Bdays.
fiL Any A&M student is eligible
flffor the kegler competition. Accord-
t ing to the alley manager, a student
Bis “anyone enrolled for one hour’s
B credit or more.” This, he said, in-

Georgia.
Smith Not Suited
Three stalwarts from the rank
and file of gridsters who helped
put Aggie athletics through their
most successful year since 1943
were not suited up for the opening
day and will not see service in the
spring football program.
Bob Smith, A&M’s All-American
fullback who added the “away” to
the art of breakaway running is
on the roster of track candidates,
as is sophomore quarterback - end
Darrow Hooper.
Yale Lary, who played in every
backfield spot but the man-under ;
post and experienced more playing |
time than any of the Kyle Field :
stars other than Carl Molberg, |
will be seeking his second letter
in the Cadet baseball lineup.
Lary played both right field
and the first sack and was regard
ed as one of the top hitters in
last season’s diamond play.
New Baseball Coach Beau Bell
is counting heavily on the young
Cowtowncr to deliver the goods
when the baseball campaign gets
undei’way Mar. 2
Dollar—New Star
At present all eyes around Kyle
Field are pinned on the recent
junior college acquisition, Roy Dol
lar. Standing 6’ 2”, the 192 pound
Del Mar Junior College quarter
back comes to Aggieland via the
graduation route and will begin his
two years of eligibility in the fall.
His record in JC competition
shows 15 paydirt passes for a
team that won 19 games while
dropping but two. Hip quarter-
backing experience dates back to
his high school days when he play
ed tailback for Mexia and in Dol
lar’s most recent season with the
Corpus Christi Junior College, he
handled the punting shores with an
average of 40 yards per boot.
A convert to the T formation
style of play, Dollar joins Dick
Gardemal, Ray Graves, and Delmar
Sikes as top candidates for the
man-under slot.
Gardemal Shows Well
As the first day of practice
opened, Gardemal fell right in
line with the adept ball handling
duties, while Graves and Sikes
exhibited little need for polish in
the passing game.
Stiteler plans—plenty of scrim
mage in the two hour per day, six
day week training period. His de
sire is for every player to get a
chance to find the position best
suited for his abilities.
The training schedule calls for
three intra-squad games on the
last three Saturdays of practice,
and possibly one next Saturday,
provided the squad progresses rap
idly enough.
Although most of his shots come from the outside, All-conference
guard Jewel McDowell is a capable eager under the basket as
well, as is shown here against Baylor. Against Arkansas last
night McDowell hit five times from beyond the 25 foot mark and
was high point man for the Cadets with 12 counters.
SWC Vetoes Rule
Change, Others OK
Lubbock, Tex., Feb. 13—(A*)—The I tive secretary of the Conference
Border Conference yesterday voted 1 said the poll was on making the
to allow freshmen to play along- j changes effective immediately and
side varsity squadmen in spring
sports.
Earlier yesterday in Dallas, of
ficials of the Southwest Confer
ence announced that a similar pro
posal was defeated by a narrow
margin.
Southern Conference O. K.
Last week the Southern Confer
ence voted to allow freshmen to
take part in varsity sports.
Dr. J. William Davis of Texas
Tech, president of the Border Con
ference, said the needed major
ity of six votes was reached today.
There are nine schools in the con
ference—from -T-Oxas, Arizona and
New Mexico.
Border Conference freshmen will
not be eligible for the rest of the
1950-51 basketball season.
The freshman eligibility proposal
was defeated in the Southwest Con
ference when three schools voted
for the measure and four against.
A majority of five votes was need
ed for approval.
However, Howard Grubs, execu-
reflected an opinion on spring
sports, but possibly not on football.
The conference has a meeting
scheduled the second week in May
and another vote may be discussed
then, Grubbs said.
Ags Bow To
Bout; Frogs,
Hogs In Overtime
Bears Score Wins
The Southwest Conference
basketball campaign took a
turn last night in three con
ference camps that threw the
race into a melee of chaos and
confusion.
Buster Brannon’s Horned
Frogs up at TCU jumped from
third to a first place tie with
the Texas Longhorns, when
they down Jack Gray’s Or
ange and White quintet 49
to 34. The Christians and
the Steers show six wins and
two losses apaiece in confer
ence play to lead the league.
Up in Fayetteville, Coach Pres
ley Askew’s Hogs unleashed lethal
fury in the closing minutes last
night, as Coach John Floyd’s Ca
det cagers fell apart at the seams
in an overtime period to bow to
the Razorbacks, 45 to 38.
A&M’s cage quintet fought their
hardest game of the season and
came from behind twice to find the
score deadlocked 36 all at the end
of two regular periods.
Then in that fatal extra session,
the Cadet attack began to wither
and innumerable fouls were called
at the expense of the visitors.
Bob Williams scored on a hook
shot that sent the Hogs ahead and
big Bob Ambler followed through
with a tip-in, as D. L. Miller
counted on a charity toss. The Ag
gies were trailing 36-41 with less
than tAvo minutes remaining.
Cadet Marvin Martin narrowed
the Razorback lead with a one
hander for the final Aggie tally,
as Norman Prince and Williams
bucketed field goals on lay ups and
the final score read: Arkansas 45,
A&M 38.
Buddy Davis led the Floyd char
ges as he scored 11 points for the
Aggies and cleaned the backboard
time and again during regular play
to keep the Cadets in the game.
McDowell Hits Five
All-conference guard Jewell Mc
Dowell found the range five times
from outside the 25 foot mark and
cut the cords for 10 points and
runnerup honors for the visitors.
Ambler led the Arkansas team
in scoring with 15 points. His
sterling play kept seven-foot Billy
Hester on the bench throughout
the game.
TCU 49, Texas 34
Six-foot, seven-inch George Mc
Leod scored 19 points last night as
he led Texas Christian to a 49-34
triumph over Texas in Will Rogers
Coliseum.
Some 5,100 fans witnessed the
game.
The victory pulled the Frogs into
Kentucky Still No. 1
Cagers, Ags No. 2
Bonus Baby Ben
Gets Draft Call
Fort Worth, Tex., Feb. 13—GP)
^-Ben Tompkins, the latest bonus
baby of the Philadelphia Phillies
of the National League, has re
ceived orders to report for induc
tion into the army next Monday.
Tompkins signed a contract with
the Phillies less than two weeks
ago reportedly calling for a bonus
estimated between $25,000 and
$50,000. He was due to report at
the Phillies’ Clearwater, Fla.,
spring training headquarters
Thursday.
He was signed off the University
of Texas campus where he had an
other year of eligibility after star
ring in both football and baseball.
New York, Feb. 13—UP)—Ken
tucky’s Wildcats still ranked No. 1
today in the ninth weekly Associat
ed Press poll of the nation’s bas
ketball greats—but look out for
the Oklahoma Aggies.
Oklahoma A&M, which came
through Kansas, Oklahoma and
Drake with colors flying last week,
is on the poll prowl. The Aggies
are only 44 points back of Ken
tucky in the latest tabulation of
votes from the nation’s sports
writers and sportscasters. There
were no chances in the top 10
teams, but the order of ranking
was scrambled.
A week ago, Kentucky had 78
first place votes to only 15 for
Oklahoma A&M. This time—and
it undoubtedly was the showing of
coach Hank Iba’s Aggies against
Kansas and Oklahoma—it's much
closer.
Kentucky, which mauled Georgia
Tech in its only game last week,
received but 55 votes this week
as the No. 1 team, while Oklahoma
got 31. In points, Kentucky is
ahead by 1,063 to 1,019. A total
of 119 votes were cast. Kentucky
has a season mark of 19-1.
Oklahoma A&M, now boasting a
record of 21 victories and one de
feat, undoubtedly picked up heavy
support by avenging its only loss
to Oklahoma last month. Last

a tie with the Longhorns for first
place in the conference. Both have
six triumphs and two defeats.
TCU flattened Texas in the open
ing minutes and applied the pres
sure most of the way, although in
the last stages the victors were
content to protect their lead.
Frog Didn’t Score
TCU didn’t score a field goal the
final 11 minutes.
The Longhorns hit only three
field goals the first half, the re
sult of a combination of a tight
TCU defense and cold shooting.
TCU led at the half, 28-14, and
at 10:05 minutes of the second half
by 46-24, the largest margin en
joyed by the Frogs.
Bears 61, Owls 58
Baylor roared from behind in the
last five minutes, then put the
ball in deep freeze the last 93
seconds to trim Rice, 61-58, in a
Southwest Conference basketball
game in Waco last night.
Little Howie Hovde made the
clincher for the Bruins, dribbling
past his guard for a lay up shot
to give the Bears a 61-57 lead
with three minutes to play. Sec
onds before he had broken a 57-
57 tie on another drive-in shot.
Johnson Again
Big Joe McDermott of the Owls
popped in 18 points in the first
half, then went scoreless the last
half. Ralph Johnson of Baylor
tabbed 20 to increase his scoring
lead.
The score was tied 17 times with
Rice holding a 37-33 lead at half
time. The victory enabled Baylor
to sanp a 6-game losing streak and
climb out of the SWC cellar.
