Ags Face Bears
On Ho me Court
By JERRY WIZIG
Sports News Writer
With their lone returning letter-
man leading SWG scoring, the
hustling Baylor Bears invade De-
Ware Field House Saturday night
attempting to spoil the Aggies’
perfect home court record in con
ference play.
Paced by the brilliant John
Starkey, called the most improved
player in the conference by many
of the conference’s sports writers,
the Brains will be out to strength
en their flimsy hold on a part of
the conference title. They are now
deadlocked with TCU with a 4-2
league mark.
The tall and talented Baylor
Cubs meet the Aggie Fish before
the varsity game. John Fortenber
ry and company are expected to
have plenty of trouble with their
opponents. Fortenberry pumped in
28 points against Wharton JC
Tuesday night.
Starkey Sure Shot
The Brains, off on their ball
handling and passing, used sharp
shooting in the clutch and heads-up
play to topple Texas from first
place Tuesday night with a GO-
59 win. Starkey scored 25 points
for a total of 180 points in league
play. He has pumped in 254 points
in 15 games for a 16.9 average in

season play and a 21.G average m
league play.
Murray Bailey, G-2, and Ken
Morgan, five foot 11, will start at
forwards for, Baylor. Both are
sophs. Bailey'led SWC freshman
scoring last year, averaging 19
points per game for one of the
best seasons ever posted by a
Baylor freshman. He scored 17
against Texas, 15 in the first
half. Morgan was an All-Oklaho
ma high school star and was sec
ond to Bailey last year.
Juniors Guard Backcourt
Two juniors, Tommy • Strasbur-
ger and Jim Wieland are the
guards. Both wear glasses and
have good outside shots. Strasbur-
ger scored 10 points against the
Steers and is a fine dribbler. Wie
land is a transfer from University
of Kentucky and was also an all-
state high school player. He is a
fine ball-handler, feeding Starkey
on numerous occasions and is also
dangerous driving for the basket.
The Cadets are expected to put
Roy Martin on Starkey and will
probably employ a “sinking” de
fense. After his sensational show
ing against SMU, Martin will cer
tainly be closely guarded also. If
the Aggies can hit their outside
shots and give Martin a chance to
maneuver in the pivot for his hook
shot, they have an excellent
chance. Their tentative starting
lineup shows four sophs, Martin,
Don Moon, Bob Johnson, and Rod
Pirtle. Leroy Miksrh will be the
other starter.
Bears Share First
The Bruins now must be consid
ered a good bet for the SWC title.
Their never-say-die spirit and
hustle has made up for occasional
lack of smoothness and “cold”
shooting.
Bill Dalton, Joe Don Dickson,
and John Parker are likely to see
action also for Baylor.
Dalton, G-2, is a soph and shoots
left-handed. He has shown promise
of becoming another Ralph John
son. Dickson stands G-S 1 /^ and
might see a lot of play against
Martin. He has held out of play
last year and has shown much im
provement in practice lately. Park
er is co-captain and is one of the
shortest members of the squad at
5- 10.
Three Texas All-Staters will pro
bably start against the Fish. They
are Louis Estes, G-G center from
Orange, and Fred Gottlieb and
Donnis Raines, G-4 forwards from
Waco.
The Cubs took a 58-72 lacing
from the Texas Shorthorns in
their last outing. Jerry Jordan,
6- 4'guard amk forward from Beau
mont, scored 15 points.

Tigers-Som ervil le
Take Court Tonigh i
Florida State-Ags Vie Tonight
Consolidated’s Tig-ers enter the
stretch drive in district basketball
play this weekend holding a tie
with Snook, each having a 7-1
record.
Tonight,, the tough Somerville
team invades Tiger gym for two
games. Tip off time for the “B”
game is set for 7 p. m., and the
“A” game will get under way at 8
p. m.
Saturday night Consolidated
travels to Hempstead for a game.
This is the third match between
these teams this year, with Con
solidated winning both of the pre
vious games.
Feb. 10, CHS goes to Snook for
the game that could easily decide
the district championship. If the
Tigers beat Snook, they should be
a good bet to win as the last two
games are with Milano Feb. 12
who they have beaten twice this
year and Sharp on Feb. 18. Sharp
is on bottom of the district heap
losing all their games so far this
year.
Coach O. V. Chafin is counting
on a win, and the Tiger team says
they are ready. Snook took a 32-
2G victory earlier this year when
three of Consolidated’s starters
were out with the flu.
Bobby Jackson and Joe Moth-
eral, the Tiger scoring aces are
back and ready to go along with
all other members of the squad.
The Aggie tankmen will be out
for revenge over Florida State’s
Seminoles in a dual meet at P.
L. Downs Natatorium tonight at
7:30 p. m.
Florida defeated the Aggies in
a meet last year, and the Cadets
will try to reverse the decision this
time.
Dickie Weick, the sophomore
backstroke artist is being count
ed in by coach Art Adamson
to bring in the first place points
in his event.
Soph—Big Star
The Seminoles will also count
heavily upon a soph, freestyler
Charles Biersborn. Biersborn is an
outstanding swimmer from Chi
cago, Ill.
Rickey Black, and Wayne Strick-
ler will round out the trio compet
ing in the backstroke for A&M.
Five sprinters will compete for
the Aggies, led by John Speich
and Jimmie Burns.
John Beutelschies and Franklin
Gajewski will handle the long dis
tance swimming. This is the lat-
ters first year of varsity compe
tition.
Diving activities for the Maroon
and White will be carried on by
John Cameron, junior, and John
Malcolm, senior, who is swimming
on the squad for the first time.
The individual medley will be
handled by Weick, Jimmy Burns,
and Don Crawford.
