Probably his greatest zbason was his last. In that year Davis scor ed 636 points. 11 He lettered four years in high school, and was placed ]on an all- cfistHct selection, his. last three Seasons.

In, that one Davis meshed 31 points', a feat that was tied by Texas’ Tom Hamilton recently when he did the same thing in a game against TCU. J. Although capable of lettering in. two spring sports, Davis hasn’t made up his mind yet whether he will participate in basebal 1 or track. A very capable first base- man, Buddy played ball on the diamond even before he started in the hoop racket. Quite a sensation was caused when the sports woidd found out Davis could scissor over the high jump bar at 6’ 1”. Even more sensational was the fact that Col. Andy had him over the bar at 6’ 4” using a “Western roll” at the end of the season.

The game ended with the Fish holding the ball. ^ 7 Game Reversal of Previous One Yesterday’s game was the verse of the previous meeting tween the two teams which Lon Morris won although the Fish sunk the majority of the ] goals, the Bearcats came through to beat them on free shots. The team dropped in 22, buckets to for the Fish, who cashed in 14 free shots while the opposite, „ connected with only il in yestelr- dsy’s game.

Although Coach O. P.
