TEXAS A&M (49) ARIZONA (061 A&M’s sophomore cagers dropped two quick games to * knock themselves completely out of the Southwest Conference Basketball Tournament in Dallas. The Cadet’s second straight loss was suffered at the hands of Arizona 66-49, yesterday afternoon. Bob Johnson, sophomore A&M guard led all scorers with 21 points. Dunlap topped the Wildcat scorers with 12 points. Roun tree and Kemmries scored 11 each for the winners also. In their opening game A&M lost to the busy B’s of SMU —Art Barnes and Richard Bryant. This pair of slick Mus tangs led SMU to a 57 to 35 win+ — over the Aggies. Barnes roped in 19 points and Bryant 16 as the Pollies came from behind in the opening minutes of play and pulled to a 29 to 16 half-time lead. Don Binford scored 10 points for the Cadets. Can’t Hit The Aggies’ inability to hit— from near or afar—made the game a ragged, one sided affair that did little to excite the estimated 2,500 persons watching. The victory sent the Mustangs into the semifinals of the tourney along with Rice and Baylor. The amazing Mustangs stopped Arkan sas 65 to 62 in a full-dressed ^ thriller, while Rice defeated Bay lor 65 to 56 to roar into the finals of the tournament scheduled for 9 tonight. Rice, with the gifted Gene Schwinger ramming in 20 points, won in fairly easy fashion over the fighting Bears. Only in the third period did Baylor threaten )nd then because of too many Rice louls. Rice led 15-7 at the end of the fii'st period and 39-27 at the half. The Owls maintained a five to nine-point lead most of the time and drew away easily in the last minutes. The Owls controlled the ball and were deadly on the free-throw line. Murray Bailey was the lead- t ing light for Baylor scoring 13 points and playing a fine defens ive game. TCU handed the Texas Long- * horns their fifth straight basket ball loss Monday as the Horned Frogs won their consolation round game.

Working in conjunction with the University of Texas, Univer sity of Houston, Bryan Air Force Base, and Allen Academy, the Ca dets of the Soccer club met re cently and formed the league, had it approved, and set up a trial schedule. A total of about 21 games will be played this year between the squads, and efforts are being made to extend this number. Transpartation is the biggest problem confronting the A&M group, although the team has al ready played three games this season. Most members of the five teams in the league are foreign students from such countries such as Spain, France, Norway, India, Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Arabia, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, and Central Am erica. Sponsor of the Aggie team is Paul M. Andrews of the PE De partment. The members of the first Aggie soccer team ever to compete in a scheduled league are: Name Home Fernandez Lima, Peru Cunningham, P.

(AP Photo) Scores First TD Graves In 28-7 Leads Win MONTGOMERY, Ala., Dec. 29— •A*)—Dixie All-Stars led by the brilliant signal - calling of Ray Graves of A&M, and the plunging of Fullback Leroy LaBat of LSU punched the Yankees full of holes Saturday and won the annual Blue- Gray football game, 28 to 7. It was the Itenth victory | "or the, South in | fourteen games and it gave the ; crowd of 22,000 U the kind of wide ’open gridiron ]contest the cus- t turners love. C | The Yankee j passing team of Ted Marchibro- G raves da of Detroit and Lou D’Achille of Indiana was ineffective much of the time against the tight defense of the Confederate secondary. But Marchibroda, the nation’s No. 1 distance gainer with a total of 1,813 yards during the regular season, was the only really danger ous weapon the Blues had. Passing Score Harlfback Earl Hcrsho of West Chester, Pa., caught a 13-yard toss and almost fell, but stumbled over the goal for the North’s only score in the third period. Bill Leonard of Penn State made the extra point. Graves accounted for one of t^ South’s four touchdowns. Lewis Carpenter of Arkansas got two and LaBat the other.

GA.MK AT A GLANCE Blue Sports Scribe Picks Best, Worst in ’52 NEW YORK, Dec. 30—The best—and a little of the worst —in 1952 sports history: Best Teams.—New York Yankees in baseball. Michigan State in football and United States Olympic track team. Their supe rior class showed all the way. Worst Team. — The Pittsburgh Pirates, who finished 54% games out of first place in a league that hasn’t won a World Series since 1946. Fighter of the Year. — Rocky Marciano, an exciting new heavy weight champion. Story of the Year.—Team duel between the United States and Russia in the Olympic games at Helsinki. Most Disappointing Performance —American tennis at Forest Hills as Aussie teen-agers knocked off Vic Seixas and AiT Larsen, another comparatively young Aussie belted Dick Savitt and still another bag ged the title. Most Disappointing Individual— Bob Feller of the Indians, who had the worst season of his career with nine victories and thirteen de feats after topping twenty the year before. Best Surprise Package. — Wee Bobby Shantz of the Athletics, who won twenty-four and lost only seven. Best Hitter.—Old reliable Stan Musial of the Cardinals, in with his sixth batting crown.
