HARTLEYS HOTSHOTS TAKE
FLORENCE B. B. TOURNEY
-y. y; y* y y y
Weiss Leads Team To Wins Over
Hutto, Lampasas, And Salado
Bill Hartley’s Hotshots, local in-
dependent basketball team, walked
off with first place honors in the
Florence Invitation Basketball
Tournament last week.
The Hotshots wre led by Big
Leroy Weiss, Weldon Mays, and
Aubrey Boozer, all of whom prov-
ed to be three of the hottest shots
of all the teams entered. During
the tournament thu local team
played three games, tjie first with
Hutto, the second with Lampasas,
and the third ' with high-riding
Salado. The Hotshots w‘ere never
behind in any game and clearly
demonstrated their superiority in
every department of play in every
game they entered.
The Hotshots won their first
game with Hutto by the comfor-
table margin of 48-39. In that
game Aubrey Boozer was the big
gun in the Hotshots attack lend-
ing them to victory with 1.4 points.
The victory laurels, however, must
be divided among every man who
entered the game, as t- uiy all play-
ed extremely smooth ball. The
Hotshots close guarding < f their
high scoring opononts was one
of their deciding margins of vic-
tory throughout tournament play,
and their passing, shooting, and
backboard game was consistently
head and shoulders above that dis-
played by any other team.
In the second game with Lam-
pasas, the team that the night be-
fore had defeated Bill Zimmer-
man’s team 36 to 34, in the last
minute of play, Hartley’s- team
walked away with the scoring ho-
nors. The final score was 59 to 41,
and could easily have been twenty
or thirty points worse. The Lam-
pasas team consistently were the
worst losers, and most unsports-
manlike team that entered the
tourney, and they continually
moaned about the caliber of the
officiating, which in fact was far
above average: Late in the fpurth
quarter of the Hotsihot-Lampasas
, game, aa the Hotshots held a 25
point lead, the Lampasas changed
their complaint from the officiat-
ing to a gripe about the clasa which
Hartley’s men were showing and
threatened to walk off the court
without finishing the game. How-
ever, they were persuaded to com-
plete the contest but Hartley’s men
were so tired of hearing nothing
but complaints from Lampasas
that they slacked off and allowed
the losers to score 12 points in the
last three minutes of the game.
, Leroy W^iss, played heads up ball
Jed the Hotshots in the scoring
department, racking up 24 points
in just two and a half quarters of

play. When Weiss was removed
from the game half way through
the third quarter, he had the bas-
kets smoking. He just couldn’t
miss, shooting from every angle,
close in and far out, and tipping
in. In addition Weiss rebounding
the ball under both baskets was
one of the deciding factors in the
Hotshots convincing win. Coach
Bill Hartley also found the range,
anti in the short time he allowed
himself to play, racked up 10^
points.
In the final game of the tourney,
the local team defeated the red-
hot Salado club, 40-26. Both teams
played hard, clean basketball, with I
the ..eight of Boozer and Weiss,
and the ball hawking of Mays and !
Parmele again proving to be the
de.iApig factor. Late in the tail'd
quarter Salado caught on fire and
pulled to within live points of the
Hotshot load. But .lacs Ned1, who
played steady ball every game fiv-j
ed a set shot from far out, and
liit. That shot seemed to be the j
turning point L(u.t broke Salado'
lack, and tic locals went on to an
easy win.
At the conclusion of the last !
game the tournament committee :
presented the winning teams with
their trophies, and the six men on j
Liit* all tournament team with their j
gold basketballs.
The final results of the tourney j
were .artley’s Hotshots, first |
pi, ; « Salado, second place; and
Morenae, third place.
Hartley’s champs placed two
men on the mythical team. They
were Leroy Weiss, the outstanding
man on any team in the meet, and
Weldon Mays, whose steady, heads
up play, ball hawking, and consis-
tant shooting made him one of the
most valuable men on the team.
Also Buddy Priest, another
Southwestern student playing with
Florence made the honorary team.
Box scores were not available,
but the complete roster of the
Florence Invitation Tournament
Champs is: Bill Hartley, player-
coach; Aubrey Boozer, forward;
Leroy Weis's, center; Weldon Mays,
guard; Dan Parmele, guard, Jack

With one more night of play
left, the Intramural Basketball
league draws to a close after one
of the closest seasons in a long
time. The7 final week of play has
seen several very exciting and close
games; the KA-Sig game, requir-
ing an over-time period, kept the
crowd on its feet throughout the
extra five minutes as the two ri-
vals fought it out. The KA’s final-
ly came out on top with a 35-32
victory. For the KA’s it was Carue
Bean leading his team with 17
points, while Taylor was high man
for the Sigs with 13 points.

* The Mask and Wig has had a
better, seasonal record than the
basketball team. In the drama line
S. U. is batting 1000 with the prod-
uction of first, “Winterset” and
now “Arsenic and Old Lace”. There
may be many reasons for this good
record, but one reason in the form
of Dr. Helmuth Hormann seems to
be the most outstanding. It is
truly amazing how little Bredit is
given to those in the drama dep-
artment who are really deserving.
Dr. Hormann, who has been moth-
er, father and guardian angel to
all the work done in his depart-
ment this year, seems always to
be in the background when the
backs are being patted and the
sincere and the insincere “Ohs” and
“Ahs” are being tossed about.

Dear, Dear Mr. Shires,
Overlooking the atrocious gram-
mar which you used in your very
thoughtful letter to this humble
and undeserving columnist, I will
herewith attempt to correct a few
of the other errors which I am
sure you unwittingly made.
You complained, in your philoso-
phical manner, that 1 was over
critical of what you yourself said
was not a masterpiece. I said, and
I quote . . . “the whole crazy deal
was more good time than has been
had in many if not all past assem-
blies”. Perhaps I went overboard
in my praise.
As for not being in the show, I
am a junior and therefore not eli-
gible to be in a sophomore pro-
duction. I wailed about this fact
long and loud, $ut I guess you
were to busy with bigger and bet-
ter things to pay much attention
to smalj fry such as myself. If I
had been eligible, I’m sure that
your amazing acting talents would
have so overshadowed mine that
any chance of my having the lead
would have been out of the ques-
tion.
I have had a talk with John Le-

vay and Diane Mattern on the
subject and they both thought that
what I had to say concerning the
show was very complimentary.
Those two being only the author
and the director of the opus do not
carry as much weight in their
opinions as do you, but at least I
will now be able to sleep at night.
In your closing paragraph you
said something about “Criticism
without point . . . ”. Don’t you think
that ,you pulled yourself down to
my level when you wrote your let-
ter? It is without doubt the most
pointless thing that has been in
the Megaphone in a long time and
brother that is pretty pointless!
The greatest blow to me was
your nasty-wasty flashing of, I
must admit, the smallest skeleton
in my closet. I hope you didn’t
have to Spend to much time mak-
ing sure whether or not I had my
picture taken for the annual . . .
if you did it was wasted. If you
will check a little farther you will
discover that my picture is at this
very moment at the engravers be-
ing made ready. I’ll bet you are
glad that your name does not be-
gin with an “H” so that your pic-
ture does not have to appear on
the same page with mine.
But I fear I have wasted too
much of your time . . . again you
must forgive me. I hope I haven’t
kept you from your toy soldiers.
Humbly yours,
Chip.
