Bulldogs And B Squad Invade Memphis Tonight For Cage Battle
Will Attempt To
Avenge Defeat
Tlif Hoiyrr llniliing < lake
to ttle read m<this after
noon He they invade the
yymnaitfuni of the Memphis
Cyclonee for their fourth
jfnme of the season. The
Bullriofo will he out to
avenge the 15-27 defeat
handed them by the Cy-
clones at the Perryton tour-
nament last Saturday morn-
ing. They will also be try-
ing to make this three wins
out of four starts.
The B squad will engage the
Memphis B team. too.
Coach “Tex" Hanna has an-
nounced one change in his start-
ing line-up in an attempt to bol-
ster his squad. James Hughes,
reserve guard who has been com-
ing through in the clutch with
fine play, will replace Milton
Turner, letterman, at guard in
the first five. Otherwise the
starters will remain the same.
The Borger cagers will be
out to stop one Mr. Grimes, the
lad that dealt them so much
misery in the last encounter.
This elongated forward baf-
fled the Borger defense and
poured in 13 counters to lead
scorers in the game at Perry-
ton. However, the Cyclones
boast a well rounded offense
that has more than one "hot-
shot." Their defense is well
polished, too, considering the
fact that they held the Bull-
dogs to 15 points.
Coach Hanna unearthed a new'
scoring ace in Herman Nobles,
red-haired forward, who paced
the Bulldog's in their loss to the
Memphis team by scoring eight
markers. Capt. John Gaddis and
Jack Briggs, usual high scorers,
were well in check by the close
guarding of the Cyclones.
The B squad, under the gui-
dance of Coach Devere Walk-
er. will accompany tha Bull-
dogs on this trek to Memphis.
With more practice and season-
ings under their belt they
should come through their
scrape with The Memphis B's
handily. They showed much
form and ability in defeating
the junior Bucks last week, 39
to 18.
Coach Hanna indicated he
would start this five: forwards:
Briggs and Nobles; center, Gaddis
Guards, Hughes and Rufus Brad-
ford. He will carry reserves: Jack
Grape, Bob Gregory, Milton Tur-
ner, Pat Wiggs, John Pirtle and
Hugh Cypher.
Coach Walker will probably
start: forwards. Wayne Self, and
Bill Webber: center. Gene Kel-
let; guards. Bob Ayler and Rus-
sell Megert. He will also carry
about five reserves.
Willis Ray, student manager,
will accompany the squads.

By Leland Gourley
LAWTON, Okla., Dec. 16
— (AP) — Cameron Agri-
cultural College has a pret-
ty big athletic program for
a one-man coaching staff
hut that doesn’t baffle ath-
letic director Jess Thomp-
son — he just calls on the
Mrs.
If, as often happens, he has a
basketball game and a boxing
match conflicting, Thompson tak-
es the boxers — they’re his pride
and joy — and lets his wife, a
one-time basketballer herself,
take the cagers.
Mrs. Thompson, who was Oma
Carter before her manage, gained
some repute as a collegiate and
professional basketball player in
the southwest.
“I never worry when Oma goes
with the basketball team,” Jess
declared. “She knows as much, if
not more, about it than I do.”
Under her guidance—with oc-
casional instruction from Thomp-
son when he has time — the Ag-
gie basketball team has won 36
of 45 games in the past three
years.
Thompson is no slouch at this
coaching, himself. While sitting at
the ringside, yelling “get mean,”
he has tutored state champion-
ship boxing crews for three con-
secutive years. Four of the eight
1941 Oklahoma A. A. U. kings
were Cameron boys. Two of them
— Asa Howlingwolf and Gus
Stanford — were National semi-
finals at Boston.
Thompson’s football team won
nine of eleven duels in the season
just passed, winning four from
senior colleges. The losses were
to senior teams. Cameron has a
junior college rating.
He has adopted a money-saving
practice of not getting football
uniforms dirty on a muddy field.
When it rains, his boys play in
long underwear.

ter crown, but Red says he'll
fight only when the Navy lets

A. It M. looks fit to repeat
its championship. They lose
11 varsity squad members at
Aggieland but there will be
something like 37 on hand, in-
cluding such fine backs as Leo
Daniels. Cullen Rogers, Willie
Zapalac. Tom Pickett, Jack
Webster and Dennis Andricks.
and such linemen as Don Lue-
thy, Weldon Maples, Ray Mul-
hollan. Felix Bucek. Leonard
Dickey and Bob Tulis.
Rice bounces back with 18 let-
termen. including the great punt-
er and runner. Stoop Dickson. Hal
Stockbridge, Dick Dwelle. and
Linemen Weldon Humble. Char-
les Malmberg, Bob Tresch. Tod
Scruggs and Verlan Prichard.
The Owls will be two deep in line
veterans.
Texas Christian should really
have the goods with 17 lettermen
among whom are all-conference
tackle Derrell Palmer, that bril-
liant Wingman Bruce Alford,
three swell guards, two veteran
centers and a backfield includ-
ing Emery Nix. Dean Bagiev, Gus
Bierman, Van Hall and Frank
Medanich.
Texas will be two deep at
each position with Stan Maul-
din heading up a rugged line
which includes ends Joe Sch-
warting and Wally Scott and
two fine centers in Audrey Gill
and Jack Sachse, with Walton
Roberts. Roy Dale McKay. Wal-
ter Heap and Fritz Lobpries
among the tested backfield per-
formers.
Things should be booming for
Baylor which loses only five
members of its varsity squad and
has a good freshman team ready
to step up. Of course it loses Jack
Wilson but Wilson was out with
injuries much of the time during
the past season. Kit Kittreli, Bill
Coleman, Travis Nelson and that
workhorse, Milton Crain, give
the Bears a fine backfield
start and there ore plenty of ends j
and tackles, while Buddy Gate-
wood prevents any worries over
the center job.
Southern Methodist loses 13 |
seniors, including Preston John- i
ston, Ted Ramsey and Horace i
Young, and of the seven con- j
ference teams the Methodists ap-
pear to be losing more than they
I can hope to gain next season. In !
j fact, coach Matty Bell has said
I he doesn't expect a strong team |
certainly not bad in the air lan-
es.
That's what Sunset did in fight-
ing its way into the semi-finals.
In the bi-district round, the
Bisoro clipped Amon Carter
Riverside (Fort Worth) 14-0. In
that game. Sunset tried six
passes and completed four for
38 yards.
ast week, in taking Highland
Park (Dallas) out of the race, 7-0.
the Bisons attempted ten and con-
nected with four for 53 yards.
It's possible -Sunset Will try to
fight fire with fire and start
pitching the bail promiscuously
Saturday at Dallas It will be in-
teresting to see just what Wich-
ita Falls can do against its own
type of offense.
Undoubtedly the Coyotes are
<me ef the Dassingest teams of
schoolboy history — maybe the
passinqost. And this brings
about another point.
The other semi-final game —
matching Temple with Lamar at |
Houston is between a couple of j
teams with rugged ground games ,
and a modicum of passing.
Temple appears to be the bet- ,
tor-balanced eleven but Lamar 1
has Rav Borneman. and he mak- [
es up for about six players.
The Wildcats were badly crip- 1
pled last week yet were able to j
beat a strong Tyler team 14-7.
While Lamar rates as the fav- I
nrite. a little thing like that
doesn’t bother Temple. The Wild- 1
eats are accustomed to being un- :
derdogs.
