HOUSTON —Billy Fordjour
anchored a Howard Payne
foursome to an easy victory in
the distance medley, then
came back to outclass a twc-
mile field to finish as one of
the standout performers in the
U.S. Track and Field Federa-
tion national indoor champion-
ships here Saturday night.
Fordjour tacked an easy
4:08.0 mile on the tail end
of the distance medley as
Coach Don Hood's Jackets won
in a snappy 9:54.
Wayne Hatcher gave the
Jackets a solid send off with
a 1:52.5 880, Loral Rogers fol-
lowed with a 49-second quart-
er and Doug Chaney chipped
in with a surprising 3:03 1,-
320-yard spin.
Later, Fordjour wasn't push-
ed in posting a 9:03.0 victory
in the two-mile as Chaney
went unplaced but still clock-
ed a personal best 9:30.0.
Jacket weightman Mjke
Murphy managed a second
place in the shot put despite
a sub-par 52-foot showing. "I
was disappointed Mike didn't
win," Hood said after the
meet. "He was clearly the best
shot putter."
A young and inexperienced
Jacket mile relay team failed
to qualify with a 3:22.0 and
high jumper Buddy Ward
scaled 6-2 for fifth in his specr
ialty.
v,a fu is ■
|Iood, who said he was
pleased with the Jackets' over-
all showing, has scheduled a
practice meet at Ranger Jun-
ior College for today. A week
later, Payne returns to Hous-
ton for the Houston Invitation-
al before traveling to Laredo
for the Border Olympics.

Xniramurals Due To
Get Back On Track
Howard Payne's basketball
intramural program is due to
get back on schedule soon, ac-
cording to Coach Dean Slay-
ton.
The program has been de-
layed to let area high schools
use the gym for playoff games.
The final high school game, at
this time, is scheduled to be
played here on February 29.

B'wood High School
Wins League Crown
IOWA PARK—Brownwood's
muscular Lions disengaged
themselves from the upset-
minded Iowa Park Hawks
with a second quarter, burst
and rolled to an easy 52-40
District 4-AAA basketball vic-
tory here last Friday night.
Sound like an ordinary run-
of-the-mill high school basket-
ball game? In many ways it
was, but Coach Don Martin
and his Lions wouldn't trade it
for the world.
The victory packaged up
Brown wood's first district
cag crown since 1967. It also
ran the Lions' overall district
mark to 13-0, their winning
streak to 14 games and their
season record to 20-4, the
school's best percentage mark
since R. E. (Slim) Warren's
1949 state runnersup finished
at 20-3.
Class-A All-State Gridder
Signs With Yellow Jackets
10-1-1 must be Kent Thoma-
sort's lucky number.
The 6-foot and 234-pound
all-state lineman from Wylie
(the one that's nine miles
northeast of Garland, Tex.) is
leaving a 10-1-1 high school
team to play for a 10-1-1 col-
lege team.
Thomason, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Billy Thomason of Wylie,
has signed a pre-enrollment
application to attend Howard
Payne College in Brownwood
and play football for the Yel-
low Jackets, 1971 co-cham-
pions of the Lone Star Con-
ference.
Last season, both Wylie
High School—winner of dis-
trict 13-A and loser to Crow-
ley High School in the Class
A regional playoffs—and HPC
finished their schedules with
identical records.
According to head HPC grid
coach Dean Slayton, Thoma-
son has been a key player in
two Charles A. Birdsong-
coached Wylie teams, which
in the last two years have
posted a record of 19-2-1.
Thomason was an offensive
line selection on the Class A
all-state first team this year.
He also made all-district and
all-regional — both as an of-
fensive and defensive line-
man. He played both offensive
guard and defensive tackle for
the Wylie Pirates. He is also
expected to play on the line v
at Howard Payne.
Thomason is the fourth play-
er to sign with the Jackets
