Houston composed in the main
of Southwest Conference players
defeated the Plowboys 58 to 55
for the State AAU title. Both
the champion Oilers and runnerup
Plowboys qualified to participate
in the national AAU tournament
at Denver.
Burroughs Top Man
The Plowboys fought the Oilers
on even terms throughout the
contest and were leading 51 to 50
with four minutes left in the
jgame. But the eviction of Hank
Lrreen nowooy cemer wnn live
fouls with three minutes left
hurt the Abilene cause.
The Plowboys were paced by
Wade Burroughs who tallied 14
points. Bunched right behind
him were Larry Roberts with 12
Green with 11 and Brunson with
10.
James Dowies all - conference

ter and led 26-24 at the half. The

third quarter mark.
Then the fireworks began in
earnest. The Oilers widened it
to 47-43 but the Plowboys swap-
ped baskets and free throws with
the Oilers to bring the score to
50-46. Then Burroughs made it
50-48 and Joe Simpson flipped in
a two-pointer to tie the score.
His free throw put Abilene ahead
51-50 with four minutes to go.
The Oilers with McDonald in
the driver's seat passed the Plow
boys and led 54-51. The Plow-
boys made it 54-53 but the Oilers
retaliated with a oucKet to ieaa
56-53. '
Abilene .brought it up to 56-55.
but couldn't keep it up to pull
into the lead. The Oilers clinch-
ed it with a field goal.
The first game ol the AAU
meet in San Antonio saw the
Graham Plowboys of Abilene
(H-SU Cowboys) turn the
BAMC Comets under to the
depth of 68-22. The score would
have .been more one-sided if the
Comets had not stalled the ball
for the last three minutes. v
As the buzzer sounded at the
end of the first ten minutes the
Plowboys led by a score of 10 to
2. At the half it was 31-8. With
this comfortable half time lead
the Plowboys coasted on to an
easy victory..
Joe Simpson hit 17 points for
high point honors for the night
and Hank Green was next with
16. Hayes led the Comets with 9.
'Rapid 'Roberts Stars
After defeating BAMC in what
seemed to be an easy game the
Graham Plowboys had to play
top flight basketball to come
through with a 58-55 win over
South Flores Sales of San An
tonio to march into the final
round of the state AAU basket-
ball tournament at San Fernando
gym Saturday night.
The Plowboys looked sharp on
defense and offense. The excel-
lent floor work of "Rapid" Rob-
erts and also his excellent team
play contributed greatly to the
Plowboy cause. He seemed to
be everywhere at once. Simpson
better known as "Jumping Joe"
contributed 13 points.
Wade Burroughs also was con-
sistent on rebounds and effec-
tive with drive in layups. Dur-
ward Smith classic Plowboy for-
ward was prominant with his
