SPORTS ROUND-UP
By LLOYD WRIGHT
Brand Sports Editor
This is the time of year when
the sports world seems to be in
a state of wild confusion. Sports-
writers are still hanging on to
basketball . . . compiling final
statistics and covering national
tournaments . . . and at the same
time trying to get into the busi-
ness of track baseball tennis
Softball ping pong and marbles.
And in a final stab at basket-
ball we just want to comment on
the all-Border conference team
selections released this week. H-
SU placed two men on the hon-
orable mention part of the list
. . . Larry Wartes and Pete Gol-
son. But it was Arizona the BC
champs who walked off with
the biggest hunk of the make-
believe team. They placed three
men on the first team and one
on the second team.
The great big Wildcats were
toppled from the National Invi-
tational Basketball tournament
in New York last Tuesday by
little Dayton 74-C8. Arizona had
entered the tournament seeded
fourth place. That same night
North Carolina State was downed
by Seton Hall to round out the
double-barreled upset.
Although Freddy Morales may
not get to fight in New York
next Monday night it's quite an
honor to be selected as a member
of the team that will challenge
the Big City champs. Morales was
considered by the Chicago selec-
tion committee to be a stronger
contender for the bantamweight
division than either of the other
finalists and thus was extended
the invitation. It could be that
Morales will get to go on to the
International championships. But
that is merely a possibility and
not a probability so we'd better
not say any more. At any rate
the little boxer has gone a long

FRESHMEN TRACKSTERS Track coach Bill Scott gives instruction about proper stance to
frosh cindermen Cliff Rowland at left and Joel Comb. Combs has turned in some fast times in
the century and may develop into one of the lop Cowboy sprinters.
Ten Track Men Enter
Fort Worth Contests
The Hardin-Simmons univer-
sity track team is in Fort Worth
this weekend to compete in the
annual Southwest Exposition
Track and Field meet.
Coach Bill Scott's track team
of Ten Cowbqys left the campus
Friday at noon.
H-SU is represented by four
varsity men "and six freshmen.
The veterans on the squad are
Bill Pardue Dunnie Goode Har-
old Taylor and Don McCollum.
The six freshmen who are com-
peting under the new ruling
passed by the Border conference
are Frank Gage Clifford Row-
land Joel Combs Glen Hinds
Doyle Brunson and Clyde Cason.
In competition Scott has chosen
the entries from past workouts.
These are: Pardue low hurdles
way and we're mighty proud of
him.
Hardin-Simmons is going to
be well represented at the Fort
Worth Exposition and Fat Stock
show this week-end from a sports
viewpoint. Both the golf and
track teams will participate in
the meet and the baseball team
is in the nearby suburb of Dal-
las engaging in diamond warfare
with the SMU Mustangs.
We've watched the reports of
the golf team's tour this week
with considerable regret as no
doubt you have. Coach Ledbet-
ter's boys have had a lot of trou-
ble with the Southwest confer-
ence schools but the experience
will prove valuable in Border
conference play later on.
This will be the initial test for
both the track and baseball
teams. Coach Bill Scott has a
group of both sprint and distance
men that may break the tape in
a number of meets this spring.
Brightest prospect seems to be
Doyle Brunson in the mile. He
has turned in some good times
in this event in practice runs
and may carry on in the college
race as he did in the high school
competition. He won the state
class AA last year running for
Sweetwater high.
Coach Joe Grba's baseball boys
will have their hands full with
the Mustangs but reports are
that the Poke squad is better than
in some years. It's interesting to
note the number of frosh that
will get the nod from Grba this
season.
Since the Border conference
passed legislation permitting first
year men to participate in var-
sity sports Grba is going to make
full use of it. Approximately fif-
ty per cent of the baseballers are
freshmen.
Here's a hot tip: Watch this
Chuck Perry!
Goode dashes Taylor dashes
McCollum 880 Gage 220 dash
Rowland 100 dash Combs 100
220 and 440 dash Hinds 880
Cason rdashes and Brunson
mile run.
Scott is hopeful and believes
the Cowboys will make a show-
ing in this early season meet.
Brunson is expected to place
in the mile run. He has been
looking good in past workouts.
A freshman Brunson won the
mile in the State AA meet last
year for Sweetwater.
The preliminaries will be held
Saturday morning and the finals
for the University class in which
H-SU is competing Saturday af-
ternoon. Better follow he straight and

Two Poke Cagers Win
BC Honorable Mention
Two Cowboy cagers Larry
Wartes and Pete Golson received
honorable mention on the all-
Border conference basketball
team released this week.
Both are four-year lettermen
for the Pokes.
The mythical all-star team was
dominated by the circuit cham-
pions the University of Arizona
Wildcats.
DIAMOND MEN LOSE
Cowboy baseballers lost
their season opener Thursday
bowing to the SMU Mustangs
8-6 in the first of a two-game
series.
Tuesday for the mythical "all-
star" championship.
The Rustlers coached by J. B.
Gibbs went through the tourna-
ment the hard way playing five
games to attain the top position.
In the finals the Aces pushed
the Rustlers into three games.
The first went to the Rustlers on
a 2-0 forfeit score the second
found the Aces winning 41-37
and the third showed the Rustlers
upsetting the Aces 36-23.
The Gibbsmen jumped out in-
to a fast lead in the final cham-
pionship game and led at the end
of the first quarter 17-4. But
the Aces found the range and
made the half time score 20-10.
The Aces just couldn't get back
into the ball game and Rustlers
went on to bring home the bacon.
Jerry Collier of the Rustlers
who was high point man in the
playoffs with 37 points paced his
team with 13 markers. Bob Hart
and Sherry Nail made 9 and 7
tallies respectively for the losers.
In the first tilt the Rustlers
surprised the Aces by setting an
early pace. Midway through the
first half the score was 13-12 in
favor of the National league
champs. The game remained nip-and-tuck
as the half ended 27-26
for the Rustlers.
The lead changed hands fre-
quently during the last portion
and with two minutes remaining
wqs tied 35 all. A field goal by
Max Box put the Aces ahead 37-
35 and the Aces froze the ball
after adding another two pointer
until the final buzzer sounded.

Fights Set March
19 In New York
Freddy Morales has made the
long trek back to Chicago . . .
una nine i presuming not Omy
Hardin-Simmons and Texas but
also the Western part of the Unit-
ed States. Morales has been in-
vited to jom the Chicago Golden
Gloves team that will battle New
York City's champions in inter-
city matches March 19 at Madi-
son Square Garden.
Morales although decisioned
in the Tournament of Champions
was chosen by sponsors of the
Chicago tournament as an alter-
nate to Nate Brooks who defeat-
ed him in the semi-final round.
Brooks will be the number one
bantamweight but Morales was
considered a stronger contender
than either of the other two semi-
finalists hence the invitation.
One of Two
Whether Morales would actu-
ally participate in the matches
or not was not known here. He is
one of two Texans who made
the trip to New York. Pat Riley
of North Texas State all-the-way
winner in the flyweight di-
vision at Chicago is automati-
cally invited as a champion.
However Riley may not get to
fight because of an injured hand.
Should Riley be able to com-
pete in the intercity matches
he'll have a chance pf being se-
lected on the team that will later
meet Europe's Golden Gloves
champions in international
matches March 29 at Chicago
Stadium. It is understood that
Morales may have a chance to
fight on the team also.
Quick Trip
Morales had returned to Abi-
lene only Saturday from Chicago
and was notified late Saturday
night of his nomination to the
squad.
The popular H-SU student
who has been nominated for the
1951 Christian Athletes Associa-
tion boxing award breezed
through the Abilene Regional
Golden Gloves tournament and
the Texas state tournament at
Fort Worth to become a member
