slumped although his team has
been having trouble staying
above water, took over the
Southwest Conference scoring
lead Monday night as he led Tex- than 2,000 persons have fled
as Tech to a 85-83 victory over their homes along the flooded
rivers in Northern California,
Colorado.
Malaise pitched in 31 points
and brought his season total to
181 in seven games—an average
of 25.9.
Tech’s victory gave the con-
ference a split in intersectional
basketball for the night since
Texas Christian took an 84-75
thumping from Centenary. The
season record is now 14 victories
against 24 losses.

utes and when it won it brought
the Red Raider’ record to 4-3.
Norman Reuther had a three-
point play that finally got Tech,
which had been down 50-46 at
halftime, ahead 74-71 with 5:27
left and the Raiders then went
into a delaying game which took
advantage of Colorado fouling
to clinch the decision.
Texas Christian was ahead by
10 points on two occasions in the
last half but fell in the final
seven minutes. They led 72-62
but got only three points the rest
of the way while Centenary
grabbed off 22. Larry Shoemak-
er and Tom Kerwin got 27
points apiece to pace the Cen-
tenary triumph.
The conference finished ahead
for the night against outside
foes since Texas walloped How-
ard Payne 93-74 by outrebound-
ing the Yellow Jackets. Texas
had 57 rebounds to 30 for How-
ard Payne, whose Walter Car-
ter was high man of the game
with 24 points. Larry Franks led
Texas with 20.

New 57 Mile
Line Readied
By Lone Star
An additional 45 million cubic
feet of gas a day is available to
Waco and the area south of it by
completion of a 57-mile natural
gas transmission pipeline by
Lone Star Gas Company. Com-
pletion of the line coincides with
the recent arrival of this year’s
coldest weather.
“This new line measurably
strengthens the supply of gas
available to all Lone Star cus-
tomers in Waco and south of
Waco,” Louis B. Hulcy, vice pre-
sident in charge of Lone Star’s
General Division of Distribution,
said. “Our gas supply in the
South Texas area is the best in
Lone Star’s history.”
Begun in the latter part of
October, the pipeline cost ap-
proximately $3,000,000. Gas
comes into Lone Star’s new 20-
inch line at Buda and flows
northward to Bartlett where it is
piped into the company’s Trans-
mission system.
“Most of this added gas re-
serve was made available to our
area consumers Wednesday
morning, December 9, when the
line from United Gas Pipeline
Company’s Buda Compressor
Station in Travis County was
completed to the Taylor junc-
tion,” Mr. Hulcey said. “This
section of the line has a capacity
of 35 million cubic feet of gas
a day. The remaining 10 million
cubic feet will become avail-
able with completion of the line
to Bartlett this weekend.”

missing Odessa airplane was
found this morning seven miles

was started after it failed to re-
turn.
The wreckage was first sight-
ed about 8 a.m. today from the

tion was reported as serious.
