Bell Has Only Three
Veterans Left on
Squad

FORT WORTH. Dec. 1e.-Coach
Matty Bells 1929 Frog Gag team Is
slowly crystallizing under heavy
scrimmsge and practice games. The
Purple team lost four star letter
men last year leaving Coach Bell
only three veterans around which o
build a contender.
The Frogs have won their first
two practice starts downing the fast
Tillery Grain company team Of this

able to attend either contest be-
u of illness. he appears definite
ly to have decided upoa most of
his first stringers.
Roy Fury, last year letter man,
has been holding the pivot job IN
good manner and appears to have
the call at that berth. Clyde Me-
Donnell. another letter man., is slat-
ed to do the relief work at the
jumping job.
At forward. Albert Flynn, last
year freshman star appears to be
the best bet. Flynn has an un-
canny eye for the basket, and il was
his long range shooting that won
the Lion game Clyde Robertson. al
other freshman. showed up we'll at
the other worward. Clyde is big
and fast and shoots accurately.
At guards. Captain Horace Wal
lin and Noble Atkins appear to be
the cream of the cup. Wallin was
one of the best guards in the con-
ference last year ard from his per-
formances so far this season has
lost none Of his speed nor passing
ability. Atkins is the big 300

grid squad last season. He did not
90 out for basketball last year.
PLAYING on one of the commercial
loops organized in Fort Worth. This
year his snappy and accurate shoot
ing in feeding the ball to the for
wards under the loop will be n big
aid to the Frogs.
The Frog passing game appears
to be more accurate and faster than
Of former seasons although the OPP
position seems able TO penetrate the
Frog defense at will. Other prac-
tice games and heavy scr.-hmage is
expected to correct this fault before
the conference season opens Jan. 6.
