SPORTS
By DUANE
One evening during the past
Christmas holidays this corner
"SLwltnessed the best basketball
"' game ever ocularizcd by this par-
ticular pair of peepers.
Hardin - Simmons' own Cow-
hand cagcrs after leading the
floor show through the entire
contest (with exception of the in-
augural seconds) were .barely
nipped 4645 by Texas Christian.
If the Ranchers display their
court savvy in similar fashion
through the rest of the campaign
their efforts will have molded
them into a right creditable quint.
Although an occasional
splotch of wildness wai evident
the game wai not the utual
rough and tumble affair the
Cowboya are accustomed to
playing. Instead it was very
fast and coordination between
the Ranchers was colossal.
Woodsonmen Win
Final Bowl Game
Marshall TCU
r Defeat Cowboys
The Marshall college Thunder-
ing herd and the TCU Horned
Frogs downed the Cowboy ca-
gcrs by scores of 62-59 and 46-45
respectively in close games play-
ed during the holiday season in
Rose field house December 21
and 29.
The Marshall college cagcrs
came from behind late in the
lost period to beat the scrappy
Cowboy team by a margin of
three points. With eight minutes
to go in the game the Cowboys
were in the lead. Later in the con-
test Gene James tallied two points
to break a 58-58 tic and put the
Herd on the victory road.
Pete Golson of the Cowboys
copped high point honors with 14
points closely followed by Wayne
Preston with 13 and Jay Cox
who had 12 to his credit.
v The second loss for the Ranch-
trers saw the Ranchers lose in the
last two seconds of play when
TCU's Frank Kudlathy made a
field goal. With three minutes
left in the game the Cowboys
were ahead 43-39 but the Frogs
went ahead 44-43 with less than
a minute remaining.
Slats Stagner of the Cowboys
tied up the ball game with a free
throw and then Kudlathy tossed
in his basket
High point man of the evening
was Dolnics of the rival team
with a total of 17 points. Stagner
and Golson led the Cowboys in
the scoring department with 15
and 11 points respectively.

ROUNDUP
SANDLIN
Troublesome little Larry
(Mouse) Wartes was an extremely
irritating element in the Horned
Frog offense. The alertness and
foresight of the Cowboy "trouble-
shooter" was preponderant. The
little guard's drive and speed kept
him in pace with the ball almost
every second.
Slats Stagner was largely re-
sponsible for good coordination
amongst the H-SU five. The
preacher boy plays a very sturdy
and consistent type of ball and is
a natural for teamwork.
Without doubt Pete Golson
is the most improved basketeer
of the squad since last year.
While Golson shows marked
improvement at ball handling
his greatest asset is his ability
at the board on rebounds. Since
last year he has developed from

Five touchdowns through the
air and two by the ground route
proved too much for the Wichita
University Shockers in the Ca-
mellia Bowl feature at Lafayette
Louisiana December 30 as the
Hardin-Slmmons Cowboys won
their final bowl game of the sea-
son 49-12 without the aid of their
number one ground threat Hook
Davis who was injured. The aerial
might was furnished in the main
by chunker Johnny Ford and the
receiving of Bob McChesney.
Tabbed before the game as a
thriller every minute the contest
failed to live up to expectations
during most of the first half
though the Shockers first play
from scrimmage showed the fans
what could break loose at any
minute. A Wichita pass from Ed-
die Kriweil to Anton Houlik was
good for 41 yards to place the
ball on the Cowboy 37. In 13
plays Houlik plowed over for the
initial marker.
The Cowboys retaliated early in
the second period when Pat Bai-
ley climaxed an 81 yard drive
with the tying touchdown. Paul
Bailey put the Ranchers ahead
with the first of his seven perfect
placement kicks for the afternoon
bringing his season total to 45
out of 50 attempts. With only 20
seconds to go in the half Ford
and McChesney collaborated on
the first of their four touchdown
efforts "for the Cowboys second
touchdown in a play that covered
71 yards in the air and on the
ground. McChesney took the ball
at a dead run on the Wheatshock-
ers 38 and covered the rest of the
distance to the goal.

Ranchers Hang Up Cleats
With Impressive Records
In taking a backward glance
and a final goodbye to the Cow-
boy eleven of 1948 one could
easily start with spring training
and end with a team that travel-
ed farther and played in more
bowl games than any other team
in the nation.
The team was not successful
in the win column as many of
the Cowboy teams of the past
but showed much color and spirit
all season. They well earned the
title of "Flying Cowboys" by
traveling some 11000 air miles or
16000 ground miles to play bowl
and intcrsectional games.
Individual Honors
Conference honors again fell
upon members of the Cowboy
squad. All - Conference honors
went to End Bob McChesney
Quarterback John Ford and Half-
back Wilton "Hook" Davis. Placed
on the second team were tackle
Leon Cooper and Pat Bailey at
halfback. Davis was chosen by
several teams and coaches as the
outstanding open field runner in
the Border Conference this past
season. He was chosen by Col-
liers magazine on the All-Southwestern
team with such notables
as .Lindy Berry of TCU Doak
Walker of SMU and Clyde Scott
of Arkansas.
According to figures put out
by the NCAA including only the
regular 'schedule and not count-
ing the three bowl games the
Cowboys in eight games ranked
as follows: In total offense they
were placed 5th with 398.3 yards
per game. In rushing offense H-
SU rated 8th with 268.6 yards
per game. The team over the
regular season ranked second in
the Border Conference total of-
fense with 3413 yards led only
by Texas Mines with 3725.
Top Passer
In the individual ranks Ford
was placed 7th in total rushing
and 9th in forward passing. He
was first in percentage completed
with .624. Ford was also the
leading passer in the conference
with 72 completions out of 121
attempts for 1114 yards.
End Bob McChesney was third
in the nation in pass receiving
with. 32 catches for 344 yards
and also led the conference. In
the post season games these ranks
were raised both individually

Bob Surratt Guard
Bob Surratt often called the
most unpublicized man on the
Cowboy football squad has been
a standout in the H-SU line dur-
ing the past season. Coming from
Altus Oklahoma Bob entered
Hardin-Simmons last January.
He was runner-up for the out-
standing lineman honors of the
Ouachita game in the Shrine
Bowl at Little Rock December 18.

school Bob earned three letters
each in basketball football and
baseball. After finishing higli

at Lawton Oklahoma where he
earned two letters in addition to
making the Oklahoma Junior
College All-conference team and

The Cowboy lineman Js unde-
cided as to his future but is now
majoring in physics and plans a
minor in mathematics. He will
be in the Cowboy lineup when the
'49 football season rolls around.

and as a team in national stand-

that first spring afternoon not
finding in its ranks such 1947
standouts as Red Cleveland Joe

carried the Cowboy colors to
glory in seasons passed.

Play Miners Here
Next Wednesday
. The Hardin-Simmons Cowboys
play Arizona State of Flagstaff
tonight in the last game of their
first western swing of the season.
The game to be played in Flag-
staff is the third in a "one a day
brand" that has seen the Ranch-
ers meeting Arizona and Tempe
on consecutive nights beginning
Thursday January 6.
Wednesday night of next week
will bring the H-SU quintet back
on their home floor as they en-
tertain the Texas College of
Mines in their last game before
mid-term exams.
Before beginning the road trip
the Ranchers had garnered two
conference wins both at the ex-
pense of the Arizona State col-
leges. They have won only two of
five non-conference games play-
ed to date. They won over South-
western of the Texas conference
66-32 and beat Howard Payne
52-35. The Cowboys were routed
by he world champion Phillips
Oilers C0-45 and lost close last
second decisions to Marshall Col-
lege and Texas Christian. The
Marshall five of the West Virginia
conference came out on the long
end of a 62-59 score and the TCU
Frogs of the Southwest loop beat
the Ranchers 46-45.

man Leon Cooper to mention a
few proved to the coach that
there was a great team in the
making for 1948.
It was at Cincinnati on the
campus of the University of Cin-
cinnati that the Cowboys opened
their 1948 grid season with a
hard fought 7 to 7 tie. With the
statistics with them they still had
to fight from behind to obtain
one of three season deadlocks.
