Having had to play the former national champions, several division one teams, and such teams as Kansas State University, Northeastern Oklahoma, MO. West- ern and MO. Southern, Smith said his season was disappointing in that we set out to win district and go to the series but we did win the Ozark Collegiate Conference outright and we made the district playoffs again. Smith had some definite highlights in his season which included beat- ing: Arkansas Tech. in a double header, University of Wisconsin of Oskosh, Kansas State University, Central MO.
