THE YELLOW JACKET, JANUARY 10, 1964
PAGE 4
tsxu. Lions Humble Jackets
A Time
To Stand
"There's no turning back now,
we are all playing for keeps."
These were the words of Coach
Glenn Whitis a day before his
team would put up their first
defense of its Lone Star Con-
ference crown.
This was the general feeling
last Monday night as league
action began for six of (he
seven teams.
East Texas State, picked by
the opposing coaches to win the
championship, looked as if they
may do just that, as they de-
feated the Yellow Jackets quite
handily.
Second place choice Texas
A&I did not fare so well as they
were upset by Southwest Texas.
Stephen F. Austin, third
place pick after winning tIieir
own holiday tournament visited
the wilds of Alpine only to lose
to Sul Boss.

Getting back to the Yellow
Jackets, they are in an unenvi-
able position this year. Being
two-time conference co-champ-
ions, everyone is gunning for
them.
And time and injuries have
taken their toll. Graduation of
four-fifths of last year's power-
ful team along with injuries to
starter Jim Rich cut the Jack-
kets chances considerably.
Of course, we here at Howard
Payne have become used to a
winner, but we must realise that
you can't have a champion every
year.
The fan support during the
championship was tremendous,
but now support is needed more
than ever.
Where were you last Tuesday
night when the Yellow Jackets
were, playing arch Baptist rival
Hardin-Simmons ?
After all, its easy to support
a champion; but now when the
going is rough is the time to
support the team.

"You can't win unless you re-
bound," exclaimed Coach Glenn
Whitis shortly after his team
had been defeated 94-67 by the
East Texas State Lions.
The Lions held a 51-32 edge
on the boards as they moved to
their first win in conference play
at Yellow Jacket Gym last Mon-
day night.
In losing to East Texas, How-
ard Payne saw it's conference
winning streak come to a halt.
The Paynemen had ammassed a
string of 14 consecutive wins at
home over a two year span.
The game started a bit slowly
with both teams attempting to
work for the good shot. After
East Texas took an early lead,
the Stingers, aided by the work
of center Walter Carter, were
able to tie the score at 14 on a
free throw by Ted Hobby with
9:25 left in the half.
This was the last time the
Jackets were in the contest.
The Lions jumped to a seven
point lead and increased it to
43-30 at half time.
☆ ☆
During the second half, the
Lions maintained their poise
dispite various pressing tactics
employed by the Yellow Jackets,
and built up leads of from 20 to
25 points.
The Paynemen, stymied by the
rough defensive tactics of the
Lions, were never able to mount
a concerted offensive that would
have brought them into conten-
tion.
The second half was also
marked by constant whistle
blowing by the officials. This
was quite a contrast to the first
half, when the Yellow Jackets
did not have a one and one
opportunity until the last two
minutes.
Hot from the field during the
entire contest the Lions sank
31 of 62 shots for an even 50
per cent. The Stingers some-
what cool were able to hit on
22 of 54 for 40 per cent.
It was not one of the better
efforts for the Paynemen from
the free throw line. They sank
only 23 of 34 attempts for 67
per cent. East Texas on the
other hand took full advantage
of the charity tosses sinking 32
Cowboys Spur Payners
Howard Payne's Yellow Jack-
ets, trying like fury, couldn't
quite cut it Tuesday night, and
they dropped the second game of
tbe season to Hardin-Simmons
University in a non-Lone Star
Conference basketball game
played in Brownwood Coliseum.
The Cowboys won 87-70. And
they won because they hit 53.4
percent of their field goal shots
and a fantastic 87.1 percent of
their free throws.
The Yellow Jackets meshed
only 43.1 percent of their field
goal tries and missed 10 of 28
free throws for a 64.3 percent.
Jacket fans can take heart,
though. Big Walter Carter, the
Howard County Junior College
transfer, led the scoring for the

Paynemen Tip Tribe
Those who saw it said that
they had never seen a better one.
This was the general senti-
ment of the fans who saw the
Howard Payne Yellow Jackets
101-99 double-overtime win over
the McMurry Indians Saturday
Dec. 28.
Savage Powers
Birds Past HP
Playing for the first time in
two weeks the Howard Payne
Yellow Jackets experienced one
of those cool nights as they were
defeated by the North Texas
State Eagles, 83-70.
Howard Payne sank 28 of 72
shots for 38 per cent, North
Texas somewhat warmer hit 33
of 71 for 46 per cent.
Leading the Eagles was theit
all-American candidate John
Savage who garnered 14 re-
bounds and 29 points.
Robert Springer, the Yellow
Jackets low postman in his best
effort of the year, pulled down
18 rebounds and scored 22
points to lead the Paynemen.
Playing their second contest
of the holidays the Paynemen
matched the Indians basket for
basket during the first half
which ended in a 49-49 deadlock.
After the intermission the two
teams continued the tempo until
the final minute of play. With
the score tied at 87 Walter
Carter, Jacket center, sunk a
fifteen foot jump shot to put
the Paynemen two ahead with
eight seconds left in the game.
It was here that Indian guard
Preston Vice took matters into
his own hands, taking a pass
at midcourt he dribbled to just
inside the free throw line and
threw up an incredible scoop
shot that went in just as the buz-
zer sounded.
After the first overtime the
score was knotted: at 97. During
the second overtime the Yellow
Jackets held the ball trying to
get a good shot, they got it when
Carter was able to work himself
free under the basket for an
over-the-head layup.
Seconds later Ted Hobby iced
the contest with two clutch free
throws.
Leading the Paynemen in
scoring were Carter, 26, Robert
Springer, 21 and Ted Hobby, 17.
evening with a cool 30 points.
This was 10 more than his near-
est rival, Nate Madkins of H-SU,
who had 20.
Big Bob Springer had 15
points, and Dennis Watson got
into double figures with 14.
For Hardin-Simmons, Paul
Fortin had 19 points, and he was
followed by Charles Dishman
with 15, Dom Seamster with 12
and Richard Nagy with 11.
Howard Payne led in re-
bounds, 35-29. Springer came up
with 11, and Carter 8, while
Fortin had 8 to lead the Cow-
boys.
The game was nip and tuck
during the most of the first
half. But in the last four min-
utes of the first stanza, the

The Jackets made a game of

the end of the first eight min-
utes. But Hardin-Simmons took
control at that point and led'by

way. A bucket in the last two
seconds by Fortin gave the
Cowpokes the 17-point margin
by which they won. And that was

Gold And Blue Hoists Win
Over McMurrq's Redskins
After defeating the McMurry
Indians in a double overtime
thriller at home, the Howard
Payne Yellow Jackets repeated
their performance in Abilene six
nights later as they bested the
Redskins 71-69 in a regulation
contest
Propelled by the shooting of
Ted Hobby and Walter Carter
the Paynemen jumped out to a
23-10 lead with 9:16 left in the
HPC Slates Oilers, 'Kats
For the second time in two weeks the Howard Payne Yellow
Jackets face games on successive nights.
They first travel to Huntsville to play the Sam Houston
Bearkats on Monday and come home to play Phillips 66 Oilers
on Tuesday.
Last year Sam Houston finished third behind co-champions
Howard Payne and Lamar Tech with an eight-six record. Thus
far this season the Bearkats have a 6-2 record.
Facing the Phillips 66 Oilers will be no easy task for the
Paynemen Tuesday night. The Oilers have already ammassed a
12-1 record.
Already thin in depth because of injuries, HPC will finish the
season without freshman guard Jim Hardin. According to Coach
Glenn Whitis, Hardin has been dismissed from the squad for
leaving town without authorization.
Two bright notes in the recent games of the Yellow Jackets
have been the play of Royoe Cooper and Walter Carter.
Cooper lead all Yellow Jacket scorers with 17 against East
Texas and Carter, getting stronger every game, poured in 30
against Hardin Simmons.
first half.
The Indians sparked by the
shooting of Russell Knoll came
back to slice the Stinger ad-
vantage to 40-35 as the half
ended.
During the early moments of
the second half the Tribesmen
whittled away at the Yellow
Jacket lead, until Cecil Robin-
son sank a layup with 12:45 to
put the Indians ahead for the
first time, 51-49.
The teams traded the lead for
the next four minutes, but Royce
Cooper sank two free throws
with 8:38 to put the Paynemen
ahead for good.
Making use of a good control
game and some clutch foul
shooting the Yellow Jackets
were able to hold the lead until
time ran out
Rebounding was a key factor
in the game's outcome. The
Paynemen outrebounded their
opponents by a 61-42 count.
Leading the Paynemen were
Walter Carter and Royce Cooper
with 14 and 12 respectively.
Pacing the Paynemen in
scoring were Carter and Hobby.
Hobby was never hotter, hit
seven of 10 shots and added
seven free throws for 21 points.
Matching this total was Carter
with eight field goals and
five free throws.
