Conference Normal As
TCI! First To Fall
In SWC Scramble
By BOB SELLECK
Battalion Sports Editor
The Southwest Conference has returned to normal!
Less than a week ago the Texas Christian Horned Frogs
were sitting on top of the Southwest Conference without an
apparent worry in the world.
TCU had won four straight and the con
ference had yet to be initiated with its first
upset of the new year. Then it happened Sat
urday night.
Arkansas broke the ice by cutting down
the still dazed Christians 56-54, winning in
the final 10 seconds. This was only Arkan
sas’ second win in five attempts.
Texas, with the assistance of Arkansas,
climbed to the top of the unsteady SWC lad
der, balancing in the number one position
with TCU.
Selleck A&M, losing to Texas, dropped into a tie
for third and fourth place with SMU, recent winners over
£ e Baylor Bears.
Wednesday night the Aggies tackle TCU in one of the
most important games of the week. The Cadets will have the
advantage of being on their home court. Both squads still
licking fresh wounds of defeat will be battling hard for this
all-important victory. The Frogs will be favored.
A Big “If”
If the Aggies could slip by TCU Wednesday, and Baylor
could whip Texas Tuesday night, the conference would be
thrown into a three-way tie. That is the way the season endqd
last year.
It figures out on paper easy enough and we imagine that
Coach Floyd would like for it to work out on the court the
same way.
Olympic Hopefuls
As soon as track season rolls around the United States
will be forced to face problems of finding a top notch track
.team to represent this country in Olympic Games.
A&M wall offer two strong possibilities for the U. S.
track team. Big Darrow Hooper, last year’s winner of the
SWC shot put and discus titles, is probably the brightest
, hope. Hooper has sent the shot 54 feet 7% inches and has
hurled th ediscus 162 feet 8^4 inches.
The present Olympic Record in the 16-lb. shot is 56 feet
2 inches held by Wilbur Thompson of the United States. The
discus record is 173 feet 2 inches was set by Adolfo Consol-
ini, an Italian, in the London 6ames of 1948.
Another possibility is A&M’s basketball star, Buddy
Davis, who is also a good high jumper. Last year the 6 feet
8 inch lad leaped 6 feet 9 inches last year.
Texans Need Texans
It has been reported that the newly acquired Dallas Texans, pro
fessional football team that will replace the New York Yanks are mov
ing into position for some possible trading and shifting of players.
It has been said that the Chicago Cardinals’ head coach, Joe Ku-
harich, is interested in getting one of his former University of San
Francisco stars. Gino Marchetti, 225-pound tackle, away from Dallas,
which drafted him.
The Cardinal coach has good trading material that might appeal
to the Texans in some of their draftees. They are Glenn Lippman, the
great little Aggie halfback; Sam Moses, Aggie tackle; John Hancock,
Baylor; just to mention a few.
Jim Knox
Forward
A southpaw, Knox, is one of the
TCU players who adds bench
strength to the Froggie team.
Knox has won two varsity letters
for the purple and white quin
tet which gives the team added
experience.

have played basketball in far off
places, but at least they’re giving
it a good try.
The Clowns, just back from a
South America tour where they
compiled 45 straight victories, now
are touring New York State and
New England. It’s a young team
with two campaigns under its
belt.
ReccBtly they put on such a dis
play of ball handling wizardry in
Boston’s Garden that President
Walter Brown invited them back
for another date.
Clown owner-coach Charley Dav
idson has lined up a set of dates
in the mid-west and late in Jan
uary he’ll take his Clowns to the
coast to tour that section. Plans
are being formed for a spring trip
to Hawaii.
When the Clowns recently won
a game at Dunkirk, N. Y., it
marked their 61st victory in a row.
One of the features of the team
is the half-time show put on by
one Richard King, who is better
known as King Tut. He has per
formed in some 300 baseball parks
throughout the country and is
just as adept on the basketball
court.
Most of the Broadway Clowns

Boy) Maddox comes from Phila

Track season moves in soon and
the southwest has some strong
prospects for the U. S. Olympics
team. The top hope is Darrow
Hooper, A&M’s great weightman
who as a sophomore pitched the
shot 54 feet 7% inches and the dis
cus 162 feet S 1 ^ inches.
Leading college track coaches of
the country say the 220-pound, 6-
feet-3 Hooper has the finest coor
dination of any weight man in. the
World except Jim Fuchs, the cur
rent record-holder who has shov
ed the 16-pound ball out 58 feet
10% inches.
Hooper has four feet three in
ches to go to equal Fuchs but
that’s about the way big Darrow
improves each year. He started
with around 50 feet last season
and by, the ’time the Southwest
Conference meet had added more
than four feet.
Hooper Has Opportunity
Anyway, he’s going to have a
great opportunity to climb to the
Olympics team. He’s in 10 meets
this year, in addition to the Na
tional Collegiate where he will be
defending champion in the shot.
Hooper’s meets are the Texas
Relays April 4-5, the Kansas Re
lays April 19 and a triangular meet
at Los Angeles April 25 between
Texas, A&M and Southern Califor
nia.
Other stars back are Walt Davis,
A&M’s tremendous high jumper

Over Aggies Tomorrow
By GUS BECKER
Battalion Sports Writer
If the Aggie basketball team can
slip by TCU tomorrow night, they
will tie the Horned Frogs for sec
ond position in the SWC Cage title
and have an outside shot for a
phare of the crown.
Rivalry between the cagers
started in 1915 and since that time
the Farmers have Won 32 while
the Horned Frogs have taken 31.
A win by the Froggies could even
up the series at 32 all.
TCU has an impressive 14-3
won-lost record for the season,
while the Cadets have scrapped
through with six wins and 10 de
feats.
Won Four Straight
In conference play the purple and
white' quintet won four straight
tjien dropped before the Arkansas
five. The Aggies have three wins
against two losses in conference
play.
Both teams have played Texas,
Arkansas and SMU, but corUparing
the scores it is difficult to deter
mine how the game will turn out.
Against Texas, TCU won While
the Aggies lost, against the Razor-
backs, TCU lost while the Aggies
won and against SMU, TCU won
while the Aggies lost.
At the SWC Basketball tourna
ment in Dallas, the Homed Frogs
stomped the Cadets in the final
65-35, but two Farmer starters
were out of the game.
Miksch and Binford Out
LeRoy Miksch and Don Binford,
starting forwards for the Maroon
and White cagers were unable to
start the game because of injuries.
The loss of Miksch hindered the
Aggie squad, as the TCU lads
controlled the backboards.
With Miksch back in the lineup
it will be a different story as far
as rebounds are concerned. (
Binford’s leg which has bother
ed him most of the seasdh, is im
proving rapidly and he may see a
lot of action in the games to come.
Starters for TCU will probably
be Harvey Fromme and Ted Rey- 1
nolds at forwards; John Ethridge
and Bryan Kilpatrick at guards;
arid George McLeod at center.
For A&M, basketball coach, John
Floyd will probably start, Miksch
and Eddie Houser at forwards; Don
Heft and Raymond Walker at
guards; and either, Davis or Janies
Addison at Center.
Kilpatrick of the Froggies has
developed into a very good play
er this year and has replaced John
Swaim, who Avas a regular starter
last season.
Reft is the replacement for Jew
ell McDowell, Aggies All-SWC
guard who was lost due to gradu
ation last semester.
The Horned Frogs employ a fast
break type of offense, but against
the ball-control type of game play
ed the Farmers, they will probably
use single post revolving type of
offense game, according to coach
Floyd.
In this system the purple and
White cagers have McLeod in the
pivot post arid use a figure eight
weave or roll to pass the ball to
McLeod.
Frogs Use Long Shots
Some screening is used by the
Froggies but not as much as the
Cadets. The TCU quintet shoots
from the outside frequently, with
McLeod and the two forwards, Rey
nolds and Fromme crashing in to
take the rebounds.
McLeod is the big gun for the
Horned Frogs and is the leading
scorer for the TCU five and the
conference. “If we can hold Mc
Leod to 12 or 14 points we Will
consider it a pretty good job”, re
marked Coach Floyd. “If he scores
around 20 or 25 points, we probab
ly won’t win the game,” he added.
The Froggies will be highly
favored, despite their loss to Ark
ansas, because of McLeod and Rey
nolds who is one of the best for
wards in the conference because
of Ethridge, one of the best out
side man in tfife conference.
Capacity Expected
A capacity crowd is expected for
the game which is labeled the most
important this week, so 500 bleach
er seats have been installed at
the end of DeWare Field House to
take cafe of the overflow.
The contest will get under way
at eight p. m. after a preliminary
game, beginning at 6 p. m. which
wil probably be an intra-squad
game.
