Topping the list is Meadowlark Lemon, who is being touted as the new king of comedy and as great a brand of rib-tickler as any Globetrotter team has ever had. Also moving up with Lemon to the “A” team after careful grooming in the farm system are Roman Turmon, 6-4, from Clark College, in Atlanta, Ga., and Carl Green, 6-4 star from Winston-Salem Teachers College in N. Carolina. The Trotters have a fan tastic 29-year total of 5,395 victories as against 303 losses- a .947 percentage. In the 1955- 56 season the Harlem five won 344 and lost 10—for a .972 won-lost percentage. Typical of the Globetrotters’ antics was the time in Wheatland, Iowa, many years ago when the team was playing in a hayloft. In some rough action, one of the Trotters was pushed out an open door at the end of the loft. He disappeared from sight, falling 25 feet into a huge pile of fertilizer. The player returned to the contest, smelling “just luscious”, as his teammates termed it. Since then he was known as “Luscious Lester.” Proof of the ability of the game’s greatest team is the annual World Series of Basketball, pitting Saperstein’s clever cagers each April in a whirlwind transconti nental series, made by chartered airliners, against the pick of the College All-Americans of the sea son just ended. Seven times this series has been staged, with the Trotters winning every time in increas ingly tough competition. In 1956 attendance records in many cities went by the boards as the finest crop of collegians ever assembled for the series bowed, 11-10, to the Negro wizards in the brilliant coast-to-coast play. Over a 19-day span, 203,615 fans saw the two teams battle in 21 games in 18 different cities, start ing with afternoon and evening tilts the same day in Madison Square Garden.

The Battalion College Station (Brazos County/, Texas Thursday, February 14, 1957 PAGE 3 Great Second Effort Aggies 9 Swisher Finest SWC Soph By JIM CARRELL “The best second effort player I ever coached”, that’s the high praise heaped upon Neil Swisher by Texas A&M Coach Ken Loeffler. “Neil always gives a little more than is asked of him, never lets up and is one of the fiercest competitors I’ve even had on a basketball team.” As a sophomore for the Aggies Swisher has emerged as one of the outstanding second year cagers in the Southwest Conference. Neil is not of ideal basketball build, lacking height and tending to the muscular, but with careful diet, a great desire to play the game and a good enough eye for the basket he : has overcome this handicap. Winning the state cham pionship in high school has p e r It a p s been my greatest thrill in basketball,” says Swisher. Neil and a fine 20 point average paced his Victoria High School teammates to a 29-4 sea son and the 1955 Class AAA state basketball championship. His 44 points led scorers in the last two playoff games and made him a un-J animous choice for the All-State! team. Swisher, a 6-1, 175-pounder, also 1 played football and baseball at Victoria. The Swishers moved to Victoria from West Virginia in time for Neil’s junior year where his dad was a Civil Engineer for (See SWISHER, Page 4) NEIL SWISHER —Photo by John West IT’S BASEBALL TIME ! Rawlings Gloves and Shoes — Bats, Baseballs and Softballs at the STUDENT CO-OP Ordnance Captures ’Mural Cage Title By TOMMY KEITH “A” Ordnance won the Freshman basketball champion ship last night as they came from behind and finally defeated “A” Composite in overtime, 29-26. Calvin Bailey was the leading scorer of the night as he sunk 12 points. Jim Coker was second high for the winners with five. Robert Province and Allen Tachibana each had four and Larry Clark added three. Manual Garcia was high for the losers with 10 points and J. B. Carroll ran a close second with nine. ‘A” Composite went ahead early in the game as the excellent court leadership of J. B. Carroll and the outside shooting of Manual Gar cia paid off. But the second half saw a dif ferent game as “A” Ord. began to dominate the boards and Calvin Bailey began his scoring spree. He produced nine points in the catch-up second half including the two that forced the game into overtime as the regular game ended with the score 26-26. Larry Clark and Robert Pro vince were the heroes of the over time period. “A” Ord. took an early lead on a beautiful, driving lay-up by Clark. Robert Province then added his insurance free throw to take a three point lead that was sufficient as “A” Comp, failed to score in the overtime period. George King and Calvin Brum- mett led “B” Engineers to their league crown in Class “A” foot ball as they defeated White Band 20-6. King caught a pass from Brummett for one TD. Brummett again went over on a six-yard run and King added the final tally on an intercepted pass and 60 yard run. Ed Carter led “A” Signal to a 12-0 win over Sqd. 16. Carter scored the first TD on an inter cepted pass and then passed to Leo Cloud for the final score. In other games, “C” AAA won over Sqd. 18 by a score of 20-13 and “A” Chemical defeated “A”’ Ord. 12-6.
