Kershaw Sets Record
' Howard Payne College's
basketball Yellow Jackets are
miking preparations to leave
the friendly confines of the
Brownwood Coliseum for a
three-game road tour after a
successful four - game home
stand.
After four straight tilts on
their home court, the Jackets
boosted their season mark to
15-5 and their Lone Star Con-
ference record to 7-4.
Monday night, the Stingers
will be in Abilene to battle
the McMurry Indians, On Feb.
12 they will be in Kingsville
against Texas A&I, and on
Feb. 14 the Paynemen take
on Southwest Texas in San
Marcos. §
Six-foot, nine-inch Bob Ker-
shaw from New Rochelle,
N, Y., provided the biggest
sparks in the Jackets' last two
home wins.
The big sophomore chipped
in 24 points in the 91-88 win
over Sul Ross last Saturday
and pulled down 15 rebounds,
but it was in the defeat of
Angelo State Monday night
that the titan had his finest
hour.
Houston's Shopping
List Is A Big One
HOUSTON (AP)—The Hous-
ton Oilers have a long shop-
ping list that was far from
complete as the NFL. annual
market place of college talent
ran its course Thursday.
Houston number one choice
in the draft was Greg Samp-
son from Stanford, but accord-
ing to an Oiler spokesman, the
team's needs are far from be-
ing filled.

In the second half of that
contest, Angelo State had put
a harness on Payne's most po-
tent offensive weapon in the
first half—Tdm Jones. That is
when Kershaw went to work.
Time after time, he latched
on to loose balls until he had
finally broken the school's
rebounding record of 25. Ker-
shaw ended the evening with
26 rebounds and Jones got
untracked in the closing min-
utes of the final half to earn
high point honors with 36.

Star Signs
With Payne
One of the first recruits
landed by new Howard Payne
College head football coach
Dean Slayton is a big one: 6-3
and 230-pound lineman Sandy
Brooks of Iraan High School.
Brooks played defensive end
for Coach Bill Curry's 9-3 Ira-
an team this past season.
He was named to his league's
all-district team and to the all-
West Texas team.
According to Slayton and
assistant coach Wayne Rathke
—who was also instrumental
in recruiting Brooks—the 18-
year-old lineman could play
either defense or offense at
Howard Payne.
"Sandy's big and he's
strong," Slayton said. "He
could play either way, depend-
ing on where our needs are
and how well he fits in. We
believe that he is the type
young man who has a chance
to break into the varsity line-
up as a freshman.

HPC Ace Goes In Round 3
Third-round Detroit Lion
draft pick Ken Sanders, a 6-5
and 223-pound defensive end
from Howard Payne College,
voiced a terse response after
receiving news he was going
to the National Football
League:
"I don't believe it."
Whether Sanders believes it
or not, however, it's a fact. The
tall, tossle-haired senior, a
mainstay on a vicious Yellow
Jacket , defense which sparked
the team to a 10-1-1 season in
1971, became one of the high-
est pro picks in 68 years of
HPC gridiron history earlier
this week.
According to Lyle Smith of
the Detroit Lion publicity set-
up, Sanders was highly re-
garded by a number of scouts
representing the NFL club who
saw the big senior in workouts
and games this past season.
Sanders, who came to How-
ard Payne from the little Cen-
tral Texas town of Valley
Mills, player four years of
varsity ball as a Yellow Jacket.
Never redshirted, Sanders
spent his entire college career
as a defensive end.
In ihe time that Sanders
that Sanders played at HPC,
he saw the team piece together
a story-book, four-year build-
ing program involving records
of 2-7-1, 4-7, 55, and last fall's
10-1-1.
On the 1971 HPC team —
generally considered the best
Yellow Jacket squad since the
school began competition in
1903—Sanders played a key
role in. a defense which allow-
ed 2,378 yards to opponents
through 12 games. The total
in eluded just 1,119 yards on
the ground.
The team also 'forced five
safeties during the '71 cam-
paign—three of which could
be attributed to Sanders. The
number of two-point plays
represented a school record for
a single season at HPC.
In hearing of Sanders' high
draft^pick, new Howard Payne
head football coach Dean Slay-
ton commented:
"All of us here at Howard
Payne are extremely happy
over this honor for Ken San-
ders. We are thrilled not only
for his sake and what this
could mean for his future, but
also for what it means to ath-
letics at Howard Payne, as
well as the over-all school and
community. We wish him the
best of luck with the Detroit
Lions."
