Fish Quintet Meets
Baylor, Wharton
On Weekend Jaunt
By NICK MANITZAS
A&M’s Fish basketball team is
in for a rough weekend, meeting
the Baylor Cubs in the curtain
raising game for the varsity tilt
in Waco tonight at 6, and taking
on the Wharton Junior College Pi
oneers in Wharton Saturday
night.
Gene Schrickel, who was co-cap
tain of last season’s varsity bas
ketball team, has been appointed
by Athletic Director Barlow Irvin
to take over the reins of the Fish
basketball team since Les Peden,
last semester’s coach, has returned
to the Chicago Cubs after obtain
ing his degree in physical educa
tion last semester.
The starting quintet for the fish
will be chosen from Leroy Miksch,
Max Montegut, Don Heft, Joe Gul-
ledge, Wally Bleyl, Don Garrett,
and Jimmy Velvin, Schrickel said.
Under Les Peden’s guidance the
Fish fared quite well with a 3-2
record. In the Aggies first game
of the season they were ousted
from the Lon Morris home court
with a solid 49-57 licking. The
Fish’s next game which was in De-
Ware Field House saw the Aggies
romp past the Wharton Pioneers
43-37. Allen Academy was the
next to fall before the Fish, but in
the next game the Texas Short-

horns dropped the freshmen back
into the loss column. Last week
the Fish routed the Rice Slimes
56-46.
Leading scorers for the Fish are
Leroy Miksch (52 points), Max
Montegut (29 points), Don Garrett
(23 points), Don Heft (21 points),
and Joe Gulledge (18 points). Jim
my Velvin trails close behind the
top scorers.
The game tonight will be the
first meeting between the Cubs
and the Fish this season. The
junior Bruins have a very impres
sive record having won five games
and lost only one. ' SMU’s frosh
quintet is the only team that has
defeated the Cubs this season. On
the win list the Cubs rate the vote
over the North Texas frosh (46-28,
52-35), the Texas frosh (57-41),
Lon Morris (67-63), and the TCU
frosh (53-38).
Davis Tops for Cubs
Coach Bill Menefree of the Cubs
has five very capable men who are
improving with every game. Dar
rell Davis leads the team with 79
points, and John Starky is close
behind with 64 points. Lonnie
Quillen, who is 6’ 5”, is in third
place with 39 points. Next in line
on the scoring list are Joe Miles,
Roland Elledge, Skip Parker, and
Bob McDonald.
Coach Johnnie Frankie, who was
named "coach of the year’’ by the
Texas Sportswriters’ Association,
will lead his club into this game
with a little gleam in his eye look
ing- for a win over the Fish having
lost the first game. Frankie was
once assistant backfield coach for
the Aggie football varsity team.
Jimmy Velvin, 5’ 11” forward
from Longview, paced the Fish in
their last game against the Pio
neers. Montegut, Miksch, Gulledge
and Richard Bess were the other
Fish that lead the Fish to their
first win at home.
Dave Gilder, Tom Burnett, Ger
ald Cecil, John Powell and Neel
Kelsey scored the majority of the
points for Wharton in the last
meeting and are expected to do
even better on their home court.
Swimmers Meet
Saylor Mermen
By RAEPH GORMAN
Saturday qtfternoon at 3:30 in
the Baylor gymnasium pool is the
time and plafce for the annual dual
swimming meet between the tank
men of Baylor and A&M.
A stlong Aggie aggregation,
which dropped a close decision to
powerful Oklahoma last Tuesday
at Norman, will depart for Waco
Saturday morning anticipating a
solid victory over the Bruins. Even
with a stronger team than their
opponents, the Aggies will not find
a triumph easy for Baylor will be
out to avenge the 51-24 shellack
ing of last year.
Baylor’s McCoy, Odom, and
Manale will be the strongest op
position for the Cadets. All three
are veteran swimmers, with Mc
Coy holding records in both the 50
and the 100-yard free style events.
Andy Odom placed third in con
ference backstroke last season, and
Bullet Manale, a standout for the
last three years, is expected to ex
hibit the same form that won him
the conference diving champion
ship in 1949.
Hogan Enters Tourney
Houston, Tex., Feb. 3 (A*)—Ben
Hogan, making a comeback to golf
after automobile accident injuries
a year ago almost took his life,
is an entry in the Houston $10,000
open invitation tournament.
They’re smiling now, and there’ll be even broader
grins if the Aggie basketballers defeat Baylor
in Waco tonight. One of the teams will forfeit
their first-place spot in the SWC standings, but
not A&M if these five play the brand of ball they
have exhibited lately. From left to right are Bill
Turnbow, John PeWitt, Buddy Davis, Jewell Mc
Dowell and Wally Moon.
Four Aggies Gain Wins At
Golden Gloves Tournament
By FRANK SIMMEN
A packed Allen Academy gym
nasium ushered its first Golden
Gloves regional tourney in fine
fashion last night as the local fis
tic world got its first taste of real
boxing action.
Six fighting Aggies did justly
fight themselves into winning
brackets, four in the novice class
and the remaining two in the open
division.
Lightweight intramural champ
of last year, John Littlejohn, con
tributed the only knockout of the
night flooring a comparatively
tough opponent in the second round
and then pounding his body to the
canvas for the count in the third.

Guard Jewell McDowell Is;
Battalion’s 'Star of Week’'
Being the shortest man on the
starting five of the Aggie team,
doesn’T seem to hamper McDowell
in the least. At the present time
he is holding his own in this sea
son’s scoring with 240 points which
puts him in second place. In the
five conference games that the
Aggies have played this season
McDowell has an 11.6 point average
for each game.
Last year McDowell played in
only eight games and scored 62
points for the Aggies He weighs
160 pounds, is married, and is ma
joring in physical education.
As a non-partisan spectator said
at one of the games, “McDowell
is nothing but a hard working boy
that loves basketball. He can shoot
from anywhere in the court and
will sink three-fourths of them
when he’s hot, one-third of his at
tempted shots when he is cold, and
will hold the opponent that he is
guarding to the cube root of his
total.”
become the star of the week.
Not only did McDowell score the
largest number of field goals (six)
in last weeks game, but he also
held J. D. White of the Owls, who
scored 18 points against the Ar
kansas Razorbacks in the Owls’
previous game, to only one point.

The 210 pound lad from Lock
hart kept his overweight Allen
Academy opponent on the go until
the Allen lad gave Moses a light
punch when he was down. From
hen on, even the frenzied crowd
could see murder in the young
Aggie footballers eyes.
Probably the best show of the
right that could be classified un
der ballet, bubble dancing and a
bit of dramatic comedy was con
tributed in the battle between two
of Col. Andy’s star freshman
tracksters.
The two lads, both of whom re
side in Ft. Worth, decided two
hours before the match was sched
uled that they would put on the
gloves and square off at each oth-
er. That is just what they did,
but in a roimd. about way.
j Bryant, leading with his right
\eg, his right fist and his wide
open stomach kept the crowd in
a* midst of laughs before Pank-
fhurst eluded with the decision.
Eighteen year old Annex fresh
man Quinton Milhollin, a 134
pounder, thrashed out an easy de
cision over an Allen Academy pro
duct, Fred Moore.
Milhollin showed style and finis
in finishing the Academy lad with
little or no trouble. Another Cow-
town product, Milhollin has won
Yhe Southwest AAU featherweight
title, the district TAAF title as a
lightweight, and in his two years
of participating in Golden Gloves
competition went to the finals
twice.
Bob ' Kirk, sophomore in A
Flight, and last years middleweight
annex champ, was winning until
his opponent, 160 pound Ed Cas-
ttllo, landed one a little too much
for the scrappy Houston lad. He
went down for a count of nine, but
managed to scrape himself togeth
er enough to finish, but lose a
rugged match.
Fighting under the title of A&M
Photo Shop, Paul Hendrich, anoth
er freshman quarter and half miler
displayed startling form in decis-
ioning his Allen opponent Arron
Rizzo in the last lightweight nov
ice match. •
Compliments should be thrown
toward Leighton Lomax and Bill
Williams, two regional champions
of last years Glove competition,
who coached the Bryan YMCA
team. Both boys have been work
ing endlessly grouving into shape
a team made up mostly of Ag
gies.
Cadet Cagers, Baylor
Tangle In Crucial Game
By DEAN REED
After a final workout in Waco
last night, Marty Karow’s A&M
five will meet Baylor tonight in a
game which could well decide Cadet
chances in the season basketball
race.
Thirteen men left College Sta
tion late yesterday afternoon, after
a preliminary practice. “They’re
in as good a shape as possible,”
said Karow, as he watched the
local charges go through a simple
shooting drill. “Our chances are
good in Waco, but only if we play
our best ball. It’ll take that to beat
the Bears.”
By dealing in possibilities, A&M

could come out on top of the con
ference after this weekend. Should
the Aggies get by Baylor, and they
seem determined to do just that,
and should TCU and Texas defeat
SMU and Arkansas respectively,
the Cadets would be in undisputed
top spot.
Starters tomorrow night should
be the same group which has tip
ped off most of the games tins
season. Buddy Davis at center,
Jewell McDowell and either Mike
Garcia or Wally Moon at guard
positions, John DeWitt and Bill
Turnbow as forwards—this will
probably be the lineup. Turnbow
may be pulled, however, to take
advantage of Ken Sutton’s height.
A battle of brothers will feature
tonight’s contest, with the De-
Witts—John of A&M and Bill of
Baylor—fighting it out for their
respective alma maters.
Home-Court Advantage
The Aggies haven’t beaten Bay
lor in four seasons and should be
pointing for a victory tonight. The
Bears however, have a wide ad
vantage since they will be playing
on familiar grounds. Road games
have been disastrous for most of
the SWC teams this year.
Other players making the trip-
to Waco are Marvin Martin, Glenn
Williams, Jackie Miller, Bob Farm
er, Ed Sandlin, and Eddie Houser.
Accompanying- the team will be
Bill Dayton, trainer, and Lee Fraz
ier, manager.
A low-scoring game can be ex
pected tonight, since the Ags have
sparkled defensively .in their last
few games and are the top defen
sive five of the conference.
To date, the Aggies have defeat
ed TCU, Arkansas and Rice, while
losing to SMU and Texas. Baylor
has downed Texas, Arkansas and
Rice, with losses to TCU and SMU.
While the Cadets won’t enter
another fray until Tuesday night’s
Dallas game with SMU, the Bears
must meet the Arkansas Razor-
backs in Waco Saturday night.
Baylor will return the Aggies’
visit in a game next Friday night
here.
