The statement was made after

that if a San Antonio transit com-

Charlie war born in Vernon B.
C., a thriving Canadian hamlet
if 9,000 souls, where his parents
were practically pioneers. He
lives there in the off-season, and
works in the office of a produce
trucking firm run by his brother.
Rated a clever stick handler,
the Chinese boy excels at passing
the puck, and at stealing It from
the opposing forward lines. He is
a scoring threat, too, ranking
high among the Rovers’ point-
makers.
Built on the order of a midget
fullback, Charlie plays a crashing
game on the ice. He stand only
five feet six and totes 150 pounds.
The Rangers spotted the color-

Win Over Froggies
Meet Baylor Next;
Other Games Carded
For This Weekend |
By The Associated Press
Texas’ Longhorns, having taken
over the leadership position in
the Southwest conference basket-
ball campaign, today were mak-
ing plans for what may prove to
be their toughest test of the sea-
son, a Friday night invasion of
Waco to meet the Baylor Bears,
defending conference champions.
The mighty Texas five, with a
season record of only one defeat
in 11 starts, was hard pressed for
the first three-quarters last night
before overcoming the winless
but scrapping Frogs of: Texas
Christian. 62-46, at Austin in the
season’s first conference tilt.*
After a nip-and-tuck battle in
the first even minutes, John
Langdon, John Hargis and Al
Madsen began connecting to give
Texaa a 27-17 halftime lead. But
the TCU team kept pressing the
highly favored Longhornsiduring
the early part of the second half,
and it was not until late Un the
game that the Longhorns had col-
lected an 18-point lead that en-
abled Coach Jack Gray to send
in a stream of substitutions.
Hargis Top Scorer
Hargis, with 20 points, led in
scoring. John Langdon, Texas
center, followed with 16, while
Leroy Pasco, two-time all-Confer-
ence player for the Frogs, had 11.
Al adsen, Texas guard, fin-
ished with 10.
Texas is to receive in the first
ten days of conference competi-
tion tests that should determine
whether the Austin team is to
maintain its leadership position.

day, the Steers entertain the
