Tigers Lose Both
Games To Milano
The trip to Milano turned out
to be a disastrous one for both
A & M Consolidated basketball
iteams Tuesday night as they bowed
to two fast-breaking Eagle quin
tets, 22 to 48 (“A” game) and 13 to
26.
In the first end of the double
header, Milona lead the Consoli
dated “By' 10 to 4 at the end of
the first half and went on to
lengthen their lead in the second
half. Two Eaglets, Craig Magee
and Bud Williams, tied for scor
ing honors with eight points apiece
while Pinky Cooner was high for
Consolidated with four. Milano was
never behind.
The Consolidated varsity fared
no better than their younger
brothers as they too were never
allowed to lead in their game. At
half time they were on the short
end of an 8 to 18 score, and, as
in the first game, failed in their
attempts of “catch-up.”
Milano’s Bobby Brasher led all
scorers with 16 points and Billy
Blakely of A&M was second with
11.
Last year Consolidated defeated
the Eagles in the zone play-offs,
but Milano didn’t lose a single man
from that team and consequently
has some fine prospects this year.
To date the Eagles have been
undefeated in ten games.
This was the first district loss
for the Tigers who have heretofore
beaten Snook and Somerville in
district contests, while this was
the third district win for Milano.
Cpnsolidated has won two of seven
starts this season.
According to Frank Vaden, Jr.,
Milano can field a potent five.
“They looked good all the time
and never let up. They made very
good shots but not the kind that
would be called “luck shots.”
The Tigers will be idle until
January 4th at which time they
will play Thorndale in another dis
trict game.

“There’s a great deal of difference in Eastern and South
western football. Except maybe for Princeton, most teams in
the East play a conservative game of ball. Now judging from
Army standards, I can say this. The game is much faster.
I mean getting back to huddle, calling the play and getting
it off. I
“There is not much razzle-dazzle, except, as I said before,
Princeton. Most of the time they just grind it out. Coach
Blaik wants to go for a touchdown every play, but predom
inately via the ground. We only averaged about 11 passes a
game last year. Most of the time is spent on fundamentals,
and they are really stressed. '
Just about that time Bill’s lovely
wife came in. As they have only
been married since July first, we
turned our head discreetly. The
wife is no less than the former
Miss Alma Jean Vance of Bryan,
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Harold
Vance. This didn’t bother us too
much since we don’t have classes
under Dr. Vance.
Scowling darkly at us, Bill re
luctantly returned to the subject
at hand. Of course, he had only
gone to West Point to get a liberal
education in travel, gadding about
the East. He wouldn’t admit this
naturally, but sat pouring out
praise to both institutions.
It was in July of ’46 that Bill
galloped into “The Point”. Gallop
ed is a mild word. This is what is
typical of so many men that slip
away from A&M.
Aggies At West Point

went out one year—and two in the We asked Bill what he thought
last. , about A&M this year.
“I was sure disappointed about that Texas game, hut
when they played Georgia ,well, that really surprised me.
I never thought they would heat them that much. Yes, A&M
is getting better and more publicity In the East now. Last
year and before that, it was only a score, hut now they are
getting a little writeup, especially after the SMII and Georgia
games. Most of the time it was Smith, though. We got to see
those national statistics and were really impressed, hut if he
is as good as they say he is (at this point we hastened to re
assure him), he isn’t getting as much as he deserves.
Then the conversation went back
to Army.
“We lose only one man, Fold
berg, from our defensive unit next
year. Offensively we lose Stephen
son, Cain, Martin and Fischl in the
backfield and Foldberg, Elmbald
and Ackerson, the greatest offen
sive tackle I have ever seen, in the
line. Boy, is Ackerson underrated.
Coach doesn’t have to worry about
backs, though, for he will still have
Pollard, Polluck, Filipski and
Blaik.”
When asked about Coach Earl
“Red” Blaik he said.
“Blaik thinks nothing of using
more than 16 to 17 hours a day on
the team. One day we worked two
and a half hours on one play, just
changing it around to get the best
blocking. Finally it was changed
back to the original way. When it
comes to working out, counting the
time getting on and off the field,
the team spends about an hour and
a half a day. The longest practice
last year was an hour and three
quarters. The coach believes in
working out the kinks before prac
tice and then gets the hoys out
there and works things out! right.
The wife came in again about
here. We asked her when the heir
was expected.
“May the 18th!”
It’s A Girl
Imagine, she had it zeroed in.
Mrs. Yeoman also made it plain
that it would be a girl. Bill only
grumbled—or was it mumbled.
That was just about the end of
a veiy pleasant conversation.
After the holidays January sec
ond or third, the Yeomans will
hustle, complete with dog, to Fort
Benning Georgia, where Bill will
join the 4th Training Division. Af
ter that, who knows?
Yessir, quite an athlete and quite
a guy. (His wife is nice too.. We
went with her first, but he mar
ried her. Yep, he’s big.) A&M
could have used Bill Yeoman these
last few years, but so like many
others, they seemed to slip away.
And to think that Bob Smith al
most went to another school.

Wolves Howl, JeffCravath
Shoved Out at Southern Cal
Los Angeles, Dec. 20—(A*)—The
nine-year-old coaching regime of
Jeff Cravath sank at the Univer
sity of South California today, tbr-
pedoed by powerful “win or else”
alumni sharpshooters.
Cravath abandoned stricken ship,
effective Jan. 1, climaxing an anti-
Cravath, old grad offensive that
mounted as the Trojan grid for
tunes wallowed and pitched last
season.
Cravath, senior coach in service
in the Pacific Coast Conference,
stepped down with nothing but
BPW Predicts
Bowl Winners
“The trite expression is ‘Bowl
Game.’ That is, any football con
test not scheduled for regular sea
son play but arranged as an after
season performance, usually with
festive trimmings.”
This is the way the United Fea
ture Syndicate’s football expert,
Paul B. Williamson, ushers post
season grid-iron activity through
out the country.
As usual Williamson is on hand
with on-the-spot “hot ones” for all
bowl enthusiasts. The System
sounds the horn of prognostication
from the Tournament of the Roses
in Pasadena, Cal. to the Hula Bowl
in Honolulu, but takes time out to
discuss the ever-increasing rise in
the number of bowl contests.
“Therefore this 1950-51 football
season will haVe seen at least 52
so-called ‘bowls’. And that does not
include several over-seas service af
fairs and the various colored
bowls.
“So . . whether there are getting
to be too many bowls or not, there
they are. And the trend seems to
be definitely upward. After all, it
is not bad Americanism to feel
that if the good people of, say, Cor
pus Christi, Texas, want to stage
a holiday football game for char
ity’s sake, they have as much
right to do so as the good people
of Pasadena, California.”
Next Monday, December 25th,
the second (A&M-Georgia being
the first) major howl game will
be played when Northern and
Southern All-Stars meet in Miami,
Florida. Williamson takes the
South, 13 to 7, in the first of three
North-South affairs. This one is
known as the Shriner Bowl. Two
representatives of A&M, Carl Mol-
berg and Max Greiner, will play in
this game.
For December 30th, the System
picks the South to defeat the
North again—-this time 19 to 7—
in the oldest of the North-South
games. This is the annual Bliie-
Grey contest which is played at
Montgomery, Alabama. Williamson
also picks the West to take the
East 20 to 13 on the same day.
Andy Hillhouse of A&M will take
part in this Shrine game which is
played every year for the benefit
of crippled children.
Texas To Beat Tennessee
On New Year’s Day Williamson
sees things this way: California
13, Michigan 7 in the Rose Bowl;
Oklahoma 14, Kentucky 6 at the
Sugar Bowl; Texas to beat Ten
nessee 13-7 in the Cotton Bowl;
Clemson 21, Miami, Florida 20 in
the Orange Bowl; the Sun Bowl
fans to see Denver take Cincin-
natti 21-20; Miami of Ohio to beat
Tempe State 21 to 13 in the, Salad
Bowl; Denver 20, Hawaii 6 in Hon
olulu’s Pineapple Bowl; Wharton
JC 13 to 7 over San Angelo in the
Oleander Bowl.
This leaves only one major bowl
game, the Senior Bowl, played at
Mobile, Alabama on January 6th.
The System picks the South over
the North 13-0. All participants
from the Southwest Conference
will find themselves peculiarly
playing for the North.

Athens, Ga., Dec. 21—(A 5 )—Geor
gia football players unanimously
voted Texas A&M’s Bob Smith,

The Bulldogs voted Texas A&M

first half) just as formidable as
either Texas A&M or Alabama.

good words for the university,
athletic officials and his players.
He will be paid $30,000 which the
wealthy alumni agreed to dig up to
buy off the two years remaining on
his contract.
Cravath, 47, made no direct men
tion of the pressure brought by
the Alumni. A series of secret
sessions ended with one last night
in which it was agreed to demand
the coach’s resignation and buy
up his contract.
Cravath, one of the greatest line
men in Trojan history, took over
as USC in 1942.
He guided USC to four Pacific
Coast Conference Champions and
into four Rose Bowl games. He
won the, first two but lost the last
pair, to Alabama and Michigan.
The 1950 campaign was the most
disastrous. The Trojans lost five
games, tied two and won two.
Disappointing losses were to
Navy, California and UCLA. The
final game was a big victory 9-7
over traditional rival Notre Dame,
and many felt the win might
squelch the Wolves’ howls.
Cravath’s overall record at USC
was 54 wins, 28 losses and eight
ties.
