1. 1 , Ag, Canisius Five Play Tonight in NY A&M’s Basketball team will be shooting to break a two-game los ing streak tonight in Buffalo, N. Y. against the extra-smooth work ing quintet of Canisius College. Last year, the New Yorkers fin ished the season with a 17-7 win- loss record and have yet to lose a game this season, claiming vic tories over Western Ontario and Oregon State. The Cadets opened their season with a 40-35 win over North Texas State, but lost the following two tilts to Oklahoma City University 39-44, and Siena College, 42-56. McDowell Leads Scorers * Leading the Aggie scorers for the season and the eastern tour has been All-Conference guard jlewell McDowell with 31 points.

The Sooners pulled away and led 25-16 at the half. It was Okla homa’s second win while Texas nas won one and lost two. Beat Georgia ^Safely Risles Apply To Bicycle Users Bicycle riders should respect the rights of motorists in the streets and the rights of pedestrians on tiie sidewalks—and they should be careful for their own sakes where- ever they ride. Center Buddy Davis with 24. John Floyd, A&M’s new basket ball coach, is hoping that the Ag gie quintet will accustom itself to the new style of play which he has been teaching. An Oklahoma A&M graduate and having worked un der the Okie Aggie’s famous Hank Iba, Floyd has developed a sys tem all his own which he hopes will be the answer to the Maroon and White’s basketball champion ship drought. A&M hasn’t won the conference title in the hoop sport since 1923. After tonight’s tilt with Canis ius, the cagers will travel to Eenn- sylvania where they will encoun ter Duquesne University, from wdicre they will return to College Station to open their home season against Southwest Texas. On the eastern tour are McDow ell, DeWitt, Davis, Bobby Farmer, Raymond “Woody” Walker, Mar vin, Leroy Miksch, Don Heft, Bill Carpenter, Glenn Williams, and Don Garrett.

FRIDAY SITE PREVIEW — U P.M. JOAN FONTAINE ROBERT RYAN ZACHARY SCOTT mer students, who won the first Southwest Conference Golf Cham pionship, were more than pleased with the outcome of the day. They had returned to Aggieland, and in their own words, “found everything nice.’’ Two of the members of the for mer Aggies golf team were also the first to complete a complete round of 18 holes on the new course. Brehmer Holds Record Herbert Brehmer of Kerrville now holds the course record with 86—,1.5 over par—which is ex tremely good, taking into consid eration the cold and wind which hampered outdoor play yesterday. A. 0. Nicholson of Dallas, who went the round with Brehmer, fin ished a point higher with 87. The two other members of the initial champs of the conference were present, but are not as ac tive in golf as arc the previously mentioned. J. C. Landon of San Angelo attended the formal dedi cation but didn’t tee off with the rest because of a back injury. Wilson Tees Off Ellis Wilson of San Antonio teed off but didn’t go the 18 holes. Brehmer is a vocational agricul tural teacher in Kerrville and al though he doesn’t play golf too often, he continues the habit he gained in the service and takes to Pre-Christmas Sale for His Gift GIVE . . . * SLACKS • For casual smartness try these all wool Gabardine Slacks ... or maybe you like all Wool Sharkskin or all wool Flannel Slacks?

On his home course in Kerrville, he consistently shoots in the 70’s. Nicholson, however, could make even likable Alice and melancholy Marlene stand up and take notice. No, Nicholson, who is Vice-Pres ident of the Mercantile National Bank hasn’t won numerous titles or even a national title, but he is among the top three golfers in America who have played on al most 1000 different courses. Nicholson Reaches 808 With his round of 18 on the Ag gies course, the Dallasite increased the number of courses on which he has played to 808. This number covers the entire United States as well as 11 courses in Canada, one in Egypt, two in Mexico 1 and three in French Mor- roco. Having played on all these courses, be has gained three holes- in-onc, but he claims that prob ably no one will gain an ace on the Aggie course for quite a while. He likes the; layout and has hopes of returning to play on it again. Nicholson started his golfing career in 1919 with a new set of clubs when he played at the Sham rock Country Club course in Shamrock, Texas. The clubs were a Christmas present, and the fol lowing year when he went to A&M, he began on his feverish nobby of trying to reach 1000. His best year was in ’48 when he played on 83 different layouts. In Texas alone he has played on 387 courses and there are only seven which he knows of that ho hasn’t yet played on. —Beat Georgia— ECU Downs Tech Odessa, Texas, Dec. 7—<7P)— TCU basketball forces staged a spirited rally in the second half last night to best Texas Tech, 70- 53. The Frogs trailed for mofct of the first 20 minutes before finally gaining a 38-36 margin at half time. TCtl’s Harvey Frpriime grabbed scoring honors with. 12 points. • Beat Georgia- Molberg, Greiner Set To Lead Aggies Dec. 9 By RALPH E. GORMAN For the first time this season the members of A&M’s football team got together and elected co captains fm- jtheir approaching grid contest with the University of Georgia in the Presidcntiial Cup Game, Dec. 9. Max Greiner and Carl Molberg polled a large majority of the votes in last night’s dressing room election to be named Game Co- Captains for the first Aggie post season game since Jan. 1, 1944. In the Presidential Cup contest this Saturday in the shadow of the Washington Monument, both Max and Carl will climax their re spective careers in collegiate foot ball. Max receives his fourth grid numeral this year and claims the honor of being the only South west Conference athlete to achieve this in the 1950 season. Carl en tered A&M after the freshman eligibility rule was changed and consequently will have three let ters to his credit. This is the second time that these two senior linemen have been co-captains during the cur rent season. Impressive Cadet Record When the Cadets board the air liners Friday enroutc to 1 the, na tion’s capitol, they will carry an impressive record of SWC statis tics with them. Individual records rank high in the seven phases of SWC gridiron statistics which include two first places. A first place rating in team total offense should give Coach Wally Butts’ Bulldogs a strong in dication of what the combined cf- fprts of the Stitelermcn can do. Smith Leads Two Phases Bruisin’ Bob Smith, A&M’s All- American fullback, holds first place in two divisions—leading ball carrier and leading scorer. In the leading ball carriers- col umn 11 SWC stars have amassed 498 yards and more to gain top recognition. For first place in this phase of the game, the All-American full back from -Houston- has’ carried the ball 199 times- for a net gain of 1,302 yards and an average of 6.5 yards per carry to rank a first in that column as well. (Texas’ Byron Townsend is the No. 2 car rier, with only a scant 532 yards between him and Bob). Second place in the average col umn with 6.4 yards per times car ried and a ranking of ninth in ball carrying goes to Bill Tidwell, A&M’s bouncing halfback from Hearne. Bill has gained 482 Ag gie yards in the 75 times that he has carried. Lippman Carries 98 Times Glenn Lippman, A&M’s fleet halfback who has shared ball lug ging chores with Bob and Bill through the current season is the No. 11 man among the leading ball carriers. A total of 478 yards for 98 times to carry gives Gallopin’ Glenn an average of 4.8 yards per carry. Another item of special inter est to Aggie partisans is that these three Cadets show the least defi ciency in yardage lost on ball car rying plays. Bill has lost only five yards during the season, Glenn has lost 20, and Bob shows a min us of 24 yards to compare with the 1,326 yards he has grossed. Gardemal Among Top Passers Dandy Dick Gardemal, Aggie No. 1 man-under and probable starting signal-caller in the Pres idential Cup game Saturday, ranks seventh among the leading pass ers in SWC play. In. the division led by SMU’s Flinging Freddie Benners, who has tossed 192 times for 108 com pletions and 1,361 yards; the dim inutive Port Arthur quarterback has hurled the pigskin 67 times for 35. completions. Six of these afeials have gone into paydirt, while six others have fallen into the arms of the opposition; but all- told Dick has netted 503 Aggie yards through the ether zone.

Second to Baylor’s Lary Isbell in punting, Yale has booted the pigskin 57 times in ten games (slightly below his 70 punt total of 1949, but then the current sea son has been much improved) and he has an average of 38.7 yards per boot. Following another Bayloritc, Johnny Curtis, but in the punt re turning column, Yale has been the key man in the safety posi tion nine times and has a return average of 23.2 yards. In 200 plays from the line of scrimmage, A&M’s All-American fullback has an average gain of 6.5 yards per try to be top man among the averages. TCtl’s Granger Ghost, Gil Bar tosh, claims the lead among the total offense stars after a strong surge in the last two Frog tilts. In 321 plays, Bartosh has amassed a rushing and passing total gain of 1,733 yards. Bruisin’ Bob is second to the Frog’s Bartosh with the 1,302 yards that he has gained on the ground alone in the ten game sea son, Boh has never figured in on the beginning end of a pass play and therefore registers a zero in that column.
