TCU’s sophomore-studded Homed
Frogs in Will Rogers Coliseum
tonight at 8 p. m.
The Aggies went through a
light workout yesterday in an ef
fort to whip back into top form.
The talent- still was in the boys,
but that “burning yearning” for
a conference crown was lacking.
The cellar-dwelling Rice unit
played jan Important role in de-
— feating the Ag’s -hopes with a ,62-
62 victory in Houston Saturday.
Besides handing A&M its_,worse
conference defeat, Rice also ruined
the Cadets chances of a l first
place berth, forcing them into 1
fifth position. • -

T«ca^ University joined Rice
in upsetting the dope bucket by
edging ' SMU, 47-46, in an over-j
time tilt • in Austin. Other games
last week which shaped this week’s
standing were: Arkansas 62, Tex
as A&M 46; SMU 65, Rice 48;
TCU 51, Texas 38; Baylor 60,
Rice 59; and Arkansas 62, TCU.

of the season. TCU was very stub
born ini this contest, and the Farm

1 the last three minutes. The lead

A penalty system similar tb that

the system have been wprked out
by Marty Karow, tournament di

writers expressed opinions that the
whole country would be Interested
in developments as the rules un
derwent game competition tests.
All the coaches who have he4k
questioned were In favor of the
special regulations. - Ij
Karow explained that the results'
of the tourney play under the rules
will be sent to the NCAA rules
committee for Its consideration.
In the ’48 JC meet players were
allowed to talk wtth their coaches
on the side of the court during
timeouts, and the next winter this
same rule became a standard pro
cedure. perhaps the local ^tourna
ment can score another first this
year.
Rules Explained
Here’s the way the special rules
will work. During the first half
if a player commits his fifth per
sonal foul he will be banned from
play ; for three minutes. After
serving the required time on the
sideline, he will be allowed to re
enter the contest.
Fbr each foul above five in the
first 20-minute period the same
penalty will be applied.. If a play
er Commits his fifth, sixth, etc;,
foul'with less than three minutes
remaining in the first half, the re
mainder of the unserved penalty
time on the side line will not be
carried over to the second half.
Daring the first 16 minutes of
the second half when a player is
charged with his fifth or higher
personal foul he will be banished to
the sidelines for two njilnutes. Fcir
point honors in that game went
to Buster Alford of the JC firo.

with a 84-5 mark at tho last count.
Tho main reason for this is Aueril-
lo Ramirez who has sunk 151

for a total of 868 points. Ram-
faros was one of highest scorers
in the last junior college tourna

Jimmy Vclvin, Wally Bleyl, Jae
Gulledge, Don Garrett, and a
newcomer who showed up surpris
ingly well in Houston—Bob Foo-
shee—form the list which Coach
Schriekel will peck the starting
quintet.
Montegut, a forward from Tdx-
as City, trails behind Miksch for
high point honors. He plays a
well rounded game, especially
from the forecourt on the offenne.
The coast product can be expect
ed to come through in the ctinehee
as he did in the Baylor Cub game
connecting with two consecutive
free shots to give the Fish a win.
Garrett and Velvln, both of
whom started off fast at the first
of the season in the scoring col
umn, have replaced their shooting
eye with a little classier bell
handling and better work off the
backfaonrds. !
Garrett waa also at his best in
the Baylor Cub meeting where be
scored 10 markers and proved tn
he one of the better players un
der the backboards along with
teammate Mikacjh. !
For the team as a whole, it’s
come a long way. Shooting abil

players, and temperntentetky, a
