Track coach Tonto Coleman an-
nounced this week a cinder sche-
dule that includes at least three big
relay carnivals and six other meets.
As in the past Coach Coleman
looks especially to strength in the
distance medley and two mile events
this year. "We have a fine mller in
Eugene Stanford a sophomore and
with help from our freshman crop
we should be able to make a good
showing in the distance medley"
states Coleman.
Two promising freshmen are John
Sanders from Childress running the
440 and Charlie Floyd last year's
Oklahoma schoolboy pole vault
champion.
The schedule will take the wildcats
to the Texas relays at Austin the
Kansas relays at Lawrence and pro-
bably to the Boulder relays of Colo-
rado instead of the Drake relays at
Des Moines.
An all-city college and Camp
Barkelcy meet is slated here the
night of March 20 in connection with
a district 3AA high school meet.
This affair is to be at the high school
stadium. Another local meet will be
a triangular meet with Texas Tech
Hardin Simmons and ACC at Mor-
ris stadium May 1.
o
Professor W. M. Dowell announces
two professional players will put on
an exhibition at Hardin Simmons
Monday night for the benefit of the
badminton players and fans of Abilene.

Successfully opening their Texas
Conference schedule the ACC basket
ball team closed a hard week of
play by walking off the court victors
over the Southwestern Pirates 58-38
last Friday night.
The purple and white quintet open-
ed the home season Monday by turn-
ing back St. Mary's Rattlers 43-40 in
n Hollywood finish which featured
a last minute scoring spree by Leon
Locke and "Hoot" Hill. However
hero honors of the night were reserv-
ed for Eugene Tenney. Tenney was
fouled in an attempt to sink the de-
ciding points and tallied a free throw
to break the 40-40 deadlock. Tenney
then iced the game by a close-up
field goal which made the final point
of the game.
Their second game the Wildcats
bowed to the marvelous shooting of
"Number 8""Musclcd Mike" Ball.
Ball accounted for 17 of the Rattler's
44 points. Close behind him came
Ken Crasswcll with 10. With the half
time score 34-14 the Wildcats showed
new form in the second period but
the game closed 44-31.
Before a wild crowd the Cats open-
ed their share in the conference
chase by again taking a thriller in
the closing seconds. The Pirates of
could not quite stop the last minute
rally which netted ACC the closing
lead of 40-40.
Reaching the infant season's scor-
ing peak 58-38 the Cats boosted
their conference percentage to two
wins by showering balls from every
spot on the floor through the hoop.
The Cats and Pirates alike played a
wide-open game which resulted in
scores galore. The Cats seemed to
have little trouble in handling their
opponents throughout the game. The
half time score stood 29-20.

The. wildcats play ten out of fourteen games at home this season which
will be a big advantage over last year when they were on the road about
the same amount.
Already we have seen five thrilling pieces of hardwo.od play. After
losing a thriller to St. Mary's we split gamc3 in the Monday-Tuesday night
fracas.
Then Southwestern fell victim to the scrappy cats in a two-game scries.
The Hill Billies invaded the lair Tuesday night of this week to show some
fine defensive cage play but to finally fall to the ncver-say-die spirit of the
Wildcats.
Last night our Cats journeyed to Ft. Worth to engage the Rams from
Texas Wesleyan who had lost their only returning regular Xo- the aerial
forces of the army: Clifton McNcelcy did not meet the Wildcats. The'Rams
do not have Southwestern slated and the Jackets and Billies are not meet-
ing each other this year.
Track hopefuls shine as Tonto Coleman sends his thinly-clads for work-
outs every afternoon. He is depending on lcttcrman Oliver Jackson Mike
Hughes and Efugene Stamford to carry the main burden and to destroy
Howard Payne's thought of track domination.
Charlie Floyd state pole vault champion who has breezed the ether as
high as 12 feet 6 inches leads the field's events with John Saunders prom-
ising quarter mller Cogwcll Spikes miler and Joe Bly th hurdler to assist
in the point making. Coach Coleman has hopes of winning a few laurels;
viz. of the cinder method this spring.
The ACC academy will be represented in the foriheoming Golden
Gloves tournament held in Eagle stadium next week in the form of Sam
Smith president of the student body and outstanding basketball and foot-
ball star. He intends to enter the light-weight division. Bcrnic Fcanistcr
also will enter as a light-heavy weight contender.
