The team, playing in a league composed mostly of former Southwestern Conference Athletes, posted a 9-0 record despite the fact that only four of its 15 members played college football. Baylor’s potent offense scored 241 points in 8 games (an average of 30.1 points per game) while its defense was the stingiest in the league, allowing only 35 points (or an average of 4.4). One game was won by forfeit. In the championship game Baylor faced unbeaten Gaston Avenue Baptist; and in the hotly contested game which followed, the dentists-to-be came out on the winning end of a 16-12 score. Baylor scored on a 20 yard pass from quarterback G. A. Razook to Tom Howorth and on a 15 yard run by Razook. A field goal by Mike Lynch put the game on ice and handed Gaston, which was the city champion last year, its first loss in two years. The team was organized and very ably coached by Bob Smith and Mike Taylor. Their organizing and the outstanding passing of quarterback G. A. Razook, along with the catching of a host of fleet-footed re- ceivers, were responsible for the tremendous success of Baylor’s team. Although several outstanding play- ers graduate this year, the boys hope to come up with another fine team in 1966.

The Baylor Dental softballers had an admirable season for their first year in the city softball circuit. The Burrs, under manager-catcher Klare MacTavish, jumped off to a surprisingly good start to win the first half championship of their league with a 6-0 record. Moving up to a better league for the second half of the regular season, the Baylor team finished 3-3 to tie for second place. Led by pitcher Mike Gardner with a 10-4 record and Dr. Jerry Mitchell with a 2-1 record, the Burrs went through the fourth round of the city playoffs. The leading hitters for the first half were centerfielder Bob Graf and shortstop Mike Lynch. The second half leaders were second baseman Tom Graves and left- fielder Jim Economides. The leaders in the past season’s tournament were Economides and pitcher Gard- ner. 139 f i 5 Hu i awe SS LS AS a TR SSA iS SRR i TA
