basketball squads will leave for
Austin tomorrow to tangle with
the hardwood representatives of
Texas ^University in Gregory Gym-,
naisuni.
After suffering an upset loss to
the front-running Baylor Bears
last week, Texas rebounded'; last
night to take a 55-52 victory over
Rice before a ^packed Gregory mob.
, Without the services of Slater
Martin, all-America guard on
some dream teams during his last
two. years, the Longhorns will en
ter the game with four players
who are t^ceiving their first ac
tion as first-stringers this season.

year as a letterman is Tom Ham

playoff. 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.
Bill McGee, 8’ 4", will be atihe
remaining forward position. Mc
Gee made the freshman team at
Notre Dame before deciding to

The Longhorns have a speedy,
sharp-shooting guard in the form
of Bill Huffman. 6’ 2” senior from
Pasadena. Huffman and Hamil
ton have received the most credit
for. TU triumphs this year.
Grey stated that his team play
ed its best ball of the season in
losing to Arkansas, 51-60, in Fay
etteville. Aggie fans certainly
Lope so. ! ■
If records are taken into con
sideration, the Fish team should
n’t have too much difficulty with
the Shorthorns. The Baylor first-
year men triumphed, 57-41, on
January T.
The Fish have an edge in tall

A Quartermaster and A Infantry
are in the final round of the play
offs for the Flag Football Champ
ionship of the Military Class. 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
