Local basketball fans can look
forward to some kind of new high
scoring record on Feb. 11 when
“Goose” Tatum and Marques
Haynes bring their Harlem Magi
cians to White Coliseum.
Tickets are now on sale at the
Office of Student Activities, second
floor of Goodwin Hall. Admission
to the show, sponsored by Student
Activities, is $1.25 general admis
sion and $2 and $2.50 for reserve.
The Magicians clash with the
New York Olympians, led by 7-1
Bill Spivey, former all-American at
Kentucky whose under-the-basket
hook shots are sure to help run up
a high score.
Tatum is known to cage fans
over the world as the “Clown
Prince” of the com-ts. His comedy
antics, combined with cat-like agil
ity around the forecourt, have been
the despair. of opponents and the
delight of millions of spectators in
15 years of pro-basketball.
Tatum’s ball-hungry sidekick,
Haynes, is billed as the “world’s
greatest dribbler.” Between them,
these two veterans of the pro cir
cuit hold scoring records in every
country they’ve appeared in. Both
are former Harlem Globetrotters’
stars.
Although the Qlympians boast
Spivey, an all-pro center in any
rating, the Magicians will suit-up
two “high towers” of their own in
6-8 Lester Burks and 6-7 % Jerry
Johnson.
Another standout in the Magi
cians’ lineup is Boyd Buie, the only
active one arm player in profes
sional basketball. The 6-3 forward
has nine years of pro experience,
including six seasons with the Har
lem Globetrotters.
Tatum, who boasts an 84-inch
arm spread, is probably basketball’s
most famous individual player.
Once a great first baseman in the
Negro Baseball League, he tinned
to basketball seriously during WW
II.
Tigers, Sealy Tangle
In District Go Friday
By MAURICE OLIAN
CHS Sports Correspondent
A&M Consolidated’s Tigers try
to keep a firm grip on the District
25-A basketball lead here tomorrow
night when they play host to Sealy.
CHS has now won eight of its last
11 games.
Game time for the “B” game
is 7 p.m. in Tiger Gym. The
“A” Game will follow immedi
ately.
By virtue of their breathtaking
win over Katy Tuesday night, 31-
30, the Tigers grabbed undisputed
possession of the district lead, and
now boast a 4-0 mark against dis-
triet teams. Before Tuesday night
CHS and -Katy were tied for the
lead with 3-0 records.
Top scoring threat for the Sealy
five is Ray Schreiner, an all-district
performer last season, and leader
among Sealy point makers so far
this year.
Consolidated downeda,Sealy in its
district opener earlier this season
at Sealy, 54-41, but Tiger Coach
Larry Hayes expects tonight’s
game to be much closer. Sealy
lost by only one point to Katy in
a game last week.
In Tuesday night’s game here
against Katy, the Tigers were be
hind until the start of the fourth
period, as they managed to hit only
four of 22 field goal tries in the
first half. Norman Floeck’s lay-up
with 7:40 to go in the contest gave
the Tigers a 25-24 lead.
Julius Gibbs of Katy sunk a free
throw seconds later to tie the score
at 25-25, but Bobby Potts hit two
charity shots to put CHS out in
front to stay, 27-25.
In the “B” game Consolidated
clipped Katy 28-21 to sweep the
doubleheader.
Hogs, Mustangs
Hold Loop Lead
In Basketball
CHAPEL HILL, N. C.—The Uni
versity of North Carolina yesterday
Arkansas and Southern Metho- unade public the terms of Head
dist, current leaders at the half
way point of the typically-crazy
Southwest Conference basketball
race, are eyeing their crucial meet
ing Feb. 4 at Fayetteville.
The league’s “surprise team”,
after winning only one out of eight
games in December, is Arkansas.
The Porkers lead the SWC title
chase with a perfect 4-0 slate, but
not far behind is SMU, with three
wins and no losses.
Rice, a strong pre-season choice
for the conference cage crown, has
one consolation at least. It has
the loop’s top scorer in sensational
Temple Tucker. Tucker has buck
eted 126 points in SWC action and
400 over the season to lead in both.

Ex-Aggie Grid Star
Signs With Detroit
Conrad (Connie) Magouirk, ex-
Aggie grid star now a U. S. Air
Force First Lieutenant playing for
Eglin Air Force Bage, added to his
1955 grid fortunes this past week 1
end when he inked a professional
football contract with the Detroit
Lions.
Magouirk, who was sought by
several pro clubs, finally agreed to
try his luck with the Lions after
conferring with other club officials
at the Senior Bowl game in Mo
bile, Alabama, recently.
He will receive/a tryout, probably
in July, after his discharge from
the service on May 18.
The two new members were the
only players close to election.
Red Ruffing, a key pitcher on
many New York Yankee pennant
winners, was third with 97 votes.
Then came Ed Rousch, former
Cincinnati hurler, with 91.

est salaried baseball player in
Brooklyn history when he signed

$42,500. The star catcher, rated

not in the majors, got his salary
boost after a remarkable comeback
last year following a dismal 1954
season due to a hand injury.
