Back row Coach John Floyd, Glen “Mouse” Williams, John DeWitt, Walter “Buddy” Davis, Leroy Miksch and Marvin Martin. (Continued from Page 1) a 13-15 Texas edge, but Scaling re peated the performance to hand the home team its three-point sep aration once again. Another jump shot by Miksch inched the Aggies closer, 15-16. Af ter three unsuccessful field goal attempts and a bad free throw try by Texas, Miksch hit his second consecutive floor shot. A&M had gone ahead for the first time, 17-16, as the clock had run to six minutes. The score was knotted by Wom ack’s free throw one minute later and a follow-up field goal by Klein sent Texas back into the lead. With two minutes and forty sec onds remaining in the first period, McDowell tied it up at 19-19. That was the last point netted in the first period as the half finished amid unsuccessful floor shots, fouls and partisan boos. A&M went ahead first in the second and final period when John DeWitt hit from thirty feet out. Then both quintets started passing badly. After Womack made a charity and each team had lost the ball on successive poor passes, James Dow- ies tied up the game with a free throw. Miksch countered with a Aggie Swimmers Meet TU In Austin Dual Tomorrow Fifteen members of A&M’s swimming team will journey to Austin tomorrow for a dual tank meet with the University of Texas mermen. Originally scheduled for March 8, the meet was postponed last week when Texas was not quite finished with alterations on their pool. All is in readiness now and the Longhorn tankers will be favorites in the dual, having defeated Okla homa University and SMU, two teams which have won over the Ag gies. A&M was first slated to be the host team in tomorrow’s meet, but Aggie Coach Art Adamson had it moved to Austin so the Cadets could become familiar with the Longhorn pool. The SWC swim ming meet is scheduled there March 22-24. Placing second in the SWC re lays at Rice early this season, A&M won over Baylor 55-20 and Northwestern State of Louisiana 42-33. The Aggies lost duals to SMU 30-45 and Oklahoma 30-45. Dual meets with Rice were called off at the request of the Owls who were late getting started in their new pool. Accompanying Coach. Adamson and diving coach Emil Mamaliga to Austin will be Van Adamson, Joseph Blundell, Tommy' Butler, Tommy Comstock, Don Crawford, Ralph Ellis, Jimmy Flowers, Rob ert Johnson, Carroll Jones, John Noyes, John Parnell, Bill Sargent, Paul Shaffer, Wayne Strickler and Billy Karow. us THE n ) GRILL for Real Taste TREATS •' v A $. ; V./v ii'. v'r ' v; Oi ' ' v y.1 + Home Made Chili • Delicious Malts • Bar-B-Q Sandwiches • Friendly Service B&B GRILL NORTH GATE ‘Happy’ May Resign After 9-7 Vote-out Kite Contest Will Be Judged From Airplane Kites will not be the only thing “up in the air” next Sat urday morning when the Col lege Recreation Council stages its annual kite tournament.

Haboush, native Arab Galilean shepherd, will appear at the A&M Methodist Church, Wed nesday, March 14, tp show a full length travelogue, entitled “A Trip to the Holy Land.” Miami Beach, Fla., March 13— CP)—Baseball Commissioner Albert B. (Happy) Chandler will resign his post within the next six months regardless of whether his successor is elected, it was learned today. A close friend of the Commis sioner told the Associated Press that Chandler had debated the idea of quitting immediately after his repudiation by the Major League owners yesterday, but was advised against it. As was the case in St. Peters burg three months ago, the mag nates voted not to re-elect Chand ler to a new term. In a written secret ballot, nine owners voted for Chandler and seven voted against him. He needed 12 for re-election. The former Kentucky senator’s seven year contract ends April 30, 1952. He Knew He Was Licked “Happy knew he was licked Sun day after a talk with Clark Grif fith of Washington, his staunchest supporter,” the Chandler intimate said. “He suggested resigning then but was advised to reserve decision until he talked with his closest friends among the baseball magnates. “Chandler knows he cannot hope ever to be re-elected now. He is sick of baseball and disguested with the way he has been mistreated by some baseball men. He wants to get out of it as soon as possible and return to his first love, which is politics. Man of Pride “Furthermore, Happy is a man of great pride. He won’t allow himself to be a mere figurehead in any business he is in. That’s what his position has been subjec ted to now.” The crestfallen Chandler was meek and mellow yesterday in sharp contrast to his attitude at St. Petersburg when he was bitter and battling .and vowed he’d serve out his term to the last second. This time he said he would do anything the club owners wanted him to do, and that he would make it as easy as possible for them to elect a new commissioner. In the event Chandler resigns before a new commissioner is elec ted, all his powers and duties will be exercised by the Executive Council.

First Field Goal Texas made its first field goal then—a two-pointer by Dowies— seven minutes deep in the half. Bad passing again lost the ball for both sides before Ted Price and DeWitt exchanged floor shots. Miksch temporarily sent the Ag gies ahead 27-26 but Black rear ranged the score with a field goal of his own. The Longhorns then jumped ahead by four as Black made two and Dowies added three, but the Ags took back the lead on a field goal by McDowell, a liberty by Walker and a field goal from Miksch. Falk tied it with a free throw but McDowell drew A&M ahead 34-32. With three minutes and 30 sec onds to go, the Aggies threw on the freeze which ran smoothly un til Jimmy Viramontes made the fruitful Steer interception and Scaling hit the basket. After Black had made his win ning free throw, McDowell des perately threw from midcourt as the official score keeper raised his Here’s a chance to compare the box score of the first two games in the NCAA play-off series. With the final game in the balance tonight and the first two show ing a deadlock, the only remaining thwart is the Gregory Gymnasium domination in which the Aggies have not experienced the victor’s spotlight in the Austin area for 17 years.

The general concensus among the owners was that Chandler would resign sometime after Ufie opening of the regular season jrp- ril 16. Warren Giles of Cincinnati, a pro-Chandler man, said “I am sure the owners would buy up Chand ler’s contract if he asked for it.” Fred Saigh of the St. Louis Cardinals, perhaps Chandler’s bit terest antagonist, said he did not believe there was an outstanding candidate in sight and that the owners were determined “not to be Stampeded again” into naming a commissioner without a thorough investigation. Saigh refused to divulge the names of the candidates but admit ted that the list contained ‘about 30 names” including those of Stu art Symington, George Trautman, Fred Vinson, Frank Lausche, Jim Farley, J.

The exchange of courts seemed to make a great deal of difference, for the Steers were making shots they missed at College Station. But for some bad passing dur ing the second half, the Aggies played smoothly and aggressively. Miksch was the game’s leading scorer with 12 points while Mc Dowell, DeWitt, Davis and Walker collected eight, six, five and three points respectively. Scaling led the Texas scoring with eight.
