SPORTSCOPE
IT LOOKS LIKE the Big State Conference will have a new cham-
pion this year. The Rams lost all mathematical chances to repeat
jvhen they bowed to St. Edward's, 58-48, With all chances gone for
the conference crown, the Rams will concentrate on their two re-
maining games with Southwestern and East Texas Baptist this week.
The Wesleyans are currently in fourth place with a 4-4 record.
If they win the two remaining, they can better their standing
considerably. Coach Hart is already looking forward to next year
when he will have five returning lettermen. Paul Prater, who Is a
junior in eligibility but a senior scholastically, is still uncertain
whether he will be around next year or not.
JIM BRIDGES is still the leading scorer for the Rams. He is
followed by Jerry Buck and Bill Minnis. Minnis, who has yet to live
up to expectations, has been showing his old form of late and could
displace Buck in the scoring department.
WITH ONLY ONE GAME left the Juniors are heading the pack
In the intramural basketball race. The Juniors clinched the title
when they defeated the Freshmen, 58-26, Thursday night. It was
the fifth victory in as many starts for the champions who need only
a victory over the game but outclassed Sophomores to retain their
perfect record.
The Sophs who are playing the role of spoilers could upset the
Juniors if they play the brand of ball they did in bowing to the Se-
niors in the first game of a double-header Thursday. The Sophs
were behind 19 points at the end of the half, but kept firing at the
basket and narrowed the gap to a mere one point when the game
ended.
TONY HERNANDEZ is still the leader in the scoring depart-
ment. His 114 points puts him 27 markers ahead of his nearest
rival. Jimmy Brown and Bill Brey are fighting it out for second
place. Brown is ahead with 87 points, but Brey is pressing him with
a total of 78 points. The Junior's 58 point-per-game average gives
them the offensive lead in team scoring. They have allowed their
opponents a mere 36 points-per-game, with most of the points being
scored by the Seniors.
THEY SAY YOU'RE not a true columnist until you stick your
neck out a few times and get it chopped off. So in picking my all-
intramural team I realize that I am goip& out on a limb, but I just

rassed the visitors all evening,
swiping passes or causing the Lobos
to commit bad passes.
Bridges had another hot night as
he poured in nine field goals and
seven free throws for 25 points to
push his scoring to 346 points for
the season—well above the high
mark of Mel Chapman, who had
332 last year.
Minnis contributed 13 points to
the TWC cause. Buck added 11.
The Ram record now stands at nine
victories against 11 defeats with
two games remaining on the sche-
dule.
Jim Bridges Could
Gain Second High
Scoring Average
Seniop Jim Bridges is in position
to finish the 1954 season with the
second high scoring average ever
compiled by a Ram basketball
player.
Bridges now boasts an average of
17.3 points-per-game. If he can
boost that average above 17.4 in
the last t\yo games of the season
he will have an average second
only to Clifton McNeely, TWC's
scorer in the nation on the 1946-47
squad. McNeeley's average was 21
points-per-game.
At present E. F. (Easy) Parham
holds the Rams' second highest
scoring average with 17.4 points-
per-game. Bridges' total points in
one season has no chance to equal
the total scoring marks of the
other great scorers for TWC be-
cause they played so many more
games than the present Rams play.

Sophs Almost Pull
But Fall to Seniors, 53-52
Somewhere the sophomores found
strength and inspiration to rise up
jand give the seniors, who had fig-
ured on a push-over, the closest
shave of the roundball race, 52-53.
The seniors sorely missed the
play of their fine post man, Ken-
dell Bond, and their out-man and
deadly set-shot, Jack Demetruk.
As usual, the soph's big noise was
jumping Jimmy Brawn, who plays
all over the court and canned 18
points for the night. Gary Colburn
provided excitement in the last
minute by hitting two long set
shots to bring the sophs within one

Trinity U. Student Gives Secrets

at you whenever she sees you. You
know what her thoughts are. No-
tice—she never smiles that way at
any of the other boys—just at you.
Of course you haven't met her yet
—but remember all those times
she has smiled at you while she
was talking with a group of girls?
Well, she is just finding oat about
you. By the time she does meet
you, she'll know your complete life
history.
Always act indifferent when girls
are around. This is your best
weapon against them. They never
know if you're interested in them
or not. Of bourse, the average
male individual thinks a few days
of indifference will scare the girl
off. But this, often (most often),
isn't the case. Most girls have the
determination of a bulldog or
bloodhound, and once they get on
your trail, an attitude of ^jidiffer-
ference will only spur them on to
greater efforts. So if indifference
doesn't work, try the next thing.
Take a shower twice a month.
If you get caught out in the rain,
you might even be able to go for a
month. It just depends on how
long you can stand to be around
yourself. A five-day old beard,
and long, uncut, uncombed hair al-
ways helps to make the girl won-
der whether you're a man or a
beast. But then there are always
those who love the beast in men.
You can never be completely safe
-—just half safe.
Choose the most popular girls to
go with. Sounds funny? I'll ex-
plain. First, the most popular
girls are too interested in chasing
after all the men without settling
down on any one boy. Second, all
the other boys are trying to date
them, too, so ydu don't need to
worry about getting "stuck" with
them. There are always plenty of

fools ready to step in where, you'
fear to tread. Third, this gives the
girls a chance to run you down.
They never fail to do this when
it is a boy they have been unsuc-
cessful in hooking.
Hint, about all the other girls
you have gone with. No girl likes
to hear about your other love lifes.
Nothing can be more boring to her
—by the attitude.-sfie\ssumes. But
actually, nothing maizes her boil
more. - She dislikes 'the thought of
any other competition and, should
she ever finally get her hooks in
you, nothing better leads toward
those freedom—bringing divorce
proceedings than the other woman
in your life.
Look disinterested when they
wear new clothes. A woman prides
herself bti her new wardrobe and
attractive appearance. It's very
disheartening for a girl to have
spent her hard earned savings on a
new spring outfit only the have it
go unnoticed. She eventually may
figure that her clothetf5and trim
appearance aren't so important,
and begin to get careless in her
dress. Then, on an evening when
she has been particularly rushed,
and has not had time to change
out of her saddle oxfords, tell her
how sloppy she looks. Don't for-
get to ask her if that isn't the

Dinner for Town
Girls Scheduled

to attend. A special invitation is
issued to all new girls. Election

Accurate and constant George
Stevens poured in 15 buckets and
six free tosses to garner 35 points.
Also Tony Hernandez of the ju-
niors swished 19, with Deuson and
Wright jinking six for the winners.
The game which was expected to
be a tight tilt from beginning to
the end, but it proved different as
the juniors held a commanding
lead throughout the entire game.
The score by periods was 15-12,
27-21, 52-38, and 68-49.
Almost deadly passing on the
part of J. C. Nichols and Deuson
kept the ball flinging to the posi-
tion where Hernandez and Stevens
took command. ■
Definitely not to be let out in
the scoring was the senior's Billy
Brey with 17 and Kendall Bond
