THE Exchange Store “Serving Texas Aggies” SAFE-T-WAY TAXI Phone 2-1400 Grid Captains Named on Who’s Who in Sports Two graduating A&M line men, Carl Molberg and Max Greiner have been honored by the Dell Publishing Company as they were named to that establishment’s book, WHO’S WHO IN SPORTS. The men were chosen by Stanley Woodward, editor of the book, who calculated them to be among the ranking grid stars of the country. This is the second edition of WHO’S WHO ... by Dell, who also puts out two well-known sports periodicals, FOOTBALL 1951 and SPORTS ALBUM. Greiner and Molbei’g were All- Southwest Conference linesmen last year, and they carried off awards at the A&M Winter Sports Ban quet for captaining the 1950 Ag gie football team.

But if we were to judge them the way we judge telephone equipment, we’d take the small one. You see, telephone equipment occu pies valuable space, uses costly mate rials. Paring down its size helps keep down the cost of telephone service. lake voice amplifiers, for example. Telephone engineers put the squeeze on size, came up with a new small type. When 600 of these new ampli fiers arc mounted on a frame two feet wide and eleven feet high, they do a job which once required a roomful of equipment. Size was cut —but not performance! This is one of many cases where the Bell System lias made big things small to help keep the cost of telephone service low.

These Aggie entries include seve ral experienced Title holders, who have their gloves poised for a shot at the ship title. Trophies For Winners Winners in the open division will receive large trophies with their names engraved on them. Awards will also be made to the runners-up as well as to the win ners and runners-up of the novice division.

The meet is limited to men in the prep class and many of the participants will be in competition for the first time.

Earlier in the year at a meet held in College Station the cadets took 4 out of 6 places. This group of Aggies should also give a good account of itself.

Friday, February 9, 1951 THE BATTALION Page 3 Ags Host To Underdog Bear Five Tonight at 8 RALPH E. GORMAN Batt Sports Editor Still licking the wounds inflicted by the TCU Horned Frogs earlier this week, A&M’s basketball quin tet is ready and raring for their return bout with Bill Henderson’s Baylor Bears tonight at 8 in De- Ware Field House. In a curtain raiser at 6 this eve ning, the Cadet Fish cage team will play host to the Baylor Cubs in hopes of squaring up their two game seines. The Fish were vic tims of the Cub attack when the two teams met in Waco, where the Cadet varsity triumphed in a thrilling overtime contest 55 to 53. Tonight’s bout finds the host team a heavy favorite over the visiting Bruins with the latter showing only one mark in the win column, while dropping six in conference play. According to Aggie Cage Mentor John Floyd “tonight’s game is an important one, and we want to win it.

College Ph. 3-6725 BRYAN, TEXAS "MM good defensive ball against the Frogs, but our offense was off.” “The boys are in a good frame of mind, and we should be In fine shape tonight with the offensive kinks ironed out,” the youthful roundball coach concluded. Southwest Conference fans will agree with Floyd in regard to A&M’s defensive potentialities, as the Cadets rank third among the nation’s cage teams with an average yield of some 46 points per game. Floyd’s starting Cadet five — Buddy Davis, Jewell McDowell, Marvin Martin, John DeWitt and either Don Heft, Bobby Farmer, or Woody Walker—should find rela tive ease in shrouding the Baylor goal. At the pivot position, the 6’8” Davis will be the tallest man on the court and the Bruins will be wary of what tallies the Aggies’ leading scorer may produce. Da vis counted 22 points against the Bears in their initial meeting. Ranking fourth among the SWC cage stars, Davis has amassed a total of 221 points and has gained high point honors in five of A&M’s seven conferenc'e battles this sea son. Following Davis in the pointmak ing circle is All-conference guard McDowell, who has counted 215 points in the Cadet 18 game sched ule. McDowell is a serious threat to any of the Aggie opponents with his cord-cutting set shots, and looms as a strong contender for conference fame again this season. In the Cadet reserve ranks in the 1950 campaign, Marvin Mar tin has come into his own at his forward post, to offer a formid able threat to all those who wish to contest the Floydmen in their fight for the SWC cage crown. Rounding out the four regular starters on the Aggies quintet is G’5” DeWitt, who shares the yeo man duties with Martin. DeWitt ranks third in Cadet scoring column and has produced some of the most capable ball han dling this year. Tommy Strausburger will lead the Cub attack tonight against the Fish quintet, and should produce more than a handful of trouble for the first year Cadets. Heading the freshmen scorers is Ronnie Dwyer, who has netted 64 tallies at his guard position; while James Addison follows close behind with 62 counters. The Fish cagers show a record of three wins for as many defeats in season play and will be out to better their record over this week end. After the bout with the Cubs tonight, the Fish journey to Jack sonville, where they will do battle Saturday night with the Lon Mor ris cagers. In their first meeting this year, the Lon Morris quint fell before the Cadets, 51-36, in the latter’s season opener. —Beat Baylor— PALACE TONITE PREVUE -11 P.
