Buddy Davis Signs
Basketball Contracl
Stringbean Walt (Buddy) Davis,
the Olympic high jump champ and
holder of the world record, ap
parently will not be the first
human to jump seven feet. He has
signed a contract with the Phila
delphia Warriors of the National
Basketball Association.
Davis, 6 feet 8V2, set the present
world mark of 6 feet 11(4 inches
and took first place at the 1952
Olympic Games in Helsinki, Fin. A
7 feet plus jump at the 1952 South
west Conference meet was shaved
because of an uneven spot in the
approach area.
While at A&M, Davis was also
one of the top basketball players in
the loop. He scored 952 points in
his three years career, including
363 in the ’51 - ’52 season.

10 Four Year Men Each
Only 10 seniors will be on each
squad Saturday night in Lexington
when the Aggies face the Uni
versity of Kentucky Wildcats in
the football season opener. Four
are slated to start for the Aggies,
while Kentucky may give the call
to several more.
Don Ellis, quarterback; Connie
Magouirk, left halfback; Durwood
Scott, right tackle and Eric Miller,
left end, are beginning their last
year of eligibility at A&M. Ken

Humble Begins 20th Year
Of SWC Grid Broadcasts
Southwest Conference football
games will be brought into the liv
ing rooms of Texas fans via radio
this season for the 20th consecutive
year by Humble Oil and Refining
Company.
A full schedule of Conference
games plus all intersectional games
played by Conference schools will
be broadcast over networks com
prising 58 Texas radio stations.
Forty-five games in which con
ference schools appear will be
heard on the radio. Schedules are
so arranged that fans have a choice
of several different broadcasts
each weekend.
West Texas will be able to fol
low Texas Tech games over a net
work of West Texas stations in
other Humble broadcasts.
Kick-off of the conference broad
casts will be Saturday, when Bay
lor faces California, Rice plays
Florida, A&M opposes Kentucky,
TCU battles Kansas, and Texas
faces LSU.
Kern Tips of Houston, well-
known play-by-play announcer who
has handled Humble’s Conference
broadcasts for the last 18 years,
will head the announcing staff. On
the staff are such familiar sports-
lasters as Yes Box of Dallas, and
John Ferguson.
Supplementing the football
broadcasts will be a 30-minute TV
program on Monday and Tuesday
nights. The program, which re
places “Texas in Review” during
the football season, will show high
lights of the preceding Saturday’s
games.
Tips, who knows conference
teams and style of play, will com
ment on the highlight plays. He
will explain how the interesting
plays came about.
The football highlights program
will be telecast on Monday nights
over WBAP-TV, Ft. Worth; KR
LD-TV, Dallas; KPRC-TV, Hous
ton; KWFT-TV, Wichita Falls; and
KRBC-TV, Abilene.
On Tuesdays it can be seen on
KTBC-TV, Austin; WOAI-TV, San
Antonio; XELD-TV, Brownsville;
K DUB-TV, Lubbock; and KTXL-
TV, San Angelo.
many as eight seniors to start
Saturday’s game.
Co-captains Ray Correll, left
guard, and Tommy Adkins, center,
will start. Probable starters in
clude Tom Harper, left tackle; Jim
Proffitt, right end; Steve Meiling-
er, left halfback; Joe Platt, right
halfback; Tom Pillion, fullback and
Herb Hunt, quarterback.
Rounding out the Aggie starters
will be Don Kachtik, fullback; Joe
Boring, right halfback; Sidney
Theriot, left guard; Marvin Tate,
right guard; Fred Broussard, cen
ter; Lawrence Winkler, left tackle
and Bennie Sinclair, right end.
Although the Wildcats are gen
erally rated at the bottom half of
the Southeastern Conference in
pre - season ratings, they could
easily be one of the surprises of
that league.
The reason ? Four seniors re
garded as being among the best
gridsters in the South. They are
Meilinger, Profitt, Correll and Ad
kins. All are two year lettermen.
Meilinger is the boy who does
anything and everything well. A
220 pounder, he played end, quart
erback, halfback, defensive half,
safety and handled the punting
duties last year. The veteran rush
ed for 382 yards and passed for
127. He caught 16 passes for 326
yards and six touchdowns.
Against Miami Meilinger was
switched to quarterback, the first
time he had ever played the posi-

tion. He ran for two touchdowns,
set up another with a 49 yard pass,
and scored again on a pass, this
time as an end.
Proffitt, 6 feet 2, 205, is a very
slick pass receiver and a solid de
fensive player. A home-town boy,
he caught four passes for 77
yards in 1952.
Correll, 6 feet 1, 205, made the
all-time Cotton Bowl team as a
sophomore. A defensive specialist,
he has the ability to make a great
full-time performer.
Adkins, 6 feet 1, 197, must also
make the shift to one platoon ball.
He was one of 1952’s finer line
backers and also has a world of
native ability. One platoon play
won’t bother this boy.
In the last five seasons, Wildcat
football teams have won 38 games,
lost 15 and tied four.
