s Lose Another
To San Angelo Bobcats
SAN ANGELO. Dec. 17—The
Sweetwater Mustangs sank less
than 35 percent of their shots from
the field here Tuesday night to drop
their second contest of the season
to the San Angelo Bobcats, this
one by a 68-59 score.
The Mustangs turned in a good
game and kept the Bobcats going
at full speed all of the way but
making them good the majority of
the time.
The Bobcats jumped to an early
lead and were never headed—lead-
ing 45-30 at halftime— but the Mus-
tangs rallied in the late stages of
the game to make a contest of it.

Sweetwater center and point-mak-
er, was the mainstay of the Mus-
tangs as he turned in his third
straight 21-point performance. His
21 points also was good for high
scoring honors.
The Bobcats, spreading their
scoring among five men, contin-
ued to be a high scoring outfit that
is hard to stop. Bob Harris set
the pace for the victors with 16
points but was closely trailed by
Hubert Whitley with 13; Milton
Nickel, 11 and Jerry Jones with
10.
Theron Dorsey turned in 11
points for the Mustangs to trail
Anderson. He also turned in good
defensive play and teamed with R.
L. Montgomery to make a good
floor pair.
In the B team that opened the
show, the Bobcats won also to
make a grand slam of the night.
They tripped Coach Tommy Hin-
son's Ponies 48-38 in a game that
was closer than the score indi-
cates.
The Mustangs meet Pecos Thurs-
day afternoon at 4 o.'clock in the
opening round of the Odessa tour-
nament for their next outing. That
will be their last appearance on
the hardwoods until after Christ-
mas.

Colt Cagers Win
Pair At Winters
WINTERS, Dec. 17—The Rea-
gan Junior High Colts of Sweet-
water opened their 1952-53 basket-
ball season with a pair of victories
over the Winters Juniors here
Tuesday night. The Colt B team
won a 32-24 victory over the Win-
ters B's while the Colts made it a
Sweetwater night with a 34-17
breeze.
The Colts were in command all
of the way in the main event,grab-
bing a 6-0 lead in the first two min-
utes of play. They continued to
build up their margin as the game
progressed.
The Colts displayed a smooth
working offense and a tight de-
fense as their combination clicked
on all five cylinders. Every one of
the starters got into the scoring
act.
Dale McKeehan set the scoring
pace with 15 points and was the
outstanding man on the field. C. L.
Holely trailed with seven, followed
by Joe Bob Blann and Bubba
Meyer, five each and Thomas
Womaek two. Womack fouled out
(ate in the game with Jerry Lamm
replacing him.
In the B team game the Colts
again Jed all of the way although
the score was close most of the
time.
Dale Littlefield scored 10 points
for top honors. Lamm followed
with 8 and Lawrence Bredemeyer
chipped in with seven.

Trautman Is
Hopeful For
Good 1953
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 17—UP
—The "considerate and friendly at-
titude" the major league clubs
showed for the minors in the an-
nual meetings in Phoenix means a
bright future for the minor leagues.
This was the happy conclusion of
George M. Trautman. head man of
the minor league baseball organiza-
tion, in a report on the meetings
the first week of this month.
"The major leagues were very
considerate in every way," he said,
adding that all but two of the pro-
posals to the major-minor league
agreement suggested by the min-
ors were adopted.
Rejected Not Important
The two amendments turned
down, he said, didn't amount to a
great deal.
The big things, as Trautman saw
it in a news conference Tuesday
afternoon in his headquarters here,
were the rules to help the minor
league clubs keep their team in-
tact and the decision to "explore"
the possibility of sharing the money
big league clubs receive for broad-
casting and televising of their
games in minor league territory.
Trautman said that the 43 minor
league and the 319 minor league
clubs which operated this year
have paid their membership for
next year, which means there
should be as many leagues and
teams next year as in 1952.
Roscoe Cagers To
Play Full Card
In 8-A Campaign
ROSCOE, Dec. 17—The ftoscce
Piowboys, jumping right out of
football togs and into the shorts
of the hardwood courts, have al-
ready launched a basketball cam-
paign that will send them to three
tournaments and put them through
a home-and home schedule that
will close February 6.
They have already competed in
one tournament — at Monahans —
and will be back in action Thurs-
day, Friday and Saturday in the
MeMurry tournament in Abilene.
On January 8, 9, 10 they will com-
pete in the Colorado City tourna-
ment and in addition will play Lo-
raine at Roscoe on December 30,
and Rotan at Rotan on January 2

The Roscoe girls competed in
the Loraine tournament last week-
end and will play one-half of the
cage double-header with the boys
in the home and home games with
Loraine and Rotan.

Four-Way Cage Race Seen
In SWC: Texas, Rice Liked
By ED FITE
United Press Sports Writer
Coaches Don Suman of Rice and
Thurman (Slue) Hull of Texas
swapped compliments Wednesday,
each singling out the other's bas-
ketball team as the one to beat for
the Southwest Conference champi-
onship.
Suman, whose team upset NCAA
champion Kansas last week, said
he still thinks Texas will be "tough-
est to beat" and, without naming
them, said Hull had four boys who
could make anybody's conference
five.
Hull, meanwhile, admitted that
"we'll be a little better than last
year—tougher to beat—but it looks
like Rice is going to be the power
in the conference."
Rice, Texas Get Good Starts
In their first two outings Rice
has trimmed Sam Houston State
75 to 59 and Kansas 54 to 51 while
Texas has stopped Oklahoma 48 to
47 and Colorado A&M 63 to 46.
Both coaches admitted that they
had expected Southern Methodist
would be strong, but that Coach
E. O. (Doc) Hayes' team had been
disappointing in losing close ones
to Hardin-Simmons and Oklahoma.
Hayes said he wasn't surprised,
but dropped a subtle hint that his
SMU Mustangs might be a little
more cantankerous later in the
season as his inexperienced tall
boys—something he has lacked in
recent years—get the feel of com-
petition and scholastieally - ineli-
gible Derrell Murphy becomes
available again at mid-term.
Arkansas, the other team rated
as a pre-season possibility to suc-
ceed graduation - riddled Texas
Christian, may yet live up to those
expectations if last week's 102 to
71 rout of Mississippi State can be
taken as a criterion. Arkansas lost
its opener, however, to Tulsa 69 to
54 as Coach Glen Rose's team made
its initial switch from the ball-con-
trol to fast break style.
Texas Christian won its first two
games as Coach Buster Brannon
went quietly about his way of try-
ing to rebuild from the floor up,
but TCU, like Baylor and Texas
A&M, wasn't expected to offer
more than "hot night" threats to
the other members because of in-
experience.
HOT ROD
DETROIT. Dec. 17—UP — The
marriage of Albert and Mary Das
galos of suburban Dearborn went
up in a cloud of exhaust smoke
Wednesday.
Mrs. Dasgalos filed for divorce,
charging her husband squandered
so much time and money on hot-
rod racing she had to support the
family.
Cowpoke Defense
To Be Tested As
Top Teams Battle
NEW YORK. Dec. 17-UP—The
bali-hogging Oklahoma Aggies will
try to put the brakes on high-scor-
ing DePaul in an intersectional
highlight on Wednesday night's
basketball schedule.
Both teams are ranked in the top
20 nationally—the Aggies fifth and
the Blue Demons 19th—and both
will be shooting for their sixth vic-
tories in a so-far perfect season.
But they achieved their high-rank-
ing in different ways, and Wednes-
day night's meeting on the Aggies'
court at Stillwater, Okla., shapes
up as an "offense vs defense" bat-
tle.
The Aggies, true to the traditions
of Coach Henry (Hank) Iba, are
once again one of the nation's top
defensive teams. In the first five
games, they allowed an average of
only 40.8 points per game. DePaul,
on .the other hand, has been scoring
at the merry rate of 83.8 points per
game, so the collision should be
terrific. _
Other Big Ones Slated
Four other high-ranked teams are
in action Wednesday, nigjit but only
one 10th - ranked Notre Dame,
shculd ran into much trouble as it
seeks its fourth victory agata^i
Loyoia of Chicago.
LaSaiie's Explorers, ranked sec
ond, continue their national tour
with a visit to three times beaten
Arizona. Louisiana State, ranked
13th, meets another three-time los-
er, Alabama, in the Southeastern
Conference. Navy, rated 15th, faces
Rutgers, which has lost twice.
One team ranked in the top 20.
20th-rated Missouri, went down to
defeat Tuesday night. The Tigers
bowed to Arkansas, 65 to 64, at C«|
lumbia, Mo., when Carroll ScrojF
gins of Arkansas sank a set shot
from the side with only one second
remaining .Six-root, four-inch Gene
Lambert of Arkansas led the scor-
ing with 24 points.
