Despite the fact that the baskethall team of the College of Dentistry played under many adverse circumstances, the players posted a respectable 8-5 record for this season. The league in which the team played was the best in Dallas, as was evidenced by the fact that all four teams in Baylor’s league were in the semi-finals of the city tournament. Baylor won several games by large margins and also beat Woodard Motors 69-67 in overtime to climax the first half of the season and finish first in league play. During the final half, the Burrs dropped one point decisions to Liberty National Bank and Wood- ard Motors to close out the season and place third in the league. Previous losses were by 6 points to Liberty and 8 points to the eventual city champions, Wade Furniture Company, 104-96. In the city tournament, Baylor scored easy victories over the Dallas Silents 96-63, and A. T. fhe 88-53, to advance to the semi-finals. In this contest, the Burrs were defeated by last year’s cham- pion, Woodard Motors, 62-61 on a free throw with eight seconds left. Baylor was led throughout the season by player-coaches Mike Allen and Rick Herrscher. Tom Hedrick, G. A. Razook and Richard Allen rounded out the starting five and furnished able as- sistance.
