ALL 4-5324 Battalion Classified Ads i ; Fish Sor<sAn* McDowell’s Play By HAROLD GANN Basketball representatives from A&M and Baylor will vie for su premacy tonight on the hardwoods of DeWare Field House in a game that may well decide the outcome of the Southwest Conference. If the Bears get by the Aggies, they will have smooth-sailing down the home stretch, having played Arkansas and A&M twice. Two of their remaining games will be at home against TCU and SMU, and a couple will be on the road with Rice and Texas—quintets that have yet to prove their crown-cop ping ability. After tonight’s contest, the Ca dets will find the going easier. According to the records, their toughest assignments will be to dispose of Arkansas in Fayette ville and TCU in Fort Worth. Bears Seek Revenge Coach Bill Henderson’s Bruins, realizing that their game with A&M tonight will be the last dif ficult task to master, will enter the i game with hopes of seeking revenge against the i team that tromped them in Waco a week ago. L I’ After engaging ini rugged, ex tensive drills on Monday and Wed nesday, both teams tpok brief tun ing-up exercises yesterday with' the exception of onej player. Jewell McDowell, A^M's stand out guard and baskjetbaU’s attri bute toward greater success, could only go throuAd the motions. McDowell is Ready The court-sentinel was nursing a muscle inflamation in his should er. He became awarcj of the cramp after aWakening Monday morn ing, but did not report it to train er Bill Dayton until Tuesday morn ing, just before the team mounted! a bus for Dallas. Dayton had neitKer time nor facilities to sufficicrjtly treat the cramp before the fateful SMU game. During the gaime, the Ania- riloan couldn’t lift his arm above his shoulder. McDowell has beeh undergoing treatments twice dally, and Day- ton hinted yesterday that he would be in good condition! for tonight’s battle. Winner Take All j The winner of tonight’s contest; will be alone in first position for at least 24 hours. SMtT will pliy host to 'Texas tomorrow and .if the Mustangs win, they and the winner of the Bear-Aggie tilt will be tied for top position. Reports from Waco indicate that! Bill Srack, 5’ 9” senior guard, wfillj be the Baylor stalwart: tonight.; Jinx Tucker, sports editor of the Tribune, claims that Srack is the best ball-handler and sharpest 1 shooter among the Bears, and only recently has been able to prove it because of a slow start. Whether Srack will be better than all-conference Don Heathing- ton, 6’ 3”, or 6’ 3” Bill Hickman at the forward slots is a matter of opinion. Both Teams Determined Odell Preston and Bill DeWitt; both 6’3” senior guards, complete the starting alignment. Baylor is essentially a team with no outstanding performers. The starting five is composed of game-sawy veterans who hold three varsity letters. Their de fense isn’t so effective with thej belief {that “a good offense is the best defense.” “Baylorr will come to Aggieland with great determination,” Coach Marty Karow said yesterday; “A&M will be just as determined; We will have to play as good S game as we’ve played all season.’; Aggie fans would like to forget the treacherous , encounter with the red-hot Mustapgs Tuesday. A victory over Baylor in DeWare—f where a partisan, crowd might stifle Baylor’s hopes of getting hot—might cause the fans to for get. -.j.,;.- —y j d *. *f r - f i . • uintet, Cu •I ; l i evenge Tonight s In Prelim At 6 ,4 < ■ 1 U ■ r i ' I -/;f ■ ' {j 1 Freshman Gagers In Top Condition Don Heathington of the Baylor Bruins demonstrates his shl dribbling, which makes him one of tho deadliest forwards In conference.

V High scoring honors for the night went to; Bennie Steele, Mi lano guard, who tallied 17 of the Eagles’ 23 points. Leading the!! Consolidated scor ers in the defensive battle were Jason Magee with nine points And Dick Dowell, totaling eight.

By FRANK MANITZA8 Gone SchiickeiV-rapidly recup erating Fish basketball team will meet the Baylor Cuba tonight in DeWare Field House at 6 as a cur tain for the scheduled conference the two senior game bctweeji teams. . Starting at center for the Fiah will be Leroy Miksch, who hud a sprained ankle in last week’s game. Ample support will come from Don Garrett, Max Montegut, Don Heft, Wally Bleyl, and Jimmy Velvin, from which the remainder of the quintet will be chosen. The Fish will lie probably be in the’ best shape that they have seen all 'year, having worked extra hard this week with the intention of upsetting coach Bill Mencfree’s junior Bruins. Last week the Cubs drubbed the Fish, 56-35. The Cubs will come to ■ A&M without their star of last week’s game—Boland Ellcdgc— and Der- rell Davis, high scorer .for the Baylor fi cabmen who, at last re port,-was laid . up with influenza. Menefcee’s Cubs have a very im pressive record for the year, 0-1, while the Fish boast, only a -1-4 record; ’ ’ Tonight will see the Kish com bining their greatly improved pass ing with the sharp shooting ability of Heft, together with Miksch’s hackboaid play to try to outdis tance the ('ubs at the beginning of; the game. So fur this season, the Fish have proved to he u second half team.
