SEASON BEVTEW Although lacking in smoothness, Coach Miller's hardworking cagers began the current season with a 28 to 12 victory over Ovalo. With Elton Hailey pacing the scoring, the Snyder Tigers fell next 43 tc 10. After the Christmas holidays, the Eagles bounced Cross Plains 28 to 14. Going into the Colorado tournament with serious doubts as to their ability, the Eagles walked away with the honors, defeating Lub- bock 47 to 25, Lamesa 35 to 12, and Hamlin 37 to 26. Hailey, Dennis, and Brahaney were chosen as members of the All-Tournament team. As the season advanced, Cross Plains in a return engagement, San Angelo, and Brownwood fell to Abilene's basket- ball genius. Whipping Ovalo, Winters, and Abilene Christian Academy, the War- birds next captured the Abilene Christian College meet. Then with Hailey taking 28 points, Abilene's cagers reached their peak with a 70 to 25 victory over Carbon. 1 Breckenridge, as usual, proved a tough nut to crack, but the Warbirds crushed their way to a 59 to 18 win. Then the Eagles won their first District Meet since 1930, when they triumphed over Eorsan, Peacock, and Hamlin. Trouncing Cross Plains and San Angelo, the Blackshirts of Abilene won the Regional Meet, the next week journeying to the State Meet at Austin. There, by defeating Carey in their first game and Bowie of El Paso in the semi-finals, they qualified for the finals. Going into the finals, the Eagles met their first defeat of the season at the hands of Woodrow Wilson High School of Dallas. Frank Brahaney was chosen as a member of the All-State team and P. H. Hill as a member of the second team. This meet ended a most successful year of basketball for Abilene. Basketball has gained in prominence this year, and may - it continue to do so in the future.
