The visitors from Fort Worth had casually thumped Austin Thursday night.

49-36. FRIDAY NIGHT'S scramble at the City Coliseum was quite a different story, however. The Maroons, who dropped their first game to the Panthers by failing to maintain their pace in the fourth period, didnf falter in the return match not where it would be disastrous, anyway. The Maroons led 15-4 at the first quarter, 30-12 at halftime, and hustled for a 44-23 fourth period lead. The Panthers scored IS points in the final period, and Austin managed only eight.

But the top-heavy advantage the Maroons had accumulated was good insurance, and the Panthers couldn't recover their lost ground. Paschal couldn't scratch on a field goal in the first period against what Burger called the Maroons' new "team defense." The Panthers managed only four free throws three of those by Center Bob Wilson. Paschal's second quarter showing wasn't much of an improvement, what with Freddie Odiorne and Tom Gudea pressing their opponents. The Maroons kept getting the rebounds and hitting their shots to increase their advantage. ODIORNE led the winners with 14 points, and Gudea was second with 11.

But they both took a back seat to Paschal's Wilson who sank six field goals in the second half to spark the Panther comeback. Wilson's total for the night was 18 points, and teammate Al White contributed nine six of those THIATIIft DRIVE-IN OPENS 00 P. M. First Show Starting 6:45 P. M.

No one, including Mack, is quite sure this is actually Connie's birthday or not. He always celebrates on Dec. 22 because there is some doubt whether he was born before or after midnight.

Connie, whose tall, guant figure hasn't changed much in the last quarter century, is no longer active manager of the team he guided for so long. He resigned as manager in 1950 after 50 years in that spot and now holds the title of president of the Philadelphia Athletics. TONIGHT EVERYONE WELCOME II THAT SHOOK FIRST SHOW 2:00 P. M.
