The trouble with tournaments
is that a lower-division team
that is not expected to do well
will net hot and knock off a fa-
vorite. Howard Payne was the
victim of spoiler Texas A&I and
super-player Ed Turner as the
Jackets lost to the Holies 82-78
in the semifinals of the Lone
Star Conference tournament
Sunday.
The Jackets led at the half 44-
41. but that was not to be in-
dicative of the second half. A&I
Hot 15 of 20 free throws in the
second half and that was the
difference.
"Fouls didn't help us that
much" said head coach
Chester Story after the game.
"Our game plan was to let Ed
'Turner) have his 30 and hold
everybody else to 10." It didn't
work out that way as Turner
canned 34 and Mike Escalante
the leading free throw shooter
in the conference hit 16 of 17
free throws and got foui other
baskets to make his total 24.
"Ed Turner got away with a
lot of pushoffs" Story ex-
plained. He said Jacket players
complained that Turner pushed
them off before the pass to the
bucket while the Hogs were in
their four-corner offense. "He's
so clever he does it before the
pass is thrown" the coach
added.
The largest lead for the
Jackets in the first half wus
four which they held three
times before settling for the
three-p.oint halftime lead on
Allen Bonds' three-point play
with four seconds left.
Gary Hopkins almost
singlehandedly kept HP in the
second half. as he scored 15 of his
23 points in the second stanza.
A&I opened up an eight-point
lead 60 - 52 with 13:38 left and
then had a 10-point lead 68-58
with 5:49 left. The Hoggies had
been in a spread out four cor-
ners scoring some easy baskets
on layups down the middle.
Howard Payne went to a full-
court press and torced some
turnover getting as close as two
points 76-78 with :27 left and 78-
.10 with :17 left. Hopkins kept
driving to the middle but never
could draw a foul from A&I
defenders or the referees. Story
said he had hoped for a three-

point play on Hopkins bucket
with :17 left but it didn't
materialize. HP was never in
the one-and-one situation in the
second half.
Two free throws by Robert
Chancy with : 16 gave the Hogs
their final 32-78 margin of
victory on the Jacket's 15th
team foul of the half.
Three Jackets fouled out
Marshall Davis. Ronnie Phenix
and Kenneth Wallace.
"Davis is our zone-buster.
You take him out and we're in
trouble' Story said. "But I
don't think you can blame it on
the offic ials. They probably did
as good a job as anyone else.
A&I has as much talent as
anybody. When they take the
lead and go into the four cor-
ners you're lucky if you can
win."
Had the Jackets shot better
they might have had a chance to
win. They hit on only 35 of 78
fiield goals for 45 percent below
their 51 percent season average.
In contrast A&I was 26 of 44
for 59 percent which was in-
flated by some easy layups. HP

City council denies plans
for apartments close to HP
By LAURA McKINNEY
Staff Writer
Plans for an apartment
complex primarily to serve
Howard Payne students were
vetoed by the Brownwood City
Council in their Tuesday
meeting although the council
agreed to listen to a modified
proposal later.
Specifically the council
sitting as the Board of
Adjustment in public hearing
denited an application for a
variance in a zoning ordinance.
According to specifications of
the zoning ordinance only 10
apartment units could be placed
on the land in question. A
variance was requested to allow
for 36 efficiency untis.
The apartment complex was
to be built in Block 12
McClellan Addition which is
land bordered by Center
Avenue Lipscomb and Second
according to Virgil Savoy head
of Indian Creek Development
Incorporated which proposed
the project.
Savoy and Buford Sheffield
represented the company and
spoke for the variance in-
dicating the complex would
"Beautify the area."
HP was represented by at-
torney Gary Price; Dr. S. L.
Han vice-president of
student affairs A.
Ramon Garcia assistant to the
vice president for student af-
fairs; Lillian Gandy director
for women's services; and
Harold Preston vice president
for fiscal affairs.
Price spokesman for the
university explained the
college's policy which requires
single students not of Brown-
wood to live on campus and
encourages its married
students to live in university-
owned housing.
Price also indicated that HP
objected to the variance saying
that students who have to seek
housing away from the
university already cannot af-
ford rent such as Savoy
suggested - $160 a month.
Finally Price stated that
Savoy hadn't planned enough
parking because the 40 spaces
planned would not be enough for
most student families.
Attorney Gordon Griffin Jr.
spoke for Coca-Cola Bottling
TWT Moulding and Fannie
Smith all located near or ad-
jacent to the proposed
development.
Griffin presented
photographs and plans which he
said indicated traffic sanitation
and parking problems.
Traffic problems according
to Griffin could arise because
only two exits were proposed in
the plans. Also sanitation
problems would exist due to the
proposed existence of only one
trash dumpster where nine
would be needed.
Griffin also indicated the
Coca-Cola Company said if the
complex were built that it would
fence and lock its other lot
because of the fact they would
not want the lot used for
tenants' parking. Fencing of the
lot would cause incoming 18-
wheelers to have to block
Center Ave. while opening the
uate. More congestion could
occur with parking on Center.
Miss Fannie Smith final
speaker against the proposed
variance owns land adjacent to
the area in question. She said
she would "not like to see so
many people in one place. It
could be unhealthy."
After Savoy made apologies
for drawing so many objections
when he thought he'd been
perforoming a service to the
community Mayor Truman
Harlow said he wanted Savoy
and Sheffield to come back if
they found a more adequate
way to develop the land.
