the season with sad news. Fred

tis while Bryon Andrews, an able
performer at the guard spot, has
fallen to recuperating from a re
cent back sprain.
» Out For a Month
Anderson will be out of actioir

condition is one of those things
that is never determined for sure
as to just how long it will take
to get him back to normal shape.
• The Tigers play a total of twelve
nference games this season. Oth
er members of their conference are
Snook, Milano, Dime Box, Sharp,
and Buckholts.
Coach Chafin,, who directed the
Tigers football squad into the re

members of the football team.
Those two being Joe Motheral
and Andrews.
Long Football Season

letic talents, from the football. turf
to the hardwood of basketball in
clude, Bobby Jackson, Bobby Smith,
David Bonnen, Pinky Cooner, Fred
Anderson, Jimmy Richards, Gale
Klipple and Jerry Leighton.
All of those boys were outstand
ing for the gridders with many of
them receiving district honors for
their exploits on the field.
Some of these players are even
more adapt to the sport of bas
ketball and could come up with an
other sport surprise for Consoli
dated fans.
The names of Leighton, Bonnen,
Klipple . are all very well known
among the football fans of this
section. Leighton led the district
in individual scoring.
Anderson and Bonnen shared
the quarterback duties for the Tig
ers while Klipple added power from
his fullback post.

Cadet Quintet Seeks First Win;
Face Possible Upset by Trinity
By BOB SELLECK
Battalion Sports Editor
The winless Aggies and the up
set-minded Trinity Tigers will
clash tonight in DeWare Field
House in a hardwood battle that
could go either way.
The Cadets, just nome from an
eastern tour that included a trip
to Madison Square Garden, have
improved their offensive attack
despite the fact they have been un
able to nudge the winner’s column.
The Aggie quintet scored over
40 points in each contest and show
ed they were capable of winning
ball games. Trinity is in the ideal
spot, now being the favored role,
could easily slip the Cadets a
stunning upset.
No Luck At Home
A&M’s showing at home has
been bad. Against the University
of Houston, they had trouble scor
ing and in the North Texas*battle,
the Cadets were too confused to
settle down.
The Farmers scoring punch will
est on the height of big center
Buddy Davis, who leads Aggie
scorers with 58 points. Jewell
McDowell, floor leader, is expected
to break lose against Trinity and

SWC Cagers Fail
In Non-Conference
BASED ON AP REPORT
Southwest Conference basketball
teams, so far down in intersectional
play there’s no chance of catching
up, finish the practice grind, ex
cept for the pre-season tournament,
this week.
They play 12 intersectional
games and would have to win them
all to go ahead for the campaign.
Since they play such worthies as
Kansas, Tulane, Nebraska, Vandei’-
bilt and Tennessee, that could
hardly happen.
Last week found them losing 10
of 11 and the record for the sea
son is eight wins and 18 defeats.
There were some bright spots such
as Southern Methodist’s robust
showing against Oklahoma A&M
whom the Mustangs forced into an
overtime before losing 50-45.
SMU was strapped 74-51 in the
first game with Kansas as Clyde
Lovelette made 42 points person
ally, but the second game-found
Kansas able to win by only one
point 58-57.
Texas continued undefeated for
the season but played no inter
sectional games. The Longhorns,
last week whipped East Texas
State 57-49 and Sam Houston State
68-41.
C ect For Christmas!
Texas Christian, which has lost
one game—to' Manhattan—flailed
away at a 67.3 points per contest
clip. The Horned Frogs licked How
ard Payne. 80-45 and Hardin-Sim-
mons 49-37.
A&M’s record is alarming. The
co-champions of the conference
haven’t won one ifrfive starts. Last
xveek they lost to Manhattan 46-40
and to Tennessee 60-52.

Five lettermen have returned to
Trinity to form the nucleus of
what may develop into a winning
combination. These lettermen with
an equal number of squadmen plus
nine candidates from freshmen,
junior college transfers and late
arrivals from the football teani
complete the squad of 19 men.
The Tigers as a whole lack ex
perience and depth. Coach Houston
Wheeler can put a competent start
ing five that could give the Cadets
lots of trouble in the first half.
Of returnees from last year A1
Jessen, forward, had the best rec
ord in 1950-51 with 270 points scor
ed for an average of 14.2 points a
game.
Jack Lutz, forward is next with
247 points, average 9.5. Charlie
Shannon, center, scored 201 points,
averaging 7.6.
No. 1 Guard
Lutz is a senior playing his
fourth year at Trinity. A 3-year
letterman, Jack is an offensive
threat all the time. He can hit
one-handed out from the basket,
likes to drive in and make his lay
up shots.
Around the basket he uses a
variety of shots. Last year he
showed promise as a good floor
man and playmaker.
Bubba Reed, one-year sophomore
letterman, is claimed to be gift
ed with about everything he needs.
He has an exceptionally good eye
for the basket and is improving
all the time.
Physical ability and experience
are his two greatest assets and
will probably be a thorn in the
side of the defensive-minded Ag
gies all night.
Plenty of Forwards
Trinity seems to have more than
its share of forwards. A1 Jenson
is another senior, one-letter and
stands 6’ 4”. He has had two
years of experience with Muhlen
berg College of Pennsylvania plus
an additional year of service ball
at Lackland Air Base.
He has speed, hustle, a variety
of shots, and the uncanny ability
to break away from opponents for
lay-up shots under the basket.
Jenson is also gifted with the
talept of being able to diagnose
what his opponent is likely to do
and takes advantage of it. He av
eraged 14.3 points per game last
year, total 270.
The center post is now being held
by Sharley Shannon. A one-year
letterman and a junior, Shannon is
the tallest man on the squad stand
ing 6’ 5y 2 ”.
A hard worker, Shannon possess
es enough past experience to be
come one of the best shots on the
squad. He scored 201 points last
year and should top that this year.

Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test

“Serving Texas Aggies”
WHENEVER SHEEDY gave a gal the glad ham she turned up
her snoot. Poor Paul took pen and oink and wrote a litter
home: "I’m sty-mied. All the gals think I’m a boar. To get
a date is a pig’s feat!” His mother wrote back: "Even a dull*
lard like you should know enough to borrow his room
mate’s Wildroot Cream-Oil! It’s non-alcoholic. Contain?
soothing Lanolin. Removes loose, ugly dandruff. Helps you
pass the Finger-Nail Test. Makes your hair look neat and
well-groomed.” That was the pig-me-up Sheedy needed.
Now he’s imporkant... hogs and kisses all the girls. Better
try Wildroot Cream-Oil yourself. Get it at your favorite
drug or toilet goods counter—and ask for professional
applications at your barber chop!

his nimble-minded nutcracker almost
tumbled for those tricky cigarette mildness tests.
But he worked himself out of a tight spot when
he suddenly realized that cigarette mildness
just can’t be judged by a mere puff or one single
sniff. Smokers everywhere have reached this
conclusion—there’s just one real way to prove the
flavor and mildness of a cigarette.
It’s ihe sensible test . . . the 30-Dqy Camel
Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try
Camels as your steady smoke—on a pack-aftcr-pack,
day-aftcr-day basis. No snap judgments. Once
you’ve enjoyed Camels for 30 days in your
“T-Zone” (T for Throat, T for Taste),
you’ll see why ..,
