FORMER TEAMMATES—Oscar Robertson and Bob Hickman.
Hickman, Robertson Renew Friendship
A couple of old friends renewed acquaintances last Thursday when Cincinnati's Oscar Robertson and KU's Bob Hickman got together.
The two basketball players first met when their high school teams met on the courts back in Indiana. Robertson was a standout at Crispus Attucks High in Indianapolis, Ind. and Hickman was starring on the Grauysmer High squad.
The two met twice in their senior year and at one meeting Hickman held Robertson to his lowest total of the year, 15 points. Hickman scored 14 in the game won by Rob-
ertson's team.
The two then crossed paths when they were chosen to play in the Indiana-Kentucky All-Star game. Sportswriters and coaches chose what they considered the top 10 basketball players in Indiana. They wore the number in the order they were chosen. Robertson was chosen the top player, thus he wore number one. Hickman was chosen the second best player in the state and wore the numeral two on his jersey.

Barnett Leads Tennessee A & I To NAIA Title

The Tennesseeans, ranked third, polished off top-ranked Western Illinois 85-73. It was the first loss in 28 games for Western Illinois which twice before had been defeated in the tournament finals. Springfield, Mo., State is the only other team to have won the week-long event twice consecutively (1952-53).
Barnett's 31 points in the finale gave him 141 points in five tournament games.
Bill Mcfaoos, Western Illinois, was presented the tournament's "hustle award" and Barnett was named "most valuable player."
Texas Southern romped off with the third place trophy with a record-shattering 121-109 victory over Georgetown in the consolation final

games, scoring 39 points in one and 41 in the other. For his play he was chosen the most valuable player of the meet.
Hickman said Thursday Robertson was one of the finest basketball players he had ever seen but would still pick his teammate Wilt Chamberlain above him.
Kansas Sixth In Billiards Event
A 3-man KU billiards team placed sixth in the Peterson trophy race of the National Intercollegiate Billiards Air Mail Tournament played in March. The team was entered in three divisions and took two fifth places and one ninth. Baylor University got the traveling trophy.
Members of the KU tournament team were: James P. Noffsinger, assistant professor of architecture, Ted A. Diehl, Lawrence freshman, Dannie P. Gomez, Hutchinson senior.
Ratings were made according to total points made by the 38 college and university teams entered. The annual play-offs are sponsored by the American Billiards Congress in cooperation with Charles C. Peterson, former billiards world champion, and the school Unions. Results were mailed to Iowa State University Union officials.
KU placed fifth out of 38 schools entered in a 10-inning pocket billiards game (type 14-1 continuous), fifth out of 22 teams played 15 innings of cushion billiards and ninth out of 24 teams playing 12 innings of straight rail. Diehl was high point man in all KU games.
The top three individual scorers will meet to play face to face at Ames, Iowa later in the Spring. Diehl was a close runner-up for individual honors with his 98 points out of a possible 100 in pocket billiards. However, three other men each scored 100 points.
Eight schools had three women teams competing in pocket billiards.
