Individual Scoring
Honors Grabbed Off
By Longhorn Quint
AUSTIN, Tex., March 9.—When
the Steers won a brilliant 42-31
win over the Texas Aggies, they
brought to a close the most suc
cessful season in Texas history
Since Doc. Stewart's wonder five
went through an undefeated sea
son back in 1924. In that year ev
ery club in the Southwest fell be
fore the fierce attack of the Texas
cagers, and in the 1929 season,
there were only two clubs in the
loop that were able to best the
Texas five, S. M. U. and Arkansas,
Texas splitting the two games with
both.
What happened the night of
March 2 has been told many times
before. With eleven points sep
arating him from the individual
scoring crown, Brock went into the
fray a bit nervous and still lacked
three points at the half, but in
the first five minutes of the sec
ond period scored his three points,
and from then on to the end cf
the game ran the Aggies ragged.
Realizing that his only hope for a
win lay in stopping Brock, Basset,
the Aggie mentor, put two men on
Brock, but they were unable to
stop the Texas captain, and ho
rang up sixteen points to send his
year’s total up to 161, a new high
record for the conference.
Not only did a Texas star break
the individual conference scoring
record, but the Texas five as a
whole bettered its own previous
high mark of 791 points when it
scored 823 points in twenty games
during the season.
The 1930 season will find Texas
losing Wray, Brock and Looney,
but old men from the 1929 squad
and stars from the frosh of 1929
will be on hand to plug these holes,
and the outlook for 1930 is even
brighter than was the 1923 pros
pect.
