Friday, January 18, 1952 THE BATTALION Page 3 Yeager, Topperwine Star A Quartermaster Wins Championship Freshmen Basketballers Top Aggie Guard By JOE BLANCHETTE Battalion Intramurals Writer With able assistance from Dale Topperwine, Bud Yeager was the whole show yesterday afternoon as the footballers of A QMC squelched A Infantry in the finals of Intramural Football, 19-0. Infantry Passes A Infantry took the opening kickoff from the supplymen and returned it to their own 30. Don Morris, Infantry signal caller, im mediately called for the spread for mation and opened up with the vaunted passing attack the Infan try has utilized in reaching the « ials. His first aerial sailed in- ^iplete but the second passing tempt was intercepted by Mitch ell of the QMC. On the first QMC play of the afternoon June Clark sent Topper- wine up the middle to the Infan try 25. Again Topperwine took the pigskin and drove to the 10. On the third play, Topperwine knifed off tackle to the seven. On the following play the sup plymen racked up their first TD as Yeager circled right end. The identical play also netted the event ual winners the extra point. As the half approached and the QMC owned the ball on the Infan try 20 Yeager banged over the center of the Infantry line and raced the distance to the goal line. The point try failed on an attempt ed pitchout and and at the half the QMC led, 13-0, Midway of the final half, Yeager drove over the line and broke into the clear for a 25 yard touchdown run after Clark had piloted the supplymen to the TD from the QMC % The passing combination of Don Morris to Hud Hudspeth never generated much steam 4 as Morris was repeatedly smothered in his own backfield by the fast charg ing QMC line speadheaded by Har vey Helms and Dwight King.

LAST TIMES TODAY “Jim Thorpe, All-American” SATURDAY “The Sun Sets at Dawn” —with— SALLY PARR PHILIP SHAWN SATURDAY PREVUE SUNDAY & MONDAY Holder McDowell To Play Last Aggie Game By ED HOLDER Battalion Sports Writer Jewell McDowell, one of A&M’s greatest guards, will play his last game for the Texas Aggies tonight. A more colorful career than Jewell has enjoyed would be hard to find. He is one of the. last four-year varsity bas ketballers to graduate. As a sophomore, junior, and again last year, he made All-SWC guard. Jewell was most valuable player for the 1950 Aggie squad, and was named hon orary captain last year when the Aggies broke into the title for the first time since 1923. For the past four years, he. has worried the top scorers of the opponents. Last year when Coach Floyd stepped into the coaching spot for the Cadets, Jewell was number one man in the new mentor’s type of play. Floyd played defensive ball, and if ever there was a defensive man who could put the skids un der big name boys, he was Jewell. Some games last year hinged on the sure-shot eye of Jewell in the last few minutes of play. Several times he would freeze the ball, dribbling in and out of the other team, and just before the time ran out, sink one from near mid-court to beat the other squad one or two points. He has also worried many a fan by seeming not to know how little time was left, and then just before the horn blew, stepping away from his would-be-guard with the greatest f>f ease, and firing the final game-winning point. Here is ope athlete who didn’t leave A&M for another school. In fact, Jewell turned down an offer from the Uni versity of Texas and came to play for the Aggies. He played basketball for Amarillo till the 1947 season ended. He then went to Austin and enrolled in Stephen F. Austin High School To the astonishment of several University coaches Jewell left the capital and moved to Bryan to finish his high school train ing. And shortly thereafter he enrolled in A&M. Head Basketball coach in 1949 when Jewell began his career was Marty Karow. Jewell didn’t play on any freshman team. Instead Karow put him on the varsity his first year at Aggieland. The flashy little guard played in six varsity games that year, and scored a total of 62 points with such experienced men as Slater Martin of Texas and Bill DeWitt of Baylor guarding him. One of these men, Martin, found McDowell to be more than a match for him. Jewell and Martin clashed twice, both times putting on a show of defensive prowness for the fans. In the two men’s first game, they each scored nine points. And in the second, Martin edged Jewell with only a three point margin. Both these scores were well under Martin’s average. Jewell ranks Martin as one of the best players he has come up against. In fact, he has modeled much of his play ing style after that of the University star. The Aggies mimber ope guard has played 75 games for the Cadets. Out of these 75 games, he has fouled out only three times. Two of these times were in 1950, and one was against Oklahoma University this year. And there is p boy down at Texas who should feel very honored. Frank Woipack is the only man in Jewell’s many games of basketball who has held him scoreless. It happened in the final game of the 1950-51 season (See JEWELL, Page 4) Less than 120 miles southwest of Bordeaux are the famous re sort towns of the Basque coast, Biarritz and St. Jean de Luz.

M. \A I iv/bj NOW SHOWING Gary Cooper Coaches Resign From Giant Staff By ASSOCIATED PRESS The New York Giants apnounc- ed simultaneously the resigning of their three coaches, an item of news about as startling as a revela tion that the Yankees again would compete in the American League. And in the world series, for that matter. In fact, the only real news would have been if one of them had' not been resigned, as manager Leo Du- rocher probably woulld have paid their salaries out of his own pock et if necessary to keep them. Superstitious The Giant skipper is a super stitious guy, as anyone who has watched his mannerisms on the field readily will realize. You can make book that when he takes over the third-base coaching role at the start of a game he will first pick up a glove, walk over and kick the bag, then methodically erase with his toe every vestige of the whitewash marking the box. That we would break up a win ning combination is unthinkable. Here was a team, highly touted in pre-season calculations, which opened with a prolonged losing streak which ordinarily would have killed the pennant chances of any team. Then it pulled itself together, bolstered by the steady and, strangely, quiet faith of Durocher and began a faltering, stumbling advance. Through May, June and July the team fought doggedly, but it wasn’t able to gain much ground, and en tering August you could have got almost any price that the lit tle band of polo grounders wouldn’t be within waving distance when the pennant was clinched. By the Dodgers, of course. DANCE CARGILL’S SKATING RINK Bryan, Texas — Music By — HANK THOMPSON and his BRAZOS VALLEY BOYS Tues., Jan. 22, 9 p.m. Atlm.—$1.25 Per Person Defense is your job, too!
