Page 4 THE BATTALION Monday, February 12,1951 Mulhollen-W illiams Glove Final Bound By JOE BLANCHETTE Quinton Mulhollen and Harold Williams, two-hard hitting, fast- moving Aggies will compete in the Texas Golden Glove finals in. Fort Worth after winning their respect ive division bouts at the Allen Academy Gym Friday and Satur day nights. Harold Williams will represent the cream of the Bryan area light heavy-weights as he decisively de feated Roy Abridge of Allen Aca demy Friday night. The lithe Aggie pounded Abridge unmercifully with looping hoobs and as far as the Allen Academy fighter was concerned he was lead ing only with his chin. Mulhollen will fight in the Fort Worth tourney as a featherweight after winning in the Bryan tourna ment by default. Other Aggies who fought in the Bryan meet were Pat LeBlanc, El- wood Schmidt, Hosea Taylor, B. D. Manning, Phil Duron, James Lopez, Richard Clarb, Jack Fow ler, Bill Bedford, Ken Womack, Joe Jackson, Dick Frey, Jesse Viv- ero, Charles Lucas, and Roy Mar tin.

Jewell McDowell is definitely not encouraging a game of patty-cake with Baylor guards Bill Harris (5) and Bill Fleeetwood (7). When McDowell took the bounce, Harris' was so surprised he for got the ball; John DeWitt—like so many times during the 48-36 Bear route—came up with the valuable sphere. Fish Suffer Double Loss; Varsity Plays Hogs Tonight While Lon Morris Junior College was sowing the seeds of victory over the Aggie Fish, the A&M varsity quintet was riding the rails northward to meet the Ark ansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville tonight. In the preliminary to the A&M vs. Baylor tilt Friday night in De- Ware Field House, the Fish fought doggedly against the Cubs in an effort to break the losing streak which has been hanging over them since the Cubs defeated them earl ier in the season. Played Catch-Up The fish tailed all the way up until half way through the sec ond half when big Roy Martin, 6’ 7” fish center, tipped in James Addison’s free throw to shove the fish one point ahead. This rapidly grew into a five point lead as hopes of victory soared. In the closing seconds of the second overtime, the Cubs staged two fast breaks and a free throw which shot them into the lead by five points and spelled defeat to the fish to the tune of 45-40. The following night the fish in vaded the domain of the Lon Mor ris JC Bearcats at Jacksonville, Texas, where paced by Juan Roig, Aurelio Ramirez, and “Bo” Cus- ley, the Bearcats shot into an early lead and left the fish eating their dust throughout the entirety of the game. The fish never regained their equilibrium as the Bearcats ripped through their weak defense to roll up a total of 69 points against the freshmen’s 47. John Floyd, Texas A&M basket ball mentor, usually gets a better workout than do his charges. He believes in “showing” rather than “telling” his charges how to play a position. Razorback coach Presley Askew’s cagers will be seeking consolation for the 34-33 defeat handed them by the Aggies two weeks ago in a sizzling game in DeWare Field House. Those who saw that game will remember for some time the narrow thread by which Aggie conference hopes held as the Raz- orbaeks led up to the final three seconds of the game. It was big Walter Davis, tower ing Aggie center, who leaped into the air and tipped in Jewel Mc- dowell’s long shot to pull the Farmers out of the hole and into the one point lead which deemed A&M the victor. Arkansas holds a position very near the bottom in conference standings, but this in no way af fects the threat they present to A&M’s championship chances with the Aggies in their present posi tion of six wins and two losses. Ags Skin Br’er Bruin; Fur Market Collapses Playing a faster-than-usual game and shooting with dead ly accuracy, the Aggies rip ped through the visiting Bay lor Bears last Friday night by a fat 12- point margin, 48-36. The over-flowing throng was surprised to see the Aggies take long shots from all angles; they were delighted when the home-towners connected .416 of the time. As long as forward Ralph John son, who scored 22 of Baylor’s 36 points, was connecting with re- Ags Break Two Records While Sinking NLSC The A&M swimming team sank Northwestern Louisiana by a score of 42-33 last Fri day night as two pool records were smashed. Don Blundell of the Aggies set a pool record of 2:33.6 in the 200- meter backstroke and Dan Lockey of NLSC collapsed a pool and col lege record by breezing in with a 2:39.8 in the 200-yd. breast stroke. The Aggies would have won by a higher score if Tommy Butler and Ralph Ellis had not been dis qualified for failing to touch the pool ends when turning since inter collegiate swimming rules state that at least one hand and one foot must touch the bank in a turn. Sixteen points were collected by the Aggies in the 220-free-style and 200-yard backstroke alone with Van Adamson turning in a 2:22 in the freestyle event while the abovementioned 2:33.6 was made by Blundell in the 200-meter back- stroke. SMU will be the next opponent of the Aggie mermen when they journey to Dallas on the 17th of February. So far this season, the Aggie’s record is two wins and a 2nd place in the SWC Relays at Houston January 13th. Beat SMU markable consistency the contest was in doubt, but throughout the second half the Aggies allowed him but six markers and then rolled through the last ten min utes unmolested. First blood was drawn by Bay lor when guard Howard Hovde stached one of two free throws, but Buddy Davis retaliated with one of his own to start a torrid pace in which the lead changed hands frequently. Fast Finish With 7:36 still on the clock A&M had leaped ahead by four points, 22-18, but as soon as Bear forward Derrell Davis closed the gap with a tallied three, Jewell McDowell and John DeWitt squelched the ef fort with a combined five. Johnson, guard John Starkey, Marvin Martin and Davis all got into the act then and ran the score up to 30-28—in favor of A&M— DeWitt and McDowell hurried in two field goals and the half ended with the Aggies out in front, 34- 28. The fans almost went crazy the second period for the Bruins nev er tasted a point for nine minutes and 43 seconds; then Johnson made a liberty. The outcome was inevit able as A&M dropped in two points for everyone of Baylor’s. McDowell Shines It was a great night for Mc Dowell in particular, who scored 14 points to be A&M’s point lead er. In the last three games McDow ell had been unable to find his range and had shown little of his old form, but he erased all doubts of his ability when, in the second period, he put on a beautiful show of dribbling and shooting that was almost perfect. He rolled up nine points in that second frame and romped through the Bears at will. It was not a one-man game by any means for all the Aggies shone brilliantly. DeWitt played alertly throughout and purloined the ball again and again. Davis and Mar tin, who both fouled out late in the second half, received a well deserved hand from the fans for their stalwart aggressiveness, while little Woody Walker, whose four points were more than half of his previous scoring total, showed that a small man can play offensive and defensive basketball as well as any six-footer, This was the sixth conference win for A&M and the seventh loss for Baylor. Texas, who defeated Rice, 77-51 the same night, still leads the SWC with a (i-l record,' 1 while A&M is second with (i wins and two losses, TCU is third with 5-2 record. j Beal Arkansas DON’T FORGET WEDNESDAY February 14th, is VALENTINE DAY The day you want to remember your friends and loved ones that special way—with . . .
