the yi won 26 games and lost oi both by" a single point. Big Tom enabled the Steers to post a 20-5 record in ’47 and |48. With coach Jack Grey using only six men almost all the timje, Texas upset Baylor, conference champs, and won a bid to New,York’s Na tional Invitation Tournament. . Womack for Martin Taking the place of Martin at the guard position, Frank Wom ack, 5’ 11” • sharpshooter from Houston, is probably the Long horns’ best back-courter.; Wom ack lettered as a reserve guard last year. 3 Joe Ed Falk. 6’ 4” sophomore, was placed in the center position after Hamilton moved to forward. Falk,who made all-stale: w h i l e playing for Milby . (Houston)! is noted for his set shots, coming from about 15 feet out. He hard ly ever misses on these attempts.

Both teams won their sefni-final rounds after considerable trouble. A Infantry gained entrance into the finals with a win over B In fantry that was so close that a cat whisker couldn’t separate one team from the other. A Infantry won the game on the last play when they barely made their sec ond forty yard penetration with inches to spare. A Infantry won by a score of three penetrations to two for B Infantry although B Infantry led in first downs with five to four for A Infantry. Tom Ball ami “Diego” Davis were the outstand ing linesmen for B Infantry while “Doggie” McClure and Jack Tur- cotte turned in creditable per formances for A A Infantry can be credited for having a veiy stout defensive team. For twice -in the second half B Infantry drove within A Infan try’s one foot line and failed to score.
