Don Xvhite. Burnett King, Cleve Branscum, Wake Wood, jimmy Simmons. Lack of Experien The Mountaineers started the season by playing host to Little Rock University. It was a game of experimentation for Coach Jones and his charges, and no combination seemed to work as the Trojans won 53 - 47. Arkansas State Teachers then came to Ozarks primed and ready to avenge the losses on their last two trips here. They prov- ed they were ready by rocking the Mountaineers 73-60. On their first road trip the Mountaineers played Ouachita Baptist College at Arkadelphia and Little Rock University. OBC won 68 - 54-g but in Little Rock, Ozarks finally found a scoring punch and won it's first game of the season 53-45. Ozarks lost its next three games and at the Christmas break stood l-7.
