Editor' Note: Sport Slants arc an
Individual contribution and should not
be construed to reflect the editorial
policy of The Brand or the university
it serves. Opinions and comments arc
those of the columnist exclusively.
If you have not read tho front naire
story concerning "Tech" and the
"Centennial" ... It would nerhnns be
wise to do so before attempting this.
Otherwise ....
Too much in n subject very touchy
to Texas Tech has been flashing back
and forth across the wires for the
last two days.
A contest of statements (mostly
adverse) has ensued between high of-
ficials at the Plains institution nnd
Hardln-Simmons since tho Dallas
Morning News touched off tho fire-
works Thursday in n sport story quot-
ing Centennial authorities ns saying
. . . "representation of West Texas
on the exposition's football program
this year will depend upon Texas
Tech's willingness or unwillingness to
play the Cowboys In Dallas October
31."
Roasting only a spotty schedule
confined mostly to mediocre in-
tersections! opposition which
with a mere assenting nod could
be booked by anything from How-
ard Payne to Knox college Tech
(as you know) is VERY ANX-
IOUS to fill out their 1936 card
... but VERY ANXIOUS not to
do any of the filling with H.-S.
U. on the other end.
Peto Cawthon TT mastermind con-
tends a gnmo between his Rnidcrs and
tho Cowboys would not draw. Tho
Centennial committee founding its
opinion on more tangible data says
that the game "could be built into one
of the classic? of the entire season."
Recalling their tragic trek to Chi-
cago against DePaul last fall where-
by they DREW 300 (three hundred)
cash customers to Soldiers' stadium
(80000 seating capacity) for one of
their usual tremendous "gates" Tech
if it were not for the staggering
N. Y. A. and P. W. A. funds to meet
the deficit woidd now be cringing
around the Ranchers' chuck wagon
begging for another billing with the
Cowboys like the one last Sept. 20th
(which drew 9000 gratis fans ex-
cepted) the largest audience to
which the Raiders have EVER played.
Should you care or another of our
momentous predictions:
TECH HAS COLD FEET . . . AND
WILL NEVER NEVER AGAIN
CONSIDER PLAYING THE COW-
MEN? . . . even if they have to hock
the ad building to pay athletic ex-
penses. "NEVER AGAIN" simply
because H.-S. will "never again" have
so puny a football team a cage team
or a "tlddle-de-winks" team that it
can possibly be BEATEN by any one-
lung Cawthon outfit. Remove Caw-
thon behead Cannon fumigate the
buildings and change the name to
"Normal" then the Southern Asso-
ciation of Colleges could nt least
truthfully term tho public liability at
Lubbock an "Institution."
A masterpiece of literary perfection
in itself the GRIPE letter .from one
of your correspondent's many admir-
ers lays us practically In the "issles."
Quiet down now It will npt be pub-
lished until next week ns The Brand
is heavy with copy.
All other comments whether lauda-
tory or defamatory are welcome but
please confine to the written form.
Just to prove that this department
DOES make an effort (however sel-
dom) toward covering campus sports
(that's what the other six columns on
this natro are for): On visiting the
Corral tho other afternoon what
tastes we have left for true athletic
prowess were tremendously height-
ened. Familiarity known as "Little"
Black a 120 pound freshman midget
did things with a basketball unseen
here since the days of Johnny Giegg
and "Uncle Joe" Smith. Playing
against nn intiumural quintet boast-
ing two former Cowboy squadmen in
addition to all-round tall timber the
diminutive "pee-weo". blasted the hoop
for 34 tallies over half his team's to-
tal or more than the opposition could
aggregate.

leton (Red Wilcoxson). who STILL

Mermaids Win Intramural
Basketball Championship
The Mermaids cinched the championship of the intramural tournament
by winning six straight games with no losses marked up against them.
Their last game was played jestcrday but It had no bearing on the final
standings as the Skalawags who have been forging ahead steadily already
have two losses marked up against them.
The champions might be matched with a team composed of faculty mem-
bers but nothing definite has been decided upon yet.

Texas Tech's. Jaundice Raiders ab-
sorbed their foutth cage defeat of the
season nt the hands of Conch Flank
Kimbrough's Cowhands as both teams
rnng down tho season cuitnin Fiiday
evening In Lubbock. The Cowboys
were on the long end of a 52-32 count
for the TT outfit's most decisive
trouncing of tho year while score for
earlier festivity was BO to 42
Somehow managing to overcome a
small lead at the outset of the finnl
struggle Tech only once was ahead
and played the Ranchmen a poor sec-
ond. With Furman Scroggins nnd
Sam McCollum pneing their attack
the ciack H & S-five had tho game
on ice at the half 22 to 14.
The final frame was merely another
of those AU-Hardin-Slmmons affairs.
Twenty personal fouls were called on
each side and excessive violation of
tho rules forced three players on each
of the respective teams from the
game.
Scroggins H-S center collected six
tallies in the last half enough to tun
his tabulation to 12 for high scoro
honors. McCollum counted 11 Ben-
son 10.

Opponents Call Bell
Tennis Whirlwind
Texan Is Deadly Net Player
And Expert Exponent
Of The "Kill"
One of the most vivid and colorful
figures ever to appear in the tennis
arena is Berkeley Bell the Texas
Ranger. His dynamic whirlwind
style of play has thrilled tennis gal-
leries both In this country and abroad.
Bell is a veritable hurricane when in
a match. He never slows up his at-
tack be he winning or losing. He
does not give up the fight nor admit
defeat until the final point has been
called against him.
Bell is essentially a volleycr and
one of the most daring of all time.
He apparently subscribes to the
theory that a good offense is the best
defense. Tho Texan is not a tem-
porizer. He cannot stay in tho back
court and fence with his opponent
waiting for an opening. He must
create the opportunity for the "kill"
and in the accomplishment of this
purpose deserts the baseline for the
net at every opportunity. His ground
strokes unorthodox but dependable
are merely the means to an end. His
powerful flat forehands and back
hands and his vicious twisting fore
hand crops form the barrage behind
which the Texan moves into the fore-
court. Onco he is established at the net
his cat-like agility and uncanny sense
of anticipation stand him in good
stead and enable him to make those
hair-raising seemingly impossible vol-
leys for which he is famous.
His service is powerful and his
overhead deadly. He has n cool head
and possesses a splendid match tem-
perament. Bell likes to win but he knows how
to lose and does not permit a defeat
to upset him or to sway him from
his purpose. As he himself puts it
"To be a good tennis player you've
got to learn how to take it."

Balk Estes Oklahoma A.&M.
Star Meets Roderick
Fenton
Another new face was seen on the
Friday night card at Big Jim Wake-
field's Temple of Torture. Balk Estes
one of Conch Gallagher's wrestling
students at Oklahoma A. & M. a few
years back met drop kicking Rod
Fenton of Canada in the semi-final
event.
Estes comes to this section with the
advance publicity of being a clean
scientific wrestler capable of holding
his own in any grappling company.
Fenton who needs no introduction
to the mat clientele appeared last
week in the main event against Wal-
ter (Sneeze) Achciu.
Louis de la Torre middleweight
champion of Mexico tangled with
Bulldog Jackson in the main go. The
Mexican champ is from the school of
scientific matmen and is reputedly
very fast. Jackson's reputation in
the ring was upped a notch last week
when he held Strong Boy Stratton to
a draw in a 30-minute match. Jack-
son came to Texas from tho west
coast where he left a flock of suspen-
sions behind. .
Activities opened with a weight-
lifting exhibition by Stratton using
weights from 100 to 300 pounds. He
also explained the advantages of
the various lifts and gave a short lec-
ture on physical culture.
Eddie Brock of Abilene referee and
ex-wrestler officiated in the matches
this week.
