The Austin-American Sports Editor 'pHE SEASON HAS CLOSED for the -University of Texas and Austin High School football teams, but some of their early season victims are still in the running for more glory.

They will square off again Tuesday at 8 p. m. in Gregory Gym and there may be a limited number of seats on sale to the general public at 7:30 p. m.

It had been announced earlier that admission would be granted to blanket tax holders only, but when less than 4,000 students exercised their option Monday night, the Athletic Department announced a possible sale for Tuesday. Led by Slater Martin, playing his first basketball for the Steers since 1943, Texas took command from the start and held a 20-8 margin after 10 minutes of play. Martin sank his first shot to break the ice. then added 10 more in the first half and two in the second for high scoring honors with an aggregate of 14. Getting a lot of crips and hitting with deadly accuracy from far out, the Steers built their margin to 34-9 in 15 minutes and went to rest with a 28-point lead.

Bell Leads Eagles With tall Bud Hopkins setting the pace, the Eagles changed the complexion hurriedly at the start of the second half. The North Tex-ans held the advantage during the first 10 minutes of the second period, scoring 14 points to Texas' 11 to cut the deficit to 26-51, Tex Bell, a substitute, joining Hopkins with some fancy goaling in the Eagle attack. Bell, who looked good on rebounds and going-away shots, took top scoring honors for Pete Shands' team with 12 points, a total that enabled him to share runner-up honors to Martin with Texas' Roy Cox. Madsen Feeds Shooters Al Madsen, the Steers' top scorer last season, accounted for only 4 points and none from the field, but he emerged as one of the game's outstanding performers. The No.

Dec.

2. (Co-champions Arkansas and Rice each placed three men on the all-Southwest Conference football team selected by the coaches for the Associated Press but the only unanimous choice was bounding Bobby Layne. the great fullback of the University of Texas. All seven of the mentors put Layne down for a spot on the all-star ter.m. Weldon Humble, Rice Selection Bechtol, defensive star of Texa.s, for the spots.

The tackle jobs also were decided by close decisions with Lively and Edwards beating out Charles Malmberg of Rice and Monte Moncrief of Texas There was no doubt about the guards, Humble and Wright finishing well out in front. Harris had a tough task beating out Bill Thomas, the fine Arkansas center. Jim Canady, Texas wingback, put up a spirited scrap with Keeney for the fourth backfield 'position. Keeney went in by one vote. versity a co-champion in its own conference.

Arkansas, beaten by three touchdowns here in late October, is Southwest Conference co-champion and the Cotton Bowl host, while Oklahoma and SMU, two cither teams to bow before the Bovines, are strong possibilities for the 'Gator and Sun bowls, respectively. Waco, a 14-6 victim at the hands of Maroons in the season opener last September, is in the Interscbolastic League playoff and a reasonable bet to reach the semi-finals. To reach bi-dis-trict play the VVacoans were hard-pressed to score a 13-6 decision over Temple, a team that had fallen before Austin, 51-0, In early season. Tyler, trounced by the Maroons, 33-0, last October is a surprise entry into the state rrrayoff, having upset Marshal to cop top honors in District 11. If either Waco or Tyler moves on to the state title, a possibility that seems very remote, the Maroons might derive considerable consolation from the fact that they had a better team than the champion.

Since we have suggested that some team other than Waco or Tyler will win the state title, we might as well go further and size up the league playoff; that is, list our selections on bi-district. quarter-final, semi-final and championship rounds. Bi-district: Amarillo over Wichita Falls, Odessa over Ysleta. Highland Park over Denison, Adamson over North Side, Waco over Mineral Wells, Lufkin over Tyler, Lamar over Pasadena. Thomas Jefferson over Edinburg.

Quarter-finals: Odessa over Amarillo. Highland Park over, Adam-son. Waco over Lufkin, Jeff over Lamar. Semi-finals: Odessa over Highland Park, Jeff over Waco. State Champion: Jeff.

Except for bi-district play, these long-range forecasts are subject to change without notice! No better commentary is needed on the bowl situation than the fact that SMU, beaten in half its starts this season, has received a bid. The bowl business has certainly gone commercial when a team with that sort of record inds up with a New Year's Day invitation. At long last George Cole, the erudite University of Arkansas scout, is going to see the Razorbacks play. That chance will come on New Year's Day, when the Hogs meet LSU in the Cotton Bowl. George had only one opportunity to see Arkansas during the regular on AP guard, Clyde Scott, Arkansas wing-back, and Carl Russ, Rice's hammering fullback, each lacked one vote of unanimous selection.

Texas placed two men on the first team and so did Southern Methodist while Texas Christian landed one. Baylor and' Texas didn't register. Baldwin and Wilson were given an equal number of votes and they edged Windell Williams, Rice's great pass-receiver, and Hubert Weight Class 180 195 215 205 215 220 206 184 164 187 175 Senior Senior Sophomore Junior Senior Senior Sophomore Junior Junior Sophomore Sophomore By WILBUR EVANS season. That was last Thursday, when the Porkers fell to Tulsa. He passed up that chance, however, to attend the Texas game here because he had never seen this traditional Turkey Day battle.

I1ETE SHANDS, coach of the North Texas State team that faced the Texas basketeers here Monday night, can sympathize with Business Manager Ed Olle and other UT officials on their seating problem at Gregory gym. Pete says the Eagles have had such a worry at Denton for a number of seasons. The enrollment long ago surpassed the seating capacity there. Shands has been at the Denton school ever since he left Southwest Texas in the late 30 s. It was while serving as basketball coach of the Bobcats that he had the distinction of spoiling the coaching debuta of Olle and Jack Gray.

Ed recalls that Pete's team beat his 1932 Longhorn quint by one point on the San Marcos court, and five seasons later Jack suffered the same experience, his first production opening with a loss to the Bobcats. Early returns indicate that Gray's current club is going to need all of its high-scoring tendency when it makes a three-game tour througn the East and Midwest later this month. Long Island, the Longhorns Madison Square Garden opponent on Dec. 16, ran up the second highest total in its history the other night in defeating Fort Mommouth, 96-64.

Its victoms included Merchant Marine Academy, Marquette. Holy Cross, Georgetown, Detroit and Florida, and its losses were at the hands of Army. Navy, Boston College and Miami. Wiegand said the bowl commit tee previously had sought Wake Forest, but athletic officials there said the school had rejected all bowl bids.

FREEMMU; LOCKHART, Dee. 2: fSpl) Lockhart, with Its first District 35A championship since 1935 already tucked away, travels to Alamo Stadium in San Antonio Friday night for a bi-district clash with Harlandale at 8 p. m. Harlandale, defending Region 6 title holders, collected a surprising but impressive victory over favored Alamo Heights of San Antonio to move into the playoffs. On the basis of this victory, Harlandale will be slightly favored in Friday night's encounter as' Alamo Heights registered a 24 to 0 decision over Lockhart early in the season.

Coach Cameron Harris, however, has brought Lockhart's Lions a long way since that defeat, winning five games and tying two, the deadlocks being registered against powerful New Braunfels and San Marcos. Operating both from the and box formation, the Lions boast a relentless ground game engineered by Don Pfefferkorn and administered by Hilmer Schuolke, Gene Dressen and Jim Smith.
