The only game his father fail

was the one played jn Dallas
against SMIT. “He oven wanted
to go to Arkansas”, said Buddy,
“but Mom wouldn't lot him.”
Davis racket! up 162 points in
12 games last season to lead the
Fish baskethatlers to oRe of their
finest campaigns in recent years.
His whole family, including his

Probably * his greatest one game

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.

bailer has collected over 200 points
