that they had towards winning
the contest. But the San An-

the local boys. At no time did it

tossing ball after ball at the bas-

W Brackenridge High went UP

a hard time defeating them by
two points for the state high
school title. From this runner-
up team of 1925. Bobby Cannon
has ten men on his 1926 squad,

In what proved to be one of the

entire season. Coach Tom Dennis'
Austin High Mardons went down in
decisive defeat before the powerful
Brackenridge High school basket-

the score 38 to 9. .
This was the final game of the
scheduled season for the Maroons,
and their next contests will be in

Georgetown Saturday.

Visitors Too Strong.
From the very start of the game
it was evident that the young team
of the Maroons, shaped from green
material at the first of the season
by Coach Dennis, was not able to
cope with the smooth-running ma-
chine that has been produced by
Bobby Cannon this year. At no
time during the game was the su-
periority of Brackenridge ever
threatened.
This victory completes the sea-

NEW TORK, Feb. 18.— As was the case in 1934, only four hurlers
reached the 30-gam© class in victories in the American league last
season. They were: Coveleskie and Johnston of Washington;
Rommel. Athletics and Lyons of the White Sox.
Johnson was the sol© repeater, having a record of 20-7-.741. against
23-7-,767 for the- previous campaign. Rommel and Lyons won th©
most tilta. -21. though Eddie only dropped 10 games to 11 for Ted.
Coveleskie had 20 victories and five defeats, an average of .800, th©
league’s premier mark.
Pennock. Thurston and Shaute, 20-game winners in 1924, were
several pegs removed from th© ©lit© ctrele in th© recent chase. This
was ©specially true concerning Thurston and Shaute. Th© former
garnered but 10 wins in 36 brushes, while Shaute grabbed only four
in 38.
Over a period covering th© 1924-28 campaigns, Johnson turned in
43 victories against 14 deteats. That’s an average of .714. Pretty fair
work for a veteran of 19 major league seasons.
tonio, Austin suffered its first de-
feat of the season.
Fomby and Hopkins were high
point men for the Maroons, with
three points each to their credit.
Fomby made all of his points by
free throws, while Hopkins, from
forward, lopped one field goal.
Cheatham. center of the visiting
team, was high point man, with 11
points to his credit. Baja, a sub-
stitute forward, and Elkins, regular
goalttosser, followed close on the
heels of their teammate with eight
points each to their credit.

With two consecutive conference
victories behind them for the first
time this year. Coach "Doc" Stew-
art and his crew of Steer basket-
ball players are hard at work for
the three games remaining on their
schedule. Friday night, the Long-
horns will meet the TCU Horned
Frogs in Fort Worth, while on
Tuesday’and Friday of next week,
the Rice Owls and the Aggies will
be played to wind-up the basket-
ball year.
Matty Bell's Frogs hold one vic-
tory over Stewart's team, put over
in Austin. Cantelmi, midget of the j
tallq Frogs, was responsible for this
victory, for he broke loose in the
last few minutes of a closely-fought
game to toss a number of field
goals and to Increase a small lead.
This time, however, Stewart will
put a different club on the 'floor.
“Rosy” Stallter is out of the game,
and Johnny Estes, sophomore star
from Forrest High of Dallas, has
taken his place.. Estes was always
good at guard, and before his
ankle was severely sprained, he
started every game at this position.
The injury necessitated a long rest,
however, during which time Stall-
ter began to all, and Stewart looked
around for some one to tax© his
place.
Joe King, another Dallas star,

showed up well, but last week
