THE YELLOW JACKET, JANUARY \1, 1964
PAGE 4
Jackets To Host Lobos, Bobcats
BY BILL HARPER
Yellow Jacket Sports Editor
With more than a week's rest,
the Howard1 Payne Yellow Jack-
ets will take on the Southwest
Texas Bobcats Saturday, Jan. 25,
and the Sul Robs Lobos the fol-
lowing Monday.
Like all of the remaining home
games this season, these con-
tests will be played at the
Brown wood Coliseum. These
conference games had originally
been scheduled for Yellow Jack-
et Gym, but arrangements were
made by the Coliseum Boosters
to accomodate the Yellow Jack-
ets for the rest of their play-
ing dates.
Head Basketball Coach and
Athletic Director Glen Whitis
said, "We want to bring colleg-
iate basketball to as many peo-
ple as possible in Brownwood
and surrounding area. We can
do thiB better in the Coliseum
than we can in our gym.'*
The playing of these games
will put the oonference season
into full swing after a layoff for
semester examinations.
Southwest Texas, Saturday's
opponent, has a 1-1 record in
conference play so far this sea-
son. In thlr initial outing they
defeated Texas A&I, 82-70; but
lost their next encounter to
East Texas, 72-68.
Sul Ross must be the surpriso
of the young conference sea-
son, Looking anything but im-
pressive in their early season

Demons
Came To Win
Basketball is a funny game or
at least it's supposed to be,
sometimes.
Don't ask the Harlem Stars
about this 'because they don't
think its a laughing matter. Last
Saturday night the Harlem
Stars came to town with the in-
tention of clowning and winning.
They were able to do neither.
This was mainly due to the
opposition they faced and the
officials employed. Unlike the
famous Harlem Globetrotters
who bring theirt own opposition
and officials, the Stars take on
opposition furnished by the town
and bonafide officials.
However, Saturday they found
more than they could handle in
the form of the Brownwood
Demons. The Demons, led by
Glen "Hook" Whitis, Carlyle
Strickland and Russell Berry,
defeated them 65-59.
There were mixed emotions
over the Demons victory, some
said they were glad to see It,
others were not quite so happy,
they wanted to see the Stars
clown.
But after all the object of the
game is to win, and that's just
what the Demons did. "Hook*'
Whitis spoke for the team when
he said, "There's no use in go-
ing out there unless you're go-
ing to win."

Turning to the gridiron....
Many a die-hard Baptist football
fan was saddened to hear that
THE GAME will be no more. I'm
speaking, of course, of the How-
ard Payne-Hardin-S i m m o n s
clash on Thanksgiving day.
This decades-old rivalry, re-
vived last year after a 16 year
layoff will come to an end
since Hardin-Simmons has drop-
ped football.
But isn't it fitting that their
last be a 16-7 loss to arch rival
Howard Payne?
Speaking of the football team,
won't it be nice and cozy in
Taylor Hall next semester, when
Coach James takes up residence
there with his athletes.
ROYCE COOPER, Yellow Jacket guard, has been doing yoeman
work of late, both on the backboards and from the floor.

1NTRAMURALS
Basketball Playoff Dates Slated
A 67-40 Bouncer victory on
Dec. 19 enabled them to join the
Heathens and Klods who al-
ready occupied the first place
position in intramural basket-
ball.

ed numbe rone spot demands a
settlement. A playoff stalled by
dead week will be held Febru-
ary 11, 13) and 18, in the How-
ard Payne Gym. Men's games
will start at 9:00 p.m., following
two women's matches scheduled

a new experience for the men
from Alpine who with their three
conference wins have already
equalled their entire 1968 con-
ference output.
These games will furnish the
Yellow Jackets an excellent
chance to move up in the league
standings. The Paynemen cur-
rently boast a 1-1 mark in con-
ference play.

Rebounds were even at 36 for
each team.

Girl Cagers
Slate Opener
At long last, four women's in-
tramural basketball teams have
come into being. They are: Yo-
Yo's, V.I.P.'s, Dribblin' Queens
and Basketeers.
Mrs. Bratton, sponsor of the
women's intramural program,
said a double round-robin lea-
gue will be formed with play
beginning February 11 at 7:30
p.m. in the Howard Payne Gym.
On the following Tuesday and
Thursday, a second game will
be played, scheduled to start at
8:15, immediately preceeding the
men's intramural playoffs which
follow at 9:00.
Oilers Top HP
The star-studded Phillips 66
Oilers blew into town Tuesday
night and left on the long end
of an 80-73 score over the How-
ard Payne Yellow Jackets.
The Oilers were the masters of
the situation after the first four
minutes of play. The game rock-
ed along with the visitors lead-
ing by anywhere from six to ten
points from that point on until
the final gun.
But big Bob Springer outshone
any of the AU-Amerlcans who
came to show the Yellow Jack-
ets how. He racked up 29 points
on five field goalB and 19 free
throws to lead the scoring.
It was just a little more than
rough under the baskets, and
Springer was in the thick of it,
but he normally came up with
the free throw instead of the
foul. He made 19 and missed 5
during the night
Royce Cooper, the skinny
guard from Howard Payne had
6 field goals and four free
throws for 14 points.
Jerry Shipp, the two-time AAU
Ail-American, led the visitors
with 15 points, while Tony Cer-
kuenlk, had 14, and Jim Hagan
and Bobby Roscoe each had 10
points.
Springer, in addition to his
scoring, had 24 rebounds to lead
both teams in that department,
and Carter had 11 for the Jack-
ets.
The Jackets had a total of 54
rebounds and the Oilers had 42.
Phillips hit 45 per cent of
their field goal attempts, while
the Jackets had 32 per cent.
In the free throw department,
the Jackets had a neat 76 per
cent, while the visitors could
do no better than 69 per cent.
