By GENE PEMBERTON
Brand Sports Writer
The Hardin-Simmons Cowboys
' have returned home from a three-
i game swing into the West where
they dropped all three matches.
The Pokes fell to the Air Force
Academy Falcons 81-76 in an
overtime to Regis College 77-65
and to Wyoming 73-52.
In the road trip opener Wednes-
day sophomore Don Seamster
' hit two pressure-packed free
throws to bring the Cowboys to
a 68-68 tie after regulation time
before the Air Force roared back
i for 13 points in the overtime
period to pull out the win. The
Falcons led through most of the
game and won the game at the
free throw line. They sank 23 free
throws to 18 for the Cowboys
while each team counted 29 field
goals. The Pokes were very cold
in the early stages of the game
and could not grab the lead from
their shorter opponents until they
went ahead 62-61 late in the
game.
' For the night H-SU hit 25 of
68 field goal attempts for a 36.8
percentage which was the lowest
of the season.
Don Seamster paced the Cow-
boys' scoring with 19 points fol-
lowed by Richard Nelson's 18 hit-
ting 10 of 10 free throws. Paul
Hinds grabbed eight off the
boards.
For the Air Force big Butch
Vicellio pitched in 27 points and
pulled down 15 rebounds.
In the second game of the ill-
l fated trip Regis College thumped
the Pokes 77-65 in Denver. H-SU
could only count three field goals
all by Dallas Christian in the
first eight minutes and then
played catch up the rest of the
night. Regis saw their lead cut to
20-17 before pulling ahead 39-26
at the half.
H;SU moved into a zone de-
fense in the second half and cut
V the Regis lead to 45-37. However
at this point Ben Wesley came
of fthebench and tallied 17 points
in the final 13 minutes to insure
the victory. The win evened Reg-
is' record at 1-1 and left the Cow-
boys with a 2-3 mark.
Paul Hinds tossed in 18 points
and grabbed 12 rebounds and Don
Seamster added 17 points to lead
the Cowboys in alosing cause. Ben
Welsey paced the Regis attack
with 18 points.

ing. H-SU missed their first 10
field goal attempts in falling
quickly behind. Wyoming led at

After trailing 32-28 at inter-
mission the Pokes staged an
early rally in the second half to
roar ahead 46-41 on Seamster's
5 points and Nick Wilson's 4
points. Hinds aided a tip-in and
Dallas Christian hit one from 15
out to give the Pokes their widest
margin of thenight.
With 8:40 to go the Indians
tied it up at 50 all. The lead ex-
changed hands until a success-
ful Cowboy stall paid off at the
free throw line with Hinds
dumping in the go-ahead points.
Five Cowboys hit in the
double figures. Hinds was high
man with 14 points. Seamster
Christian and Wilson all had
twelve and Richard Nelson
picked up 10. Johnnie Carol
csored 13 to pace Midwestern.
Midwestern's Jayvees downed
the H-SU Bottons for the second
time this season 90-67. Jim Bray

tons now have 3-5 season mark.
