H-SU's golfers and tracksters
plunged into the opening of spring
sports last weekend at Laredo and
apparently they nearly drowned
in the process.
Although Johnny Whatley
managed to pull down a first
place in the high jump the rest
of the track team floundered
around in the mire of stiff com-
petition and emerged with a total
of 2Vz points to add to Whatley's
five.
Blast
Not that IVz points is such a
bad total but the fact that Bobby
Morrow and his Abilene Christian
DELNOR POSS H-SU's All-Border Conference guard is shown
here as he is making a broad jump similar io the one made at the
Border Olympics last weekend ihat was good for fifth place. Poss
a senior from San Angelo was selected Sunday as one of the hon-
orary five on the BC team.
Only H-SU Player Named
Ace Cager Poss
Gains BC Unit
Delnor Poss Hardin-Simmons University's flashly senior
guard was selected as one of the five All-Border Conference
basketball players Sunday by the head coaches of the BC
schools.
Joining Poss on the number one squad were: Jim Reed
Texas Tech; James E. Babers Texas Western; James L. Lomis
New Mexico A&M; and Rookie Rogers West Texas State.
Every School Represented
Tracksters Golfers
Seek Cowtown Crown
Every schoolwas Tepresented
on the honorary 13-man team.
While Poss was the Cowboys'
lone nominee Texas Tech and
Texas Western each landed three
West Texas and New Mexico
A&M placed two apiece and Ari-
zona State of Tempe and Arizona
had one.
Composing the second team
were: Blackshear Texas Tech;
Edwin F. Nymyer Arizona; Ray
Burrus West Texas; Edgar E.
Haller Texas Western; Harry C.
Guthmuller New Mexico A&M;
Thomas E. Futch Arizona State.
Eugene S. Carpenter Texas
Tech and Richard L. McAlpine
Texas Western received honor-
able mention.
Tech's Reed was a unanimous
selection to captain the squad.
The first team berth by Poss
marked the fourth straight year
that Hardin-Simmons has had one
of its Cowboys named to the hon-
orary squad. In 1953 Hank Green
was the Cowboy selection and he
was followed in 1954 by Doyle
Brunson.
Last year Poke center Bob
Tremaine made the team as a
junior but was unable to play this
year because of a foot injury.
Whatley Captures Lone
First Place At Meet
Led by defending high jump
champion John Whatley the Hardin-Simmons
Cowboy track and
field team departed yesterday for
Fort Worth and the Southwest
Recreational Track and Field
Meet.
Whatley who leaped 6-4 at
the Border Olympics at Laredo
last Saturday collected the best
effort for that entire meet. His
mark bested by more than an
inch the winning height in the
University Division.
With Whatley Coach Howard
McChesney took hurdler - broad
jumper. Ben Benton broad jump
er Delnor Poss 880-440 speedster
James Thompson and 220-440 man
Max Irwin. Together with their
other duties at the meet Poss
Irwin Benton and Thompson
constitute the 'Poke mile relay
team.
Following their Thursday after-
noon match with Baylor Coach
By JOHN HOBBS
Bill Scott's linksters hit the trail
to Cowtown early Friday morning
for the golf portion of the shindig.
Arlyn Scott Duane Blair Henry
Whitley Gale Shed and James
Dixon make up the unit that teed
off on qualifying rounds on the
spacious Meadowbrook Country
Club course Friday.
The golfers tied with the Texas
Longhorns for seventh place at
the Border Olympics last Satur-
day. All events in the meet come
to finals Saturday. Such widely
known teams as Texas Texas
A&M Oklahoma A&M and Abi-
lene Christian will bid for the
track and field title. The Univer-
sity of Houston's Cougers Texas
Tech North Texas-State Texas
A&M Texas S.M.U. and T.C.U.
head the list of hopefuls after the
links first place.
Wildcats amassed 81 points to
take top honors is the real blast.
While the thinly clads were
paddling around the cinder track
the golf team was struggling for
survival in the sand traps. As in
the case with the track team its
not so bad to finish seventh but
to let Texas Tech's Red Raiders
beat them by 27 strokes . . . that
also is a real blast.
Blast
One thing that might be said
concerning the golfers the fresh-
men gained INVALUABLE ex-
perience from the tournament. It
seems that a couple of them re-
plied after firing opening rounds
of 75 and 76 that they would
probably "burn up" the course
Saturday. Something must have
gone wrong because the said
parties finished with an 80 and
an 83. Definitely typical fresh-
men to say the least.
Now that the "coin" has "blast-
ed" everybody and everything
that he can think of he has de-
cided to go home and get rested
up for FRACAS WEEK after aU
it's only a couple of months away.
