Friday, January 4, 1952 THE BATTALION Page 3 Quintet Leaves I 4^ &«/«*»•< For ’52 Opener By GUS BECKER Battalion Sports Writer Basketball Coach John Floyd and ten members of varsity basketball squad left yesterday evening for Fayetteville, Arkansas, where they meet the Razorbacks for their first conference tilt of the 1952 season. This will be the second meeting of the teams this year, with A&M coming out on top by three points in the first encounter. Arkansas will be minus the ser vices of their starting center, Bil ly (Toar) Hester, who was dropped from the team two days ago. Elkins Probable Replacement Orval Elkins, a six foot five inch forward-center who has re- plsSM Hester in several games wil^Probably start for the tall Hog five. Sophomore center, Ray mond Shaw, has shown up very well this year and might earn a starting berth. Shaw stands an inch taller than Elkins at six foot six inches. Don Binford and LeRoy Miksch, Aggie forwards are nursing in juries, but are expected to start against the Razorback eagers. Askew Says “Inexperienced” Arkansas Coach Presley Askew, labels his team as inexperienced and doesn’t expect to be a con tender for' the conference crown. Gene Lambert, six foot four inch forward and Walter Kearns, a six foot six inch forward give the Hogs an advantage in height. Guards Floyd Sagely, a sopho more standing six feet even and Sammy Smith, the only senior on the team, standing six foot three inches tall round out the Arkan sas quintet, which is the tallest in the conference. Aggies—Ball Control The Aggies will use ball con trol against the Razorbacks, hav ing a considerably smaller team in height. Jewell McDowell and Raymond Walker, guards for the Aggies, stand five foot ten and five foot eight inches respectively. The fact that the Aggies won their game against the Hogs and the loss of Hester make the Cadets a slight favorite in the tilt Satur day night. Hard To Beat Coach Floyd remarked, “Arkan sas is always hard to beat on their home court and the loss of Hester won’t hurt them very much. They have a lot of big boys that can play center.” On their return, the Farmers will stop at Oklahoma City for a game with Oklahoma City Uni versity which was th'e winner of the Aal-College Tournament held in December.

Fish Cagers Seek Revenge Over Victoria The Aggie Freshman cag ers, sporting a one won and one loss record, journey to Victoria tomorrow to seek re venge over the Victoria Jun ior College squad which came out on the long end of a 34-40 score in a game played here earlier in the season.

At center will be Cecil Neely, a six foot four inch lad that has come along fast, scoring fifteen points against Allen Acddemy.

We lived each one of them last year. But now they are scraps of paper. They don’t matter any longer. The days ahead are the ones that count! That has always been the keynote of our Christian religion. One of the greatest of the early Christians expressed it for all time when he wrote: Forgetting those things which are be hind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark—for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (St. Paul in Philip- pians 3:13, 14) Let the churches of our community help us to make this a truly happy New Year .. • That is no seasonal greeting—it is the call to Christian worship and service for this coming year. j /Redmond Idea / ddslale (do.
