He drew a round of laughter when he ex-, plained hoW Aggie athletes got around the NCAA requirement of receiving only one free meal a day from the school: “They just eat from eight in the morning to six in the evening—just one big meal!” Molberg Named Most Valuable Carl Molberg, aggressive junior guard from FredrickSburg, was awarded the Lipscomb-Colson Most Valuable Player Award dur ing the program. W. jN. “Flop” Colson made the preseritation. Molberg's running mate, guard Max Greiner, was honclred by be ing named to receive the Bert Pfaff Best Blocker Award. Coach Stite ler presented the award to the Beaumont three-year letterman. Lipscomb-Colson pen and pencil sets wore given the 1049 co-cap- stains, Wray Whittaker and Bob by Goff. Whittaker, former Jeff Davis (Houston) end star, and Goff, power back from Kenedy, completed their careers as Cadet gridstera during the past cam- paign. i Lotto,rmen Presented Medals The only other non-returning let- terrnen arc backi D0n Nicholas and Jim Cashion, guard Dick Scott, and linebacker Dick CWIender. The entire group of 35 football letter- mein were! presented with their “T" medals and bars by Aggie Sweet heart Jcannine Holland. Freshman coach Marion Pugh introduced the freshman football numeral winners, • Toastmaster Howard Jones, executive secretary of San Antonio Chamber of Com merce, eyoked envious whistles when he told’of reading recently that Georgia Lee. a Powers model from Santone who has won the title of "Sweater Girl of ’49”, says that her heart belongs to Dick Self, one of the Fish gridmen. Harriers Honored Miss Holland, besides assisting D. W. Williams, Athletic Council chairman, to present awards to the football players, helped President elect M. T. Harrington award med als to the cross country runhers. Captain Julian Herring, Jerry Bonnen, Howard Jones, John Gar- many, Jim McMahon, and Alexan der Ortiz were the members of the Conference championship harrier equad who won letters. The crowd of several hundred Aggie followers who attended the banquet were entertained with sev eral numbers sung by Buddy Boyd and Gloria Martin during the evem ing's program. Leonard Perkins accompanied the singers. Four teams now share the lead —Baylor, A&M, Arkansas,] snd SMU. Each has / won three con tests while dropping two. Texas and TCU are tied for seco|nd with 2-2 records, and Rice is alone in the cellar with a 1-5 slate. The Rice loss to Baylor po.unded the Owls deeper info the hole on Jan uary 21. Though the SWC is not consider ed as one of the nation’s stronger organizations this year. It is one of the most interesting conferences due to its highly competitive ac tion. Baylor Game Decisive Friday’s game with Baylor will virtually decide Cadet chances of winning the flag race. The Aggies’ last championship came in 1923. Their best mark was registered in 1920 after taking 19 Straight games without defeat. Some hoop-happy fans of the Bryan-College Station are claiming that Coach Majrty Karow has as sembled the bpst quintet in the history of A&M. The young Farmers have as good a chance as any one to win the conference, but they have a long, tough road to trod. Five of A&M’s remaining sevdn games are away from home, and traveling teams this year have turned in Relatively poor records. Coach Bill Henderson’s Bears are double-tough to whip on their home floor. They will depend hn a recently installed fast break. Captains "Lighting” Hickman and Bill DeWitt, brother of "Long John’’ mastermind the Bruin play. This style of play successfully destroyed Arkansas’ slow, deliber ate ball-control game and enabled the Bears to share with A&M the honor of bowling over the confer ence favorites. Odell Preston, O' 3” rebounding demon, and sparkplug Bill Brack will be among the starting five. Don Heathington has been favor ing a twisted knee all season, but he is expected to start the game. A&M Tops oa Defense The Aggies hold the best defen sive record in the conference, al lowing the opposition only 43.6 points per game. Lately Baylor has sparkled defensively, indicating a low-scoring game. The Aggies have the two tallest men on the court in 6’ 8” Walter Davis and 6’ 5” John DeWitt but the Bruins hold a slight edge in overall height. “We’ve got to play our best ball of the season to beat Baylor on their home court,” Karow said Wednesday, j The next Ag contest will be against SMU in Dallas Tuesday, night.
