Rams Snap Losing Streak, Skin Tigers 49-4
SPORT SCOPE
BY BUZ Ill IMilNS
HOW MANY TIMES have I been asked in the past two weeks,
•When are the Rams going to win a game?" That is a hard queatioa
to answer. I imagine that Coach Dan Hart has been asked the k*m»
question innumerable times.
1 ANSWER THE QUESTION* the same way 1 answer th« ques-
tion, "When is the-world coming to an end?" No one knows when,
but there's one sure statement that, can be made to botli queries. Some-
time in the future. It is inevitable.
(TWis column is being written Thursday before the East Texas Bap-
list game. I look for the Ranis to win that game or at least give the
Tigers a tough time. Because of these facts, this column may be out
of date. I surely hope so.)
JERRY LEWIS ONCE REMARKED, after someone read on an ap-
plication form that he ha<l.,filled out stating that he was a boxer, that
that wasn't so; he was really a cocker spaniel. Speaking of boxers, did
you see the picture of Randy Reynolds in the Star-Telegram last week?
Stepping in the ring with that guy would be like diving head first
in a bag of wildcats. Reynolds won the novice heavyweight crown in
the Regional Golden Gloves meet last week. The poor underfed kid
weighed only 281 pounds.
LOOK OUT ! ! ! Poly Methodist's basketball team is on the loose.
They have played and won three league games. Potent stuff, what?
THREE BOAZ HALL INHABITANTS started track meets a little
early this year, I understand. (I realize that this is the way rumpw'
get started, but. I heard it the same way that you did.) , /
I UNDERSTAND, from undisclosed sources, that three st^ijt^boys
decided to run around the Administration Building last week, when the
Sleet was falling, in bathing suits, no less. That is straight coM turkey!
ACCORDING TO THE Star-Telegram, the Harlem Globetrotters,
the Honolulu Surfriders, the Kansas City All-Stars, and George Ander-
son's original bewhiskered House of David quintet will play the final
two games of a quadruple bill of fun, frolic and basketball Feb. 2 at
Rose Field House on the H-SU campys in Abilene. In addition to those
games, the Cowboys and the Freshman team will play games with NTSC
and Howard County Junior College.
PAUL RICHARDS, manager of the Chicago White Sox has made
what one day may be, an immortal statement: "It takes more ability
to play baseball than any other game. The demands of one big-league
double play are equal to scoring 1,000 points in basketball. The hitting
of a big-league home run is equal, in competitive spirit, to 1,000 bas-

Nothing At Stake
Cagers Challenge Cowboys
Saturday in Rec Building
A team with a record very simi-
lar to TWC's and equipped with
similar talent as far as experience
is concerned arrives in Fort Warth
Saturday with the express purpose
of engaging the Rams in 40 min-
utes of extra-curricular activity.
This prolonged and exaggerated
contest of skill and precise timing
in putting a melon-shaped ball
through an 18-inch hoop will take
jiJace purely for the joy of engag-
ing in muscular exertion. The game
is a non-conference affair.
The Cowboys of Hardin-Simmons
University, who sported a wonder-
ful record of 3 wins and 10 loses
before Saturday's game with How-
. ard Payne, are in no position to set
the sporting world on fire when
they engage the Rams on the Rec-
reation Building pinewoods.
.—*' Basketball Will Stay
TWC is not abandoning liasket-
t>all after establishing its new
school record for niost loses in one
season Tuesday against St. Ed-
ward's, as some have suggested. It
will field the required five players
at 8 p. m. Saturday. For what-
ever entertainment value may be
obtained from this contest of bas-
ketball's also-rans, the student body
and the public are cordially invited
to attend.
Coach Dan Hart? of the Rams and
Bill Scott of Hardin Simmons are
plagued by two similar facts of life
in conducting their hardwood wars.
That disquieting fact of life is in-
nocence. In other words, inexperi-
ence.
Cowboys Inexperienced
Every player on the Cowboys'
14 man squad except two are soph-
omores. The two seniors are 6-3
Wade Burroughs and 6-1 Tom
Burks. To go with these two-year
lettermen Coach Scott has Ronnie
Ryan and 6-6 Bob Tremaine, po-
tentially one of Hardin Simmons
most outstanding) cagers. Last sea-
son Tremaine sei^an all-time sea-
son Record with the Cowboys as a
freshman.
TWC Situation Well Known
Four of the Cowboy starters
from .last year are gone, leaving
only Tremaine as a nucleus for
this year's team. However, the
Cowpokes haven't been doing as
badly as their seasonal record in-
dicates. They possess a 2-3 read-
ing in the tough Border Confer-
once. And their opponents have
been any thing but pushovers. They
have played such toughies as Ok-
lahoma A&M, Oklahoma City, Mid-
western, and Wyoming.
Tuesday Hardin Simmons was
clubbed by Texas Tech, 78-66.
Coach Hart's situation with a
tall but inexperienced team is too
well known to Ram backers. He
will probably counter the Cowboys
with five of these: Eill (Big
Bill) Minnis, Jim Bridges, Ray
Jefferson, Jerry Buck, John Friday,
Paul Prater, Jim Shawver, Don
Bice, Eddie Chipman, Pat Sim-
mons, or maybe even Manager
Gerald Baum.
If worst comes to worst
scorekeeper Clarence ' Canafax
might be pressed into service.
Intramural Basketball Starts Feb. 3
Intramural basketball will begin
Wednesday, Feb. 3, at '6:30 p. m.
in the gym with the Sophs going
against the Fish in the firsfgame.
Juniors and the seniors will play
the nightcap at 7:30. Juniors are
defending champions but the other
classes loom as possible threats to
make sure that the juniors don't
repeat.
Back for the Seniors this year
are the number two and number
three scoring men from the 1953
season. Bill Brey, intramural cap-
tain, and Jerrell Newton, seniors,
both all-intramural choices la^,t
year, scored 72 and 66 points re-
spectively.
Back for the juniors this year
is all-intramural Tony Hernandez,
leading scorer in intramural bas-
ketball for the past two years. Last
year he scored 91 points for a 15.2
point-per-game average.
Kendall Bond, second team all-
Ram «intramural last year, is back for
the seniors. Bond) was the num-
ber eight scorer with 43 points.

last year's all-intramural squad is j Brown was fourth place scorer
Jimmy Brown, known for his hus- [with 59 points for the six-game
tie and rebounding ability, as well j season.

St. Edward's Laces TWC
70-46, Hellet Scores 27
The fast train, which is carry-
ing the Racing Rams on their cur-
rent record-breaking losing streak,
gained momentum last Tuesday in
the Rec. Hall when the diminutive
Hilltoppers from St. Edwards' sped
past the Rams, 70-46. " ■:r>
Buck Starts Scoring
The St. Ed's quintet were never
trailing the Rams with the excep-
tion of the opening minutes of the
game when Jerry Buck looped in
two quick one-handers t6 give the
Rams a short and futile four-point
lead.
The game seemed to be entirely
in the hands of Jack (the Turk)
Hellet as, time after time, he
swished jumped and crib shot. Jack
was 10 points off his moSt sterling
performance when he looped in 37
counters against East Texas Bap-
tist last year, to set a Big State
Conference record.
Offense Battles Rams
However, it was not only Hellet
that meant the 24-point difference,
as St. Ed's deep offetise kept the
Rams, off guard most of the night.
Several times when the Rams werp
using" their full-court press, the
Hilltoppers would have a man
completely unguarded. Thus, an-
other two points were counted.
Three Rams hit the double fig-
ures as Big Bill Minnis and Jim
Bridges garnered a dozen apiece
and Buck hit five buckets from the
field. Five of the remaining seven
men on the Ram roster pooled
their points for another dozen,
rounding out the home scoring.
Hellet's 27 points and Ron Bel-
la's 16 combined for 60 per cent of
the scoring by the Austin quintet.
Hilltopper coach Ed Norris used 10
men and all of them managed to
scratch the scoring column.
The Rams face a tough Cowboy
squad from Harhin-Siminons of
Abilene Saturday night. The Rams
lost to HSU last year when a hot
rally died midway in the fourth
quarter.
