E. SPRAWLS If Runt had played in no games other than those in the A. A. U. tournament, he would have easily lettered. Going in for B. Pippen, he scored 33 points to rank third in scoring honors for the tournament. Fast as lightning and a dead-eye for the basket, Runt would make a good forward for any team. W. SMITH Bill played his second year with the Loboes at guard. A good consistent player that can always be depended on and a guard that is hard for the opposing team to pass, Bill displayed better foot- work and better head-work than any man he played against. H. PIPPEN Cotton came up from the pup team of last year so letter and play forward. Pippen played the position like a vet- eran, a good dribbler, fast and using ex- cellent headwork, he showed Coach Golightly that he was capable of holding his own with any team, He has three years yet and a great basket ball future. L. ANDRUS Levi graduated from the pup team and developed into a crack center. Andrus stands a little over six feet and he goes into the air after the ball and seldom fails to get the tip-off. He is also a powerful offensive threat by his ability to follow up another man's shot and shove the ball through the basket. Levi will also return for another year. One Hundred Twenty one

YEAGER Captain Yeager led his team through four championships for the most success- ful season in Basket Ball in the history of Cisco High School. Yeager was the most consistent guard in the state and was selected on the second All-State team. Clif is fast, a wonderful dribbler, and an accurate basket tosser from the center of the court. V B. PIPPEN The best forward in the Oil-Belt and an all-round player covering the court well and a good defense man. Brit led the team in scoring for the season, ring- ing something over 200 points. Brittain will be back next year and is certain to land an All-State berth. l GEO. VAN HORN George came to Cisco from Kansas with a basket ball reputation. He alter- nated at guard and forward and put up a good game in either position. He is quick as a flash and covered more court than any other man on the team. George will be back next year and should be a sensation. One Hundred Twenty I L. PURVIS Purvis was late in getting started, but when he did-? Leroy broke loose in the second Ranger game and rang baskets from every conceivable angle, and, as the season progressed, he grew better with every game. Purvis has a good eye for the basket, and there are few better forwards than Leroy.
