St. Louis’ Pettit
‘Only Bright Spot’
ST. LOUIS <2Pt—Bob Pettit, who
scored 15,000 points faster than
anyone in National Basketball
Association history, was described
Wednesday by his coach as an
“all-all-all-all time great.”
Coach Fuzzy Levane said the
6-9 Pettit “does everything the
way a player should.”
Pettit has “been the only bright
spot this year,” the coach of the
fourth-place St. Louis Hawks said.
Pettit hit the 15,000 mark in
eight seasons. He sank 10 more
points befoi'e the Hawks lost to
the Philadelphia Warriors 147-137
Tuesday night.
The only NBA players ahead of
him are Dolph Schayes, Syracuse,
18,488 points in 14 seasons; Paul
Arizin of Philadelphia, 16,147 in
13 seasons, and Boston’s Bob
Cousy, 15,850 in 12 seasons.
The All-America from Louisiana
State will be honored Friday at
“Bob Pettit Night.”
This has been Pettit’s finest
year but he says “I don’t feel that
I’ve been any better than any other
year. But maybe if we were win
ning I’d feel different.”
“When the team’s going good,
you don’t notice the fatigue that’s
bound to catch up with you at this
stage of the schedule,” Pettit said
after Tuesday night’s loss—the
47th against 24 victories.
Because of the Hawks’ slump,
Pettit has been playing more min
utes this season than in any pre
vious year.

THE BATTALION
Thursday, March 1, 1962
College Station, Texas
Page 5
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
One of Texas schoolboy sports
biggest shows comes off this week
end at Austin where the forty-
second state basketball tourna
ment will be held.
For three days and nights they’ll
be looping that ball through the
hoop with scores as high as the
collegians. The record is 92 points
for one team, 165 for two.
It’s a far cry from the first
years of the Inter scholastic
League’s tournaments. Back in
the early twenties one team—Ken
edy—was held to only two points.
In 1925 Beaumont won the s f ate
championship with 14 points. Sar
Antonio, the opponent, got only
two.
In the first years of the tourna
ment the boys from the “forks of
the creek” triumphed more times
than those from the city. Little
towns like Cushing and Carey won
championships. Those were the
days when only six boys were
needed because there was no hel
ter-skelter running. The guards
were just that—they stayed down
under the basket and kept the
other side from scoring. The cen
ter stayed out in the middle of the
court. The forwards did what lit
tle scoring there was.
Running Guard Revolutionary
It was revolutionary when the
running guard came into high
school basketball—that is, the
guard left the basket guarding to
his mate and went down the court
trying to score. It was not un
common for one team to beat an
other 6-5 or 8-7. A 20-point out
put was considered a wild offen
sive.
For 21 years there was only one
division. The little towns and ru
ral communities played against the
cities and did all right. But there
came a time when it was obvious
that manpower and the privilege
of playing on an indoor court were
making the thing unequal. So
three classes were created. This
grew to five of the present day.
Winners of the most state cham
pionships are Athens and Buna.
Each has taken five. But Athens’
triumphs were back in the days
when the towns could compete with
the cities.
There will be more than 40,000
paid admissions for the tourna
ment. Once there were no crowds
at all until the teams from the top
■lasses played. Then the crowd's
size depended upon whether or not
high school was in the tournament.
That’s all changed. The crowds
that watch the Class B boys play
are as large as those that saw the
championship games 30 years ago.
