H-SU Netters Never Die;
They Just Grow to Fame
By GARY W. STRATTON
Brand Editor
Ever wonder what former Har-din-Simmons
basketball players
do when they finish school? Doyle
Edmiston who graduated from
Hardin-Simmons in 1959 still
wins basketball games. Only
now he wins them as a coach.
Edmiston the Cowboys' lead-
ing all-time rebounder and one of
the top scorers now coaches high
school basketball in Waco at
Richfield High School. He is in
his second year there after hav-
ing coached at Stanton four years.
WHILE AT Stanton High
School Edmiston's teams com-
piled a record of 102-22. Three
of his four years at Stanton Ed-
miston's teams won district. In
the third year Edmiston's team
at Stanton win district and made
their way to the regionals before
being defeated by Gruver who
went on to win the state title.
In his first year at Richfield
a 4-A school Edmiston's team won
the north zone in District
13-AAAA equivalent to a district
title with an 18-9 mark.
BUT BEFORE the H-SU grad-
uate from Rising Star went into
high school coaching he tried
his hand at professional basket-
ball. When Doyle graduated from
H-SU he tried out for the De
troit Pistons National Basketball
Association team where he was
a seventh round draft pick.
He did not make the main
team but was sent to the Cleve-
land Pipers of the NIBL (then
equivalent to the American Bas-
ketball Association) where he
played a year. He quit playing
ball to coach.
RECENTLY DOYLE was in
Abilene again. This time he was
here for the Abilene Invitational
Tournament competing against

Cooper High Abilene High
Pampa and a few other noted
schools. Cooper won the tourney.
Last week Edmiston's teams
defeated Abilene High in a Waco
tournament for the tourney
crown.
Edmiston played basketball at
H-SU under Bill Scott who was
succeeded by Lou Henson now
at New Mexico State. He also
participated in track throwing
the shot put javelin and discus.
He was a member of the Cowboy
Club and the Lettermen's Club.
DURING HIS sophomore year
Hardin-Simmons had a 19-7 rec-
ord while still in the old Border
Conference. The Cowboys fin-
ished second in the conference
behind Texas Western (now Uni-
versity of Texas at El Paso).
Texas Western was declared in-
eligible because of an ineligible
player on the team and violation
of recruiting rules so Hardin-
Simmons represented the confer-
ence in the NCAA playoffs. They
were defeated by Idaho State in
Pocotello Idaho.
IN THE 1958-59 season Edmis-
ton set the all-time Hardin-Simmons
seasonal rebounding mark
with 431. In February 1958 he
grabbed 31 caroms in the West
Texas State game for a single
game record. His career total at
H-SU of 1052 rebounds is a rec-
ord. He also led Hardin-Simmons
in scoring his junior and senior

years 1957-58 and 58-59 with 351

"NATE MADKINS I believe
was the best player I've ever
seen at H-SU" said Edmiston. "I
saw him play a year or so after
I graduated and he scored about
50 points then. Since then
though I've heard that the Mc-
Henry boy (Clarence "Pee Wee"
1968 graduate) was also a great
all-around ballplayer.
Doyle is married to the former
Ernestine Parrot of Roscoe also
a former Hardin-Simmons stu-
dent. They have no children but
expect their first child this
month.

Cowboys to Play
Seattle Tonight
The Hardin-Simmon9 basket-
ball team is slated to play Seat-
tle University tonight in Seattle
Wash in the second game of the
second major road trip for the
Cowboys this season.
Coach Paul Lambert's squad
left the campus Sunday morning
to play the University of Boise in
Boise Idaho last night. Results
of the contest were not available
at presstime.
Prior to the road trip the
Pokes opened the season at home
last Thursday night against a
tough Howard Payne College out
of Brownood and then Saturday
night played Samford University
from Birmingham Ala.
Saturday night the Cowboys
dumped the Bulldogs of Samford
by 102-82 for their first victory
of the season. Howard Payne
had clipped the Pokes two nights
before 97-94 in a Rose Field
House thriller.
H-SU's freshman defeated the
Howard Payne Junior Varsity
99-84 Thursday and Goodfellow
AFB 115-50 Saturday night.
In the Howard Payne game
the Cowboys got off to a bad start
and fell behind by as much as
13 in first half but managed to
come up to a 45-51 deficit at the
end of the half.
But the Yellow Jackets mainly
through the expert shooting and
strength of "Fred Davis (who
scored 39 points) swept to a
90-77 lead with only 2:15 re-
maining on the clock.
On the hot shooting of Buddy
Haines and Max Brownlee and
the sharp defense of James Grif-
fin the Pokes cut that 13-point

lead to only five points with 26
seconds to go. James Griffin
aided this surge greatly with
with three ball steals in that
time period. He managed to sink
a 10-footer with five seconds left
to finish the scoring. But it
wasn't enough to bring a victory.
Buddy Haines who led the
Poke scoring in the HPC game
with 22 points was also the top
shooter in the Samford game.
Haines hitting on a fantastic
75 per cent of his shots (15 for
20) hit his highest total ever in
his two years at H-SU with 32
points Saturday night.
The Cowboys grabbed an early
lead which they never actually
relinquished although the Bull-
dogs managed to knot the score
twice in the span of a minute in
the middle of the first half.
Samford never came any closer
than 11 points in the second
frame.
