JAMES SPIVEY This 6'5” pivotman is known throughout the basketball circles as one of the most outstanding players in the ‘smallcollege’ ranks. Last year as a sophomore he led the Savages to national prominence in the NAIA tourney at Kansas City, where they were beaten by a great team from East Texas State in the finals. James was chosen as the “Most Valuable Player” in the tourney and was awarded his All-American laurels. At the time of this printing he is once again proving his wares as he leads the Okla- homa Collegiate Conference with a 31 point average. Anyone who meets this shy, unassum- ing’ young man and watches him perform on the maples will readily see that he deserves his All-American distinction. BUD AAHNER When the Helms Foundation picked the small college All-American football stars this year it was no surprise when Bud was given a position on the dream team. He was a starter on the Savage team four years and played three different positions, guard, center and tackle. 1 Jn addition to his feats on the gridiron Bud is a leader in numerous campus affairs. He is president of Blue Key and holds the office of vice-president of his fraternity.

A QUICK GLANCE AT THE '55 SEASON. . . As far as victories were concerned the ’55 Savage football season was below average but a second look reveals a different slant. There were three victories, over Ouachita, Ardmore AFB, and the 3-2 thriller over East Central in the home- coming game. The strong Memphis Naval Air Station was tied 20-20. In four successive games the Savages lost ty scores 13-2, 13-6, 13-7 and 14-6. Any or all of these games could have been victories with a favorable break. Lack of experience and depth were the prime reasons Coach Dave Stevens' charges failed to finish higher on the conference ladder.

CLEO HALL BILL JONES BILL McCARTHY CHARLES SIDE SAVAGE BASKETBALL OKLAHOMA COLLEGIATE CHAMPIONS... The Savage basketball team of '55-'56 had a man-sized job facing them in attempting to mold another season as successful as the one of ’34-’55. After a slow start the team commenced to roll and in mid-February it was tied for the conference leadership with Central and OBU. Hard hit by graduation in the spring of '55, Coach Sullivan began working with eight lettermen and eight freshmen. Three key men were lost during the year and the team showed the strain of playing without enough experienced men. Some of the freshmen hit their stride and Jimmy Green bolstered the squad when he transferred from Oklahoma A M at mid-term. From all indications the roundballers of SSC are headed for another banner year in the Oklahoma Collegiate Conference. 7 MM BILLY JOHNSON lunior Guard—V 10' LEON KENNEDY Senior Guard— 6' BILL GIBSON Junior Center—6'4U JOE HHGHSTON Junior Guard Vi I Snag Kennedy goes high to get off a shot in the first East Central game.
