Steers Drop Ags;
Now Lead SWC
By HUGH PHILLIPUS
Battalion Sports Staff
The Longhorns thoroughly out
classed the Aggies in Austin last
night, as their height and fast
break, along with good accuracy
in their shooting eyes paid off to
sink the Cadets by a 68-49 ver
dict.
SMU upset the Baylor Bears in
Dallas, 66-54, to move the Long
horns into undisputed first place
in the SWC.
Passes and shots were blocked
throughout the night by the taller
Orange and White boys, which
hurt the Aggies. Along with this
and loose ball handling in a few
instances, as well as the Cadets
shooting eyes cold as ice, the Long
horns quickly took the lead and
built upon it the rest of the game.
The closest- the Farmers came
to the TU hoopsters after the
first of the game was five points,
and then only for a few minutes,
as the home town club got off on
another scoring spree.
Texas Hot
As a general picture the Aggies
did not play really a bad brand
of ball, for they got hold of Texas
on one of TU’s hottest nights.
The Longhorns could not do any
thing wrong, while the Cadets
were continually plagued with
fouls and blocked shots and
passes.
Texas checked the Aggies al
most man for man in their end of
the court. Both teams put up a
good defense, but Texas could hit
from anywhere on the court.
The first quarter w^ all Texas’,
as their height and fast break
paid off. The Longhorns jumped
into a quick 8-0 lead by combining
a free throw and fast break field
goal by Saunders. Leroy Miksch
broke the ice for the Cadets with
a. field goal making the score read
3-2.
The Orange and White dumped
in four field goals and fi - ee throws,
While the Farmers’ two field goals
and three gratis tosses ended the
quarter with the score 17-10 in fa
vor of the Longhorns.
The two quintets traded scores
Motheral Leads
Tigers to Win
Joe Motheral scored 19 points
as the A&M Consolidated Tigers
downed Snook 56-50 in Snook to be
almost a cinch for the district
champions.
The Tigers have a record of
nine wins and one loss for the sea
son while Snook in second place
in the district standings has a 7-3
won-loss record. If the Tigers can
slip by Milano Thursday night in
Milano, they will win the Dis
trict.
The Tigers led Snook most of
the game with the halftime score
25-17 in the Tigers favor.
Ruben Nedbelek of Snook was
high point man for the Snook
team with 14 points.
In the “B” game Snook came
from behind to tie the Tigers at
the end of the contest 34-34 and
went on to win 40 to 3.9 in the
overtime period. The Tiger's led
at the half, 18-12 and entered the
final quarter with a 29-32 lead.
Pinky Cooner was high man for
the Tigers with 13 points while
“Tex” Thomas led the winners
with 16 tallies.
Monday the CHS Kittens split
a pair of games with Madison-
vi lie’s Junior high teams, losing
the “A” game 20-14, with Bobby
Potts high man for the Kittens
with seven points and winning the
“B” contest 26 to 5 with Buddy
Holick scoring 12 points for the
Kittens.
The Kittens will enter the Nav-
asota tournament Friday and Sat

First Hole-In-One
Made on Ag Links
Good things come in bunches
for W. Van Thompson of Dallas.
Thompson is manager of the ex
ploration department of the South
ern Union Gas company. While
worrying over a gas well his firm
was drilling in New Mexico,
Thompson enrolled in short course
in Executive Development Course,
a 3-week session for young execu
tives of Southwestern industry at
A&M.
After fretting about the well
during the first week of the course
he joined a golf foursome at the
fine Aggie - course.
Playing with professor, Arch
Burgess of the management en
gineering department; student,
Carlton Hill of Seymour and Al
bert F. Hatcher, division freight
agent for Rock Island Railroad of
Dallas, Thompson approached the
par-3 No. 4 hole at the A&M
course.
Approaching the 150-yard No.
4 hole he stuck a four-iron shot
into the hole for the 2%-year old
course’s first ace. Thompson had a
fine 86 over the long tough course.
He received a telegram about
that well in New Mexico’s San
Juan county.
The well came in as a 35-mil
lion cubic foot producer, Thomp
son had his first hole-in-one and
then settled down to winding up
his training at the executive’s
short course.

Class A Junior
Main cause for abolition of last
semester’s Class B (sophomore)
and Class A (junior and senior)
divisions is that only two team
sports, softball and rifle, are sche
duled for this semester, said Bar
ney Welch, intramural athletic di
rector.
Welch said that he was well sat
isfied with last semester’s set-up
but did not think the quality of
play would be changed this semes
ter.
A wrestling demonstration will
be held in the little gym at 5 p.
m. Thursday and Friday for intra
mural wrestlers. Elementary holds,
break-aways, and scoring proce
dure will be shown. Wrestlers
weighed in Monday and Tuesday,
with matches due to begin next
Tuesday.
