Tuesday, December 11,1951 THE BATTALION Page 3 Back Home Next Tuesday Aggie Five Hopes For Better Results By BOB SELLECK Battalion Sports Editor A&M’s basketball team has started off the season with two losses. The defeats within themselves are not too bad but the manner in which the Cadets have lost is a bad sign. Thus far this year the Aggies have managed to sink only an average of 36 points while holding their opponents to 43 points per game. For a team that specializes in ball control and “sure-shots”, the Cadets are way below par. Despite the early season jitters and pre season nervousness, the Aggie quintet has shown weakness even in the fundamentals of the game. The most glaring fault lies in the con duct of the team on the court. In the excite ment of the North Texas Game, a visiting North Texas lad was deliberately pushed while attempting a crib shot. This was a bad ^ ^ reflection of the Aggies and their basketball ( ^ Selleck team, especially since we were behind. Another incident occurred when another NTSC player was wrestled to the ground by an Aggie lad. This action does not typify Cadet playing of the past. When the pressure was the greatest the A&M five, minus the services of two starters via fouls, fell apart and with it fell their offensive attack. Ags Hesitate in Shooting Another big problem shines out when the players con tinually hesitate to shoot. It looks as if they are not sure whether to pass the ball or take a shot. This split second in decision could mean the difference between two points and no points. The type of ball the Aggies play calls for deliberate style of control but not to the extent of passing up good opportunities to shoot. Perhaps someone’s scared. \ Maybe the road trip will shake loose this blanket of mystery that has covered the Aggie five; we shall see. They play Trinity in DeWare Field House next Tuesday night. Dallas A&M Club Sets Example * \ The Aggie Club of Dallas has sent a letter of congrat ulations to the Baylor Bears and wishing them success in their coming Orange Bowl game on New Year's Day. James Williams, A&M Class of T8, and president, sent the letter in behalf of the Dallas A&M Club to the Baylor co-captains. Williams said in part: “You may know that the Aggies will be pulling for you to win Jan. 1, and we feel con fident that you can and will. Congratulations again to a mighty fine school, Baylor University.” We believe that the Dallas A&M Club has set a good example and we are sure tha the rest of the Southwest will be right behind Dallas in wishing all the luck to the Baylor Bears when they tangle with Geargia Tech. All-SWC Mix-Up An article appeared in a recent issue of the SMU school paper. The Football Digest, a West Coast publication recent ly listed all-conference teams from all over the nation. In their selection for the center post, this publication listed “Meyer, TCU” on the first team. If their information Vis correct, the Frogs will have to forfeit their 1951 title, for Dutch Meyer, present TCU coach, completed his collegiate eligibility many seasons ago. On seeing this selection, SMU Athletic publicity director ^ Lester Jordan commented, “Well, I guess we’ll have to nom inate Dick Hightower for Coach of the Year.” The Meyer referred to was the Aggie regular center, Hugh Meyer. The Big Seven Conference has taken drastic steps to place a ban on all post-season athletic events and have applied new restrictions aimed at removing overemphasis from intercollegiate sports. Action of the Big Seven included elimination of the freshman rules, the reduction of spring practice sessions in football and bas ketball, the reduction of total number of basketball games played, eligibility rules tightened and new barnacles were clamped on recruit ing by coaches and alumni. Eight Lettermen On Tank Squad The Aggie swimming team which finished second in the SWC meet last year will have eight return ing lettermen to form a nucleus. Van Adamson, Don Blundell, Ralph Ellis, Tom Comstock, Don Crawford, John Parnell, Bill Sar gent and Wayne Stricklcr are the returning veterans. Adamson is the conference med ley champion and record holder and also swims on the free style j medley relay. The free style medley relay will I have three out of four men return- ! ing with Blundell, Ellis and Adam- i son. Members of the medley relay team returning are Comstock, Crawford and Ellis. Squad men Carol Jones, Paul Schaffer, and Bobby Johnson, will give the team added strength. Promising sophomores who are working out are, Richy Black, Johnny Broker, Bert Koegal, Carl Maynard, Sherwin Ruben, James Skelton, Paul Wallin, Paul Wot- tring, Marvin Seth and one of last years intramural winners Buddy Burns. Swimming Coach Art Adamson said that if anyone was interested in working out for the swimming team to contact him immediately. Freshman swimmers were also working out, Coach Adamson re ported, he said about 40 freshmen were practicing. “I am very pleased,” 1 Adamson stated, “with the Fish* there are no big names but I think we have something to work with.” Audie Murphy “RED BADGE OF COURAGE” The Aggie starters tonight against Marshall College are “Woody” McDowell, (12) and LeRoy Miksch, (77).

A. U. event every year it has been held, but expect some rough competition from Oklaho ma A&M who edged them out by one point in a team meet held earl ier this year. ■ Texas University is the only other college team besides Okla homa A&M expected to narticipate. A&M will open its first battle of a three-game series on the road against Marshall College of West Virginia. Little is known about the out-of- state school except that they will probably be ready with numerous surprises for the Cadet five. The Aggies have gotten off to a slow start this year, dropping its first two games of the season in DeWare field house. This is the first trip from home for the A&M quintet this year. Probable Starters Probable starters tonight for the Cadets will be Jewell McDowell and Raymond Walker holding the guard posts. Buddy Davis at cen ter with LeRoy Miksch and Don Binford checking the forward spots. McDowell, All-SWC guard, was also, selected on the All-District 6, NCAA squad. He was second Ag gie scorer last year with 317 points in 29 games. McDowell com pletes his eligibility in January. Walker is another senior and holds the distinction of being the shortest player on the team. He stands five feet eight' inches but weighs a stocky 160-pounds. ■ Don Binford, forward, has play ed under Coach Floyd while attend ing high school in Wellington. In the first two games for the Cadets, Binford showed exceptional poise and calmness under pressure. He is expected to aide the Aggie hopes for another victorious season. Davis Tops Ag Scorers Buddy Davis, unanimous choice last season for All-SWC, was the leading scorer for A&M with 352 points in 29 games. Buddy scored 23 points in the first two games of the new season, both times top ping all other Cadet efforts. Bobby Farmer, Don Heft, and Bill Carpenter have helped on the passing side while center Jim Ad dison has shown up good in the middle post. Cadets Play in Garden After the Marshall game A&M will go to Madison Square Garden in New York to tangle with one of the top teams in the nation, Manhattan, With their best team in six years Manhattan has pro mised to give the Cadets lots of trouble. On their return trip the Cadet quintet will stop in Knoxville, Tennessee to take on the Univer sity of Tennessee. USE BATTALION CLASSIFIED ADS TO BUY, SELL, KENT OR TRADE.
