Thursday, February 21, 1952 THF BATTALION Page f$ swc L^dfer | Ags Clash with Longhorns For 93rd Time Sa turdayNite A&M and the University of Tex as will continue their long ex tending athletic rivalry on the bas ketball court in DeWare Field House Saturday night. Although the outcome of the game will have little effect on the final standings in the conference, a capacity crowd is expected to witness the battle. The Cadets have been up and down all year as far as winning games is concerned but never have let down in hustle and effort. After losing five straight games, four of them in the conference, the Aggies bounced back to lash SMU 61-47 for their most lop sided win of the season. i Tuesday night the Cadet five fell before the league leading TCU Frogs. Saturday’s night clash should catch the Aggies on the “up” of their unsteady path. Davis Nears End Of Athletic Career Buddy Davis Center The top scorer in the confer ence, Davis poses as the great est threat to the visiting Long horns Saturday night in the final meeting! of these two teams for this year. TODAY thru SATURDAY —Feature Starts— 1:30 - 3:12 - 4:54 - 6:36 8:18 - 10:00 \ COLUMBIA PICTURE with PATRICIA MEDINA NEWS — CARTOON More than 2,200 points ago A&M’s talented center Buddy Dav is started his brilliant basketball career. Now the lanky center is perched on top of the SWC scoring ladder. Davis added 12 points last night against TCU to bring his confer ence total to 155 points. Just last week, Davis added to his many honors by putting on a sensational show of marksmanship and defense in scoring 25 points against SMU and dominating the rebound control. This is the final semester of college basketball for the giant center, who stands just less than 6 ft. 9 in. And for a eager who also had to fight polio as a child, he has established himself firmly "*"as one of the top players in the southwest. High School Record When Walter entered A&M in September, 1948, he brought an enviable high school record. In his senior year he tallied 648 points in 21 contests to bring his four-year total to more than 1200 counters. He didn’t adhere strictly to bas ketball either in his high school career. He was an outstanding track, baseball and football star, but most of the hometown folks remember him for his performan ces on the hardwood. Davis’ greatest attribute is his height, and he uses it to good ad vantage on tip-ins. Probably his next greatest talent is his ability to pivot and ,l}i^ _ the basket as he fades toward either corner 1 of the court.

This season, as he has already started to do, should add merits to his basketball and high jump ing records. As a college freshman, “Buddy led the Aggie Fish with 162 points in 12 games. As a sophmore he netted 93 field goals and 51 free throws for 237 points and had the dubious honors of leading the nation in number of fouls, collect ing 101 in 24 games. All-Around Player Thought of mostly as an offen sive star, Buddy also is a quite capable defensive standout. Last year he held the individual high scorer of the conference to a mere two field goals and two free throws while Davis, himself, tallied 11 points. So far this year, Davis has a season total of 316 points. His con ference total is 155, and with three games left on the Aggie schedule Davis may be able to break his own record of 352 points scored last year.

James Dowies, Texas’ leading scorer, ranks fourth in the con ference with 124 points. He has tossed in 44 field goals and 36 free throws. Dowies is followed closely by the University’s scrappy little guard, George Scaling who has contri buted 112 points to the scoring column. A comparatively newcomer to the TU quintet was Leon Black who entered the TCU game in the second quarter to replace Scaling and play the rest of the game. Center Don Klein played well for Longhorns until forced to re tire because of too many fouls. His absence robbed the TU team of most of their floor strength. The Cadets are expected to be at full strength with Buddy Davis, the leading scorer in the confei’- ence, Don Binford, Woody Walk er, Don Heft, LeRoy Miksch and Eddie Houser all slated to see plen ty of action. In a preliminary gain the Ag gie fish will play host to the Texas Shorthorns.
