THE BATTALION
Texas Newspapers
Have All-SWC Day
By GUS BECKER
Battalion Sports Writer
Yesterday was All Southwest Conference day for Texas
newspapers, it seemed, as four—The Dallas Morning News,
The Houston Post, the Waco Tribune-Herald and the Fort
Worth Star Telegram—picked their All-SWC teams.
For the first string offensive unit, all four newspapers
picked seven players alike with a few differences in the
other four.
The seven unanimous were ends, Stanley Williams of
Baylor and Bill Howton of Rice; Tackle Jack Little of the
Aggies; center, Dick Hightower of SMU; quarterback Lary
Isbell of Baylor; and halfbacks Glenn Lippman of the Aggies
and Gib Dawson of Texas.
Offensive tackle slot was between Steve Dowden of
Baylor and Jim Lansford of Texas. The disputed guard
position found five players contesting for the two disputed
position—Harley Sewell of Texas, Walter Bates of Baylor,
Alton Taylor of TCU, Dave Hanner of Arkansas, and Her-
schel Forester of SMU.
In the backfield three players were in the running for
the other backfield slot—Billy Tidwell of the Aggies, Ray
McKown of TCU and Billy Burkhalter of Rice.
Only five players were picked by all four papers on the
defensive platoon — Guards, which were no problem this
time, were Bill Athey of Baylor and Herbert Zimmerman of
TCU; linebacker Keith Flowers of TCU; halfback Yale Lary
of A&M and safetyman Bobby Dillon of Texas.
Contesting for the two defensive end positions were Bill
Howton of Rice, Paul Williams of Texas, Tom Stolhanske of
Texas, Frank Fischel of Arkansas, and Wayne Martin of
TCU.
Tackles Ken Casner of Baylor, Bob Griffin of Arkansas,
and Doug Conaway of TCU were mentioned for the two de- -
fensive tackle slots.
The other linebacker position was between June Davis
of Texas and Dick Hightower of SMU while the other half
back slot was between Billy Burkhalter of Rice and Yal Joe
Walker of SMU.
As a result of the recent cage scandals it seems only
natural that the SWC coaches in their winter season changed
the basketball limits more than anything else.
Spring practice in basketball was set at 18 days within
a 21 calendar day period. Spring practice in basketball had
not had any previous limits.
The committee also limited the basketball schedule to
20 games instead of 24 and banned fall practice before No
vember 10 instead of October 15 as in the past.
No games can be scheduled prior to December 10, giv r
ing SWC schools a month to hold fall practice.
No action was taken on bowl games, but spring football
practice was lowered to 18 days instead of 25 within a 25-
day span instead of a 35-day span.
Walter Hill, A&M end, who was put out of action for
the season after four minutes in the Aggies first game of
the year with U.C.L.A. has to consider that a whole season
the Committee decided.
Melvin Fowler of TCU was granted permission not to
have a year of eligibility taken from him last year after
he was put out for the season in TCU’s first game last
season.
A comparison between the TCU cage team sparked by
George McLeod and the Aggie quintet can be made after
the Aggies meet Manhattan College in Madison Square Gar
den, Thursday night.
The New York Cagers were victorious over the SWC
team 65-52, but McLeod was the high point man in the game
with 21 points.
Players from all over the country sent in votes to the
Chicago Tribune for its all-player selection for All-American.
More than 18,000 votes were received.
Four players from the SWC were represented on the of
fensive and defensive platoons with two on each platoon.
Bill Howton of Rice and Dick Hightower of SMU were
chosen for the offensive unit while Keith Flowers of SMU and
Bobby Dillon of Texas w'ere on the defensive unit.
The players must think Vito Parilli of Kentucky a better
quarterback than Larry Isbell or the Baylor team didn’t send
- in enough votes for their fair haired boy.
A&M players will play in three bowl games which is
more than the TCU or Baylor players can say.
Glenn Lippman will play in the East West Shrine game
and Billy Tidwell will be a busy man playing in the North
and South Bowl game in Miami, Florida on Christmas night
and the Senior Bowl at Mobile, Alabama on January 5.
Somebody’s gonna have trouble when these two boys
start running through the line, we bet.
Why doesn’t somebody start a freshman bowl game for
freshman? The seniors have their bowl game and only
seniors play in the East-West Shrine game and Blue-Grey
battle.
Since there are so many bowls why not go all the way
and have a Junior Bowl and a Sophomore Bowl. The way
it is now, there is class discrimination. The two platoon
. system is designed to give more players a chance to play—
why not give more players a chance to play in a bowl game?
Texas teams won two out of three bowl games this
weekend as the Tyler Junior College Apaches lost to Pasa-
? dena City College in the Little Rose Bowl, Delmar Junior
College won its game with the Pearl River Junior College
(Mississippi) in the Memorial Bowl, and the Thorndale Red
Raiders defeated Seqoyah of Oklahoma in the Milk Bowl.
Prairie View
Sets Bowl Game
Prairie View A&M College
Panthers will tangle with Ar
kansas State College in the
Prairie View Bowl game on
New Year’s Day in Houston.
The announcement was made by
the Prairie View Athletic officials
and came after problems arose
coriceming several top ranking
Negro elevens in the nation.
Prairie View found the Arkan
sas team one of its toughest op
ponents when it defeated them 20-6
in an earlier regular season game.
The host team, the Panthers
of Prairie View, will enter the
bowl contest with an 8 won and 1
lost record as compared to the
4-2-1 record for Arkansas.
The Prairie View Bowl is the
second oldest New Year’s Day
classic in the nation. It is second
only to the Rose Bowl in Califor
nia. In its 24th year, this annual
classic has brought to the South
west many of the nation’s lead
ing colored football teams.
The Panther’s record in these
games has been 13 wins, eight loss
es and two ties. Their game with
Bishop College last year ended in
a 6-6 deadlock. Coach James Ste
vens’ Panthers are rated third
among the Negro College elevens
in the nation.
Houston’s Buffalo Stadum is tra
ditionally the location for the an
nual Prairie View Bowl.

night.
The Aggies embarked by train
to Houston, where they spent the
night and took a plane from there

Tennessee, Saturday night.
11-Man Traveling Squad
Coach John Floyd will take 11

On last years’ eastern swing, the
A&M cagers played four games
with the highlight being a 45-44

perennial powers in eastern bas
ketball.
They lost the other three to Ok
lahoma City University 39-44, Si
ena 42-56, and Dusquesne 36-73.
The Aggie quintet is still look-
J
ing for their first victory of 1951
basketball season as they suffer
ed their second straight setback
at DeWare Field House, Saturday
night, dropping a 38 to 29 decision
to the University of Houston Cou
gars.
None of the Cadet five could
find the range during the first
quarter as the Cougars led 10 to 4
at the end of this period.
Big Walt Davis, Aggie center
scored three of these .points to
keep the Maroon and White hopes
alive.
The halftime score ws 18 to 8
with Davis having more than half
of the Aggies count with five
points. *
During the second half the Ca
dets accuracy increased with the
Aggies coming within five points
of the Cougars at one time.
With two minutes and 33 seconds
left to play in the third period Le-
Roy Miksch, Farmer forward foul

the Consolidated line for 305 yards
to give Sugarland the Region 6B
championship.
The Tigers held their own until
middway in the initial stanza. Hall
broke the ice with a 79-yard dash
for Sugarland’s first score.
The dam then overflowed as the
Gators rolled up 27 points while
holding the Tigers scoreless.
The Tigers were playing without
the services, of their, key back,
Jerry Leighton who has scored over
120 points for the Consolidated
High School eleven this year.
Leighton, who for several weeks
now has been suffering from a
charlie-horse, was ineffective
against the inspired Sugarland
squad.
Willie Arnold, the team’s second
leading ground gainer and scorer,
was injured and did not return to
action.
Consolidated had their best scor
ing opportunity early in the first
quarter. The Tigers drove inside
the Gator 20 before losing the ball
in downs.
This was the last football game
for seven seniors on the Tiger
team. They are Jerry Leighton,
Gayle Klipple, Thomas Wade, Don-
al Royder, Bobby Smith, George
aid Royder, Bobby Smith, George
