Fouls Costly As
Wallop Aggies,
By FRANK N. MANITZAS
Battalion Sports Writer
That sometimes - hot-some-
times - cold Aggie basketball
team, was cold last night in
Perkins Gym at Dallas, as
the Southern Methodist Mus
tangs won their third confer
ence tilt of the season, down
ing the conference leading Ca
dets, 51-44.
By defeating the Aggies,
SMU handed to Texas, the on
ly undefeated team in confer
ence play, the league lead.

Jack Brown, two year letterman
forward for SMU, tallied six
valuable points last night off
Aggie charity shots, while scor
ing a total of 12 points to be high
point man for the Pony quin
tet, as they thumped the Cadets
51-44 for A&M’s first defeat.
The Longhorns' hold a 4-0 rec
ord while A&M is tied with
Texas Christian for the second
spot. Each team has one defeat.
It was a score-for-score, snippy-
snappy game all the way, with the
largest lead held by any quintet
garnered by the Ponies at the end
of the game. The score was tied
seven times during the fray.
For the Aggies, it was their
fourth conference game of the sea
son, and the jam-packed gym of
3,000 fans couldn’t believe that the
Ponies were playing as good as
they were.
Too Many Fouls
Too many fouls, walking “calls,”
and the fouling out of 6’ 8” All-
Conference prospect Buddy Davis
early in the second half hurt the
Maroon and White cagers. All-
Conference guard Jewell McDowell,
fouled out with a minute to play.
It was the second time in Mc
Dowell’s basketball career to leave
a game via the foul route.
SMU’s “Whitey” Holm and
A&M's Davis were the sparks of
both teams during the first half
of the game which saw the Aggies
finish ahead, 26-24. Davis scored
all of his 14 points in the first 20
minutes of play, with the majority
of his field goals coming on a
jump-twist shot in front of the
basket.
SMU Starts Fast
SMU started in front with a four
point lead and the score advanced
in favor of the Ponies until at the
midpoint of the first half where
Davis tied the score at 10-10. John
DeWitt put the Aggies momenta
rily in the lead, but Holm rebound-

ed with the tying score.
The game remained at its same
fast pace with the Mustangs out
playing the Aggies all the way, al
though A&M led at the half.
During the second half, the Po
nies shot ahead and remained there.
They shot twice for everytime the
Aggies shot, yet failed to sink as
many field goals as the losers who
led 17-16. SMU cashed in on 19
of 30 attempted charity shots which
gave them the deciding margin.
A&M, on the other hand, was con
sistent in making their free shots,
missing only three in 13 tries.

Iron Man’, Still Goot
By WHITNEY MARTIN
New York, Jan. 17—hP)—Byron
Nelson, who has been more con
cerned lately with driving cattle,
pitching hay and approaching 39
than he has been with golf, came
out of hibernation to win the Bing
Crosby tournament.
We aren’t sure just what it
proves, other than that once a
player has learned the game thor
oughly he never forgets how to
play it. And nobody can say that
Nelson didn’t learn thoroughly.
We imagine golf fans would like
to see the Texas rancher, dubbed
by Jimmy Demaret “The No. 1
Iron,” join the winter tour, as
there was a certain fascination
about the way the tall guy with
the white cap slanted down over
one eye and the grim set to his
lips played the game.
He was so mechanically perfect,

retary of State Acheson said the
proposal shows the Communists’
“contemptuous disregard of a
world-wide demand for peace.”
The Red Chinese, turning down
a UN cease-fire plan, called in
stead for seven-nation negotiations
to be held in China and withdrawal
of American forces from the For
mosa area.
Acheson issued a statement de
claring the proposal is “unaccept
able to the United States govern
ment.” He added that it doubt
less would be unacceptable to the
United Nations generally.
He issued another statement to
night which said:
“The reply of the Chinese Com
munists to the U. N. cease-fire
proposal is still further evidence
of their contemptuous disregard
of a world-wide demand for peace.
Their so-called ‘counter proposal’
is nothing less than an outright re
jection.
“Once again, the Peiping re
gime has shown a total lack of in
terest in a peaceful settlement of
the Korean question.
“There can no longer be any
doubt that the U. N. has explored
every possibility of finding a
peaceful settlement of the Korean
question. Now we must face
squarely and soberly the fact that
the Chinese Communists have no
intention of ceasing their defiance
of the U. N.
“I am confident that the U. N.
will do that. The strength of the
U. N. will lie in the firmness and
unity with which we now move
ahead.”
Doggies to Meet Engineers
After Downing Ely boys, 21-6
By JOE BLANCHETTE
A Infantry, operating off sev
eral variations of the explosive T
formation, swept into the semi
finals to oppose B Engineers by
walloping F AF, 21-6.
The Airmen fought hard and on
even terms during the first half,
but several bad breaks and a de
cided letdown on the part of the
Fliers handed the game to the in
fantrymen on a silver platter.
The two elevens took the field
for the second half with A In
fantry leading by a single point,
7-6. The Airmen kicked off to the
Infantry and under the expert guid
ance of Gene Nash, A Infantry,
drove to the AF 22 yard line be
fore they were held on downs.
After one running attempt the
Airmen decided to take to the
ozone and found their intended
aerial resting in the arms of an In
fantrymen on the 24.
The Doggie’s Harold Hudspeth
drove over tackle for two. On the
next play Don Morris took a pitch-
out from Nash and circled end for
the TD.
Once again the conversion sailed
true and the Infantry was leading,
14-6.
Another intercepted pass set up
the third and final touchdown for
the winners. The AF had taken
the kickoff on their own 20 and
in a desperate attempt to get
back into the game were passing
madly.
A partially deflected pass found
the waiting arms of a defensive
guard on the Flyboys’ 22 and once
again the Gravel-eaters were in
scoring position.
On the first play Morris picked
up five yards on a pitchout from
Nash. At this point the Infantryf
men imposed a variation in their
style of play with the single wing
offense.

A Legend
One night in ancient times, three horse
men were riding across an open desert.
As they passed through a dry river bed,
a voice called out of the night, “Halt! 1 '
The riders reined in their horses, and then
the voice ordered, “Dismount—pick up a
handful of pebbles and remount.”
When the horsemen were again in their
saddles, the voice said, “You have done
as I have commanded. Tomorrow at
dawn you will be both glad and sorry.”
Mystified, the three men rode off into
the night.
As the sun climbed above the horizon
the next morning, they reached into their
pockets. A miracle had happened, for in
stead of the pebbles, their hands were
filled with diamonds, rubies and other
precious stones.
And then they remembered the strange
omen. They were both glad and sorry—glad
they had taken some, sorry they had noi
taken more.
