His amazing Aggie^, who two weeks before had clinched the second conference visitation cham pionship in a row, had just run over Virginia Union University, 95-76, to capture the second con secutive tournament flag. It was the first time in history of the conference that this had been ac complished. The Aggies had broken another tournament record in scoring 115 points on Virginia Stale College in the semi-finals, the largest turn ed in by any team during the 14- year tournament activity. Cal ventured the opinion that this same team may have been the best in the history of conference. "About the only way we could have been better was to have been exposed to higher quality compe tition, week in and week out,” he said. Irvin still wonders about the full potential of his team. The Aggies won the games which should have been easy, the hard way, usually by slim margins, but in those Willt Sttii Siient On Wlietiier tie'il lleaye Trotters for NBA lice's Golf Game is Explored NEW YORK—“He gets pretty Eisenhower. steamed up when he misses a shot, and he cusses a little under his breath.” The foregoing could probably be used to describe almost anybody who plays golf, but the man it refers to is the President of the United States, golfer Dwight D. This, and other revealing facts about how well, and how badly, the President really plays, appears in the tee-off issue 9f GOLF, the new. monthly magazine which went on sale March 5, at newsstands and in pro shops everywhere. NEW YORK—What is Wilt (The Stilt). Chamberlain going to do next season? Will he stay with the fabulously rich Harlem Globe trotters, or will be join the Phil adelphia Warriors of the National Basketball Association? Those arc the big questions everyone interested in profession al basketball is asking as the cur rent season reaches its final stages. The queries were tossed at Chamberlain here last week after he put on another sensational per formance with the victorious Glob- trotters in Madison Square Garden. Wilt, who is now earning $65,- 000 with Abe Saperstein’s great Trotter quintet, sparred witfi’ the newspapermen here but offered no definite answer. “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it,” the ex-Kansas University All-Amer- can said. “Right now. I’m very, very happy with the Globetrotters. I’m having a wonderful time.” The Warriors drafted the 7-foot cage artist last year. lie cannot, however, join Philadelphia until his class at Kansas graduates in June, according to NBA rules. Even then he may not. One New York writer inquired: “Can Phil adelphia pay Chamberlain $65,000, the highest salary in ba.sketball history?” The answer should be forthcoming soon. th Annual Statement YEARS OF PROGRESS !■ pfMenllng thb Mtti Auwal Statement n{ (lie Financial Condition of the Compan; on behalf •( the director*, oVicer^ other employees and itlie policyowners, I do It with a deep sense of gratitude to our founders and early pioneers, and all others who bave in any way contribnted to the present achievement.

Besides above ordinary skill in the game. Coach Irvin says that tremendous team spirit and ef fective defense were the team's biggest assets. “These boys not only like the game, but they love each other,” is the best way he puts it. They are well disciplined, they never -break training rules and in are top notch physical con dition for every engagement and very rarely tire during a full game. The Aggie defense ranks among the best in the conference. While Charlie Harrison, the big 6-6yi center, had a lower rebounding average this season over last when he led the nation among small colleges in this category, this hap pened only because two other Ag gies have done much better jobs in that department this season. They are Joe Cotton and Herb Gray. There were just fewer left for Harrison. Almost everylwdy agrees that Joe Howell, who averaged better than 20 points per game this sea son is the backbone of the team. He does about everything well. He is a good shot from the free throw line and from about any point on the floor, but his amazing ball handling and playmaking are equally outstanding. During his four years of competition, Howell has scored the largest number of points than any basketball player in the history of the college. What about next year? Who will replace Jodlowell? In answer to these questions, Cal, shrugged his shoulders. “We knew four years ago that Joe would not be around for the 59-60 campaign and we have prepared for that.” Iijvin con tinued, “It might be a long time to find a player to replace Joe Howell. They come along only pc- casionally and we will miss hin> a lot.” The Aggies, while losing thJre top performers via graduation ^in Howell, Harrison and Vince Miller, have some vei^ promising sop}io- mores moving up, not individual stars, but good “team men,” the sort that Irvin and any coach lik;es. 0 MVC Captures SCAC Tourney Season Titles TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alumni, Delta basketball fans, and Missis sippi Vocational College witnessed the awakening of the proverbial “sleeper” as the Delta Devil Cag- ers swept the South Central Ath letic Conference clean of honors. Fighting desperately to recover from an early season handicap when they dropped three confer ence games in a row, the Devils bounced back to win 7 straight, games and gain the title of “SCAC Visitation Co-Champs” with Mississippi Industrial College at 7 wins and 3 losses in conference play. The Delta Devils, under the mentorship of Cqach Paul Col lins, caught fire in Tournament play to blast Alcorn College 101- 80, and Stillman College 73-65 to cop the second honor of the sea son, “SAC Tournament (Champs” for^ the 4th consecutive seasqn.
