In TC Basketball Race
By The Associated Press
Howard Payne, Abilene Chris-
tian and Hardin loom as chief
challengers for the Texas confer-
ence basketball title. McMurry,
Southwestern and Austin are a,ll
bunched behind these three teams
on the basis of pre-conference
competition shows.
The six clubs have nearly a
month before opening the title
chase.
Howard Payne dropped a close,
72-68 to the strong Texas Wes-
levan five last week. Abilene
Christian also looked good in los-
ing to the Fort Worth team, 50-59.
Only a few games are carded
this week, as Christmas holidays
are coming up for the schools.
Abilene Christian plays New
Mexico university at Albuquer-
que, N. M., tonight. Wednesday,

Musial Is National
Loop’s Batting Star
NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (AP)— Stan
Musial, the priceless batting staff
of the St. Louis Cardinals, is be-
ing hailed today as the official
batting champion of the National
league for the third time in his
illustrious career.
Musial posted a lofty .376 mark
to win the batting derby in a
breeze. He also paced the circuit
in runs batted in, 131; runs scored,
135; hits, 230; total bases, 429;
doubles, 46, and triples, 18 ac-
cord to official averages. Musial’s
.376 average is the highest since
Arky Vaughan posted .385 for
five and lost one this season.
Lone Star conference basketball
teams have won a total of 25
games this season and lost 22.
Against Southwest conference
teams they have won seven and
lost five.
Captain Truitt Ingram of East
Texas has the best free throw
record in the conference, having
made 27 of the 33 he has at-
tempted for a percentage of .818.
North Texas has committed 203
fouls in 8 games for an average
of 25 per contest. At the other
extreme, the University of Hous-
ton has had only 86 fouls in seven
games for an average of 12 per
game. Leading scored is Co-cap-
tain Jimmy Littleton of South-
west Texas with 114 points.
Other high scorers are Captain
Truitt Ingram, East Texas, 111;
Charles (Shorty) Whitten, East
Texas; 107; James Collins, Sam
Houston, 94; George Carlisle,

Eagles and Browns
Take Grid Crowns
By The Associated Press
The Philadelphia Eagles and
the Cleveland ’Browns emerged
yesterday as 1948 champions of
the National Football league and
the All-America conference re-
spectively.
The Eagles downed the defend-
ing Champion Chicago Cardinals,
7-0, on a snow-covered gridiron
. at Philadelphia.
Cleveland took its third con-
secutive AAFC title by wallop-
ing the Eastern division Cham-
r pion Buffalo Bills, 49-7, in blus-
tering weather at Cleveland to
wind up an undefeated season.
Unlike baseball, where the two
major leagues mix in a world se-
\ ries, there are no announced
plans for a play off between the
two grid league winners. There
have been rumors the teams
might clash in New York Dec.
26, or possibly in Los Angeles.
Cleveland Coach Paul Brown
suggested after yesterday’s game
he believed an exhibition game
next fall before the 1949 season
starts would be an ideal playoff
time.
But whether anything along
Ak playoff lines would result from
today’s so-called “peace” confer-
ence among rival moguls at Phil-
adelphia was conjectural.

An intercepted pass in the
fourth period gave Amarillo the
ball on the Jackets’ 33 but on the
next play Pipkin intercepted Mc-
Neil’s heave and the Jackets
kicked out of danger.
The Sandies’ last drive of the
ball game came minutes later.
Starting on their own 46 they
drove to Denison’s 28, where the
ball went over on downs.
At this point the Jackets started
a 72-yard march for their only
touchdown. A pass from Kilgore
to Palmer carried to mid-field.
A long toss to Leach was no good
when the receiver dropped the
ball squarely in his arms, while
out in the clear. On a baffling
hidden ball play, Pipkins went off
tackle for 34 yards to Amarillo’s
16. A penalty gave the Jackets
the ball on Amarillo’s seven,
where Kilgore shot a pass to Wil-
loughby for the score. After hav-
ing kicked 1'1 successful extra
points, Johnson missed by a nar-
row margin for the 12th.

Setting Pace in 5
Southwest Play
By WILBUR MARTIN
Associated Press Staff
Jack Gray’s University of Tex-
as Longhorns are setting the pace
in pre-conference play for the
Southwest conference basketball
teams.
The Longhorns have. won six
straight games after di opping
their opener to Tulane. L a s t
week they edged New York uni- r
versity, 58-57, and St. Joseph’s
of Philadelphia, 55-54.
The intersectional schedule for
the seven conference teams 1S
just about over. A few featured
games are on the short schedule
this week.
Rice, which could easily 'end
up on top of the loop standings,
meets St. Louis university at St.
Louis Tuesday.
Southern Methodist has a pair
of games with Missouri at Colum-
bia, Mo., and Baylor plays the
strong Oklahoma Aggies at Still-
water, Okla.
Conference teams bettered .500
in intersectional play last week,
winning seven and losing six.
Phillips Oilers got even with
Baylor, beating the Bears, 46-29.
Baylor earlier this year had
handed the Oilers their first loss
to a college team since 1943.
Texas’ Slater Martin held a
narrow lead over Rice’s Bill.Tom
in individual scorer. Martin has
scored 117 points in seven games.
Tom has 113 for the same num-
ber.

Amarillo Outplayed
By District 5 Team
Throughout Last Half
Amarillo will send its Golden
Sandstorm down Fort Worth way
next Saturday afternoon to meet
the air-minded Waco Tigers for
the Class AA championship of
the Texas interscholastic league.
These two fine teams battled
their way into the finals Satur-
day afternoon, Amarillo eliminat-
ing a fighting Denison eleven and
Waco upsetting a favored Port
Arthur team.
The Tigers rode the arm of the
accurate pitchin’ Claud Kincan-
non to outscore the South Texas
Jackets, completing 17 aerials out
of 41 tries for 267 yards and a
pair of touchdowns, with 15,000
customers looking on.
In Denison, the Sandies struck
with the rapidity of a rattler,
scoring three touchdowns in the
first quarter for what proved to
be sufficient points to send Coach
Howard Lynch’s cohorts into the
state finals. On the third play of ।
the game, Marvin McNeil heaved
a long pass to All-State End
James Garner, a 32-yard pass
which Garner gathered in on the
20 and raced across the goal line.
Makes 85-Yard Jaunt
. The next marker came after an
exchange of punts. Fred Pipkin,
quarterbacking in the place of
Marvin Vincent, who was out
with a broken leg, caught the
Amarillo safety close in and
booted a 65-yard quick-kick to
the Sandies’ 15. It appeared Jack
Newby, Amarillo safety would
let the boot die but suddenly de-
cided to grab the leather and run.
Jacket tacklers were down fast
and chased Newby back to the
10, but three Denison tacklers
slipped off the elusive runner and
two good blocks gave him a clear
field down the right sidelines. He
went over untouched, Guard
Bobby Hudgins booting extra
point.
Once more the Sandies counted
in the initial period, the drive
starting when Pipkin fumbled on
ms own 33 and Amarillo recov-
ered. McNeil, a hard runner,
to the 20 on three blasts through
the line and Priloa scampered
through a big hole at left tackle
to the five-yard stripe. Raison
added three more and McNeil
bulled over from the two for the
Sandies’ final effort of the after-
noon.
Jackets Start Moving
The Jackets finally got together
in the second quarter and though
unable to score, moved three
times into Amarillo territory, one
time reaching the Sandies 33.
Denison scored two points in
the third quarter. Pipkin booted
out on the Amarillo 11. The San-
dies drew a five-yard penalty for
backfield in motion and on the
next play McNeil fumbled, tried
to run with the ball and was
tackled behind his own goal line
by a bevy of Jacket tacklers.
