(Dedicated to Genial and reserved off duty, keenly competitive and alert in action, Coach Brooks is an exemplary sports figure. Since he came to State eight years ago, Buc cage fortunes have soared to record heights, and a high level of court conduct has matched statistical successes. Buc basketball honors achieved under Brooks’ direction are legion and emerge vividly even in summary. In seven seasons at State Coach Brooks has led the Bucs to 151 victories and five Volunteer State Athletic Conference championships. Both regular season and tournament titles are included among the laurels. The Bucs under Brooks have also, on three occasions, participated in the annual National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Tournament at Kansas City. A native of Louisiana, Coach Brooks was educated at Louisiana Polytechnic Institute and Louisiana State University. Prior to coming here he tutored Louisiana high school teams and, as a World War II Navy officer, helped coach cage activities at Pensacola Naval Air Station. His gentlemanly demeanor, pro¬ fessional skill and devotion to his duties have won him the respect and admira¬ tion of the college community and the area athletic world. Page 16
