SWC Basketball
Begins Tonight
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
The Southwest Conference bas
ketball race starts moving tonight
and there’s reason to believe the
league will make better than an
average showing.
Defending champion Texas
should be stronger and certainly it
won’t lack for height. There are
five players soaring 6 feet 7 or
better and there are seven return
ing lettermen.
Texas A&M and Arkansas should
be the strongest competition for
Texas in its desire to again take
the title and thus lengthen its lead
in conference basketball history.
Texas has won more champion
ships in the 46 campaigns than any
other school. The Longhorns show
nine with three ties.
The closest competitor is Arkan
sas, which has figured in as many
championships as Texas although
only winning seven out-right. The
Razorbacks have tied for five.
Next is Texas Christian with
five titles and one tie, followed
closely by Southern Methodist with
four titles and two ties, Rice three
titles and five ties—and the other
championship is held by Oklahoma
A&M, now Oklahoma State. .
Oklahoma A&M was in the con
ference in its early years and in
1925 took the championship.
The league has more tall boys
this year than ever before. But it’s
so common for the giants to be
playing basketball nobody pays
much attention to a fellow these
days unless he’s seven feet.
Well, the conference has its
first seven-footer plus. He’s Lewis
Qualls, who towers 7-1 and could
make Texas A&M into a champion
if he develops properly.
There’s .some doubt that Qualls
will have the proper speed but
Doc Hayes, Southern Methodist
coach, says it should be no worry.
What does a guy that tall need
with speed ? He can just camp
down around the basket and get
all the passes that are thrown
his way, dropping them through
for field goals. Coach Bobby Rog
ers of Texas A&M doesn’t think
it’s quite that simple, however.
Next tallest youngster in the
league is Wayne Clark of Texas,
who is 6-11. There are three play
ers 6-9 and a whole raft of “mid
gets” of 6-6.

Buck Shaw
Talks Head Off
By The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Coach
Buck Shaw said today he is “talk
ing his head off” in efforts to pre
vent a letdown by his Philadelphia
Eagles, who need only a victory
over the St. Louis Cardinals Sun
day to win their first National
Football League Eastern title since
1949.
‘The Cardinals will be tough,”
Shaw said. “They've been improv-
ing) right along. We’re on top and
everyone is after us. It’s a real
rate race.

Shelby Metcalf
... Fish Coach
By LARRY SMITH
This year’s crop of Fish basket-
bailers have been termed a better
offensive team than last year and
their overall speed is better, even
though they are not as good on
the boards according to Fish Coach
Shelby Metcalf.
Coach Metcalf still doesn’t know
how his boys will react to the col
lege basketball pressures since
they have yet to play a game.
This is Metcalf’s main worry as
the Fish’s first game is about one
week away.
The eleven man Fish squad is
paced by 6-IV2 guard Bennie Len
nox, a two-time all-stater from
Clear Creek. Lennox, who is con
sidered a tremendous shooter and
passer, scored more points in high
school than Wilt Chamberlain.
Forward Cecil Ferguson,, 6-4,
175, from Houston Smiley, if the
fastest man on the Fish team. Fer
guson is a fine driver and has a
good jump shot.
Guard Dave Johnson, 6-1, 165,
from San Antonio Alamo Heights,
is the best defensive man on the
squad. He also is an outstanding
hustler.
Forward Lynn Merritt, 6-5, 180,
from Robstown, was a AAA all
stater in high school. Merritt is a
good shooter and is the fastest
“gunner in the west” according to
Coach Metcalf.
. Center Bill Robinette, 6-6, 175,
from Port Arthur, is a good shoot
er for his size. Robinette didn’t
play his senior year due to an in
jury, but was all-district his junior
year.
Guard Chuck McGuire, 6-2, 180,
from Dallas Jesuit, was an all
stater in basketball and baseball
in high school. He is a good leader
and has a good outside shot.
Guard Ray Poncho, 6-0, 173,
from Atlanta, was all-district three
times in high school. He is a good
outside shooter.
Guard Jay Bob Robert, 6-0, 165,
from Bryan, is the only hometown
boy on the squad.
Guard David Dealy, 6-0, 165,
from Houston Austin, is one boy
who is improving daily according
to Coach Metcalf.
Forward Morris Schaeffer, 6-5Va,
205, from Fredericksburg, is ^he
biggest boy on the Fish); squad' and
will be needed greatly under the
boards.
The Aggie Fish will play their
first game here Dec. 9.

Will Fine Players
With Bad ‘Scores’
By The Associated Press
DALLAS—Coach Hank Stram,
irate because his Dallas Texans
have lost their last two American
Football League games, says he
will fine $500 any player “who
scores less than 70 per cent in any
of our three remaining games.”
He also hinted that any player
who plays badly in the team’s re
maining games may not be , with
the team next season.
The Texans, who had been with
in striking distance of the cham
pionship of the league’s Western
Division, list to Boston 42-14
and New York 41-35 in its last two
games. They play Houston here
Sunday.
Stram, who made his remarks
to the team in the dressing room
before Tuesday’s practice session,
said 30 per cent of the squad
graded below standard in the game
with New York.
