Wednesday, January 14, 1953 THE BATTALION Page 3 ‘Being Ready Helps To Win—Binford By BOB BORISKIE Battalion Sports Staff Don Binford has a simple ex planation for the thrill-packed Ag gie basketball victory over Arkan sas last Saturday night at DeWare Field House. “We were all ready for the game with Arkansas,” Binford said. “Floyd is a pretty smart coach, and if we’d just play the way he tells us, we’d win a lot more games.” Don, who weighs 170 pounds and measures about 6-2, plays a dependable, strong game at either guard or forward, and is frequent ly shifted back and forth between these two positions. Played Under Floyd He greatly admires Coach John Floyd, having played high school basketball under him while a sen ior at Wellington, Kan. He also earned two basketball letters at Wichita East High, Wichita, Kan. Feeling that the Arkansas vic tory was really significant, Don said, “To beat Arkansas really helped the moi’ale of the ball club. We’re gonna lose some games, but we’re gonna win a lot, too.” Scoring 21 points in the double overtime Arkansas game, Binford wound up as high scorer for the night, and had no advice to offer to less successfud basket shooters. “Sometimes they go down, and sometimes they don’t. If you only knew how to be sure of that bucket .” Recovered Spark Don believes that the Aggies have recovered that spark of con fidence, and will be tough opposi tion for everybody in the league for the remainder of the season. “If we can keep everybody play ing like they played Saturday, Ve’ll do all right,” Binford said. He admitted that prior to the fame, he felt the Arkansas club would have a great deal to say about possession of rebounds, but nnvTTa Bryan 2SS79 NOW SHOWING NOW SHOWING Kirk Douglas —in— “’THE BIG SKY” CIRCLE 4-1250 Children under 12—FREE when accompanied by an adult.

Leroy Miksch and Rodney Pirtle were especially effective under the basket, and this resulted in fre quent Aggie ball control, which drove the frantic, fast-breaking Hogs into making many mistakes. None of the conference opposi tion particularly awes Binford, and he says that the SWC champion in basketball for the present season probably will be able to lose three league games and still retain un disputed possession of the title.
