Ben Gray named Moody Center director Mr. Ben Gray was named Director of Moody Center in mid summer of 1971 and proceeded to change the image of the SUB from a place that students avoided to a Center based on the concept of flexibility to meet the needs of the student. To meet this concept, Ben, as he likes to be called, instituted a three phase plan to redecorate Moody Center. Phase one, completed during the Christmas Break, provided a bright new look with yellow and orange paint and new bulletin boards for the different campus organizations. To give more interest to the activities, current movies were shown from time to time in the chapel auditorium sponsored by the Student Center. Coke hours were held during the first semester with varying degrees of success. The Bread and Butter Players met with student approval during the supper hour as they portrayed different aspects of student life in a humorous Housed in the Moody Center are the University Post Office, Cafeteria, games room and bowling alley, barber shop, book store, snack bar and meeting rooms for on and off campus groups.

He was surrounded by friends, because friends were a major part of his life. But the thing he loved most was basketball, and that is where we will truly miss him. Glen Whitis was a good coach, although some people thought he drove his team too hard. Chances are you'll find that his play- ers loved him for what he taught them, both on and off the court. He was tough, but they had fun together. He's still coaching our team, or at least that’s what I believe. No matter where we go. Coach Whitis will be with us, because we can remember what he was like and what he stood for. Those who were closer to him knew him better, but at least all of us at H-SU had the the privilege of knowing him. — THE H-SU BRAND, Feb. 25, 1972. SiSagSS££ySSSSoS£S5l2£S = 2SoS Cowboys great in the stretch, with 9 wins in final 12 games If you count only the last 12 games, the Cowboys had an out- standing basketball season. The record was 9 wins and 3 losses, which if projected over an entire 26-game season, would have given them a berth in postseason playoffs. The turnabout came after the Centenary game at Shreveport. The Pokes came home to wallop South Alabama 96-79, then follow up with victories over Midwestern, Houston Baptist, Pan American, Texas-Arlington before a trip to Oklahoma City. Up there, the Chiefs again were victorious, but it was every bit as exciting as the 3-over- time affair they played earlier in Abilene. The final score was 95-94, the game ending on a questionable bit of rules interpreting. A brief letdown followed as the Cowboys let Midwestern whip them at Wichita Falls. But once back at home, H-SU regained its form and downed McMurry, Trinity, and ACC in succession. After Coach Whitis's tragic death, the Cowboys voted to finish the season and to make up a game with Pan-American cancelled be- cause of the accident. Centenary found the Cowboys tougher at home, but managed to win in overtime. Then in the finale at Edin- burg, the Cowboys edged Pan American 75-74, becoming the only team this season to down the Broncs twice. Cowboy Club boosts H-SU athletic program Headed by Don Seamster, former H-SU basketball and golf star who is now an Abilene attorney, the Cow- boy Club contributed greatly to the university’s athletic program during the year. For one thing, the Club's dues provide funds for some of the extras which the school couldn't afford otherwise. One project this year was the purchase of a universal gym for Rose Field House, a bit of equipment which al- lowed athletes to tone up their muscles which count The Club also formed the nucleus of the most ardent cheering section at H-SU home games in Taylor County Coliseum. All members get reserved seats and are faith- ful in attendance. The final project of the school year was sponsorship of the annual All-Sports Banquet, held May 8 in Moody Center. Cowboy Club members financed the affair, from the meal through the trophies. the Athletic Dept, by the Cowboy Club. Carpenter top scholar Mark Carpenter, senior basketball player from Denver, was given the trophy for having the highest grade point average of any athlete this year. Carpenter, 6-5 forward, was named Hustling Cowboy as a junior, and started many Mark graduated in May and was to marry Gail Beam, a 1971 graduate and former HSU cheerleader. Voice of the Cowboys heard on KRBC Radio Walter Grubbs, the Congressman’s aide who does sportscasting as a sideline, com- pleted his fifth straight year as play-by-play announcer for all Cowboy games. an assistant coach or team counselor. They all know he's their friend and that he suffers scriptions bring the game vividly into living rooms back home. Berry takes reins for two final basketball games Russell Berry, longtime associate of Glen Whitis as a player and assistant, became head coach and athletic di- rector this spring on unanimous recommendation of a joint faculty-Trustee selection committee. Berry, 31, succeeded the man who taught him most of what he knows about the game of basketball, but he doesn't plan to try to fill the shoes of the late Glen Whitis. “I was perfectly satisfied to be an assistant so long as I could work for Coach Whitis,” Berry said. I cannot fill his shoes. We were different in a lot of ways. I'll coach my own way and just hope we can win like Coach Whitis did. Berry's first duties as acting head coach after Whitis was killed was to direct the Cowboys through their final two games of the season. The first one was a close, heart- breaker — an overtime loss to Centenary in Taylor County Coliseum. The finale was at Edinburg, where the Cowboys edged the Pan American Broncs for the second time this season. Recruiting new players kept Berry busy most of the spring and early summer. He was having some success, signing a couple of hot freshman prospects along with a promising transfer from Alabama. Williams, Brown, Jones win cage awards Charles Ray Williams captured three trophies at the All-Sports banquet, including the coveted W. W. Haynes Award which goes to an athlete chosen each year on the basis of character, sportsmanship, and ability. Williams also was honored and Ron Jones was given a trophy for being the . Brown and Jones will be seniors next year.

It was the university's first pure basketball team in two years, and lack of warm bodies caused the varsity to lend sophomore Ricky Flowers to the Buttons’ cause after mid-season. The staff had recruited 10 freshmen. They all didn't finish the season, but those who did are counted on to come through for the varsity during the next few Leading scorer was Donnie Wood, who made a total of 257 points for a 14.3 average. Jeff Jamison was second with 13.3. The biggest point production of the year was 101 against Weatherford Junior College. The 84 by Ranger was the most scored against them. Highest individual performance came from Wood who had 29 against UT-Arlington. Jamison had 27 against Weatherford. Two of the freshmen. Wood and Randy Jarnigan, played in the annual Texas High School Coaches Assn. All- Star game last summer. ‘Vice Squad’ responds to Preston's coaching A tough but genial ex-Marine lieutenant directed the freshman team to a winning season and helped considerably with the varsity. Preston Vice, who used to play against the Cowboys as a McMurry Indian, also helped with scouting and other chores while earning a master's degree. He’ll be a full- time assistant on the Cowboy varsity staff next fall. Vice graduated from McMurry in 1966 and served as an assistant there for two Little All American two years and scored 41 points for a single game McMurry record in 1962. Cowboys win city baseball crown from ACC The Cowboy baseball team won 3 of 5 games from ACC and captured the City Championship this spring to cap off their best season since the sport was re- vived in 1969. The Cowboys won 16 and lost 23, and could easily have broken the .500 mark with a little luck. They lost a lot of close ones, some of them in spite of the fines pitching H-SU has ever had. Lee Fisher, big lefthander who completed his fourth year with the Cowboys, won the trophy for having the best earned run average, an excellent 1.80. Leading hitter was Bob Pufal, junior first baseman who batted .317. The Hustling Cowboy trophy went to Jack Brady, junior shortstop. Most valuable player was Larry Frymire, senior out- fielder from Odessa. (Si Smith's first season sees Pokes improve Doug Smith switched from player to coach for the Cow- boy baseball team this season, and guided them to the most wins H-SU has had in a single year since the sport was reinstated in 1969. Smith was on that 1969 team, and played catcher for three straight years. He was out- standing as a player, both behind the plate and at the plate as he was one of the team's leading hitters every year. One of Coach Smith’s ideas gained nationwide pub- licity for the Cowboys. That was the four “bat girls, whom Smith’s wife Etta suited up in hotpants to help out in home games. Smith believes the plan helped the morale of players and fans alike, and plans more of the same next Golfers play fall schedule for first time It wasn't the best year to make the move, but H-SU extended its intercollegiate golf season by adding a fall schedule this year. The results in the way of winning weren’t too sensational, but the slim golf squad represented the university well in tournaments and team matches throughout the Southwest. Paul Stuerzenberger, junior from Abilene, won the Outstanding Golfer Award for the second straight year by compiling the lowest individual score. Stuerzenberger and Tommy Springer won valuable publicity for the school by winning the championship of the annual team tournament at Dyess Air Force Base. The season started with five varsity golfers. But at the end of the first semester Richard Finch, freshman from Fort Worth, dropped out, leaving only four, the minimum, left to play out the spring schedule. This slate, inciden- tally, consisted mostly of tournaments, including the annual Abilene Intercollegiate, which H-SU hosted this year. Greg Peck “walked on during the spring season to help in a couple of tournaments. Dr. George Housewright, head of the Economics Department and an ardent golfer, took over as coach again after a year's absence. mm 1972 SEASON RECORD Women's basketball team short, but enthusiastic The girls’ basketball team, short of stature but strong in spirit, played a full schedule and entered several tour- naments, including one they hosted in early February. The team also challenged the faculty in a benefit game, playing men's rules and came out winner. Coach- ing the team was Sue Jennings of the Department of Health and Physical Education. Karen Page gets a lift from Ada Feaster as Debbie Graham Girls’ volleyball team hosts district tourney Hosting a nine-team tournament was the high- light of the season for H-SU girls' volleyball team. The tournament was held in early November, with Sue Jennings, H-SU coach, serving as director. The tournament was the district playoff of the Texas Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. The H-SU team also played a regular schedule, winning several games and becoming noted as a scrappy, hustling, gutty team. Lack of height was their chief disadvantage. Broader intramural program attracts more students A broader program of Intramural sports, with more students taking part, was carried out this year. It started early in September with a swimming meet in the Mar- ston Gym pool, then continued through such sports as men's flag football, basketball, golf, softball, bowling and track. trophies awarded in the spring. Sigma Delta Sigma social club won first place in the men's sweepstakes race. Alpha Kappa Psi came in sec- ond with the Gents, an independent group, ranking third. In the women's division. Phi Phi Phi social club won first place, with PEMMOS (P.E. majors and minors) plac- ing second and Delta social club third. The program this year was governed by the Intramu- ral Council, a student group composed of team manag- ers, one to a participating organization. Serving as non- voting members were two students and the Faculty Advi- sory Committee. Faculty director of the program was Miss Sue Jen- nings, instructor ir Physical and Health Education.

PEMMOS Varsity cheerleaders keep the crowds alive, generate support for Cowboys With a complete new repertoire of yells, the varsity cheerleaders this year were always there to stir up the crowds at Cowboy basketball games. What they did was use more short yells and chants to keep the fans busy all through the game. There were less acrobat- ics, but enough to entertain the audience when there The cheerleaders made several trips, including the Texas-Arlington game and the Midwestern game at Wichita Falls. They also decorated Taylor County Coli- seum with Cowboy banners and sponsored a lengthy telegram to the team for the season-opener against Benji Wofford Freshman cheerleaders spur Buttons to victory Tryouts for freshman cheerleader was an early highlight of the fall semester, and it resulted in the election of three boys and three girls who possessed strong lungs and unflagging spirits. The frosh cheerleaders had to be in the coliseum early, usually even before the supper hour, as the freshman basketball team played preliminary games before the varsity moved in.

A journal- ism and Spanish major, Miss Easton served as assistant editor of the 1970-71 Brand and staff writer the year before. She was the first female editor of the Brand since 1967. Special editions included special coverage for the dedica- tion of Mabee Hall, the tip-off edition for basketball, a special April Fool edition, entitled the H-SU Bland, and an edition giving special coverage to Western Week. Two special pages were published twice during the year. One insert urged a campaign for library fund raising, the other highlighted the orange picking trip made by students, faculty and administra- tion to kick-off a mass campaign for funds for an ultra-mod- ern library building. Short-handed most of the year, the Brand depended on stu- dents in journalism classes and officers from organizations to supply information for news stories. News coverage extended over the campus, included sports, academics, club activities and special projects of classes and students.
