One of the big reasons for
the Cards upsetting Me -
Neese Monday night was
"Ken Roach.
This voung man, who
stands 67", dumped in 18
points to lead the Birds and
was second only to Riegel,
the McNeese ace, in scor-
ing.
Ken started playing bas-
ketball while in high school
in Palestine where he let-
tered three years. Thenhe
transferred to Lon Morris
junior college where he
lettered two years before
coming to Lamar. He was
selected for the Texas Jun -
ior College All Conference
Team.
Ken came to Lamar with
quite a reputation as a bas -
ketball player to live up to.
Although he started off
slow this year, in the last
few games he has served
notice that he is fully as
good as his press clip-
plings.

Only a junior, Ken has one
more season at Lamar af-
ter this year, and from all
indications will be one of
the big guns in the Bird's
offense.

Track Team
In First Meet
The Lamar Tech track
squad, under Coach Ty
Terrell, will begin a se-
ries of three indoor track
meets Saturday.
These meets, which will
be held in Lake Charles
against McNeese, are
purely for practice and
conditioning, and to get
ready for the outdoor
season. It is felt by both
Coach Terrell and the
McNeese coach that the
competition with each
other during these meets
will help both teams.
All events have been
shortened for these prac-
tice meets,.
Coach Terrell has 19
men on the track squad
at the present time. There
are only three lettermen
returning from last year's
team. They are Glenn
Wyble, who placed second
in broad jump in the con-
f e r e n c e meet last year.
Wyble also turned in some
good times in the 100 yard
dash.
Bill Seymour, who placed
fourth in the pole vault
last year, is also return-
ing, along with Dryden
Smith, high jumper and
hurdler.
Two outstanding fresh-
men prospects who have
donned the Cardinal col
ors this year are J. E.
Whitmore, hurdler from
Midway, and Charle
Lowe, hurdler from Jas
Friday,January 13, 1956
per.
Whitmore placed second
In both the high hurdles
and the low hurdles in the
1955 state meet. Lowe
placed second in the lows
in the 1954 state meet.
Events for the indoor
meets will be 60 yard
dash, 60 yard high hurdles,
330 yard run, 660 yard
run, 1320 yard run, 4 40
yard relay and mile relay.

The Cardin als knocked
McNeese State's Cowboys
off their high horse last
Monday night in a thriller,
61-60.
It eas one of the most -
shocking upsets to be re-
corded in the books for the
'55-'56 season. McNeese
was considered an over-
whelming favorite and had
defeated the Cards on two
previous occassions by 33
and 41 points.
So it was a revenge win
for the Cards who jumped
into the lead early in the
game, but had to go into an
overttime to. succumb the
Cowboys. Bob Thompson
clamped a tight defense on
heralded Bill Reigel in the
early stages, and with the
Cardinal ball control tac-
tics and the rebound work
of Ken Roach, the Redbirds
moved into a lead at half-
time of 33-23.
The Cowboys came out in
the second period deter-
mined to even up things.
With Reigel and Carver
supplying the punch, the
Cowboys hacked away a t
the Card lead, and with less
than 20 seconds to play,
moved to the front 55-51,
and that looked like the ball
game.
However, the Martin Men
refused to play dead, and
with defeat staring them in
the face, put on a last sec-
ond surge to tie the game.
Roach tipped in a goal and
Thompson grabbed an er-
ratic pass and dunked in the
two that sent the contest
into an extra period.
In overtime, J. C. Smith
provided the winning touch
when he slapped a rebound
into the bucket with sec-
onds remaining to play by
the scoreboard clock.
Roach and Tubbs had tal-
lied earlier for the Cards.
The clock was the center-
point of controversy as the
timer failed to sound the
buzzer at the end of official
five minute overtime. As
the clock kept running af-
ter the ball game was ac-
tually over, McNeese's
Scarborough hit a shot from
midcourt that gave some
fans the idea that itputMc-
Neese into the lead. How-
ever, the game was already
over and Lamjir had record-
ed their fifth win in eleven
outings.
Last Saturday night the
Cards fell before East Tex-
as Baptist 74-67. Lamar
led most of the way but fal-
tered in the latter stages to
lose their second game to
the Baptists this season.
Kenneth Roach, 67" cen-
ter for the Redbirds, was
leading scorer in the game.
Lamar defeated East Tex-
as here in Beaumont 71-49.
Next home game for the
Cardinals will be a confer-
ence affair with Texas A&I
of Kingsville on Feb. 1 In
MacArthur gym. The twe
teams will meet again on
the following night on the
MacArthur court.
