offense; and 5-9 J nneth
Wallace a junior from Austin
Stephen F. Austin who can be
inserted at the ball-handling
poisiton or at a wing spot.
In addition to the eight up-
perclassmen Story has four
freshmen: 6-6 Marty Akins who
was an all-stater at Bellinger;
6-3 Lenwood Anderson and 6-7
Richard Henderson both from
Fort Worth Western Hills and
6-0 guard David Hohensee from
San Antonio Judson.
"We'll have no set five
starters from game to game
like we did last year"' Story
says. "Our eight older plavers
will serve as starters and all of
them will start at times. The
freshmen will be backing them
up."
The coach says his freshmen
are going to be good. "In the
offense we are playing Marty
Akins will be able to score for us
at the post while Lenwood
Anderson and Richard Hen-
derson will both help us on the
boards."
The Yellow Jackets have
been picked to finish
second in the LSC by Texas

"They can pick us anywhere
they want to" says Story "but
it is where we wind up that
counts.
"We probably won't be as
smooth at first as we were last
year but we may wind up better
than last year."
HP has a preseason schedule
of NAIA schools that is tough
says Story. "I've seen Mid-
western and Dallas Baptist and
they look about the same real
good. Cameron (last year's
NAIA champs) should be the
best team we face in non-
conference." Conference action for the
Yellow Jackets begin Jan. 10
at Texas AW University in
Kingsville.

Last week Howard Payne
lost 14-9 to Texas A&I in a game
played during a steady rain.
Three starters did not play
of four fumbles and Texas A&I
the squad. Quarterback Kevin
Kalmus was dismissed
for discipline and at-
titude reasons ac-
cording to Coach Harold
Mayo and safety Lance
Bingham and offensive lineman
Craig Agnew were given the
opportunity to leave the team
because they had considered
transfering to other schools
next semester.
"There are no hard feelings
toward Howard Payne or the
team because of this action"
Mayo said. "I told the team that
they were either with us or not
and if they didn't know or were
considering another school to
go ahead and leave so we would
know where we stood in
recruiting" he explained.
Several other team members
were not suited out for the game
because according to Mayo
there had been too many
squadmen on the bench who
were not Interested in the game.
Only those who had a chance to
play were suited out and all but
Brad Frazier who was injured
played he said.
"We think we're five or six
players away from being very
very good assuming that Clint
Alexander Charles Doolittle
and J. R. Simien will be eligible
to play next season" Mayo
added. "We probably played
more as a team Saturday night
than we had ever before."
