start at 7:30 p.m.
The Razorbacks have a good center
and one of the leading scorers in

Braeslield at forward are two other
boys who can pepper the basket and
get results. Kendall at the other for-
ward and Captain Gibson at guard
complete the supporting cast.

pole accounting lor 22 points.

of the most sensational shooting ever
directed at the auditorium goals. Ilis

under the personal supervision o! Cap-
tain Benny Stricklurd, center, and
Benny Clark, guard, gave the Owls a
