Cowboys To Meet Wildcats Saturday
H -
Poke Cagers Edge
New Mexico A&M
With only two seconds to go
and the score tied 53-53 last Fri-
day night veteran Pete Golson
stepped up to the free throw line
and sank the game winning shot
as the Cowboys downed the New
Mexico Aggies 54-53.
The win gave the Pokes a 1-1
Border Conference record. On
Thursday night the Cowboys lost
their first Rose Field House game
in 18 starts and began conference
play by losing to New Mexico
University 57-55.
Golson's dramatic final shot
climaxed a battle of long range
shots as each team found it hard
to work the ball in for many crip
shots.
Jim Tackett dealt the Cowboys
misery every time he took air at
the basket from about mid-court
He sank eight field goals and
three free tosses for high point
honors with 19.
Jay Cox and Golson tied for
Cowboy scoring honors with 14
points each.
Coach Jack Martin's men led
throughout the tilt after getting
off to an early start that gave
them a nine-point lead twice
during the first half. But at half-
time the Pokes led only 29-26.
Raiders Defeat Cowboys
The H-SU Cowboys staged a
valiant comeback during the sec-
ond half to go ahead of the Red
Raiders of Texas Tech but the
sharpshooting of Raider Paul
Nolen dwindled the lead and at
the final whistle the 'Tech crew
was on top 69-67.
It was the fifth consecutive
game that the Cowboys have
played that has ended in a mad
scramble for the game winning
two points three of those games
requiring overtimes to decide the
victor.
At Lubbock Tuesday night the
Cowboys overcame a 33-27 half-
time deficit to go ahead after
three minutes of the last half
but Raiders Virgil Johnson and
Jack Alderson put the Techsans
ahead with 4:10 gone in the sec-
ond canto and the Raiders were
never headed after that.
Pete Golson had a gala time
of it during the first half and
though he fouled out during the
first period led the Cowboy
cause with 18 markers. Towering
Nolen captured high point hon

The second half remained tight
as a drum but the Aggies never
caught the Cowboys until Bobby
Porter meshed a long one to
make it 53-53 with less than two
minutes to go.
The defense tightened up and
neither team could get a shot
until Golson worked in for a shot
with only seconds -left. But Mike
Svilar fouled Golson before he
could get his shot away

Record Attendance
Expected For Tilt
By LLOYD WRIGHT
The big game of the week in Abilene will be unreeled at
Rose Field House Saturday night at 8 :00 when the H-SU Cow-
boys try to tame the high-flying Arizona Wildcats.
The Pokes will be out to salvage a portion of the Border
Lonierence and a win oii defending Champion Arizona could
Simmons May Not
Have Boxing Team
Hardin - Simmons university
may not sponsor a boxing team
this year but the Golden Gloves
will be held in Rose Field House
February 2 3 and 5.
However several students who
attend H-SU will compete in the
tournament but will not fight
under the school's auspices. Fred-
dy Morales Tom Adams. Ben
Young and Hill Smith are among
those slated to take part in the
tourney.
Morales won a decision over
Henry Salizar in Houston recent-
ly; while Ben Young knocked out
his opponent last month in Dallas.
Adams and Smith have not fought
this year but it is expected that
both boys will fight before the
Gloves.
Two fighters from Boys' Ranch
are working out with the students
from Hardin-Simmons.
ARIZONA WEST TEXAS
LEAD LOOP STANDINGS
West Texas State has emerged
as the outfit with the best
chance to challenge Arizona for
the Border Conference title.
Both schools have won their
only pair of league starts by
somewhat similar scores. Both
have stacked up against some of
the best teams in the nation in
non-conference play with Ari-
zona showing definitely greater
strength in beating such teams as
CCNY and West Virginia.
Arizona traveling almost
steadily since Christmas now
faces a tough trek through the
eastern part of the League.
Thursday night the West Texas
Buffs met the conference champs
and tonight it's Hardin-Simmons
chance at the big meat.
Arizona State College (Tempo)
could be a conference sleeper. It
has won its only official start
and also made a creditable show-
ing during a long Eastern trip
without its best player Wade
Oliver.
'The other six teams look fairly
(Continued on Page 8)
very easily mean the crown at
the season's end.
The Pokes will go into the
game with a 1-2 won and lost
record in conference play. Ari-
zona has proven her strength this
season by beating such teams as
defending National champs
CCNY and West Virginia.
Cat Record Amazing
Coach Fred Enke's Wildcats
have compiled the amazing home
win record of 71 consecutive
games. Their win over Texas
Western last week marked the
46th consecutive conference tri-
umph. Last year the Cats won
th'eir fifth straight title.
Although a record - breaking
crowd is expected to be on hand
for the contest it will be nothing
new to the Wildcats. On their re-
cent Eastern tour they played
before 37000 fans in four games.
They handed their win over Nat
Holman's City College crew in
New York's famous Madison
Square Garden.
Coach Jack Martin's five have
had some heartbreaking losses
during the past two weeks. In
their last five games the margin
of victory has been no more than
four points and three of those
tilts required overtime periods to
decide the victor.
Cowboy Leaders
Pete Golson Jay Cox and Bud-
dy Matthews veteran Cowboy
performers have been leading
the Pokes in scoring this season.
Able assistance has been given
by first year men Larry Roberts
and Arthur Aragon.
Forming the frame work of the
Cat five are three starters from
last year's championship team
Bob Honea Leo Johnson and
Roger Johnson. The first two
were named to the All-Conference
second team and the latter
was named to the mythical first
team while playing' as a sopho-
more. Last year Roger Jonnson
contributed 338 points to the
Wildcat cause.
Lost by graduation from the
Arizona crew were two of the
Conference's top scorer Leon.
Blevins and Paul Penner. Blevins
set a new Arizona scoring record
of 462 points and was named
captain of the All-Border con-
ference team. Penner averaged
10.7 points per game over the
Cats' 31 game season.
Pokes Dropped Cats
Last year the Cowboys thrilled
a record Rose Field House crowd
by beating the Arizonians 57-
53. At that time the two teams
were running neck-and-neck for
the Border conference crown.
Later on the Pokes journeyed
to Tucson and lost to the Cats
to give the Martinmen second
place in the conference.
After the Arizona tilt the Cow-
boys take a 16 day rest from the
hardwoods for the change of
semesters. Their next cage match
is to be in Canyon with the cur-
rent second place team West
Texas State.

ond place at the Divide Tourna-
ment on January 4 5 6 at Nolan
