In our three years here* during which time we have not missed an S.M.U. game in the big white gym, students and other fans were more dissatisfied with the officiating of that game than any we have witnessed.The gentlemen who worked the#—-——-game were Jack Sisco, football coach at North Texas State Teachers College and “Doc” (Hayes from Dallas Tech High School. Both have officiated many S.M.U. games here, and usually do a pretty good job of it. In our opinion they are much better referees than they showed. Of course, anyone who referees a basketball tilt has a good task on his hands, and a few errors can be excused, but it was exceptionally noticeable Monday night that both teams were getting a pretty raw deal from the officials. So many fouls were called during the first half neither team could play its best basketball. Arvil Jones and Virgil Wilkerson had three fouls apiece before the first half ended, and Grover Keeton and Johnny Se-beck had two each.A. M. was bothered much by the refereeing, but not as much as the Mustangs. We are hoping that if the same two officials work the Baylor-S.M.U. contest here Friday night, they will let the teams open up and play basketball the way it should be played.Back where we come from (Cisco, Tex.) there are some dozen boys who attend the Aggie schooland who, when we come home for a visit, take delight in calling all boys who attend any other college in the Southwest Conference “tea-sippers.” We think the A g g i e basketball squadmen are about the nearest to tea-sippers we have seen. We are referring to the diminutive water-cart the A. M. coach pushes out onto the court during time-out periods. The little cart, which would not do justice to a three-year-old’s toy wagon, created much excitement among spectators at Monday night’s game. This kindergarden method of giving the Cadets water during rest periods just does not seem appropriate for a husky squad of cagers.The tournament for college boxers to be held at Texas University March 19 and 20, to which all eligible boxers in Texas colleges and universities have been invited, is another step toward Intercollegiate boxing in the Southwest. The ring meet, sponsored by the Longhorn Boxing Club of Texas University, will be conducted under Intercollegiate rules and open only to amateurs whose physical condition is certified.Sentiment tow'ard boxing competition among Southwest
