Stays At Top Of Heap
New York, Feb. 14 -^-Although
it finds the going tougher each
week, unbeaten Holy Cross con
tinued to reign as the nation’s top
basketball team in the Associated
Press poll today.
Victorious in all 20 games, the
Crusaders had all they could do to
come out ahead of Bradley Univer
sity (21-3), nosing out the Peoria
Bears by 37 points to remain on
top for the fifth straight week.
Holy Cross drew 56 first place
votes from the 14 ballots cast by
sports writers and broadcasters
throughout the nation to only 16
for Bradley. The latter, however,
commanded enough second, third
and fourth and fifth place votes to
give the all-conquering Worcester,
Mass., five quite a scare. The point
total read Holy Cross 986 to Brad
ley’s 949.
Ohio State (15-3) big ten leader,
advanced to third place. They at
tracted eight firatplace votes to
wind up with 754 votes. This was
enough to beat out St. John’s (20-
2) of Brooklyn. The Redmen also
drew eight first plaice votes but
received only 631 points to finish
fourth. ..._•
Kentucky (17-4) ! climbed from
seventh to fifth with 485 points
while Long Island University (17-

Duquesne dropped trom third to

Defending Champion Cindermen
Readying for March 4 Opener
By RAY HOLBROOK
The Texas Aggie track team,
SWC champion last spring, is
readying for the defense of its
title. First. ’Ag meet is March 4
on Kyle Field with Nortli Texas
and ten consecutive meets follow,
climaxed by the conference meet
in Austin, May 12 and 13.
. Last spring the Aggies sustained
their greatest loss by graduation
since the early forties, but up
coming sophomores will'bolster the
team considerably to make it again
a powerful aggregation. Since Tex
as and Rice will field strong squads
this year, it would be hard to pre
dict the Aggie chances of making
it four championships in a row,
but one can be sure they'll be in
the thick of the fight.

McDowell Is Good Argument
That Height Not Everything
(See CHAMPS, Pago 4)
u-~L
By FRANK E. NIMMEN, JR
One of the chief arguments that
one doesn't have to be u tall man In
basketball today is Jewell Mc
Dowell.
If all the 6-foot-plus young men
who have been faked out of their
gym shorts by the mighty midget
from the sandy slopes, were layed
end to end, it would make an im
posing row of lightly clad, heavily
embarrassed forwards and centers.
And "The Jool” is possessed not
only with a shifty dribble and a
telescopic eye, but a knack of
sticking with hotshot scorers like
an adhesive plaster, thus reduc
ing their box score to a long string
of zeros, with the possible ex
ception of the personal foul colurnn.
McDowell is currently one of the
chief contributors in keeping
Coach Marty Karow’s 49-50 cag-
ers from the realms of basketball’s
type of depression.
Third In Marker Race
The young Amarilloan is now
lodged in the number three posi
tion in the season scoring race,
not far behind Rice’s Joe McDer
mott. Surprisingly enough “Ear”
scored most of his markers against
such nationally top teams as NYU,
St. Louis University, and Niagra
University in the east, and Ariz
ona, Stanford, and UCLA in the
west.
Sinking 100 field goals and 61
charities, McDowell is far ahead
of the rest of his Aggie team
mates. Jewell is not as surprised at
his big point total as most of his
fans, since the 20-year-old eager
led his junior high league and high
school district in scoring before
he departed^ from v Amarillo . in
quest of higher education.
,He entered Amarillo High School
in the fall of ’45. Just making the
second team ip his first year in
high school was somewhat of a dis
appointment tq the five fest, nine
incher. "The second season I made
the second tcapi without any trou
ble, and got tf play quite a bU,"

race, and was picked the outstand

"Didn't oven start the first part
of the season," said Mac, "but
finally made It.”
Then his first real public test
came in the state meet in. Austin.
Advancing easily} to the semi
finals, Amarillo High met real op

All students Interested In work
ing uut or possibly competing
against a former national cham
pionship volleyball team from
Houston haVe been urged by Bar
ney Welch, Intramural Director, to
meet him at DeWare Field House
at 8 Thursday night. ..
Welch reported that he had been
contacted by Ray Roegnik, direc
tor of the Central YMCA in Hous
ton, and the two men have com
pleted arrangements for a game
between the 1948 National AAU
volleyball champa from the Bayou
City and a strong Fort Worth unit.
The match between the two vete
ran aggregation will be played at
3 p, m., Saturday, Feb. 19, In the
local field house, Welch said.
Welch said that he felt .interest
would be big in the match as
many Aggies had seen the smooth
working Houston, team compete in
the Gulf AAU meet which was held
here on the campus year before
last,
Although the head of the intra
mural program on the campus
wasn't sure whether the two visit
ing teams would engage Aggie
teams in game competition, he felt
there was a strong possibility of
this. He added that he w’as sure the
opposing groups would desire help
in practicing, and this would pre
sent a fine opportunity for Aggies
to test their skill against some of
the nation’a top performers.
