see people hanging from the raf
ters (ancestor fashion) but the
situation wasn’t quite that bad al-
though we now know just what
a sardine feels like.
We went over fully expecting to
see a good basketball game and
we weren’t disappointed, for the
game was fast and rough.
Of course our chief concern o-
ther than wanting to root for the
Pirates and having to cover the
game as a journalism assignment,
was to see McNeely-Parham Inc.
in action.
We were beginning to be happ-
ily disappointed when after about
twelve minutes had elapsed, the
“Great McNeely” had scored only
one point and that, a charity shot.
His partner, Parham, had racked
up 8 points as had Bob Hamric for
the Pirates, before the “Great one”
got to rolling. In our estimation,
he never did “roll” too much.
add here that most of his jj°'nts
were made in practically a clear
field due to his speed. The Bues
had him well guarded close to the
basket. The first half score was,
Rams 29-Pirates 18.
Starting the game for the Pir-
ates were Hamric, Davenport, Bare,
Ulrey, and Francis.
High point map for the Bucn in
the first frame was Bob iTamrlc
with 10 points followed by Bare
with three. Ulrey and Francis had
two each and Huggins had one.
McNeely was the high pointed
for the Rams in the first naif with
12 counters. Parham had 11 while
Fortenberry and Nicksick kr.d four
and two respectively.
During the first half the Pirates
attempted eight free throws and
accounted for fifty percent of
them. The Rams did the same, sink-
ing four out of eight.
The same starting lineup was
on the court for the Pirates, to
sta^ the second half. The Rams
had one change, Higgins for Phil-
lips.
There was never a dull moment
for the last frame was iust as
Among the special musical ev-
ents on the campus two concerts
are scheduled* for the month of
April. The University Band is pre-
paring to present its first concert
of the year composed of classical
and semi-classical music on Sun-
day, April 13. Sunday performan-
ces are a new inovation at S/uth-
western, but it is bell-veil that
this will be an improvement in
making it possible for all who are
interested to attend.
The following Sunday after-
noon, th twentieth of April, the
newly organized Sinfonietta, or
string orchestra will appear *n
public for the first time.

Once the game was underway,
there was never any doubt as to
the outcome although we did won-
der what the score would he at
the final gun.
Even in defeat we’ll take our
hats off to the Pirates for they
fought all the way, every man.
They simply lost to a better ball
club and that’s no disgrace.

The Texas Wesleyan Rams now
reign supreme in the Texas Con-

Southwestern. The Rams dropped
only one conference game the en-

to the ever powerful Oklahoma Ag-

One of the most amusing sports
incidents heard in quite a while
concerned a TCU football squad
of some years hack which was play-
ing the UCLA team at Los An-
geles. This certain UCLA team had
two Negro ends and two Negro
back field men that were supposed
to be pretty good. One of the TCU
boys took the ball and started on
a wide sweep around end, when one

Abilene ( hristian College Wildcats last Monday night in
\\ (>st Gymnasium. The boys from Abilene had a cinch tie for
liist place in the Texas Conference when they came on the
court, but when they left Georgetown, they were only sec-
ond best in the hectic and stormy race.
As is the usual procedure, the Southwestern Pi-
rates were invincible on their own home court and romped
over the Wildcats by the stunning score of 51-34. The Bucs
were supposed to be underdogs in the game, but they sadly
outclassed their opponent from the opening whistle until ttie
final one.
At the half, the Bucs held on to a comfortable lead,
the score being 22-11 in their favor. At no time during the
game did the Wildcats ever seriously threaten this lead

continued on his wav. From across
the field came the other colored
end charging in. He was checked
by a stiff-arm from the ballcarr-
ier. As the runner came into the
secondary, one of the Negroes
playing as line-backer came across
and missed his tackle because of
the change-of-pace by the TCU
lad. Just the last Negro player
came at him, he too was tricked
into missing his tackle. By this
time, it looked as though the ball-
carrier was loose for a touchdown,
lui; suddenly out of nowhere came
a tleet Bhuin back bearing down
on him, and this fellow (a white
boy) brought him down. The
net- immediately leaped to his feet,
stuck out his hand and beamed,
“Dr. Livingston, I presume.”

Now that the basketball camp-
aign is over for the Pirates, we’d
like to do a little “beefing.” (Some
people call it “griping”) Regard-
less of what it’s calico, what we
do not like is this:

The Veterans Organization of
Southwestern University held a re-
gularly Scheduled meeting, Tues-
day night, March 3, in the Library
auditorium.
The group discussed plans for a
combination barbecue, hayride, and
dance to he held al an nil-announ-
ced date at San Gabriel park. Dana
Green was appointed chairman of
the committee planning the affair.
Baker “D” Coach
Uoach Dewey Mack Baker, new
head mentor of the Independent
“D” basketball team, brings 'the
benefit of his years of experience
in the athletic field. Coach Baker
was a star athlete at Winters High
School where ho was a letterman
in Football, Track, and Baseball, j
Baker graduated from high sen-I
ool in 1945, then served a tour
of duty in the Marine Corps, as i
a corporal, returning to South-
for the home team with 15 points.
Davenport was a h<q second with
12, while Hamric contributed 10
and Ulrey 9. Smith was high for
the visitors with 7; Stovall contri-
buted 6 point", while Nutt and
Ground added 5 each.
Southwestern men seeing action
in the tilt were Bare, Hamric, Ul-
rey. Davenport. Francis. Huggins,
and House. ACC used 12 men in
their vain attempt to halt Pir-
ate’s scoring spree.
The Bucs missed 12 of their 23
attempted free shots, while Ab-
ilene Christian missed 8 of 21.
Before1 the game was over. 2
Wildcats and 1 Pirate had left the
court on personal fouls. This is
just an example of how fierce the
centos, was in some places.
The RU team worked very good
as a whole, and their team-work
was wonderful. If all their games
had been play’d in this manner,
the Bucs would lie tied with Tex-
as Wesleyan or firs; place in the
conference now. At least, this is
the general opinion of all who saw
;he game last night.

bers wore admitted during the
