THE THRESHER
Bishop Quin To
Speak To MSF
At Noon Today
Bishop Clinton S. Quin will speak
to the Methodist Student Fellowship
today at noon in the Fondren li-
brary Exam Room. Bishop Quin is
the Episcopal bishop of Texas. He
was born in Louisville, Ken., and is
a graduate of the University of
Louisville. He received his B.D. de-
gree from Virginia Theological
Seminary. Before being named Bish-
op Coadjutor for Texas, Bishop
Quin was pastor of Trinity Episco-
cal church in Houston. On 1929 he
was made iBshop Texas.
Bishop Quin is a member of the
board of the Episcopal hospital, and

ford (MA, 1946) will describe "Wax
Emulsion Size Distribution."
Plans for this meeting are under
the direction of a local committee
of almost 100 persons. The Commit-
tee was appointed a year ago by
W. 0. Milligan, Associate Professor
of Chemistry, who was the 1949
Chairman of the Southeastern Texas
Section of the ACS. He is the present
Secretary of the Division of Colloid
Chemistry which is sponsoring a
large number of papers at the meet-
ing, and will preside as the 1950
Qhairman of the Divisional Officers
Group at their business meeting on
March 28.

young people of all denominations.
There will be a guest soloist.

20; 200, 15; 400, 60; and a special
case, the Hillel Society: 60, 15. The
percentage range here is from 8 to
12, with the Hillel group, 80 .
Now the responsibility for these
differences fall squarely on the
shoulders of. the religious groups
themselves. But let me rush to say
that their failure is not due to in-
difference, it is not due to lack of
concern or devotion. No, the cause
for their failure stems from nothing
more nor less than ignorance. Ig-
norance in three areas: publicity,
quality of speakers, and the atmos-

Owlook Sympathizes With Cougars
If the University of Houston is looking for a shoulder to cry
on, it can find a couple right here. The choice of the NCAA
Committee for this district of Baylor as our representative in
the NCAA basketball tournament caused Cougar partisans a
lot of anguish. It may not have been as discouraging to
Arkansas, who lost to Baylor twice by sizeable margins, 49-60,
and 42-52, and yet managed to get a tie for the Southwest Con-
ference Championship.
Baylor's 13-11 record doesn't compare favorably with the
U. of H.'s 16-7. Both teams were hot in the late stages of the
campaign, the Cougars' last loss coming sometime in January,
the Bears' a 56-54 overtime loss to A&M February 11th. Baylor
supposedly played stronger teams—maybe the Southwest Con-
ference is a rougher league than the Gulf Coast Conference,
but, in out of Conference games (18 for the Cougars for a
11-7 record; 12 for the Bears for a 5-7 slate), the opposition
was roughly even. *
Who Remembers Baylor's Squawk?
We remember very well the squawk put up by Baylor at
the play-off set up (between tri-champs Rice, Baylor, and
Arkansas and Arizona last year). It seems the Bruins had
a better record against Rice and Arkansas than the other two
had against their tri-champion fellows. Yet Baylor had lost
vital cog Bill Johnson, and managed to get their share of the
title after his loss by wins over Rice, (and that a 1-pointer)
S. M. U., A&M., and T. C. U., while losing to Texas and Arkansas.
So, the team they had at the end of the season only held a 1-1,
and a weak one at that, over the fellow tri-champs.
What happened in the play-off is history. Rice, twice
victor over Arkansas, lost to the Razorbacks who went on and
beat Baylor, winners over Arizona, for the position as represen-
tative.
It Didn't Make First Base Last Year
The squawk didn't get to first base last year. It seems to
have paid unforeseen dividends this year. It's hard to believe
a coach such as Jack Gray could be convinced of the superiority
of one team over another without a game between the two.
Especially if his basis is a team's caliber at the end of the season.
The argument has been advanced that the U of H was
eliminated because of its youth in collegiate circles. Any think-
ing person realizes the age of a college has little to do wth the
quality of its basketball teams. Yeah, who says the NCAA
is thinking ?
SWC Teams Picked
The 1950 Collegiate Sports Writers' All-Southwest Confer-
ence Basketball Team and the 1950 TCU Skiff All-Conference
Team came out late last week. Both are fancy names for a poll
of the Conference schools' sports writers, the first by Chuck
Cabaniss of The Battalion, the second by Joe Shosid of The
Skiff (TCU).
The first team in both cases was Heathington (unanimous
in the A&M poll), Hamilton (unanimous in the other), Mc-
Dowell, McLeod, and Cathcart. The second teams were McDer-
mott, Mitchell, Lutz, Brown, Ambler (Skiff), and J. DeWitt
(Battalion). «
Charley Lutz seems to have impressed a few more fellows
than the Owfookers. Besides first place ballots from Rice and
SMU, Arkansas saw him first string, and Texas second. But
the other three didn't even see him third string. A hot and
cold player, maybe?
Coach Buster Brannon of TCU nosed out Jack Gray of
Texas (the Rice choice) by half a vote for Top Coach. Tom
Hamilton was easily the most valuable player, getting 4 of 7
votes. George McLeod got' 4 of 7 for most valuable soph.
Hamilton was regarded as the best shot in the Conference by
us experts. Next year, according to the Conference sports
writers, it should be a battle between SMU, A&M, and TCU.
Looking it over, Baylor's senior team got one man on the
first two All-Conference choices, Don Heathington. At least
the NCAA wasn't influenced by the laurels the conference
sports writers didn't pass out.
