Series
Benson High Point Man
Teachers Defense Is Tough;
Simmonsites Connect
At Long Range
With an aggressive display of court
hustling Hardin-Simmons basketoors
came back into old form Thursday
evening and drubbed East Texas
Teachers 41 to 30 to even a two
frame series. For a better part of 40
minutes the Cowhands in addition to
turning in a perfect performance at
the foul line by sinking 13 free shots
kept the Lions who had roared so
effectively on the previous night well
in check throughout. The Commerce
quintet had dealt the Ranchers a sur-
prise lacing 43 to 28 Wednesday
night.
Closely guarded by a "revived"
Cowboy quintet the East Tcxans were
forced to connect from long range in
ordor to ring up most of their bas-
kets. Bow sharp-shooting forward
contacted tho bucket from mid-court
for 6 of his team's 11 field goals
Benson snatched scoring' honors with
a tabulation of 17 points for the eve-
ning and 20 for the series. Russell
who had tied with his teammate Bow
for the first game's high point laurels
was held to three tallies.
Crashing ahead from the outset in
the opening tusscl until at tho inter-
mission the score stood in their favor
27 to T the lanky East Texas or-
ganization protected their 20 point
lead to ring up a decisive victory.
The long range1 firing of both Bow
and Russell featured tho evening's
program. The smooth passing Lions
mixed their shots for most of their
poorly contosted tallies against the
ragged Ranchers.
However tho second game was a
different story. The Ranchers came
fighting back and were never behind
after the first few minutes. Calla
way and Hall among others stood
out on the defense. Profiting by the
previous evening's experience they
kept the ball out of the visitors' poses-
sion most of the night and confined
most of their shooting to outsido the
foul line. Scroggins at tip-off equaled
the performance of Connor towering
center from Commerce.

SPLIT
Freshmen Drop First Game To Lamesa 35 To 29
BANK SHOTS
By Mich
Basketball is reputedly a brisk and
right lovable sport played by ten
men five on each side. The object
is said to be for each TEAM to drop
a ball through a hoop as many times
ns possible and to keep the other side
from scoring. Individual participants
work together with the object of team
victory. Many tcajms win oftener
when it is for the TEAM that the
participating parties do their partici-
pating. There arc no tic basketball games.
The extra periods see to that. Right
now wo are not interested in why
teams win. There arc among oth-
ers two good reasons why teams lose.
Hard luck and the other side play-
ing a little better arc the most com-
mon reasons. Another is that tho
otherwise superior quintet is suffer-
ing from a seigo of sore spot dis-
sension. Sore spots take many and various
forms. Sclcnco in not even sure of
their existence... But it is said they
crop out seldom and are very dan
gerous for the morale. Their bitterly
resented encrustations if one part
really was infected change the cs-
pects of the outlook of the whole.
If tho outlook of the TEAM is
changed from the cardinal direction
which should be TEAM welfare then
the vital integral of cohesion ceases
to exist and the object of the game
is changed.
There are few cures for sore spots
thaf are not 'drastic. However the
doctor's only painless prescription is
patience and comprehension of the
faults in others and in yourself. Take
this medicine earnestly and the sore
spot will cease to be if one existed.
The result is that the purposeless
atoms knit themselves back into the
molecule and the healthy idea that the
TEAM make as many baskets as pos-
sible is revived.
There's something in the air about
fourteen junior college stars laying
scige to the campus next fall.
With this number and six or seven
of tho hustling fish tho lettermen are
duo a right healthy scramble for tho
varsity slots.
This week comes the news of tho
reslcmation of Coach Cranfill. Our
wish is the best of luck to the man
we have always known as a good
fellow and a square-shooter. Among
other things. Coach can boast a re-
cord of five successive years of court
supremacy for his basketball quin-
tets. We wish him still greater suc-
cess in the future.
The wire has been loaded with
flashes from our grapevine corre-
spondents as to who will take Coach's
place. 'Tis said by those in the know
that six or seven well-known pros-
pects for the position have tossed
their hats in tho ring. Somo of tho
boys down at tho corner say that even
Dock and Undo John are figuring on
getting the place. But who knows?
Tho football captains have been
elected and if ever there was a brace
of team leaders with hotter prospects
for a successful future with their
eleven well we don't know who tho
couple be unless it's tho captains at
Rice.

Jonesboys Doped
As Winners In Hot
Intramural Race
Shorthorns Probably Second
And Have Chance To
Gain Tie
Scoring Records Set
Seagrams 5 Crowns Downed
By League Leaders
In Wild Fight
The Jonesboys quintet favored as
winners of tho intra-mural basketball
tournament will meet the Blood-
hounds in the final game of the tour-
nament this nfternoon. Tho Short-
horns best threat for runner-up in
tho tournament will play the Prairie
Racers in the other game of the after-
noon. Tho Jonesboys who nro now leading
the scoring list with a perfect score
did a neat job of setting records for
the tournament last Tuesday when
they ran over the Seagram Five
Crowns to tho tune of 73-12. This
was the highest score to bo mado by
any team as well as tho largest num
ber of points to bo made by both
teams in any game of tho tourna
ment. Rigsby Joncsboy forward also
set a record in the field of highest
individual scoring in ono game by
accounting for 26 points of the 73.
Brumbclow center for the Jonesboys
was following a close second for this
honor with 25 points.
The Shorthorns arc rating second
in tho tournament with five victories
and one loss. This team should be
able to wfn over the "Prairie Racers
this afternoon. If this should hap
pen and tho Bloodhounds should vio-
late all predictions by defeating the
Jonesboys the tournament would end
in a tio between the Jonesboys and
Shorthorns Such an outcome is not
probable however.
The Prairie Racers who were run-
ning with th) Jonesboys and tho
Shorthorns at the top of tho scoring
list last week fell from this position
this week by losing all games played.
Tho hardest game of the tourna-
ment was played Thursday afternoon
when tho Jonesboys barely nosed out
tho Prairie Racers 37 to 31. The
Jonesboys were completely covered up
in the first quarter and scored only
3 points while the Racers ran up 13.
At the end of the second period the
Prairie Boys wero barely leading 20-
17. The score was fairly even dur
ing the first part of the second half
but toward the end of tho game the
Racer defense weakened and the
Jones crew was ablo to stack up a
neat lead in order to keep its place
at tho head of the tournament.
The Cardinal Club by winning all
of their games played this week
raised their standing from the bot
tom to fourth place.
Threo teams The Nasty Nine Sea-
gram Fivo Crowns and tho Shooting
Stars aro all tied for last place in
the tournament race. Each of these
three teams has one victory and five
losses to their credit.

Trinity University
To Meet Cowhand
Quintet January 21
Is Conference Opener For
Cranf ill's Green
Ranchers
Trinity University will start a vet-
eran tenm against the Hardin-Simmons
sophomore Cowboy team when
the two clubs meet Monday night
January 21.
This will be the first conference
game of the season for Coach Les
Cranfill's inexporienced team. The
Trinity Tigers played their first con-
ference game about a week ago de-
feating the highly rated Austin Col-
lege quintet 47 to 40.
Coach Wilkins veteran Tiger team
consists of six lettermen and three
outstanding new men. They are:
Raymond Miller and Key Turner for-
wards; Cecil Botts center; Jew
Wokeland Robert Crooks and Henry
Gibbs forwnrds. The new men are:
"Sleepy" Pruet former Woxahachle
high star; Ed Bost star guard from
Decatur College; and Joe Mitchell a
guard who played on the champion-
ship Temple Junior College quintet.
The entire Cowhand team is made
up of sophomores with the exception
of Ira Ribble who is a junior.
Tho Wranglers probable starting
lineup will be Benson and Harris
forwards Terry and Hall guards;
and Scroggins center. This starting
lineup will average about six feet
2 1-2 inches per man in height. Re-
serve material is James and Ribble
forwards; White Calloway and
Bridges guards; and Wheeler and
Mosley centers.
Tho last time these two clubs met
was in 1028 on an outdoor court in
Waxahachie. Trinity Von this game
32 to 29 costing the Cowboys n tie
for the Texas conference champion-
ship. Coaches Cranfill and Wilkins
were coaches of tho two quintets
that year also.
Under the tutelage of Coach Les
Cranfill the Hardin-Simmons Cow-
boys have lost only three conference
basketball gunes in the last fivo
years nnd none of these defeats wero
administered in the Cowboy Corral.
To keep good this impressive record
the inexperienced Cowhands must
stop the favored Trinity aggregation
Monday night.
