HE'S (tt'E OF THE REASONS
the roof almost falls In when
Howard Payne College fans' con-
gregate for a basketball game In
Yellow Jacket Gym. He leads a
good yell and keeps student sup-
port of HPC athletic teams at
peak level.
And you may see LeRoy Pollock
in u different kind of uniform next
fall. He's big in his usual cordu-
roy cheerleader outfit appears
even bigger in the yell chiefs'
coveralls and from what we can
gather was a giant in football
togs.
Ho may fill the latter type of
togs come football season. Pollock
wants to play college football.
The big Santa Anna product play-
ed a top-notch game in high
school and was regarded a prime
college prospect. However bad
knees prevented him from trying
the college grid sport.
Those same bad knees are also
of top consideration before ho
makes a definite step toward col-
lego ball this fall.
Whether or not Pollock is able
to try football he's played a big
role in school spirit this fall and
winter as have other cheerlead-
ers Pat Melton Beverly Murray
Tommy Atwood Earlina Abbott
and Cecil Friend. They've done a
great job as has every sports-
minded HPC student.
Howard Payne has a greater
number of students per capita at
sports contests than any other
school in the conference and
noise made at basketball games
hero will definitely stack up with
any in the loop regardless of the
size of the school. Let's maintain
continued support at remaining
home basketball games. Schedules
of each game are available and
there are few reasons for missing
at least for the really sports-minded
fan. It takes only 80 minutes to
support your team at each game.
STKANC.E HAPPENINGS
STKANGE THINGS are going
on in Abilene. Bruce Land 1958
National Junior College sprint
champion for Cisco Junior College
last year has dropped out of Abi-
lene Christian College to enter
McMurry College across town.
Stranger things have happened
but wo can't remember when.
Why would an athlete with such
promise as Land drop out of one
of the nation's leading cinder
schools to enter another which
has never at least in recent years
placed any particular emphasis
on track?
Land's answer: "Personal rea
sons"
INDIANS LOOKING UP?
PEKIIAPS McMURRY is placing
new emphasis on the cinder sport.
Another prize track catch out of
last year's high school ranks at
McMurry is John Dalo Lewis ace
sprinter at Coleman.
Incidentally McMurry Track
Coach Grant Teaff said Land en-
rolled at McMurry late Monday
and that ho would recelvo "a full
track scholarship."
If McMurry continues to attract
similarly great cindermen the
Abilene team will have to be
dealt with and this event may not
bo in the to far distant future.
Man to family climbing out of
car: "Well wo finally found a
parking spaco. Does anybody re-
member why we'ro here?" (The

Cagers Tie Record
HPC SOARS T0
OVER SUL ROSS
BY DON NEWBURY
Yellow Jacket Sports Editor
Controlling both tip-offs and
all points in between Howard
Payne College cagers equalled
cord in Yellow Jacket Gym here
Monday night as they smothered
the Sul Ross College Lobos In a
Lone Star Conference scuffle 110-
7C. HPC's 110 points matched the
high single game scoring record
set in 195G when the Jackets
battered Texas Lutheran College
110-74.
The Jacket win gives the local
quint a season record of 9-6 and
pulls HPC's loop mark to 3-1 to
set the stage for a second-place
showdown with Stephen F. Aus-
tin's Lumberjacks Saturday night
in Nacogdoches. The 'Jacks also
have a 3-1 circuit record.
It was simply no contest. The
Jackets severely battered the
Lobos In every department and
tho only excitement whether
pass the century mark started
boiling In the second half.
Dobie Craig promising 6-3
freshman transfer from Baylor
University moved the locals from
99 to 101 with 3:42 left In the
gamo with a difficult overhead
shot from behind the boardB.
The fouMinppy Lobos resort-
ing to rongh-nnd-tumble pres-
sing tnctlcs to make up for their
height disadvantage were charg-
cil with 3ft fouls 35 personals
and one technical and the ex-
cessive fouling among other
things sealed their doom.
Outpointing the Lobos by just
two field goals 32-30 HPC told
a completely different story at
the foul line. The Jackets stepped
to the foul circle 60 times and
bucketed 46 charity tosses for a
more than commendable 76.7 per
centage.
The Lobos cashed in on 16 of
22 free tosses for 72.7 per cent.
Six Payne players and four
Lobos hit in the double figures.
Edwin Cox was top scorer in
the game with 20 points. Doyle
Rogers ran second with 19 Robert
McMahan added 18; Craig 12 Bob-
by Edgar 10 and Stanley Owen 10.
Mike Pawell who hit 30 points
when HPC tamed SR 88-72 in
Alpine was held to half that
amount Monday night as ho led
tho Lobos with 15. Raymond Os-
bourne and Virgil Votraw hit 13
each and Frank Trevlno added 10.
HPC's Owen and AI Kloven
ended up far under their usunl
scoring quota but there's n rea
son. Owen fired only six field
shots and connected on two
while KIotcii hit all three of
bis floor efforts. The pair was

Involved In another Important
cage fnnctlon passing.
And pass they did. The smooth
cagers fired the ball under the
bucket to Cox or to top post man
McMahan and two points were
usually on the way.
Cox hit five of his six field
shots and McMahan continued to
amaze the almost 1000 fans In
Yellow Jacket Gym with his rapidly-Improving
hook shots from
every angle.
Rogers played his usual stcl-
ler floor game nnd ravaged the
Lobo defense for numerous lay-
ups ne led HPC in field goals
with seven.
The Rossmen had trouble getting
in the scoring swing. With Howard
Payne ahead 17-0 5:13 deep In the
game Osbournc dropped In a pair
of free throws to break the scor-
ing ice for the Lobos. Sul Ross's
first field bucket came with 6:07
gone when Leon Sims hit his only
floor connection of the night.
The Jackets moved ahead 41-
1G with 6:54 left in the first half
when HPC reserves took the floor.
The second five still outpointed
the Lobos 16-15 In the time re
maining until the intermission
when HPC held a 57-31 command.
The Jacket varsity returned
to the floor for the second half
but retired for good when HPC
led 85-50 with 9:41 left In the
game.
The subs came in to score 25
points and allowed the Lobos 26
in the period before the final gun.
Enjoying their finest field shoot-
ing exhibition seen so far this
season the Jackets hit 32 of 58
field shots for a fine 55.2 per-
contaee. The Lobos who follow a shoot- j
the-ball offensive policy hit 30
of 89 for 33.7 per cent accuracy.
Howard Payne held a wide re-
bounding margin 66-39. Cox was
top rebounder with 14. Craig was
runner-up for the winners with
10. Osbournc a six-foot forward
led the losers on the boards with
six rebounds.
Howard Payne's five startees
did some really phenomenal shoot-
ing from the floor. Cox hit five
of six; Kloven three; Owen two
of six; Rogers seven of 13 and
McMahan six of 12. It all adds up
to 23 connection on 30 tries or a
red-hot 76.7 per cent.

trip are first-division outfits.

'COLD' CAGERS
LOSE TO H-SU
Poor field goal and free throw
accuracy spelled doom for Howard
Payne College cagers here Friday
night as the Yellow Jackets bowed
to H a r d 1 n-Simmons University
Cowboys 73-59 before a crowd of
1000 fans In Yellow Jacket Gym-
nasium. The two Baptist clubs fought on
near-equal terms until the final
eight minutes a period In which
the Cowboys poured in 22 to HPC's
eight points.
The Jackets were nnable to
slop II-SC's C-7 senior forward
Doyle Edmlston. Rebonnding
genius of the Border Conference
Edmlston was master of the
boards with 19 grabs and added
the same number of points main-
ly on his nnarched poisonous
jump shots from aTound the
keyhole.
The Rising Star giant drew his
fourth personal foul with approxi-
mately 12 minutes remaining but
maintained his cage manners after
his fourth foul to finish out the
game.
Edwin Cox led the Jacket scor-
ing parade with 17 points but
failed to hog all of HPC's rebound-
ing glory. He notched nine re-
bounds but guards Stanley Owen
and Doyle Rogers grabbed 10 and
eight each respectively.
POOR ACCURACY
It was the first time this season
that all three Payne outside shoot-
ers suffered poor field goal ac-
curacy. Rogers and Kloven hit 33.3
percent from the floor and Owen
was further back with a 25.0 mark.
It marked the first game this year
that at least one member of this
usually sharp-ahootlng trio failed
to hit well above 40 percent.
For complete shot totals the
Jackets hit 25 of 70 field shots
for a 35.7 mark one of their worst
shooting performances of the year
and well under their 42.9 per cent
accuracy for the season to date.
