Sports Writer Imminunninominummummiffinfloimninimunii Tall Texans When the West Texas State bas ketball team invades Madison Square Garden Wednesday night, Eastern court Sans will get their first chance to see 'the world's tall est team in actioli. The traveling cowboys, who have scored more than 1,000 points already this season, are scheduled to make their debut in the East against the highly rated passers of Long Island University. Together, these two court titans have won 30 out 'of 32 games during the pres ent campaign, and Eastern basket ball adherents are anxious to see the 'towering cowboys in action. Following their one-night stand in New York City, the Texans will move into Philadelphia to play St. Joseph's in one half of a bargain bill in Convention Hall Saturday night. The other half of the dou ble feature has Coach John Law ther's Nittany basketeers booked against a tough Temple outfit. The attraction will afford some 'of - .the best basketball action that Penh State rooters will see this 'season, and many are expecting to take adyeritage of the opportunity. Wiehttil 'Thinking West Texas State Will-floor a team that might well cause a lot of wishful thinking on the part of Pehn State's mentor, John Law ther. The Lion coach advocates the use of tall players, - and he will undoubtedly get plenty of satisfac tion but of watching the Texans, whb 'average 6 •feet, 6 inches. Charlie Halbert, West Texas cen ter who 'towers six feet, 10 inches, is the tallest college basketball player in the nation. The shortest men on the starting lineup are - Wirb brdthers, Frank and Bill Stock man, who are 6 feet, 3 inches. The Texans have won 16 games this season, and all but four of their encounters have been played away from holhe.

His own escape from the bari tone's doom occurred while he was touring the Scandinavian countries in a Danish opera com- pany. The star of the, company was Madame Cahier. "It is to her I owe my career as a tenor," Melchi' r declared. Madame Cahier peered through his booming baritone voice and found a fine lyric quality and an extraordinary range of two and one-half octaves. She pleaded with the opera director to give Melchior a chance at a tenor role, and finally he consented. That role was Tannhaeuder." Today Melchior's "Tannhaeus er" is the model for tenors the world over. ' Since the heros that Wagner __created must be sturdy fellows with voices strong enough to out boom a multitude of trombones, Melchior's early training in stren uous baritone roles gave him the immediate advantage over the fairly light voice of the average tenor.
