This fall's Kagle basketball
squad will have have at least seven
new additions when it takes the
floor. Coach Charles Johnson antl
his staff are still seeking recruits
throughout various parts of the
state.
The Kagles have signed Ardie

Tyler junior college. They were
starters on the Apache squad last
season that gained the finals of
the national tournament.
Dixon of Lufkin stands 0-4 and
weighs 185. He pumped through
an average of 14 points per game
for TJC from the forward slot.
Piste, from Lynn, Mass., is a 5-10
guard.
Larry Cruise from Howard
County junior college also had ex-
perience in the national tourna-
ment. He is a 6-3 guard and av-
eraged 15 points last season. He
was also a star at Pampa high
school.
Jimmy Coker will join the team
from Corsicana. He is a fi-fi renter
and weighs litO pounds. He also
averaged some fifteen points.
Prom Midway (Henrietta) will
come Leon Campbell, two-time all-
stater. He is (5-3 Vfe and weighs 175
pounds. He sizzled the nets for
Km; points last season, breaking
his school's scoring record.
Wayne Hopkins of Krum will
follow three of his brothers to
Kagleland. They were Bud. Preddie,
and Ballard. The NTSC career
scoring record is still held by Fred-
die. Wayne was all-district at
Krum, averaging 19 points per
contest. He is fi-fi, weighs 200
pounds, and plays center.
Milton Lehman will transfer
fror.i Henderson County junior col-
lege. He averaged 20 points for the
HCJC Cardinals last year, stands

INJI'RY-RIDDKN RICHARD MENCHACA. the little
record-gmashing cinder star, recently added another surge
of hard luck to his list After suffering from tendonitis
last spring and wearing a cast on his left foot, the San
Antonio ace had to have stitches taken in his right foot
after cutting it at Lake Dallas.

TWO LOCAL GOLFERS have earned extra honors
since the spring semester ended. Rives McBee, former
Eagle links star, won the Weatherford Invitational golf
title and (ieorge Wragg. a member of the frosh team this
spring, captured the annual Breckenridge Invitational meet
in his home town. McBee posted a nine-under-par 201 for
54 holes to heat out runner-up Jack Montgomery of TCU
who hail a 204 showing.
♦ «
THE BIG QUESTION NOW is whether the University
of Oklahoma will pull out of the Big Eight conference. The
Sooners have hinted that they want to withdraw from
the loop.
We think that OU would be greatly aided by going
through with such a proposal. Oklahoma has been a con-
sistent winner in the league since around 1047, and lost
its first conference game last fall after having waded
through 50 straight Big Eight victories.
Where would the Okies turn should they decide to
drop? They were turned down by the Southwest confer-
ence once before, but they seem interested in trying to
gain admittance once again.
Oklahoma would probably try to play independent ball
its first year, thus giving the Sooners a chance to tangle
with most of the top teams across the nation. The Soon-
ers are currently interested in inking a series with Hawaii.
