er and Matchmaker “Doc” Cool
got it Sooner ”
Avcock a former Donna football
star has been fighting regularly
in the Legion arena and is general-
ly recognised as the best Valley
prospect operating in that ring. Dee
can box like nobody's business and
when he hits them with his short
chops they stay hit. He is of the
cautious type carefully getting nto
position to send home his best shots.
The Donnaite has never met his
Ti>h jvt. and fans are wondering
if he can take it. If he can. he
should go far in the fight game
Cabler or the other hand knocks
them dead with either fist He is not
near so cautious as Avcock and is
certain to wade into the Donna‘te in
an effort to end the bout in the
early rounds Cabler has been beat-
en only once in the Valley. He has
confined his fighting to Brownsville
and Matamoros rings heretofore
and up-Vallev fans will be getting
their first glimpse of him Friday
night.
Both of these Valley boys have big
followings and are certain to pack
many fans through the turnstile.
The niairi event should be a sock-
ing affair v hieh will give the fans
what they want. It pits Pern- Know-
les. Florida Indian. against K.d
Bruno of San Antonio. Both are
extremely aggressive and are hard
hitters.

j iourth ol a series of seven stor es
on 1934 Southwest Conference
basketball prospects.*

BY BILL PA-.KLK
Associated Pres* Sports Writer
The University of Arkansas Raz-
jorbacks won the Southwest conter-
' ence basketball championship five
I consecutive years from 1926 to 1930.
In 1931 when Texas Christian won
the championship. Arkansas fin-
ished third. In 1932 the Baylor Bears
won the title and Arkansas again
finished third. Last season the Uni-
versity of Texas won the champion-
ship and Arkansas dropped to
Iourth place.
In eight years the Razorbacks
have never finished lower then
fourth place. A new campaign is
around the corner. At Fayetteville
the Razorbacks are making ready
for a tough conference and non-
conference schedule of 24 games.
This is the maximum numb°r ol
ga.r.es allowed conference teams
When the championship grind
starts. Arkansas will be one of the
outstanding favorites for the crown
The “giants of the Ozards" boast
feur lettermen and a like number
of reserves for the nucleus of this
seasons quintet.
Travis Brasfield. forward and sub-
captain. will be the hub arour.d
which Coach Glen Rose will buik. (
his team. Brasfield is a two-year
man who is fully capable of should- (
ering the burden of team play and
inspiration for his less experienced
mates. Elstner Beall forward and
Taft Moody forward have served
one year each. Van Albertson cen-
ter; Joe Blair guard: John Fulton
guard; Paul Rucker guard are ex-
perienced reserves
Of this crew. Moody was out- |i
standing last year. He finished dxth .
in the conference scoring race wiih j
34 field goals and 20 free shots for
78 points Moody plays the pivot
heir on the offense He shoots •rith 1
either the right or left hand.
The probable make-up of this !
season's team is a complete puzzle
to Coach Rose because of the snl**n- 1
did array of talent. There are a |
M of good boys oqt.“ said Rose j
“and I have been experimenting 1
with them in different positions and !
combinations but I will not have a •
definite lineup until next month" <
Practically certain of their post- 1
tions are Capt. Gus Clifton gua’d
and Travis Brasfield. forward
Moody probably will pair with Bras- 1

Van Albertson who towers 6 feet.
5 inches looms a* the outstanding
choice lor center. The light for the
vacant guard position promises to
be between John Fulton and Joe1
Blair both of whom won reserve
letters last year. Rose can put one
of the tallest teams in the confer-
ence on the floor and regardless
of the eventual definite lineup the
Razorbacks are sure to rank amotie
the top-notchers in the chaat-
picnship race.
