THE YELLOW JACKET, JANUARY SI, 1964 PAGE 4
HPC Faces Crucial Tests
Ufa,xjUUXs
"Good evening Brownwood
and area sports fans." These
were familiar words to central
Texas sports enthusiasts prior
to this year.
For it was Don Newbury with
either a report about Howard
Payne or the results of a "B",
bi-district "B" touch football
game between Cross Creek and
Broken Twig.
Newbury served in many
capacities while he was about
the Brownwood scene; as well
as being Sports Publicist for
Howard Payne he was secre-
tary and publicist for the Lone
Star Conference.
Whether. Newbury thought
more of Broken Twig or Howard
Payne, we will never know.
For Newbury answered the
call of the wild and went to
greener pastures and Sul Ross
State College in Alpine.
Now he says "Good evening
Alpine and area sports fans."
This would be wonderful, if his
listeners could understand him;
over half of them are Spanish.
* • •
Newbury is also an expert on
travel, just ask him. It seems
that our hero rented a trailer
to move his things from Brown-
wood to Alpine.
For the first hundred miles
or so of the trip everything
went well, but as luck would
have it his trailer had' a flat.
Getting a flat fixed is not too
difficult, that is in most cases
it isn't.
But Newbury, with a knack
for the unusual, had rented a
trailer whose tires were not of
standard make; consequently,
he had to leave his trailer and
go some hundred miles to get
a new tire, take it back and
have it put on his trailer.
Cars seem to be his specialty.
Just recently he left his car
safely parked on a hill.—He
thought
But he had forgotten to put
the emergency brake on: down
the hill it went, over an em-
bankment, into some scrubs
just missing a twelve foot drop
in the college swimming pool.
• • •
Not wanting to miss the
crucial contest of last Monday
night between the Tellow Jack-
ets and the Lobos, Newbury
drove the 400 odd miles from
Alpine to Brownwood in five
hours.
And there he appeared in his
cowboy hat and boots with the
statement "Didn't know I was
a cowboy did you?"
But instead' of the customary
ten-gallon hat; Newbury had on
a five-gallon one instead.

Jackets Topple
Sul Ross, 91-79
BY BILL HARPER
Tellow Jacket Sports Editor
The opportunity was there,
and the Yellow Jackets took
full advantage of it and moved
into a tie for the lead in Lone
Star Conference basketball race.
The Paynemen took the mea-
sure of the Sul Ross Lobos 91-79,
Monday night at the Brownwood
Coliseum.
Sul Ross came into Monday
night's contest with a perfect
3-0 record. By winning the Yel-
low Jackets moved to a 3-1 con-
ference mark identical with the
Lobos.
Quick from the start, the
Stingers using a pressing zone
jumped from a 6-6 tie to a 21-7
lead at the ten-minute mark of
the first half.
Powered by the shooting of
Captain Ted Hobby, the Payne-
men were able to build their
biggest lead of the evening,
40-21, with 2:25 left in the half.
The Lobos came back to cut
the Yellow Jacket margin to
47-31 at half time.
During the second half, the
Jackets kept applying the pres,~
sure, and were able to keep
their lead at around 15 points.
The twelve-point margin at the
end of the game was as close
as Sul Ross could get.
Hitting a variety of shots, the
Yellow Jackets meshed 30 of 63
shots from the floor for 47 per
cent. The Lobos, somewhat
cooler, hit on only 27 of 79 for
34 per cent.
Leading the Paynemen in
scoring and rebounding was
center Walter Carter. Carter
hit on 8 of 8 shots from the
floor and 17 of 19 free throws
for 33 points.
His 20 rebounds helped the
Paynemen lead in this category
by a 67-47 count.

Cindermen Slate Meets
Despite the fact that their best
event is not going to be run,
the Howard Payne Yellow Jack-
ets will be represented in the
Will Rogers Invitational Track
and Field Meet.
For some unknown reason the
two-mile relay has been dropped
front the card. This relay, a
long time favorite of Coach J. H.
(Cap) Shelton, has been won by
the Paynemen the times it has
been run since the meet's in-
ception in 196L
The Paynemen will enter Jack
Petty In the 1,00 yard run and
either Bill Thomas or Jim
Ewing in the one mile run.
There is still a possibility
that more of the cindermen will
be able to garner places in the
meet, pending word from meet
officials.
Turning to the outdoors, the
1964 Yellow Jacket Schedule
was released Monday, Jan. 27,
by Coach J. H. (Cap) Shelton.
The complete schedule:
Feb. 29, Southwestern Rec-
reation Meet, at Fort Worth;
March 7, East Texas, at Com-
merce; March 14, West Texas
Relays, at Odessa; March 21,
Bast Texas Relays at Commerce;
April 4, Texas Relays, at Austin;
April 11, Howard Payne In-
vitational, at Brownwood; April
18, Kansas Relays at Lawrence,
Kansas; April 25, Drake Re-
lays, at Des Moines, Iowa; May
2, All College Track Meet, at
Denton; May 9, Lone Star Con-
ference Meet, at Nacogdoches.
There is a possibility that the
Yellow Jackets will send some
representatives to the NAIA
meet in Omaha, Neb., June 6.
However, a trip to Omaha is
pending on placement in the
Conference meet and an ac-
ceptable time or distance.
Meet 'Jacks, Hogs
In League Contests
"We really need these two."
These were tfie words of Coach
Glen Whitis concerning his
team's next two ball games.
The cagers face Stephen F.
Austin Lumberjacks tomorrow
night and Texas A&I Javelinas
on Monday. Both games will be
played at the Brownwood Coli-
seum and will start at eight
o'clock. -
These games could be the
making or the breaking point
for the Paynemen in their Lone
Star Conference flag chase.
Said Whitis "We must win both
of these games to stay in con-
tention.
Currently on a three-game
winning streak, the Yellow Jack-
ets know that both teams are
capable of turning the tables
on them. The Lumberjacks with
a type of platooning basketball
will bring a 2-2 league slate
with them into the contest.
The Lumberjacks are well
remembered by HPC rooters for
their 70-60 upset of the Payne-
men. The loss was one of the
two defeats suffered by the
Jackets in Conference play last
year.
Tied with the Lumberjacks
with an identical 2-2 Conference
mark are the Texas Javelinas.
The Javelinas' most notable
victory of the year came last
Monday night when they defeat-
ed the East Texas State Lions
72-61.
An added attraction of Monday
night's game will be the battle
at the high post, between How-
ard Payne's Walter Carter and
A£I's Phil Shirk.
Shirk, an all-conference se-
lection two years ago, sat out
the better part of last year's
conference season with a broken
leg. This year Shrik has been
averaging 20.4 points per game
to lead the Conference in scor-
ing.
Carter, according to Coach
Whitis, "Is just rounding into
shape after being injured and
is improving rapidly each game."
The rugged center is currenly
averaging 17.7 points per game.
In regard to Carter's future
Whitis had this to say "If he
keeps on improving the way he
has, I look for him to be the
greatest postman Howard
Payne's ever had."
Two Paynemen
Rank Near Top
In NAIA Stats
In the recent statistics re-
leased by the NAIA, two Howard
Payne basketball players are
among the nation's best. This
fact was revealed by the NAlA
statistics of Jan. 22.
Robert Springer ranked six-
th in the nation in individual
field goal shooting, 67.3 average.
In 14 games Springer hit on 68
of 101 shots.
In free throw percentage Ted
Hobby ranked tenth in the na-
tion. Hobby in 14 games hit
84 of 96 shots for 87.5 per cent.
Springer's field goal percent-
age is good enough for him to
rank first in Lone Star Con-
ference. In the recent statistics
of games played through Jan.
13, Springer's 67.3 accuracy
was tops.
His 10.3 rebounds per game,
ranks Springer second in con-
ference play for the year.
Yellow Jackets Win Over
Southwest Texas, 68-59
Enjoying one of their best
shooting nights of the year, the
Howard Payne Yellow Jackets
defeated the Southwest Texas
Bobcats 68-59 last Saturday
night at the Brownwood Coli-
seum.
Propelled by the dead-eye
shooting of Robert Springer and
Royce Cooper, the Paynemen
meshed 25 of 46 shots from the
floor for a hot 54 per cent.
Cooper, after xhissing his in-
itial shot, proceeded to sink his
next seven. Springer, tough
under the boards all night, sank
six of eight shots.
After starting a bit slowly,
the Stingers took an 11-10 lead
on a free throw by Springer
with 13:41 left in the first half,
a lead they never relinquished.
At the 8:39 mark the Yellow
Jackets held a 25-22 lead. From
there they ran off eight straight
points to put the margin at 11,
their largest lead of the even-
ing.
The Paynemen were forced to
settle for a nine-point, half-
time lead as Bobcat center
James Heffernan sank a jump
shot as the half ended.
During the second half, the
Jackets were threatened seri-
ously only once, when the Bob-
cats cut the Jacket lead to 45-40
with 13:05 left in the game.
However, two free throws by
Donald Enax and a field goal
by Springer and Ted Hobby put
the contest out of reach.
Awlays an important factor
in a game's outcome is rebound-
ing. Here the Yellow Jackets
held a convincing 37-27 advan-
tage, with Springer leading the
way with 13.
Leading the Paynemen in
scoring was captain Ted Hob-
by. Hobby hit seven shots from
the floor and matched this total
from the free throw line for
21 points.
