A severe case of jitters, a late
start and the inability to score
when needed proved too much for
Abilene’s three college cage teams
Friday night as they bowed to two
intersectional foes and one South-
west Conference team.
Coach Bill Scott's Hardin-
Simmons Cowboys, playing before
a capacity crowd of 4,000 fans,
had a severe case of jitters in
Cheyenne, Wye. as they fell be-
fore Wyoming University, 68-49.
Abilene Christian’s Wildcats, tal-
tying only one field goal in the
initial quarter, got a late start that
was a big factor in suffering s 79-
47 loss to the Texas Christian Uni-
versity Frogs.
Out In Las Cruces, N. M. Coach
Edgar Payne's McMurry Indians
fought down to the wire before los-
ing an intersectional tussle with
the New Mexico A&M Aggies, 59-
54. Lack of scoring punch when
needed proved costly for the Red-
men.
Captain James Ed Brown paced
the Wildcats st Fort Worth as he
dropped in two field goals and nine
tree tosses for 13 points. Close be-
hind was Freshman Forward Jack
McCall, who tallied 12.
Ohlen, Hoyt, and Warren led the
Froggies, tallying ST points between
them.
Sophomore Guard Ronnie Ryan
paced the losing Cowboy attack
with nine points, only two coming
via the field throw route and sev-
en from the charity line.
Tom Burks. Bob Tremaine and
Delnor Post each tied for runner-
up honors for the Pokes with eight
points each.
The Cowboys registered only 12
field goals during the encounter
while Wyoming netted 26 floor
shots.
Captain Jerry English captured
high point honors for McMurry by
hitting the loop for 12 points
against the New Mexico Aggies.

RANGER, Dec. 19 — Ranger’s
Bulldogs, on the short end of a 6-0
score at halftime, kindled a lire
under their vaunted offense last
night and railed into the Class A
finals by tripping Clifton, 21-6.
The Bulldogs meet Luling next
week for the state crown at a site
not yet determined.
The publicized Ranger offense
didn't function until the second
half and Clifton’s shifty backs found
the going to their liking is the
first two periods.
Ranger concentrated on Quarter-
back Bobby Conrad, and their
efforts worked well enough to hold
the high-scoring Clifton boy to mi-
nus six yards. But Conrad merely

ceptiveness to advantage in decoy-
ing Ranger defensive men.
Some 4,000 fans didn’t see the
real Bulldogs until after the color-
ful halftime ceremonies.
It was then that Halfback
Charles Massegee put his talents
to work in earnest and sliced up
Cliftons line co three touchdown
gallops.
Speedy Outlaw
Outlaw set up Clifton’s touch-
down late in the first quarter,
speeding down the sideline with a
punt return, and grinding to a halt
only after he had reached Ran-
ger’s 27-yard-line.
Conrad scored eight plays later
from the one-foot-line just as the
clock closed the last 15-second gap
in the quarter. Ranger Guard Bob-
by Justice blocked Conrad's kick.
On the ensuing kickoff Masse-
gee gave the overflow crowd a
super thrill, taking the ball on Ran-
ger's IS and evading the entire
Clifton team to race SS yards
for a score. But Ranger was off-
sides on the kick and the little
parson's efforts were in vain.

Illinois Wesleyan had a tie, 50-50,
