SHINER COMANCHES
LOSE REGIONAL
In the first half of the prelimi-
nary game of the regional meet
between the Shiner Comanches
and the Thomas Jefferson quint
from San Antonio, the rangy
r Mustangs threw everything but
the officials through the hoop be-
fore the stage-struck Braves
could hit their stride. Coach
Hamilton contemplated sending
in his second string at the outset
of the second half, but was soon
glad that he changed his mind,
for the purple and gold five from
Shiner, with Cimrhanzel and Sof-
ka leading the way and Baca do-
ing a good job of keeping 6 foot
4 inch Kinney away from the
basket, began to match his team
basket for basket. The Coman-
ches made 15 points to 12 for the
Mustangs the second half, but
the lead was too much to over-
come, and the game ended 32 to
19 with the Santone five on the
long end of the score. Height
under the basket was the deter-
/ mining factor with the two boys
~ r and more being too
he Shiner lads,
her games of the pre-
' V ^ hustling Yancey
tea......s almost an equal for the
Temple five, but the boys of the
rail and spike town eked out a 29
to 26 victory.
Shiner won the consolation
game from Yancey by a score of
29 to 25. Before the game the
Comanches elected James Cimr-
hanzel to captain the 1938 team,
and he showed splendid leader-
ship in the victory.
A tired bunch of Mustangs
from San Antonio were very glad
to i^ar the final whistle that end-
ed the final game, giving them a
25 to 24 victory over the Temple
five. Just after the whistle
sounded a Temple boy sunk a
basket which would have meant
the margin of victory for his
team, but the time keepers said
he was just a fraction of a second
too late. Ball, star Mustang for-
ward, and a Temple guard were
ejected from the game for the
caresses they attempted to be-
stow upon each other under1 the
Thomas Jefferson basket.
