DETROIT. Dec. 30—(AP)
—Not a single death attribut-

nation's ranks of 65.690 col-

It was the first year to an 11-

indirectly, because of the gridiron
game

1. Brooklyn’s National league
pennant victory—because the
Dodgers’ season-long battle with *
the SI. Louis Cardinals kept 3
baseball fans in a continuous
state of excitement. The triumph
of the Dodgers, a team popular
everywhere, climaxed a 20-
year drive.
OKLAHOMA CITY, De e.
30.— (UP) —A minute was
long past gone, and it was the
last one of the game, too,
when the West Texas Teach-
ers decided to smite a cham-
pion. The result was eight
points in the closing seconds
of the semi-final game of the
All-College basketball tourna-
ment and a 57 to 55 victory
over the Pittsburg, Kans.,
Teachers, 1940 title holders.
Tonight at 8:15 the West Tex-
ans, "tallest basketball team in the
world" meets Oklahoma A. & M
collegevictor over the University
of Texas 46 to 38 in the second
semi-final game last night.
The West Texas-Pituburg game
was by far the most sparkling one
of this year's tournament that has
brought some fast clubs together.
The teams stayed within four
points of each other throughout the
game until those last few seconds.
Instrumental in the closing victory
spurt of West Texas was All-Amer-
ican Price Brookfield. He account-
ed for 21 points during the game
But It was Bill Stockman of West
Texas who arched a one-hander
toward the hoop that made the fi-
nal score West Texas «7. Pittsburgh
The Aggie rext.’t game was
rough and fast and in doubt until
the latter part of the final period
Texas trailed 22-23 at the hall.
Lon Eggleston, Aggie forward, was
good for 20 points and high point
honors of the game Texas had the
range but A. & M the speed and
smooth team work.

Murphy said his boys were practically unanimous in the
opinion that the Abilenians, in that season closing 28-0 vic-
tory over Big Spring, had more power, polish and all-around
ability than any other club in District 3AA.
Several football observers expressed the opinion that
the Eagles, playing the type of ball they did in the last two
games, were the "hottest" team in this sector.
Sweetwater, the champion, hit its peak in crushing Abi-
lene in a midseason game and never did look like the same
team after that.
Odessa, ruled out of the race for using an ineligible
player, also made a very impressive finish after a slow
start in which the Bronchos --------
