The Bulldogs one of the strongest teams of the Borde- Conference have a lightning fast team Every bit as fast as they had last year 'according to Coach Marshall of the Mines and the Ari-' zona ns swept up and down the court with amazing speed In the 1938 season here against the Miners JONES IS STAR 1 Tempe will flash one of the out- standing stars in the Conference too in Earle Jones guard He will be a marked man as far as the Miners are concerned He has tallied 58 points this season to lead Ihis team The Miners having had some val-' uable experience against a fast will be ready for the Bull- dogs tonight Coach Pennington will make no changes in his starting lineup The Freshmen will play a preliminary tilt at 7 against the quintet The Orediggers shared their cellar compartment in the Conference today with the New Mexico Lobos A 39-36 victory by the Orange last v- night gave them an even split with the New Mexicans SHOW IMPROVEMENT They showed marked improve- ment over the night before when Jbad passes wrecked their chances of winning although they had many intercepted last night A strong closing rush gave the Min- ers victory They trailed through-1 out most of the last half but with less than five minutes to go Salva- dor Mora forward put them 37-36 ahead with an under-the-basket goaL The Miners capitalized on 5 free shots as the Lobos became panic-stricken for their other two -points Free shots came nearly being the Mines nemesis again however The cashed in on only nine of their 25 chances The Lobos had a much better percentage making 12 out of 20l k- scoring record with 21 points to lead thu Miners Jack Henley guard and Paul Brock forward scored eight for the Lobos Tal Godding crack forward left the i game with a badly sprained ankle in the closing minutes and may not fbe able to play against the -New Mexico Aggies tonight at State College Led by Bud Lassiter who scored 28 points the Mines Freshmen again defeated the Lobo Yearlings last night The score was 68-47 Ray Tanner Lobo star connected for 22 r- points Don Lance was second high the Miners with 15 points Varsity box score: MEW MEXICO As I Was Saying By BOB INGRAM Lobo Cage Players Claim They Vere Robbed ONE of the most familiar bleats in sports We wuz robbed was heard last night when the New Mexico University Lobos came off the court after losing to the Texas Mines 39-36 Roy Johnson Lobo coach took the close defeat with a smile He shook hands with both officials paid off a small bet to Mack Saxon and es corted his team to the dressing Answers to this cartoon will be found on the bottom of this page Pyle Dropped $500000 On Dunion Derby He Had First Idea Of Glass licity as a plague but let them hook a fat sea cow th-f operation of which requires no more skill than it involved in loading a beer truck and they will pose all day for the camera men beaming triumphantly and seeming to say proves one hell of a guy" Personally rather spend a day lifting weights in Prof Artie gymnasium or wrestling Man Mountain Dean and if we were asked to name two things least like to do these would hr the two There are men of reserve who will go around buying railroads 50 story buildings and negotiating international loans of fabulous dimensions and you pay them to speak for publication about their activities But let them go into the Canadian woods and slap over a big sleepy moose with a bed slat and they will pose by the hour with the smelly carcass of the defunct brute draped over their shoulder blades Whenever we hear a big game hunter boasting about bringing down a moose we are always promoted to say cm earth could you have missed We mentioned our melancholy thoughts on this subject t6 Mr Ackerman and we were somewhat disappointed when he replied the way I see it you just care for fishing or hunting" rooms Some of the players of the New Mexico team however took the view that the officials had ruined their chances of winning by calling a bunch of fouls on them in the closing minutes of play Jewell Wallace was a target for most of their complaints One New Mexico University rooter invited Wallace to look him up if he ever comes -to Albuquerque but he leave his address so I know how Wallace could find him if he to In every close game the losing team is liable to place the blame on the officiating so it unusual to hear the Lobo players beefing last night TTie two officials explained that every foul they called was justified! They contended that the New Mexico players went into a panic when the Miners took a short lead near the tailend of the game and in their over-zealous effort to win committed several costly fouls Should Get Together I HAVE NO criticism to imh of the officiating in the series here but there is one general fault to find with the work of officials all over the Border Conference At one place officials will esll foul penalties strict At other towns they are not so strict There' are different fnterpreta-r tions of rules in each town i Consequently the visiting team feels quite often that it is un-- justly penalised The Border Conference could remedy this condition by making an interpretation of rules for all officials in the Conference to follow and by voting whether every foul in the books will be called or whether the officials will not be over sealous in blowing their whistles Wrong Method SOME OF THE OFFICIALS of the 'Hobbs amateur boxing tournament held this week object to references made in this column on the Golden Gloves Racket No reflection on the luncheon club which put on the tournament was intended The tournament provided proceeds for a worthwhile benefit I still thihk however that the method of raising money from the bloodshed of amateur boxing tournaments is a poor one Badge Defeats Vines In Dallas Match Bp United Frege DALLAS Feb 10 Donald Budge was the new hero of Dallas sports fans today after defeating Ellsworth Vines 2-6 6-3 7-5 in the 26th tennis match which they have played on their transcontinental tour Two thousahd persons turned out last night for the most elaborate indoor sports show which this city has had in years Curtis Sanford promoter of the Cotton Bowl football games was in charge and he turned the exhibition into a society event by inviting all of the 1939 debutantes and their esorts to be his guests (Following- to the Uat article deal-' and I had been with for four yfears before his time He was all of that You probably read that someone wanted to build a glass stadium Pyle had the first idea on that He wanted the place enclosed and as the seats reached up to the top he planned to have magnifying glasses before the spectators If it rained he could press a button and there would be a glass roof pronto!

they stop off at State College for the two-game series that promises to develop into a pair of grudge battles Jerry Hines has been spending the week trying to add more speed to the offensive machine in an effort to offset the strong zone defense used by the Wolf pack The of Jackson Martinez and Finley will shoulder the main scoring attack for the' Aggies WATCH GODDING BURNETT Besides doing offensive assignments Wood and Sims will probably be -called -on to halt the high scoring duet of Godding and Burnett Both men are big fast accurate The Lobos speedy offense is another worry to Hines

Conference basketball crown they collected in 1938 the Arkansas Razorbacks descended from the Ozarks upon Ft Worth today for a two-game series with Texas Christian The Horned Frogs although down in the mire of the Conference they have yet to win a game in six starts have been a constant headache to their last five opponents and a win would not be unthinkable However that would be the death blow to Arkansas hopes already battered by two losses to Southern Methodist and another to Texas At present Arkansas is in fifth place in the standing with a 500 percentage mind country to prize your last his I saw it And while the newspaper men kidded him he made good on his word The first prize was $50000 And as I remember there were other prizes That was sort of a load to I thought but Charley said make a lot of money Was I in on it? confess I was Every man who entered the race (which was the screwiest thing that ever was put on) gave Charley 5100 But then there was $25 for entrance fee The runners were told that if any one wanted to drop out he could have his $100 back That certainly seemed honest to me BUY 525000 'LAND YACHT Charley had an idea that we ought to have some kind of a big bus We did It was called the yacht" It cost 525000 and it had everything that even your modem hotel today In fact it had more plasters on it when it moved out of the middle west than your Aunt chest and back The first bad break Charley got was at VictOryville Cal a deluge hit us The next morning 100 of the runners dropped out of the race and went to Pyle They wanted their dough back They got it and Pyle right at the start was set back 510000 TOWNS GIVE HIM GO-BY Pyle had made a tour of the roads and had visited the cities where the runners were to pass Every community had guaranteed him anywhere from 51000 to 53000 Down in New Mexico our marathon was just on the edge of town Pyle went to collect his 52000 The mayor of the town said: to you Pyle if you want to come through our town another road just 40 miles Charley had to come through the town In Oklahoma City we got one of our toughest breaks We had been guaranteed 55000 They gave us the go-by Oklahoma City 'was just an

Cromwell first took Charley Pad-dock to eastern meets the critics took one look at form in a workout and said he never would be able to run runs sitting down" they said referring to his high knee
