Calling The Shots
By 1)1 H Ki\G
The word IF makes frequent appearances in any conversation con-
cerning Texas Wesleyan's basketball prospects for the 1948-49 season.
It looms as that kind of a season.
By tha time you read this, two-thirds of the spring drills will be be-
hind Coach Johnnie Edwards and his hard-working athletes.
Those two weeks of workouts have eliminated none of the "IFS."
On the contrary, they probably have increased them.
Here's how it looks to an observer who has followed every basket-
ball team TWC ever had, except its first quintet:
Although Eldwards has available six of liis 10 letterm|jji from the
1947.48 club, the team is going to be lacking in experience.
Dandy Doug Higgins, the blond-thatched forward, will return and
so will Gus Weber, who was the starting center most of last season.
Higgins needs only to improve his ball handling and add confidence to
be a candidate for All-Ameriean honors. He can hit and always could.
He's good on defense and a fine team player.
That means virtually no worries for one of the forward slots.
Richard (Snoz) Cozad is almost certain to land one of the starting
berths. IF Cozad improves as much between now and January 1 as
he has the past year, his possibilities are unlimited. He has blazing
speed, possesses a knack of coming up with wild balls and is woiking
to add new shots to his repertoire. Like Higgins and every other
member of the squad, Cozad needs hours and hours of hard work on
his ball-handling. He's the type of boy who knows the value of adroit
ball-handling and when December comes you likely will find him morq
polished in this department.
Now, if you mark down Higgins and Cozad for two of ftic stalling
berths, you still need two "tall" boys and another "out' man who can
pass above average, take care of his man on defense and hit a good
percentage of long set shots.
That player could be "Terrific Tommy" Jiaucpck. IF the small
but sharp Prairie Valley kid chooses TWC' above SMU, Oklahoma
A & M and other schools that are after him. Making the varsity
team your Freshiman year is quite a hill, but Hancock has enough
cage savvy and all-around ability to climb it. I know frosn having,-
en him in action.
Tommy Chandler, if har.tf&d properly, could fill the bill. He has a
good basketball head, loves to win and is a fair ball-handler. One^hand-
shot artist Billy Boykin, Cliff .-Wall, Buddy Wise (if he choost^i'WV>,

I'm for any'TWC basketball player, first, last ami always.
Stroud is coming along fast. He is so tall that, he ran make good

Prater—Paul, that is—probably will prove the surprise
of the "big bay" foursome. He. has a good spirit, is working hardl
in spring drills, ;has a good eye for the basket aml wants to makel

r...I smoke Chesterfield
(from a series of statements by prominent tobacco farmers )
Chesterfield is my brand. I've been smoking them for
about 16 years. I like them because they're mild and
really satisfy. I know the kind of tobacco that's in
them . . . it's the best.
... Chesterfield buys the best grades of tobacco. It's

highest prices for their tobacco. It's top quality leaf."
