GORMAN I Under the direction of new coach John Floyd, A&M’s basketballers will meet the Southwest Texas State Bobcats tonight at 8 in Deware Field House in the first Aggie home game of the season. I SWT brings a formidable offensive re cord to Aggieland tonight and the Cadet cage mentor is not the least bit optimistic cohcerning his team’s chances. In a previous statement to the Battalion, Floyd said, "It Bon’t be easy, . . . I’ll be satisfied with one ■ Like 1-2-3, in that order the Bobcats downed their first three opponents—How- ■rd Payne (two games) and Lamar Tech— scoring almost at will to average 75 points per game. In a game earlier this week, the unde feated Baylor Bears dropped the Bobcats from the ranks of the undefeated by virtue of a slim four point margin—the score be- ipg 61-57. Not so impressive is the record of the padet quintet, as they have averaged slight- better than 40 points per game in winning |wo and losing three of their pre-season Jontests. But the Farmers have been pitted against some of the nation’s strongest cage Teapis in playing OCU, Canisius, Siena, and pliquesne. In his fifth year as Bobcat coach, Milton Jowers brings a five man squad to DeWare Aijeld House tonight that averages over 6’ High point man in the recent Baylor tilt md a two year letterman at the forward post is 6’ 3” Bob Beaty. A member of the all-League team in the Lone Star Conference la$t year, Beaty was credited with 21 coun ters against the Bears and had a season . average a year ago of [ 6.9 points per game. Sharing duty with Beaty at the other for ward spot is 6’ 5’’ Lawrence Berry. A for- ler center for the Bpbcats the lanky let- tqrman chalked up 10 points of the 57 point total in the Bear tilt. Best Bobcat “The best ball handler on the fcpuad.” That’s what.Co,ach Jowers thinks of 5’ 11” Joe Sutton. A stellar member of the Bobcat foot- |)all team, Sutton is expected to have a banner year this season pt his guard position. Up from the freshmen ranks is 11” Jimmy Q’Bannon, who will handle the other side of the guard lost.

B. (Happy) Chandler and the club owners settled down to a war of nerves yesterday with neither side budging. Chandler, refusing to step down until the “last second” of his term, expiring May 1, 1951, said he was “going ahead as if nothing had happened.” The owners, who voted unani mously to select a new commis sioner, went home to find Chand ler’s successor to the $65,000 job.

HERE’S A GUY WHO LOVES TROUBLE...HE D LAY HI HIDE ON THE LINE / By RAY HOLBROOK Coach Frank Anderson and Ray Putman’s New Orleans bound mile relayers are putting on the finish ing touches for their two week away Sugar Bowl track meet ap pearance on Dec, 31st. The meet, an annual affair, draws the cream of the nation’s early season track prospects for a selected eight-event meet. One of the highlights of the meet will be the fourth consecutive meeting of the Oklahoma A&M and Texas Aggie mile relay teams. The Oklahomans hold a two to one edge but the Cadets will he eager to even the scries. Oklahoma A&M holds the record which they set last year, 'pacing the circuit in 5:16.4. Team In Shape With fine dry weather for the past two-months the Maroon and White tracksters have been round ing into shape and show promise of fielding a great team. Indications at present show that only one place is undecided with the other three positions of the quartet completely “sold.” Don ‘Jumbo’ Asked For Shriner’s East - West Tilt NOW SHOWING Andy "Jumbo” Hillhouse, one of A&M’s top ends and unanimous all-South west Con- fereqee team member, ha s been invited to play in the Shrine East-West game in San Francisco, Dec. 30. The 215-pound junior from Al vin, Tex., missed the Aggies’ post- ' season game with the University of Georgia Bulldogs in the. Presi dential Cup, but he played out standing football throughout the regular season. A siege of influ enza kept the No. 1 offensive end from making the eastern trip. Hillhouse caught 24 passes dur ing the Aggies’ 10-game season for a total of 432 yards. He was one of the top scorers in the con ference until near the end of the season with six touchdowns to his credit. The gum-chewing, good na- tured lad snagged an impossible catch from two Rice defenders for one of A&M’s two touchdowns in that game. 'Coach Harry Stiteler has used Hillhouse mostly as offensive end throughout’the season. But the 6-3 giant usually went joggling into the game if the opponent ran too many plays around the ter minal position. Hillhouse was elected for Col lier’s, INS, Associated Press, UP, Houston Post, Waco News Trib une, and numerous other all-SWC first teams. Jumbo was named by Collier’s fob the top honor as the nation’s best pass receiver. He was given honorable mention for all-American.

The Engineers opened the game with what appeared to be the start of a TD drive. Two line tries netted 11 yards. A jump pass was incomplete but two more line smashes gained' 9 yards. At this point the drive was stymied and the airmen took over on downs. The airmen coudn’t move the de fensive alignment of the, Engin eers and were forced to punt. The Engineers toqk to the air and the half ended with the Air men gaining possession of the ball on the Engineer 31 yard line as the result of a bad punt. The offensive tactics grew rougher in the second half and the remainder of the game was spent with double-reverses and long passes. Buzz Kennedy was outstanding for the 11 AF team and Joe Kemp was the big man on the offensive for the Engineers. Hallmark reeled off a beautiful 60 yard gallop to score the only touchdown for the G AF gridders as A Composite and the airmen battled to a 7-7 deadlock. The teams were also even with three penetrations each. D Vets tallied two touchdowns, one safety and an extra-point to defeat t-hc gridders of B OAC 15-0. The losers wefe never in posses sion of the ball inside of Vet 40. And extra-point was the differ ence as B Engineers topped E FA 7-6.

Basketball White tallied nine points as Com pany 12 waltzed to a 19-14 win over Company 10. Brigham and Anderson led the losers with six counters each. The winners were leading at halftime 10-4. Horseshoes In the horseshoe contests of the afternoon, B FA scored a 2-1 win over the pitchers from B Ar mored. Carl Neal, Harry Kiebler, Dwight King, and Charly Mailhos turned in the necessary two vic tories as the A QMC scored a 2-1 decision over A Vets. A Signal scored a 2-1 win over A CAC, 2-1. The winning scores were 21-3 and 21-19. Tennis In the Freshman tennis finals Company 12 will oppose Company 9 U, E Infantry has already gained the finals of the upperclassmen tennis and at the present time is waiting for an opponent to be de cided. A Infantry is in the semi-finals and is to be opposed by the win ner of the A QMC-C Infantry con test. Mitchell, Luston McCarty, and Bob Mays are the runners who look as if they can count on a trip to New Orleans as three-quarters of the four-man team. Mitchell is the only letterman of the crew and was almost con ceded a position early in the sea son. McCarty has been coming along steadily as the most im proved man on the squad and has been headed for some time toward nailing down his position on the quartet. Mays—Pleasant Surprise M^ys is the most pleasant sur prise of the fall workouts, having jumped out ahead of the remain ing competitors only recently. A junior college transfer from Brownwood, Mays was 1 held out of competition last year and looks like a comer for the season. A hard fought battle for the remaining spot is fofseen during the' next few days v/ith a decid ing' race already scheduled. Cecil Inglehart is the leading contender, but Bobby Ragsdale outstanding sophomore, may take the berth from under everyone’s nose. Both Inglehart and Ragsdale have been having a close battle but another possibility is Bobby Harris, who may prove to be the equal or bettgi' .of, the previous mentioned. 'It al/1 remains for the run-off race before the decision is made.
