Wranglers Bolster Hope
For Football Season
By LARRY CUNNINGHAM
Spring is here basketball season Is
over; tho next thing we turn to In
the way of athletics is spring foot-
ball or what Is more commonly known
ns "spring-tralning." It gets the
name because it is more or less just
ns tho name implies a period of train-
ing which takes place in the spring
for the football aspirants to develop
and train their various talents and
prepnrc for the coming fall season.
Coach Kimbrough introduced him-
self ns the hnrd working nmbiltious
individual that he is with n bang-up
rough spring drill in the spring of '35.
He has always used the spring sea-
son as a period to teach and practice
develop the individual player's abil-
ity rather than spending the entire
time working out tho timing of plays.
It might be considered "All work
and no play" because there are only
practices with no intcrsecttonal games
to be played thus robbing the sport
of much of the enthusiasm which it
has in the fall season due to the well
developed competitive spirit grown
up around the game. Kimbrough
feels that there is a big job to be done
here on the forty acres this spring if
we are to maintain and improve the
brand of football heretofore played.
This statement is no reflection upon
anyone it simply means that we must
nil get our shoulders to the wheel and
push; the boys trying to make the
team must fight hard while the rest
of us must mold ourselves into such
a spirit that overcomes defeat.
During the spring practices the
newer boys become better acquainted
with their coaches' ideas and methods
of doing things and the coaches have
an opportunity to work more with
each individual player making it pos-
sible to bring out more ability and
talent thereby finding the proper
place and position for each boy. The
general objective you might say is to
mold and develop the different parts
of the football machine and get ready
to time the plays and to get in con-
dition for the following season.
Jarnagin although he is not opti-
mistic about the team feels that the
lack of experience and the fact that
no one has the team made at present
will be a decided advantage by creat-
ing an eagerness to play while facing
the fact that all have the same oppor-
tunity. CAVELL . . . Trim new Gruen

able chap who wears the name of
Lewis "Slick" McCaleb. Slick re-
eelved a severe back injury last

a crushed vertebrae. Showing the
same fiery courageous spirit on the

basketball court Slick is recover-
ing nicely. He is a very popular
figure with teammates and fellow
students and all are anxious for his
return to the campus.

THE POPULAR

West Texas Victor
Over Easy Cowboys
Finishes Season For
Purple and Gold
Hnrdin-Simmons' basketball squad
closed its 1939 season by losing to
West Texas Buffaloes 50 to 2G Tues-
dny night.
The Cowboys clearly no match for
the towering West Texans had dif-
ficulty working the ball in against
the Buffs' flexible zone defense. At
the same time the Buffs played with
brilliance in spurts bcinc esneelallv
off their game In the second period.
Ernie Schur ana Joe Hayes small
players In comparison with their
teammates paced the Buffs' attack
and played a crowding defense which
time and again set back the Cowboys.
Especially did Schur stand out Tues-
day night. He flashed with lightning
speed down the court on several oc-
casions after taking a pass from
Hayes and scored crip shots.
Schur led the scoring with 22 points
while Hayes was second for the Buffs
with 10 the pair of hustling guards
teaming up to keep the game from
growing listless at times.
Osborne tall Cowboy center led his
team and placed second in the count-
ing as he dropped in five field goals
and a free pitch for 11 points.
Before one of the largest crowds of
the season on Monday night the tall
and crafty West Texas Buffaloes sub-
dued the Hardin-Simmons Cowboys
basketeers 61 to 30.
From the outset the game belonged
to the towering Buffaloes.
They completely dominated the con
test with a display of accuraet goal-
shooting and fine defensive work.
The Cowboys tried hard to keep-
pace with the Buffs but they just
couldn't match the all-around effec-
tiveness of their victors.
The Buffs produced four players
who accounted for 51 points. Schur
pint sized guard led the counting
with 15 with Stephenson giant for-
ward getting 13 and Shackleford and
Hayes gathering 12 points each.
Cowsar Cowboy forward paced his
team with 9 points Osborne tree top
center got six.
