The old record of 42 points was set in 1956 by Wayne Lawrence, former A1I-SWC forward. High for the Apaches was Folly Malone with 27 points. Malone has made a brilliant comeback after suffering an early season ankle injury. Leading at halftime, 42-37, the Fish continued their lead until 14 minutes left in the game when the lead began to change hands. Malone Does Damage • SPORTS Bennie Lenox ... a new record With five minutes left, Ma lone broke the Fish’s back as he scored three straight hook shots. The Fish were never able to scrape together an other rally to overcome the five- point lead kindled by Malone. Forward Lynn Merritt and guard Dave Johnson were the next high scorers behind Lenox as they scored 12 and nine points respec tively. As usual, playmaker John son played a fine game. It was a rough game as three Fish—Lenox, Merritt and Cecil Ferguson, fouled out.

RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer Fort Worth’s indoor track meet was a revelation. And it opened up some great possibilities for winter sports in Texas. With all respects to basketball, the sports scene is mighty dull during the winter months. Bas ketball is about all there is and something is needed to fill in. The Fort Worth high school coaches got together and worked out what they called the Will Rogers Indoor Games. It was a track meet with the schedule of events resembling those of the eastern indoor games. It took considerable courage and faith in the sport of track to put on this meet in the Will Rogers Coliseum. No one was more amaz ed than the coaches when 7,200 paid their way in and 2,000 were turned away. Of course, there were some good reasons why the indoor meet drew so well. The slack sports season was one. The novelty of an in door meet was another. The work of the coaches in selling tickets to insure its financial success was another. •) The enthusiasm of the track coaches for a winter indoor meet so they could get an early start in competition was still another good reason. Track teams that do not enter the Southwestern Recrea tion meet, an outdoor track and field carnival in March, turned up for the indoor show. The coaches and athletes were delighted • with the meet. They marveled that it was run off so well and that such good marks were produced considering the fact that it was the first effort and, of course, there would be un- forseen difficulties. Everybody agreed that it was a shot in the arm for a sport that never has been one to attract many spectators and seldom pays a profit at the gate. They made about $3,000 off the Will Rogers Indoor Games. It is believed that within three years there will be a circuit of in door meets in Texas. Dallas al ready is talking about holding one in its livestock coliseum on the State Fair grounds. Houston can be expected to follow suit. With these indoor meets the track season can start in January or February. FINAL CLEARANCE SALE WE MUST HAVE SPACE FOR OUR NEW SPRING CLOTHES SO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE DRAS TIC REDUCTIONS NOW.
