An injured Ranger gets special attention from Coach Smith and fellow teammate. Texas Conference Charles Brawner poured in 39 points for the individual high- scoring performance of the season for the Rangers. The miniature point explosion came on January 29, but it was not enough to offset the combined San Jacinto attack and SAC fell for their fourth straight Conference loss. Brawner came close to the all-time SAC scoring record and field goal mark in his bid to pull out the game. In 1960 Sonny Schlameus scored 44- points against Victoria in a record performance that still stands. Brawner's 15 field goals fell four short of the record held by Roland Lopez, also in 1960. In their next outing, ex-bench warner Johnnie Teran poured it on for 25 points against Schreiner Institute to finally clinch SAC's second conference Win 77-68.

With the victory, SAC became one of the early leaders in the conference. However, following the Christmas holiday break, the Rangers took to the road and were dumped by four straight conference foes. The first defeat was' incurred by Blinn Junior College and broke a SAC winning streak of six straight. To make matters worse, the loss knocked them out of the league lead. The SAC cagers lost their second conference game to one of the most powerful junior colleges in Texas-Wharton. Eighth- ranked in the nation, Wharton downed the Rangers only after a hard battle 94--79. South Texas Seahawks of Houston pinned the third conference defeat on SAC, 102-97. The Rangers enjoyed a margin in field goals but excessive fouling, cashed in by the Seahawks, spelled the difference. Nobody seems to know where the ball is except one Stag player. S
