Cadet Cagers Clip ItCU Frogs, 39-36, For 3rd SWC Win By FRED WALKER An overflowing crowd of more than 3,500 screamed with delight Saturday night as the Aggies slowed the scurrying TCU Horned Frogs to a walk and a stumble, downing the six-point favorite, 39-36. Aggie supporters were not disappointed. Playing with the preciseness of an adding machine, the Maroon and White quintet displayed a brand of defense that would have made Sugar Ray Robinson envious. The heralded Frogs, famous for running up huge scores, ,were held to 15 points in the first half while the Aggies 'tallied 25. The final score was 36 bitter points for the Toads to swal low since they had set one confer ence record and tied another with high scoring. TCU Scores First TCU managed to draw first blood with a free throw, but A&M quickly retaliated with a liberty and a field goal. From there oh it was a wide open game, regardless of the score. The pace was the fastest the Aggies had played all season, but the home five still managed to thwart TCU attempts for an even faster race. Said Jewell McDowell, stab Aggie guard; “It was the fastest game we played. They tried to play faster, but just couldn’t.” After the game was over and the chaos had subdued, it appear ed as if free throws might have made the difference. A&M made 15 of 18 while TCU was missing 10. Earlier in the week, Coach John Floyd told the press that the Ag gies would be making “70% or better of their free throws from now on.” The .833 his charges wracked up Saturday proved that he meant every word of it. Never Had Chance Coach “Buster” Brannon’s boys never had a chance the first half at A&M played an unsurpassed de fensive game. They controlled the backboards and almost every inch of the court as well. Every time a shot was tried an Aggie ap peared to hamper the attempt. Only four of the 15 points scored in that first frame were made any ways near the basket. The rest were made either “far out” or at the foul line. It was a game of catch-up for the Frogs during the second half, but they never quite made it. TCU drew first blood on a field goal by Ted Reynolds but the Aggies quickly retaliated two one-pointers by Don Heft and one by Buddy Davis. With the pace growing faster George McLeod, TCU center and leading team scorer, had a little better luck as Davis, who had com mitted four fouls in the first half, had to relax a bit to keep in the game, but fouled out with six min utes and 22 seconds remaining. Lead—Too Much It was a staunch try by the Frogs, but the game had been won in the first half and the ten-point lead proved too much. With less than two minutes to go, TCU scored six straight points to nar row the lead to a mere three, but some fancy ball handling by A&M (See THIRD WIN, Page 4) Lend me a hand " Polio Dimes Begins Here Drive Today Saber Totin’ Ladies Rout Hold-up Men New York, Jan. 15— ( JP)—A pair of sword-wielding 60-year-old wo men routed two armed holdup men last week-end while one of their husbands looked on in awe. Police said the trio — Henry Schmalz, 62, and his wife, of Ozone Park, Queens, and Mrs. Frances Dauch, of Brooklyn—were accosted by two unidentified neg roes just a few minutes after leav ing the Brooklyn Masonic Temple. They had been, attending an in stallation for the Esther Court of the Order Amaranth, a Masonic Women’s Auxiliary, and the two ladies were carrying their ritual swords. One assailant grabbed Mrs. Dauch’s purse and she lunged for ward with her sword. She later was quoted as claiming a “touche!” Then Mrs. Schmalz prepared to go “en garde.” The two men fled, firing one parting shot. The bul let grazed Mrs. Schmalz’s leg. Mrs. Dauch said her stolen purse contained about $11. The admiring Schmalz took his wife home after she was treated. Spring Registration Scheduled Jan. 29-30 The thirteenth annual March of Dimes campaign got underway to day in College Station and Bryan to try to refill the coffers of the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis which in 1949 and 1950 spent some $47,000,000 for treat ment and research. The local chapter of the National Foundation is headed, by Homer T. Blackhurst, associate professor in Police Seek Culprit Who Stole Man’s Leg Chicago, Jan. 15——Police are oh the lookout for a thief with I three legs—assuming that the ■third had two legs to start with. The third leg was reported stolen by Edwin Jorzak, 27, of Knox, ^ Ind., who said it was his spare one.

Says Blackhurst about the cam paign, “Last year was the third successive year of unusually high polio incidence with the result that our backlog is steadily increasing? It is a double-barreled job and we will need a lot of help.” Last year in Brazos County alone the National Foundation through funds received from the March of Dimes, paid $3,340 for the hospital bills for five children and adults stricken with polio. They also paid for six carry-over cases from 1949. The money went as follows: 176 days of hospitalization $1,080 Medical serwices 460 Drugs, medicines 249 Orthopedic services 51 Misc.

As Red Build-Up Continues Total $3,340 The mayors of both College Sta tion and Bryan, Ernest Langford and R. C. Dansby, have officially “proclaimed the days between Jan. 15-31 as March of Dimes period in our cities and call upon all to do their utmost to insure the suc cess of the drive and the contin uance of the fight against infantile paralysis.” Blackhurst adds, “With the ris ing tide of polio in the last thi’ee years this problem of carry-over care is becoming progressively acute from a standpoint of finance. “Acute or not, however, these patients must receive treatment and it is our job to see that they do. I know that residents of Bra zos County will see this problem in the same human terms when the March of Dimes taps gently on the door\yay to their hearts.” 1.S. Will ‘Stay and FighF Says Army Chief in Korea By OLEN CLEMENTS Tokyo, Jan. 15 — (A 5 ) — Gen. J. Lawton Collins said today that American forces “will certainly stay and fight” in Korea. The U. S. Army Chief of Staff told a news conference in Korea that troop replacements will begin to arrive in numbers in two or three months. Some already are going to the front, he said. One new regular army division will be organized, Collins added. National Guard units will be call ed into service. Yongwol Recaptured While Collins was taking a close look at the Korean war situation, Allied troops recaptured fire-black ened Yongwol on the east-central front. Their reentry into the town eased pressure somewhat against U. S. Second Division forces hold ing off powerful Red forces near Wonju, 30 miles northwest of Yongwol. But the Second Division’s fight ing stand in defense of the net work of roads fanning out into the heart of South Korea still was in grave danger. A Communist force of possibly 30,000 troops was re ported operating in the rugged mountain area 25 to 55 miles south of Wonju. It threatened to choke off the Second Division’s with- Meanwhile, Communist reinforce ments were reported pouring into the area north and west of Wonju. There they would be in position for a frontal assault against the stand fast American, French and Dutch troops of the division or a flank sweep building up the cut-off threat. Collin’s Promise Collins’ promise that the U. S. would stay in Korea followed a se ries of high-level talks in Tokyo. These brought together General MacArthur; Collins; Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, U. S. Air Forces Chief of Staff; Lt. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, Chief of the U. S. Central Intelligence Agency, and Maj. Gen. Alexander R. Bolling, Army Chief oi Intelligence. High naval officers also sat in.

Nance said that pictures of club officers will be included on the whole pages. Entries in Vanity Fair, Senior Favorites, or space reservations for club pictures may be made at the office of Student Activities, sec ond floor, Goodwin Hall. Texas Real Estate Association directors who wish to place real estate on the professional level as doctors and lawyers, met this past week-end at the MSC for their an nual mid-winter business meeting. Headed by Owen W. Sherrill, Aggie-ex, class of ’10, the realtors discussed a program to step-up membership so that more people will know more about real estate.

The Bryan-College Station chap ter of the TREA is one of sixty- one of the chapters operating thi-oug’hout Texas. Over the na tion, there are approximately 45,- 000 members who are banded to gether to promote better relation ship between realtors and citizens. Texas realtors hold quarterly, semi-annual, and annual schools to teach citizens the fundamentals of real estate. They do this to educate the people to the fact that real estate is fastly becoming a recognized profession. speculation—even that Nationalist China’s troops might be permitted to fight in Korea. . There were even reports that the talks dealt with the possible evac uation of Korea by U. N. troops. No announcement was made by the high command. Collins, however, in his Korean news conference, said: “I am not going into the future, but as of now we intend to stay and fight in Korea.” This modifying reference to the future added to the mystery of just what were the U. S, intentions. Dr. French Heads Oak Ridge Group Dr. C.
