Six Sports Events
In Four Phases On
Weekend Calendar
Fans of this area will be afford
ed the opportunity this week-end
to get a look-see at six athletic
events in four phases of Aggie
sports—swimming, tennis, football,
and baseball.
Starting this afternoon at 2,
the Cadet tennis team play host
to the Southeastern College of
Oklahoma netters in College Sta
tion’s first tennis exhibition for
the 1951 season.
, Swimming Meet
Tonight at 7:30 the Aggie mer
men go into the water against a
powerful Oklahoma Sooner swim-
. ming team in a pool contest that
was previously scheduled for 3 p.
m.
Again Saturday, Coach Art
Adamson’s tankers will play host to
another group of aquamen, this
time the Rice Owls, with start
ing time set for 2:30 in Downs Nat-
atorium. This is the Cadets third
conference meet of the season.
Grid Scrimmage
Saturday at 2:30 p. m. on the
practice field just west of Kyle
Field gridiron, Coach Harry Stite-
ler will divide the spring football
candidates into two groups for the
first regular scrimmage game.
In the initial showing of the 1951
football potentialities, the Aggie
grid mentor has not named regular
lineups for the maroon and white
elevens. Plans are that different
gridiron combinations of linemen
and backs will be switched in-
termittenly to show better the var
ious candidates possibilities.
In practice this week the coach
ing staff has been stressing form
with fundamentals, but tomorrow
the form combines with just plain
hustle and pop.
Tomorrow’s scrimmage session
will give Aggie grid followers
their first chance to see how the
new and old candidates are shap
ing up.
Beginning this afternoon and
continuing through Saturday, Base
ball Coach R. C. “Beau” Bell will
run his diamond aspirants through
many innings of practice.
Baseball Talent
With the first game only a week
away, Coach Bell has the task of
cutting his group of diamondmen
down to traveling size. At present
there are from three to five men
for each position and after some
seven innings today and approx
imately 18 innings Saturday, the
Aggie diamond mentor should have
a good indication of who will be
in the 1951 baseball lineup.
Brooke Field Medics baseballers
will be the first opponent for the
Cadet nine and two games are
scheduled with the Army men for
Friday and Saturday of next week.
Fish Baseball
Freshman baseball Coach Wally
Moon plans to start Fish diamond
practice Mond^r afternoon at 3
and urges all first year men who
would like to try out for the team
be present for the initial get-to
gether.

Cadet Cagers Take Conference Lead
To Houston for Battle With Rice Five
By RALBH GORMAN
Batt Sports Editor
With a firm grasp on the
Southwest Conference bas
ketball lead, A&M’s cagers
journey to Houston tomorrow
morning to meet Coach Don
Suman’s Rice Owls on their
home court at 8:15 p. m. in
one of the most important
contests on the Cadet sche
dule.
A victory over the Insti
tute’s Feathered Flock will
assure the Aggies of at least
a tie for the Conference
championship with one of
three teams—Arkansas, Texas, or
Texas Christian—presently locked
in combat for the No. 2 spot.
Last Won in 1923
Not since 1923, when the Aggie
roundballers won the conference
cage crown, has an A&M team
been so near the promised land.
The Owls play host to Coach
John Floyd’s Cadets on their new
Autry Court in Rice’s million dol
lar gymnasium. Less than four
months old, the new gym seats
5,500 in regular seats and may be
increased to a capacity of 6,000
with the addition of bleachers.
Bill Whitmore, Rice sports news
director has assured Aggie fans
of ample seats.
In a curtain raiser at 6 Satur
day evening, the Aggie Fish cagers
meet the Rice Owlets, with the lat
ter hoping to avenge their loss
earlier in the season.
At halftime two representatives
from The Battalion will present
Rice Yell Leader Teddy Montz with
a plaque for the 1949 Sportsman
ship award. The award will be
made on behalf of The Battalion
and will be to replace the Sports
manship trophy now at Southern
Methodist University for the 1950
award.
Paced by the high scoring Joe
McDermott, 6’ 4” Owl center, last
week the Rice cagers put a 54-49
quietus on the best Horned Frog
five in the history of TCU, and
stunned SWC fans to rank as a
quintet that is to “challenge the
Challengers.”
Own 2 - 7 Record
, Showing a conference cage rec
ord of seven losses to compare with
two wins, the Owls will have de
signs on upsetting Aggie hopes in
the Southwest’s wildest basketball
scramble.
The Owls will have trouble bet
tering the 39 point total they
amassed in the first meeting with
the conference’s leading exponent
of ball-control, as the Cadets rank
second in the nation on team de
fense.
One of Texas A&M’s best bas
ketball prospects for next season
is Don Binford, transfer from
Wichita, (Kan.) University. Bin-
ford was one of Coach John Floyd’s
students at Wellington, (Kan.)
high school.
Suman will call on the services
of the big McDermott at the pivot
post, J. D. White and Jim Gerhardt
on the forward chores; and Ralph
Grawunder and Leonard Childs in
the guard positions.
“Big Three”
White, Gerhardt, and McDermott
have been the big guns in the Owl
scoring so far this season; while
the star Owl center and Grawunder
have cleaned the backboard con
sistently.
Floyd’s crest-riding Cadets will
have a definite height advantage
over the Houstonians, as only sub
center Bill Bailey towers above the
6’ 4” mark for the Owls.
The Aggie lineup will read the
same for the starting berths as
it has for Hie last four games.
Jumping from the center post
will be big Buddy Davis, 6’ 8”; with
John DeWitt, 6’ 5”, and Marvin
Martin, 6’ 5” at the forward slots.
Doing guard chores will be Jew-F
ell McDowell, 5’ 10” and Woody
Walker, 5’ 8”.
Floyd has been working his
charges against Owl plays during
the past week with the freshmen,
cagers doing the challenging work.
After a day’s rest following the
victory over SMU, the Aggie cag
ers exhibited polish with cool con
fidence in their quick opening of
fense and their shooting.
Should Be Tough
But don’t strike the Owls off the
record for their poor showing in
SWC play, for they are out to
give the Cadets one of their tough
est tests of the' year.
After tomorrow night’s game the
College Station cagers travel to
Austin for their twelfth and final
cage tilt in the 1951 campaign.
General admission for tomorrow
night’s game will be $1.20 and re-
sei-ved seats will sell for $1.80.

It's a big world! And it never seems bigger to anyone, than it does
to the child who is lost.
Some instinct compels her to go on but she does not know where
she is, or where she is going
Millions of American children are lost. They are growing up to face
life without the sense of direction that makes all the difference between
happiness and hopelessness.
