The Apaches, considered as the best junior college basektball team in the state, wasted little time in getting started. With the combin ed help of tall center Rodriquez and fleet forward Herbert Rich ardson, the Tyler quintet ran up a 30 to 10 score with just ten min utes gone in the fray. Coach Floyd Wagstaff then let his second stringers take over. It didn’t take them long in in creasing their lead over the low ly Clifton lads as they rallied to make the count stand at 38-11 aft er 15 minutes of play.

Allen 64—Schreiner 63 Pulling the biggest upset of the tourney, Allen Academy’s rough cage aggregation, led by second string center Robert Jones, an nexed its second straight win as they defeated the Schreiner Insti tute lads last night in the sev enth game, 64-63. The fray got under way with both teams being unable to score in the first two minutes of com petition. Schriener quickly took a slight lead and managed to increase it to a 15 to 10 count at the end of 9 minutes of play. Keeping an extra tight defense in the early minutes, the Institute boys hardly let a eager pass the circle, but as soon as the Bryan basketballers found the hoop the game developed into a real thrill er. Nip and tuck the whole first half, the score ended at mid-pe riod with the Mountaineers ahead by a 32 to 26 count. This was short lived as the reorganized Allen lads began to click, and click is just what they did. The whole team, led by tall center Bob Jones, showed a de cided improvement when the last half began. If there was some kind of a re ward for scoring the most points in the least amount of time, the prize would have gone to Allens’ center Robert Jones. He scored 9 points in the first nine minutes and by the end of four minutes, he increased it to 12. It continued to be a nip and tuck affair as each team would take the lead every few minutes. With only two minutes left in the game the score was tied at 61 all.

This will be the second meeting of the two squads. The first time, the Aggies took first places in six events, and racked up enough sec onds and thirds to bring them a 40-30 victory over the Mustangs, and they are expected to repeat in this tilt. There should be more excitement if Danny Green and Mike Muckel- roy clash again in the 50 and 100 team’s points, made two free throws to make it stand 63 to 62 in favor of the Mountaineers.

When the two teams met at Ag- gieland, Dwire took this race away from Gene Summers, to give him a slight edge in favor; however should Coach Adamson decide to swim Summers again, it will be a fight to the finish for the five point first place. Coach Adamson, in all px-dbabil- ity, will use his regular procedure of shifting the squad in order to make the meet as interesting as possible for the spectators, and yet win the clash for the Aggies. This is standard practice for the Ag gie mentor, who is more interested in a good meet than in large scores and one for which he should be commended. Lamar 66—Hendereon 63 The Lamar Cardinals from Beaumont eeked out a 66-63 vic tory over Henderson Junior Col lege in the final game last night. The game was close all the way with Lamar winning in the final minute of play. Lamar jumped into a 10-6 lead in the first five minutes of plaj and held on till Henderson, led bj W. Duncan, tied up the ball game at 24-24 with six minutes remain ing in the first half. After Lamai had gone back into the lead, Hen derson found the range once again and took a 32-29 advantage at halftime. In the second half Lamar came back to go ahead after two minutes and withstood a last minute Henderson rally to win 66-63.
