Smith, Greiner, Hillhouse Named To Three AH-SWC By RALPH E. GORMAN Harry Stiteler’s Aggies gained three berths on the Associated Press radio broadcaster’s All- Southwest Conference eleven,, the All-Southwest team chosen by the International News Service, and the Houston Post’s 1950 All-Con ference selections. Bruisin’ Bob Smith, A&M’s hard running fullback, and Andy Hill- house, the Aggies’ double duty end, were named to all three teams. Max Greiner, A&M’s four year letterman guard, was chosen for the Radio and Post elevens, while another Aggie guard, Carl Mol- berg was the third man on the INS team. Greiner is an offen sive specialist while Molberg is one of the few 60-minute men in Modern college football. SMU, TU—Also Three Each Southern Methodist and Texas also had three representatives from their respective elevens on each of the mythical All-South west teams. Baylor and Rice placed one player each on the team in which broadcasters from every sec tion of the state polled their votes for the selection, but the Bears garnered two posts with INS to Battalion Page 4 TUBS., DEC. 5, 1950 In Southwest Con ference . . . Texas Ends Clean Season With the exception of games re maining to be played by Texas, A&M, and maybe Baylor, the Southwest Conference wrapped up its exceptional upsetting season with a bang, as the “most-upset” team in the conference—Southern Methodist—again bit the dust over the past weekend as did Rice and the Aggies. Texas finished its first clean SWC year, defeating the Aggies, 17-0, while the Horned Frogs jumped on the band wagon behind Gil Bartosh and finally completed Premier Peat Moss PEPS - UP YOUR SOIL Is your soil “asleep”? Does it lack the vigor it needs to give your turf its maximum growth ? Then pep-up your soil with Pre mier Peat Moss—the 97% or ganic soil conditioner. Spongy Premier has amazing capacity for storing water, air and plant food. It feeds the roots all they need—when they need it. It gives substance to light soil—loosens heavy soil— so that roots can spread out. It helps to utilize plant food— makes fertilizer go farther, last longer. The result: fine fibrous feeding roots . . . strong-grow ing grass, flowers, trees . . . and the thickest most luxuriant turf that nature can give you. The beautiful greens on the Texas A.&M. golf course will grow in soil conditioned by Pre mier Peat Moss. 600 bales of Premier were used for their construction. ROGERS GRAIN CO. P. ().

Texas still must play Louisiana State before it can complete its conference year and then move to the Cotton Bowl to meet theTen- nessee Vols. The Cadets also play Saturday, meeting the Georgia Bulldogs in the Px-esidential Cup game. Baylor may play a South- exm team, probably LSU, in the Petroleum Bowl, but nothing de finite has been set by either team. Smith Only Leader Bx’uisin’ Bob Smith was the only player to finish the season holding two fii’st places on the statistics list. He leads the scor ers with 14 touchdowns—84 points —and in total ground gaining with 1,303 yards, an average of over 6 yards, also tops in the con ference. The Cadets lead the league in total points scored, 304* and total yai'dage with 4,559. But Champion Texas finished the season with the same number of points scoi'ed in the Confex-ence as the Cadets, 142, and held their brother opponents to 68 markers. ★ Baylor 33, Rice 7 ★ Larry Isbell’s precision passing and magical ball handling led Bay lor to a ridiculously easy, 33-7 victory over Rice. Three times his passes made the score board click and another set the stage for little Frank Shan non to get in on the touchdown parade. His 11 completions out of 12 at- temps accounted for 178 of the 186 yai’ds Baylor gained passing. On the ground, Baylor picked up 209 yards to 68 for Rice and six completed passesout of 19 at tempted netted the Owls only 164 yai'ds. One touchdown in the first per iod, three in the second, and an other in the fourth left the crowd of 20,000 partisan Baylor fans glowing with pleasure. It took a recovered fumble late in the final quarter to start Rice toward its. only touchdown. Two to Williams Isbell tossed two touchdown passes to Stanley Williams, who made spectacular catches, and hit James Jeffrey in the end zone with another. An 84-yard punt return by little Johnny Curtis and a one-yard plunge by Shannon accounted for the other Baylor touchdowns, with Henry Dickerson kicking thx‘ee ex tra points. After Hardy Dean x’ecovered Don Carpented’s fumble for Rice on Baylor’s 17-yard line, Harmon Carswell climaxed a goalwai’d surge by scoring from the half yard line. Bill Wright kicked the extra point. Parma, Parker Ripping When Isbell wasn’t shooting deadly passes over the charging Rice line, he was befuddling it with slight-of-hand ball handling, send ing Richard Parma, Jeffrey, and Buddy Parker ripping through. It was not until the game was neai'ly over that Rice penetrated Baylor’s 20-yard line. It never got inside the Bear 30-yard line the first three quarters and only at one time—just before it’s touch down—did it put on a sustained drive. This one carried to Baylor’s 18-yard marker. Shortly befox-e the end of the first quarter Baylor struck for its first touchdown. Isbell passing to Williams on a play covering 33 yards.

Baylor’s next touchdown came almost immediately afterwards. Shannon, whose primary purpose on the Baylor squad is to x’ace downfield on the kickoff, did just that. He recovered Dickerson’s kickoff off the shin of Emanuel Bi'aden. (Sec ISBELL’S PASSES, Page 5) crowd the Owls out of the run ning. Arkansas and Texas Christian failed to gain recognitiion on the AP team, and Rice joined the ranks of the non-represented in the INS selection.

Included in the list will be Look’s, Collier’s, AP’s, HP’s, NBA’s, Doak Walk er’s, and many others. Although some of above team selections have already been re leased, the Battalion Sports Staff believes that with all of the All-America teams picked by different parties together in one section, perhaps an individ ual may select his own All- America team, hence giving every one his choice as to who belongs among the nation’s best. 11 I/- ^ Pro-Manager Joe Fagan of A&M’s new $75,000 row at 1:30 p.m. Holding the flag is Head golf course tests the roll on one of the finest Greenskeeper Clyde Harrison while Assistant greens in the South which officially opened to Greenskeeper O.
