Pokes Win
Twice Over
The Christmas holidays proved
disfavorable to the HardirnSim-
mons Cowboys as the Pokes
dropped two out of three basket-
ball games and lost their long
time coach Bill Scott. Coach
resigns effective Feb. 1 to take
a position with the government.
The one victory the Cowboys
gained came on the last day of
school Dec. 115 as Captain Paul
Hinds led the Cowboys oyer
Trinity University in Hose Field
House 91-67. Hinds pumped in
34 points on 13 field goals and
eight free throws to top the Poke
scoring machine. Dallas Christian
and Nick Wilson had 14 and 12
points each.
Nearly six minutes had elapsed
in the game before Trinity was
able to score a tfield goal and the
Cowboys stretched an ever-
widening lead to be on top at
halftime 41-28.
The H-SU Buttons came close
to stopping South Plains Jr. Col
lege in the preliminary affair
being edged out 54-52. Jim Bray
connected for 16 to pace the But-
tons. South Plains had defeated
the Buttons previously 73-58 in
Levelland.
A two-day road trip proved
fatal for the Pokes over the holi-
days as losses were handed to
them by North Texas for the sec-
ond time this season and by
Tulsa.
North Texas maintained its
jinx over the Cowboys with an
89-56 victory in Denton Wednes-
day Dec. 27. That victory com-
bined with the previous win over
the Cowboys in Abilene is the
only games the Eagles have won
in nine starts. John Savage
paced the Eagles with 29 points.
Barry Oxford and Donnie Seam-
ster led the cold Cowboys in
scoring with 12 and 10 points.
The Pokes hit a poor 33 per cent
from the field and only 45 per
cent from the free throw line
and were out rebounded 52-40.
The loss was the Cowboys' fifth
and broke a two-game winning
streak.
Percentages dropped even lower
as Tulsa took advantage of Jd-bU
coldness and clouted the Pokes
74-61. The Cowboys hit only 19
of 78 field goal tries for a 24.4
tier cent. It was Oxford and
Seamster again with high point
totals with 18 and 13 points re-
spectively. Tulsa had a 36-25
halftime lead and stretched that
to a 24-point spread midway in
the second half.

Cowboys Host

Tuesday Night
IHardin-Simmons will be repre-
sented in the West for the third
time this school year as the Cow-
boy cagers departed Tuesday for
a six-day two-game road trip
through Arizona.
The Cowboys faced the Uni-
versity of Arizona last night a
game that served as a warmup
for the ensuing Border Confer
ence battles which begin Satur-
day night as the Pokes face the
Arizona State Sun -Devils in
Tempe. The Sun Devils Border
Conference favorites were once
nationally ranked but dropped
quickly from the ratings after
suffering three straight setbacks.
However ASU coaching heads
hope to use this last Border Con-
ference season as a stepping stone
into the NCAA playoffs.
The Pokes will return to Abi-
lene Tuesday night for a non-
conference game against the
Greyhounds of Eastern New Mex-
ico University. Game time is
7:30.
The freshman Buttons do not
get back into action again until
Jan. 19 when they start a four-
game series with Goodfellow
AFB.

Twis the night before. New
Year
and all through Rose House
House
Not a creature was stirring.
Not even a mouse.
Except one.
And he jumped up and hol-
lered out as loud as can
be.
You talk about a mass evacu-
ation ! 1 1
And now in the Cowboy Band
tradition shall we pause a mo-
ment and remember those who
have gone on That's enough.
Seriously our departed coach-
ing staff is going to be hard to
replace and we may not can
speak so freely if they cannot be
replaced.
The resignation of the football
coaches. did not come of a too
great surprise to anyone. The
resignation of Mr. Ledbetter was
somewhat of a surprise but
Coach Scott's departure comes as
a shock to many. Here is the
man that will be hard to replace.
If one looks around not too many
schools break even every year or
finish with a winning season. The
Cowboys won their only Confer-
ence championship under Scott
finishing in a tie with Arizona
in 1953.
Last year the Pokes finished
with a 12-44 mark in a tough
league and with only two return
ing starters Scott has fashioned
a faswnoving DalL club this year
that is holding their own against
rough compettiion.
(Replacing the basketbal coach
in mid-season will be extra
rough.
If you were like me you spent
much of your time at home over
the holidays in defense of the ac-
tion taken by the Athletic com-
mittee. The headlines in many
papers seemed to have left the
impression on our parents arid-
friends that we had dropped ath-
tics all together and that every
thing was going to pot.
A lot will .depend on the selec-
tion of a head football coach and
athletic director another post
which will be very hard to fill.
Not only must the coach have the
ability to coach a major college
team but he must be a solicitor
must be looking constantly for
gifts so that he can rebuild the
athletic program.
Congratulations are in order to
our Wichita Falls Dumas Donna
and Albany students. In case
you didn't hear while you were
at home your football team won
state!
night not -the best team in the
world but perhaps one of the
most well-balanced teams the
Cowboys will face thsi year. The
Greyhounds' top scorer Tony
Ferrell is averaging only 10
points a game followed by Glenn
McPherson with a 9 point av-
erage. Bill Pyle Darrell Fouser
and Ben Felton are all running
about 8 points per game average.
Gary Lipisis (6-7) is the big man
on the squad with a 5 point av-
erage. MASTER

Baugh Wisiiier Feud;
Turner Takes Titan Job
Sammy Baugh Harry Wismer
Bulldog Turner and Hardin-Sim-mons
4hese go together. Or do
they?
All four names have connec-
tions in some way or another
and for the last two months these
connections have become evident.
Baugh former H-SU Cowboy
football coach was demoted from
the position of head football
coach of the New York Titans to
backfield consultant. Baugh and
Wismer had been having words
for the past year and a half over
the way the other was carrying
out his job as far as the pro-
fessional football team is con
cerned. Wismer is the owner of
the two-year-old American Foot-
ball League team and is a former
sports announcer.
Wismer named Clyde (Bulldog)
Turner as the new head coach.
Turner like Baugh is also a Tex-
as rancher. Turner is the only
All-American that H-SfU has
turned out (1939) and was an all-
pro lineman for the Chicago
Bears for eight out of the 13
seasons he played.
Since Baugh still has another
year to go on his" initial three-
year contract he was demoted to
backfield consultant at the same
salary of $20000. Baugh said he
didn't know exactly what his
duties would be as Turner's as-
sistant or consultant. But Sam
snapped "I hope I'll be taking up
tickets because lira a little lazy
and that would be the biggest
snap of all." This statement was
a direct reference to the small
crowds that usually turned out
for the Titans' home games.
In defense of his demotion of
Baugh Wismer stated that Tur-
ner was his first choice when he
organized the ball club in 1960.
"My second choice was Otto
Graham my third choice was
Frank Leahy and my fourth

choice was Sammy Baugh" said
Wismer.
Baugh said that Wismer did
not know what was going on.
"Wismer makes a big fuse over
name players." said Baugh. "He
puts out publicity about the big'
money he's going to pay them.
And while we're fooling around
with the big names the NFL is
picking off other top players
which we would have a chance
of signing."
JBaugh illustrated this statement
with this season's ball team. "We
actually ended up with a pretty
good ball club this year. How-
ever we picked up most of our
good players after the season got
started.
"Wismer wasn't quite honest
with us" Sam continued. "Before
we went to training camp Harry
wrote that he had enough players
signed that we shouldn't have
any trouble winning the cham-
pionship. Well only two of those
players finished the season for
us. We had to cut the rest.
Almost all of our team was
picked up after the season started
from other pro clubs."
Turner stated that he is enthu-
siastic over the chance to get
back into coaching. About
Baugh he said 'T have the
highest respect for Baugh and will
welcome any help he can give me.
We will go over our player per-
sonnel as soon as possible arid
start making plans for 1962."
Baugh and Turner seem to
have no differences. "Bulldog
knows football" Sam said "and
I'm sure he'll make a fine coach.
I know I'll be able to work with
him and I just hope he and Wis-
mer get along good together.''
