Alice Bauer
Adorable Alice Bauer named by Harry Conover as “One of the
Six Most Beautiful Women in Sports” will assist tomorrow in the
opening of A&M’s new golf course, the third longest in the South.
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

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.

the job which they have been
building up to for the past three
years, * and tied the Mustangs in
the corral, by a 27-13 score, and
Larry Isbell piloted his Bear’s in
an easy de-feathering of the Owls,
33-7.
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.

Early in the second period, he
climaxed a 75-yard drive with a
25-yard scoring heave to Jeffrey
and then moments later Sonny Wy
att punted to Curtis, who took the
ball on his own 14, broke through
the entix'e Rice team and scam
pered like a scared tomcat down-
field.
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.

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.
McFadin is Unanimous Choice

gained a place on every All-Amer
ican team to date, was the only
player chosen unanimously by the
many broadcasters. This is the
second straight year for the big
Longhorn guard to be chosen.

All-America I Is
To Be Released
Complete All-America foot
ball selections from all over the
country will be released in to
morrow’s Battalion. 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.
