Addison Defends
Ag Defense Play
Gangling, net-punishing Gene
Schwinger of Rice Institute, lead
ing Southwest Conference seasonal
scorer, heads the list of players
who have taken the court against
A&M this season, said James Ad
dison, hustling junior center of
the Aggies.
Schwinger has scored 266 points
in 13 games and is threatening to
break the all time conference scor
ing record set by another Rice im
mortal, Bill Henry.
Addison Real Hustler
Addison is probably one of the
most improved players on the Ag
gie five and has earned the re
spect of all with his constant hust
ling. He appeared in only nine
games last year and scored only
seven points. Through the Rice
game, he had scored 56 points and
had played in every game.
The six foot, six Li pan product
was second on the squad in re
bounds with 60, trailing only Le
roy Miksch. He also holds one of
the best free throw records on
the squad, 26 of 38. James has
connected on one third of his field
goal tries, sinking 15 of 45.

’ A UNIVERSAL-INTERNATIONAL PICTURE
Comparing Schwinger with Bay
lor’s John Starkey, leading scorer
in conference play and called the
most improved player in the
league, Addison said, “Schwinger
is a much smoother player than
Starkey, and I think he is a better
all around player.”
Starkey scored 28 points against
the Cadets in Waco but Addison
thinks he will have a much tougher
time Saturday night, with 6 foot
8% inch Roy Martin guarding
him.
A “sinking” defense, in which
the two outside defenders drop
back to clog the middle, should
also confine Starkey’s scoring ef
forts, Addison believes.
Race Wide Open
Asked about the conference title
outlook, James replied, “Just say 1
don’t think Texas will win it. I
hate to choose between Rice and
Baylor because both have good
clubs. TCU has to be considered,
too, after they beat Arkansas in
Fayetteville.” He credits SMU’s
great showing in the conference
tournament, which they won, to
some fine heads-up playing.
“I think we’re going to get
steadier and become a better ball
club,” James said. “We haven’t

Bobby Jackson, David
Bonnen Are Tiger Aces
By JERRY ESTES
Battalion Sports Writer
Two of the reasons for the Con
solidated Tigers success in bas
ketball and football this year are
Bobby Jackson and David Bonnen.
Both boys, who are quiet and
very unassuming about their ath
letic talents, are excellent football
and basketball players. Jackson is
a fine tennis player, while Bon
nen plays baseball with consider
able ability.
Jackson, a 6-4 junior, is the big
offensive punch with 250 points
in 21 games for a 12 point aver
age. He is a good hustler on re
bounds and a fine team man.
All-Tournament Selection
In tourney play this year, Jack-
son has been selected to three all
tournament teams, including the
Sinton tournament which consisted
of all class AA teams with the ex
ception of Consolidated.
Consolidated reached the finals
of this class AA tourney before
losing by three points.
Coach Chafin considers Jackson
one of the finest basketball pro-

MSC Games Today
A school-wide bowling tourna
ment, open to any regularly en
rolled student of Texas A&M, will
be held at the MSC starting today
and running through Wednesday,
Feb. 11.
Sponsored by the MSC bowling
committee, the tournament is held
at the beginning of each school
semester in the hope that the
Texas A&M Bowling Club mem-
bers may contact the very best
bowlers among the students (both
graduate and undergraduate) and
encourage them to become mem
bers of the MSC Bowling Club to
represent the MSC in competition
against other college and univer
sity bowling teams.
Open to All Students
Special invitation is extended to
fish and graduate students to par
ticipate, and the ten students who
bowl the highest scores during
three-line sessions (a total of nine
lines of bowling) will constitute
the two teams to compete in intex - -
collegiate bowling, provided they
become members of the Bowling
Committee (Club) of the MSC.
Team is Flexible
During the course of the semes
ter, club members with the high
est avei’ages will constitute the
Bowling Teams of the bowling
club. A bowler must retain one of
the top ten averages to continue
representation of the club. Initial
semester averages will be based
on the results of this tournament.
A student may join the club

Baseball Players
Will Meet Today
Freshman baseball candidates
and varsity baseball prospects who
have not registered with Baseball
Coach Beau Bell are asked to
meet at 5 o’clock this afternoon on
the south side of DeWare Field
House for a short meeting. Date
for opening drills for both squads

spects he has ever coached. “Jack-
son should make some school a
fine boy,” Chafin said.
Football is also one of Jackson’s
favorite games. He was the only
member of the CHS squad to be
selected for All-Disti'ict honors on
both the offensive and defensive
team. He was selected for an xmd
position.
Jackson is Versatile
As if playing basketball and
football weren’t enough, Jackson
is a good tennis player. Last year,
he teamed with Fred Anderson to
reach the state finals in the double
competition of class AB.
The Tigers ai'e currently tied
with Snook for the district basket
ball lead, both with a 7-1 record.
They meet Snook Feb. 10 in a
game that could easily decide the
championship. “We have at least a
50-50 chance, and 1 think we can
beat them” said Jackson.
Bonxxen Defensive Ace
Bonnen, the 17 yeau- old 5-9 jun
ior, is the spaxkplug and defensive
ace of the team. He has also done
his share of the scoring with 150
points for a 7.1 average.
As Bonnen declined to talk about
himself, Jackson said Bonnen had
been a* source of spirit to the team
all year, and Avas the big factor
in defeating Hempstead, the Tig
er’s bitter rival, in the tournament
finals at’CHS this yeax 1 .
When asked about the team’s
chances agdiinst Snook, Bonnen
just replied, “We are i - eady.”
Snook’s victory over the Tigers
earlier this year canie when thi’ee
of the Consolidated starters were
out with the flu.
Four-Sport Athlete
Fullback is the position Bonnen
holds down on the Tiger football
team. He also is a good baseball
player, playing any infield posi
tion when called upon.
Track also receives its share of
time from Bonnen, who runs any
thing from the dashes to the mile
run.
Consolidated has thi'ee district
games yet to play: Feb. 6, Somer
ville comes to the Tiger gym, Feb.
10 CHS travels to Snook, and Feb.
13 Sharp winds up the season with
a game here.
A QMC Is Grid
Champion by 7-0
A hefty, well-polished A QMC
football team, utilizing precision
ball-handling and sharp line block
ing, marched 75 yards with the
second half kickoff to edge Sq. 6,
7-0, in the Class A grid finals. It
Avas the fifth successive year A
QMC has played in the finals.
The game’s end found Sq 6 lead
ing in penetrations and first
downs, but their great back, Rusty
Coleman, couldn’t get away for
one of his brilliant doAvnfield
scampers.
Closely hounded by defensive
linemen throughout the game,
Coleman came within inches of the
tying touchdown on the game’s
last play. Fading deep into his
oavii end zone, he fired a, 60 yard
pass Avhich was just in front of
its intended receWer.
On the preceding play, a beauti
ful 60 yard pass had been caught
beautifully, putting the ball on the
25 yard line. An illegal use of
hands penalty nullified the play,
hoAvever, costing Sq. 6 a possible
touchdoAyn.
Neither team could rack up
large gains in the first part of the
first half, Avith some stubborn de
fensive line play highlighting the
action.
Late in the first half, Sq. 6
moved the ball to the 2 yard line,
Coleman doing most of the work.
He ran for eight on an attempted
pass after failing to find an open
receiver, then shot a short pass
to Bob Rigney, who bobbed and
weaved for 24 yards to the 15.
Back for another pass, Coleman
appeared to be smothered, but
came out of a swarm of linemen
to dash nine yards for a first
down. He completed a pass up the
middle to the tAvo, then was
SAvarmed under for a six yard loss
on another* pass. A 12 yard loss
on a fumble and an incomplete
