IZZY'S IS
By D. A. ISABEL Brand Sports Editor
WHAT CAN BE snid about the Southwest Conference can
be said about the Border Conference ; not knowing what the
climax will be. People seem to think that predictions came easy
in the BC while in the SWC it usually is a toss up. I wonder if
you remember what the story was that was told at the start of
the '52-'53 basketball season II-SU among the bottom group.
It seems that this is one prediction that Coach Scott's men dis-
liked and decided to do something about it. Now they arc fight-
ing fo ra tie in perhaps one of the toughest leagues there is
in the Southwest.
IF (BEING THE MOST POWERFUL WORD in the dic-
tionary) West Texas State should be triumphant over their foes
in Arizona the University of Arizona then the picture would
be of another color IF the Hardin-Simmons Cowboys should
ride ropc and romp the Texas Tech Red Raiders next Tuesday
night then the picture really would be of a differentcolor a
bright color for II-SU.
LAST WEEK WE TALKED IN FAVOR OF a school trip
to Tech but now it seems that my eyes have been opened to a
great deal. First I was informed by the athletic director that
there is limited space in the Tech Gym therefore permitting only
those who were given activity ttickets that would cover the
Tech H-SU game to attend. None of the Lubbock townspeople
ever get to attend any of the Tech games because of this limited
space. Therefore it would almost be impossible for any of the
Cowboy followers to obtain seats; standing space only could be
the only possible treat given to those who might go.
"BUT" should the Cowboys end in a tie with Arizona Uni-
versity what would the hindrance to having a school trip be
providing' it or they (whatever the case may be) be played on a
neutral court say El Paso for instance. If the play-off should
come it probably would be during the week of March 9 when
there will no conflict between school activities and the very
important basketball game or games.
Coaches Named For
Greenbelt Bowl
Two of the Cowboy football
coaches Sammy Baugh and Larry
Cunmngham associates to Head
Coach Murray Evans moved into
the spotlight this past week by
becoming coaches for one of the
Greenbelt Bowl teams to be held

W. Stewart general chairman of
the bowl has announced.
One of the local men of that
area Dick Todd will serve as an

of Childress high coaching staff.

Cagers Breeze Past
Trinity Tigers Here
While the band played Dixie-
land fifteen candidates tried out
for cheerleader positions and
while they rested for further de-
monstrations Coach Bill Scott's
Cowboys breezed past the Trin-
ity Tigers to the tune of 77-55.
Wade Burroughs led the scor-
ing parade with thirteen points.
Everybody got into the act as the
Cowboys jumped to an early lead
that was never undangered. Tre-
maine Burroughs Ryan Burks
and Hibler started and built up a
18-10 first quarter lead before the
regulars came on. Green dunked
seven straight points midway of
the second quarter to bring the
halftime score to 37-24.
The hottest thing in Rose Field
House was the impromptu Dixi-
Jand concert by eight or nine
Band members at halftime.
Everything else including the
game was quite leisurely.
Green Smith Covert Roberts
and Brunson maintained the 13
point lead in the third period
ending the quarter with the
score 51-39. Smith led with six
points but the feature of the
period came as time ran out. Lit-
tle 5'6" Kalmair of Trinity sunk
one from the centerline just as
the buzzer went off.
Burroughs paced the Cowboys
in the fourth period with eight
points as the team pullled away
fro mthe Tigers to their final 22
point margin 77-55.
Along' with Burroughs 13
points Green had 10 Tremaine
Smith and Brunson nine each
Covert six Burks and Roberts
seven Ryan five and Hibler
one.
High point honors for the night
went to Roy Green of Trinity
who scored 19.

Arizona H-SU Are
Tied For Crown
By D. A. ISABEL
Brand Sports Editor
Having to "do or die" in the
fading games of their Border
Conference schedule the H-SU
Cowboys licked the New Mexico
Aggies 58-52 giving the Pokes a
10-3 won and lost record for the
Conference thus far moving;
them into a tie with the Univer-
sity of Arizona for first place.
The Aggies trailing 19-7 at
the end of the first period cut
loose in the second period to cut
the Cowboy's lead to 31-28 by
halftime.
Then the lead seesawed be-
tween the two teams in the sec-
ond half until the Cowboys broke
a 39-39 tie in the third period.
Hardin-Simmons went ahead for
good in the third frame as it
ended 44-40.
Extending Scoring
Hank Green extended his scor-
ing for the Cowboys as he sank
16 points. Teammate Durward
Smith and Doyle Brunson each
had 12 points. Freshman Harry
Guthmuller had 13 points and
Buck Young 15 for the Aggies.
Larry Roberts who was injured
Monday night in the Texas West-
ern game returned to the lineup
against the Aggies.
The Border title will rest upon
the outcome of two games next
week Arizona-West Texas State
game at Tucson Monday night
and the Hardin-Simmons Twn!
Tech game at Lubbock Tuesday.
Can Win Outright
Arizona or Hardin-Simmons can
win the title outright should the
Other los!e. while Texas TVh
can gain a one-third or one-fourth
share of the title by defeating the
uowDoys providing Arizona also
lost to the Buffaloes from Canyon.
The Red Raiders must defeat Ari-
zona State at Flagstaff in order
to remain in position to gain at
least a tie for the title.
Coach Scott was particularly
proud of Smith's action against
the Aggies pointing out that the
Cisco senior dunked points at
strategic times to keep the Cow-
boys in the ball game.
