LEOPARD TALES
January 13, 1966
Leopards Need Wins To Secure
Invitation To NJCAA Tourney
TJC’s Leopards must win all
home games and at least 50 per
cent on the road in order to hope
for an invitation to the National
Junior College Athletic Association
playoffs, Coach Jim Brown says.
“The loss of Steve Allie and Nyle
Mann did hurt the team. The two
boys were on the starting lineup
and putting in two less experienced
boys did show its effects . . . but
we have done very well with the
other boys and have been coming
up on the winning end,” Brown
added.
Allie was lost during a game at
Grayson County Junior College
when he rammed both hands
through a glass door after a driv-
ing layup. Mann came down with
mononucleosis during the Christ-
mas holidays. It’s possible Mann
will be out for the duration.
Drew Madar and Larry Oakes re-
main to bolster the Leopard offen-
sive and defensive efforts. Five
times during the season, Madar has
passed the 30-point marker. Oakes
has pulled down 225 rebounds.
The Leopards are averaging 90.7
points per game, allowing oppo-
nents 85.5.
Brown sees Hill, Ranger and
Cisco junior colleges as the teams
to beat in the conference. If the
squad can get past these obstacles,
it can concentrate on working for
the NJCAA bid.
During the TJC Invitational
Tourney, the Leopards defeated
Cisco, scoring 123 points; in con-
ference action, the Leopards were
subdued by Ranger 93-90; and on
Jan. 25, the Leopards face Hill
Junior College.
Tonight the Leopards meet the
North Texas State Freshmen in
hopes of maintaining their winning
record.

Rotary Club Helps
To Beautify Campus
The Temple Rotary Club has re-
sumed their beautification plans
for the entire Temple Junior Col-
lege campus.
The completion of the new li-
brary and the new science build-
ings expanded the campus beyond
the original master plan, and by
the beginning of the spring semes-
ter there will be a new campus
look.
Following the original planning,
the outside area will be planted in
oak, trees. The inner area will
continue with the red oleanders
and pyrocanthas. Junipers are
placed along the sidewalks and the
interior portion of the campus is
dotted with redbud.
The Temple Rotary Club has
been a great supporter of Temple
Junior College and also makes
available three full scholarships to
TJC freshmen returning for the
sophomore year.

Luncheon Club.
The TJC Luncheon Club donated
$155.66 and the Board of Regents
contributed the balance of the cost,
about $500.
Dr. H. M. Dawson stated, “We’re
very proud of the dress and con-
duct of the teams while they are
out of town, and with their new
blazers we will be even more
proud.”
Chamber Band Seeks
Members For Spring
“Anyone interested in playing
with the Temple Junior College
‘Chamber Band’ for the second
semester should contact a member
of the Music Department,” stated
Keith Pettway, band director.
In regard to the number of in-
quiries concerning playing with the
band for the second semested, Mr.
Pettway has expressed a desire to
allow anyone interested, who quali-
fies, to join the group. In addition
to playing for the Leopard basket-
ball games, the band plans several
area performances and a spring
concert the second semester.
The band rehearses period three
on Tuesdays and Thursdays. “Any-
one wishing to join must be willing
to work hard during rehearsals, for
few outside rehearsals will be
held.”
Over one million dollars will pass
through the TJC business office
for the school year 1965-66 as ope-
rating and constructional budget.

team effort to defeat the Ranger
Junior College Rangerettes 57-26

scoring in double figures, as Coach
Frances Garmon’s team boosted

lor, and Kathy Duncan each scored

Enrolments Rise
In Junior Colleges
Enrollments in the country’s
junior colleges for the fall of 1965
rose to 1,292,753, setting a record
yearly increase of 22.6 per cent
over 1964 registrations, according
to figures released by the Amer-
ican Association of Junior Colleges.
Enrollments for the fall of 1964
totaled approximately 1,050,000.
The opening of 50 new colleges
accounted for a measurable share
of the increase, but key states in
junior college development showed
increases ranging from 12,000 each
in Michigan and Pennsylvania, to
25,000 in New York, and to 57,000
in California.
California has some 80 junior
colleges; New York has 67; Penn-
sylvania, 43; and Michigan, 23.
Texas, with its 47 colleges, ac-
commodated 61,938 students, and
Florida’s 27 institutions enrolled
61,667.
The present rate of growth in
numbers of institutions and in en-
rollments is expected by AAJC to
continue for the foreseeable future
as more and more communities and
states plan for expansion of higher
education opportunity.
continue their undefeated season
against junior college competition.
The Leopardettes’ only loss of
the season came at the hands of
the highly-publicized Wayland
Baptist Flying Queens, the 1964
national AAU runners-up. A large
crowd witnessed the close game at
TJC gym on Dec. 18, as the Leop-
ardettes put up a brilliant effort
before falling to defeat by a score
of 60-47.
The Leopardettes kept close the
entire first half, and they trailed
by only two points at half time. A
cold third quarter for the Leop-
ardettes allowed the Flying Queens
to jump ahead and keep thir lead
for the rest of the game.
Although the Queens were con-
siderably taller than the TJC team,
TJC won the rebound battle 27-20,
with Gina Geldmeier, Judy Viller-
| real, and Rose Lefner coming down
with most of the TJC rebounds.
Rose Lefner led the Leopardettes’
scoring with 14 points, followed by
Gloria Ray with 9 and Jan Zapalac
with 8 points.
The Leopardettes played Weath-
erford Junior College at the TJC
gym Tuesday night, but the results
were not available at press time.
