Winter Sports Fete
Saturday in Sbisa
Outstanding players on the 1950
A&M football team will be honor
ed during the annual Winter Sports
Banquet to be held tomorrow night
in Sbisa Hall.
In former years, local individ
uals have singled out top players
and given them awards for their
performance. Two of the 1949 win
ners—Carl Molberg of Fredericks
burg and Max Greiner of Houston
—have just completed their eli
gibility with the Aggies and could
possibly receive the awards the
second time.
Bishop John E. Hines of Aus
tin will be principal speaker for
the banquet, talking on “The Goal
Beyond the Goal Line.” Bishop co
adjutor of the Episcopal Diocese
of Texas, the Rev. Hines is well
known for his colorful and forceful
talks. Bishop Hines is a graduate
of the University of the South at
Sewanee wher - e he played basket
ball during his student days.
B. C. Goodwin of Southern Methodist smiles briefly after having
received the Southwest Conference Sportsmanship award which
is presented annually to a conference school. At his left is Mac
Bentliff of Texas University, who is chairman of the committee.
The trophy was donated by The Battalion in 1948.

DuBose’s New job
At TU--Certain
William T. “Bill” DuBose indi
cated Thursday he will resign as
line coach at A&M if the Board of
Regents at the University of Tex
as accepts his application as Long
horn end coach.
DuBose, a graduate of the Uni
versity, had not formally signed
his resignation, but Barlow “Bones”
Irvin, A&M Athletic Director, said
he expected it momentarily.
Both Irvin and Coach Harry
Stiteler expressed keen regret at
losing DuBose. Irvin said DuBose
had done a fine job at A&M and
DuBose’s absence would be felt.
“I have worked with Bill for 12
years, and I have always been
more than satisfied with his work,”
said Stiteler. “In all those years
he’s been a big help in our strug
gle up the line. I hate to lost him
because of our close personal and
professional feeling, but I know he
wants to return to his home school.
All I can do is wish him well.”
Irvin said that no successor had
been picked for DuBose. The big
line coach has been coaching at
A&M for the past three years.
“I’d never leave A&M if it were
not for my chance to return to
Texas,” DuBose said. “I’ve enjoy-

An off-tackle smash shortly be
fore the half netted the footballers
from Squadron 12 a 7-0 win over
the gridiron squad from Company
8. The stout Squadron 12 defense
did not allow the Company 8 men
to advance inside the forty yard
line. The winners led in penetra
tions 7-0.
The Fish Band battled the Com

only to lose the game on pene

Company 11 waltzed all over the
bewildered Company 7 gridders to
win by the overwhelming score of
19-0. The winners were ahead in

Company 7 offensive to drive in

A safety, two touchdowns, and

A meeting of the local golden

Monday night in Room 301 of
Goodwin Hall, coach of the local

surrounding territory who wish

stitute Forward Vol Montgomery.
Guard Ronald Dwyer then matched
a Rice free throw to again tie
the score.
Small tallied again for the Owl
ets but Fish forward Don Nederer
retaliated with his first goal of the
evening to put the game on ice.
Fouls Hurt
The visitors proved to be their
worst enemies then as two conse
cutive fouls gave A&M the ball
out of bounds with but one minute
and eleven seconds remaining.
Things Idoked fine for the Fish,
but with only 50 seconds to go,
a bad pass returned the ball to
the Slimes. It was then that Cadets
took over control of the backboards
until the last chance shot by Kelly.
Rice had managed to get pos
session by the grace of an Aggie
foul, but trailing by two points,
they took it out of bounds with but
two seconds to play. Kelly by
passed an Aggie and raced for the
basket. The gun went off as the
ball went up, as the clock and an
A&M defender had forced Kelly to
shoot off balance.
This was the third straight win
for Coach John Floyd’s junior bas-
keteers. They had previously beat
en Wharton and Lon Morris Jun
ior Colleges by the scores of 41-38
and 51-35.
Beavers and Small led both
teams in individual scoring with
11 and 9 points while Dwyer was
high man for the Aggies with
nine.
