The victory kept the Cowboys
in a possible tie for the Border
Conference championship with
Texas Western.
The Cowboys succeeded in
making 32 of a possible 41 free
throws and gathered 53 rebounds
while the Wildcats connected with
nine of 16 free throw attempts
and controlled 35 rebounds.
Although Bob Tremaine failed
to make a single field goal in
the second half he was the lead-
ing Cowboy scorer with 23 points
from seven field goals in the first
half and nine free throws in the
game. Carl Knight scored 14
points and led the team with 22
rebounds while Doyle Edmiston
garnered 17 rebounds.
Both teams were determined as
the score was tied 14 times with
the lead changing 13 times be-
fore the Cowboys went ahead to
stay with 10 minutes remaining
in the game. The Wildcats were
ahead at the half by 42-40. Ari-
zona failed to score at all for
seven and one-half minutes late
in the game as the Cowboys scor-
ed 13 points.
Six of the last eight points for
the Cowboys came from free
throws as the Wildcats tried to
press the stall by the Cowboys.
The. score 80-69 was the exact
score of the last game between
the Cowboys and Wildcats played
in Arizona.

Rodeo Team Still
Top In Intramurals
The Rodeo Team suffered their
first defeat in Ihtramural basket-
ball competition last week but
still held on to first place in the
Broncho League as the B-29's
continued to pace the Mustang
Loop with a perfect season rec-
ord. Upset by the Scroungers' 42-37
last week the Rodeo Team came
back Monday night to win an
overtime thriller from the Cow-
boy Band and take a narrow one-
game lead over the fast closing
Scroungers.
With Connie Baird popping the
nets for 20 points the B-29's won
their sixth straight game without
a loss last Tuesday night as they
defeated the Frat Boys 46-40. Bill
Voss hit 16 to pace the losers.
Crew Cuts Lose Sixlh
In the second tilt the Crew Cuts
again failed to crack the win
column as they were defeated by
the Ministerial Council. Gary
Cobb was high for the game as
the Council forward meshed 26
points. Norman Tankersley dunk-
ed 16 for the losers.
Wally Cayton's shooting from
the outside proved too much for
the Rodeo Team as the little guard
poured tnrough 14 points in lead-
ing the Scroungers to their upset
win 42-37. Freddie Kniffen was
high for the losers with 15.
The Flat Footed Five stayed
hot on the heels of the league
leading B-29's as they defeated
the Frat Boys 56-53 last Friday
despite a 26-point output by Bill
Voss. John Agee led the Five
with 16.
Spider Spins Web
Morris (Spider) Rhodes pumped
in three points in the last 17 sec-
onds as the Scroungers edged out
the Outcasts 46-44. Rhodes
shared scoring honors for the
winners with Wally Cayton as
each garnared 12. Game honors
went to Outcast guard James Hill
who meshed 17.
In one of the best games of the
season the Rodeo Team took a big

For all intents and purposes the Texas Western Miners
wrapped up the Border Conference Crown and a NCAA
playoff berth Monday night with their narrow win over the
Aggies but there still remains n fainf rQv t -uv jo.i
Cowboys yet. J 1WC m
-Its being rumored that the plimhilifir f fv.a iyr;
YY OM 4-rft w 4-1 n il 1-. . SW 1 T m
"xr """! uuu vname .Brown is nighly questionable.
Ui course this is all hearsay and nothing will probably come
of it but there seems to be a question as to the ethics the
El Paso school and coach have used in Brown's case.
It's true that the Negro star
came to tho Miners from Amarillo
Junior College which would make
him eligible but he's also report-
ed to have played for San Fran-
cisco (twice) and Oklahoma A &
M and if this is so he should be
declared ineligible. Whatever hap-
pens it appears the Miners have
pulled a fast one somewhere along
the line.
Knight Stars
The Cowboys are certainly to
be commended on their fine game
against the Arizona Wildcats last
Saturday night not only in their
fine play but in their mental at-
titude as well. It takes a good
team to bounce back after losing
a tough one like the Miner tilt.
Big Carl Knight played his best
game of the year in showing abil-
ity that enabled him to lead the
freshmen in scoring but which
had eluded him this season. A
great rebounder all season (the
28 he pulled off the boards Sat-
urday night was a new record)
Knight has been troubled all sea-
son by the shift from his natural
position at center to a forward
slot but from the way he looked
Saturday night there's liable to
be no stopping him next year.
Undoubtedly the return of Bob
