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.

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.
Tourney officials revealed Sat
urday that an airplane will be
used to judge the three winners in
the highest flyer event which will
climax the unusqal meet. The air
plane is being provided by H. G.
Smith,‘manager of Easterwood Air
port. Name of the pilot who will
act as judge of the event and the
type of plane he will fly will be
announced later this week.
In addition to the highest flyer
event, competitiion also is slated
for the largest, the smallest, the
ugliest and the most unique kites.
Prizes donated by College Station
merchants will be awarded for
first, second and third places in
each event.
Registration of entries has been
set for 9 o’clock Saturday morning
on the Infantry Drill Field located
south of Duncan Mess Hall. That
drill field was picked as the site
for this year’s kite tournament
because it is relatively free from
overhead light and telephone wires.
Only two restrictions in regard
to ■ entries have been established
for the meet. One states that all
kites must be entered in the name
of some youngsters in order to
quarify for a prize, although the
youngster may not have made the
kite. The other requires that all
winning kites must prove their
ability to fly.

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. All his powers and duties
will be exercised by the Executive
Council. The Council consists of
presidents Ford Frick of the Na
tional League Will Harridge of the

dents Tom Yawkey of the Boston

field goal, but Scaling cut it in
half with a line shot.
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

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.
Take a look at the comparative box scores and individual showings
listed below.

Red Sox and Warren Giles of the
Cincinnati Reds.
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. Edgar Hoover, Harold
Medina and Charles Sawyer.

and bounded into Texas hands.
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
