THE BATTALION
Page 3
Fish Cagers Bow
Before Allen, 40-59
Staging a repeat performance of
Saturday nights contest with the
Texas University Shorthorns, A &
M’s freshman basketeers again
dropped a decision by li) points,
bowing to Allen Academy 40 - 59.
Disorganization and confusion
apparently dominated the Fish as
they were unable to organize an
effective machine of team-play
, throughout the entire contest.
Allen’s de Zavala opened the
game with a quick crip shot, which
lit the fuse to a skyrocket of seor-
" ing to follow.
Last Day to Sign
For Tennis Show
Today is the final day that
students may sign up for the
trip to Houston to witness the
Professional tennis matches.
Those students desiring to
make the trip should report to
the Student Activities Office and
sign up. The cost of the trip
will be $2.50 including their
ticket to the matches.
The trip will be made by bus
and private car.
Jack Kramer, Pauline Betz,
Pancho Segura and Gussie Mor
in are among the galaxy of stars
who will appear in the exhibi
tion.
The next 20 minutes found Allen
ripping holes in the weak fish de
fense which grew constantly thin
ner as half time drew near. The
first year Aggies also found dif
ficulty in penetrating Allen’s close
man to man defense which kept
them in the outer court and uncer
tain scoring range.
Rally to Late
Signs of recovery for the Fish
did not appear until mid-wayt
through the second half, when their
two main assets, Ron Dwyer and
James Addison, suddenly came to
life. Addison, working the inner
court, and Dwyer, patroling the
outer area, began urging the Ag
gie score upward. But the effort
had come too late and proved too
feeble to compare with the rapid
pace at which Allen was filling the
bucket. v
de Zavala Outstanding
Without doubt the most out
standing player of the evening was
Allen’s 6’ 5” center, de Zavala.
His easy, purposeful movements
on the court were good for 21
points, while he collected on three
fouls during the entirety of t h e
game. Possessing a variety of
shots, including a highly accurate
hook, de Zavala is sure to be a
highly sought after ball player
upon his graduation from the acad
emy.
High point man for the Aggies
was Dwyer with 14, followed by
Addison with 19.
Most Vicious Foul
Baylor Players Brutal,
Claims Arkansas Coach
Austin, Feb. 20—UP) Arkansas
basketball coach Presley Askew
said yesterday Baylor players com
mitted one of the “most vicious and
brutal fouls” he had ever seen Sat
urday night.
D. L. Miller, Arkansas guard,
was so badly hurt he probably will
be unable to play the last three
games of the season.
“It’s very fortunate the boy (Mil
ler) wasn’t seriously maimed.
Three Baylor players hit him as he
drove in for a crip. One hit him
from each side and one from the
back and drove him to the floor,”
said Askew.
Vicious
“It was one of the most vicious
and brutal fouls I’ve seen in eight-
ren years of basketball coach-
ing.”
He said Miller made the game

BRAINPOWER
Known the world over for its
ability to design and manu
facture fine aircraft, Douglas
also pioneers in other fields.
An example is the Analog
Digital Converter shown
below. This device converts
variable mechanical positions
into unambiguous electricaly
contact settings.
As it continues to advance in
the field of aeronautics and
related sciences, Douglas
offers unlimited opportunities
to men of high calibre and
university training. Many
such men have found this a
good place to work.
Douglas is always interested
in men trained as aeronauti
cal, mechanical, electrical and
civil engineers...physicists...
and mathematicians.

clinching field goal as he was
fouled but was unable to shoot
two free throws awarded by offi
cials.
“You can see how bad he was
fouled by the fact he got two free
throws even though he made the
goal. His substitute, Bob Williams,
had to take the free throws for
him,” Askew said.
The Arkansas coach said the foul
was “very unnecessary. It leaves
me feeling very bitter.”
Henderson Answers
In Waco, Coach Bill Henderson
of Baylor said “from where I was
sitting I had a different view of
that foul against Arkansas. My
boys had no intent to be malicous
or brutal but were simply trying
to break up the basket. I’m sorry
about the incident and it is unfor
tunate. My boys are not nearly so
rough as some teams.”
Tiger Cagers
f inish 2nd With
Thorndale Win
A & M Consolidated High
School’s Tiger quintet wound
up their 1951 cage campaign
in District 68B Friday night
with a thrilling 35-33 win over
Thorndale.
Leading the attack for the Tiger
five was Billy Blakely, who paced
his teammates with 10 points,
followed by Bobby Jackson with
nine counters. Don Rieger of
Thorndale netted 13 points for
scoring honors.
In 13 district contests, the Tigers
took 10 and dropped three to fin
ish second behind the District
champs, Milano.
Tiger Cage Mentor Othel Cha-
fin was well pleased with the out
come of the basketball season, as
the Consolidated quintet dropped
their first five tilts.
Bobby Williams was the only
lettei;man on the Tiger five that
showed a season record of 14 wins
and 12 defeats. Poor weather con
ditions forced cancellation of one
of the district bouts.
Blakely tallied 245 points in sea
son play for high point honors,
followed by letterman Williams,
who garnered 198. Williams missed
the last two contests.
Jerry Jackson ranked third in
the Tiger scoring circle with 147
and Joe Motheral ranked third in
the Tiger scoring circle with 147
and Joe Motheral was the number
4 man with 106.

Aggie Cagers Host To
Mustangs Tonight at 8
By RALPH GORMAN
Batt Sports Editor
A&M’s cage team puts its first
place tie on the line tonight in
DeWare Field House when they
play host to Southern Methodist’s
hot-and-cold Mustangs in a round-
ball battle that should prove influ'-
encing to the SWC cage campaign.
Coach John Floyd’s Cadets pres
ently enjoy a tie for the conference
lead that has been narrowed to only
TCU’s Horned Frogs after the
Longhorns were knocked from their
precarious perch last night by the
“new” Arkansas' ouintet, 40 to 38.
Hogs, Longhorns Tied
The Razorback win at the ex
pense of TU put both of these
teams in a tie for second place in
the Southwest’s wildest basketball
race.
As the Aggies meet SMU to
night, Coach Buster Brannon’s
Christians tangle with Coach Bill
Henderson’s “vicious and brutal”
Bruins in Fort Worth’s Will Rogers
Coliseum.
Revenge for the 51-44 drubbing
earlier in the season will be on
the minds of the Cadets when they
go onto the floor tonight against

Doc Hayes’ Mustang' cagers.
Floyd says that “the boys are in
a good frame of mind for tonight’s
contest” and philosophically sums
it up for the pre-game dopeaters
by saying that “we’ll win if we
play ball, but if we don’t play ball,
we’ll lose.”
Starting at the center post for
the Cadets will be the 6’8” Buddy
Davis, who leads A&M’s scoring
list with 248 markers. At the for
ward positions will be 6’4” Marvin
Martin, and John DeWitt, at 6’5”.
All-confex*ence guard Jewell Mc
Dowell will handle the chores at
one guard slot, while Woody Walk
er works from the other.
Halt Scoring Threats
The big job for the defending
cagers will be in halting the Mus
tang scoring threats of Whitey
Holm, Fred Freeman, and Jack
Brown. At present Brown, 6’2 U
forward, is fourth in season scor
ing with 274 points and will be
remembered by the 12 point total
he amassed in the first meeting
of these two teams.
McDowell will have the task of
halting the Pony scoring ace,
while Freeman should find a for
midable problem in working out
from under the swift feet and
watchful eye of Walker. Holm
falls under the heading of DeWitt
material and should be covered
well if previous ability of the Waco
lad is any indication.
The Cadets will field the advan
tage of not having lost on their
home court in the current season,
while the Ponies show but one
victory (Baylor) in their road
campaign.
