{Cadets, Bobcats Clash
In Home Opener At 8
By RALPH E. 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. An accomplished set shot

Chandler to Stay Put
Until 4 Last Second’
St. Petersburg, Fla., Dec. 14—
GPI—Baseball Commissioner A. 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.
Presidents Will Harridge of the
American League and Ford Frick
of the National were to name two-

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.

Intramural Co-Editor
Two undefeated teams, A En
gineers and H AF, battled to a
0-0 deadlock this afternoon only
to have. the Engineers win the
game on penetrations The win
ning ball club had one twenty yard
penetration and one forty yard
as .compared to two forty yard
drives for the airmen.
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.
C Infantry completely outclass
ed L AF in downing the airmen
13-Q. The., infantrymen led in the
penetration department, 7-0.
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.
