huil him on the tiench nearly half
the season last year lie was placed
on the all-Missouri Valley conference
team at the completion of his first
campaign but was relegated to a second-team
berth last year
Jones can he used at any position
a fact which I think adds to his credit
He can work well with anyone too
lie was selected as the most valuable
player in the Oklahoma City charity
tournament last winter an honor
which is ddKitablc
To find someone wins will surpass
Jones In ability I have to go an

name Uartnn Carlton and Clarence
Phillips of East Central Ray' Piper
Richard “Mixm" Mullins ' and Dave
Perkins of Pliil1i)s These should
suffice:
To evin compare Jones with any
of these men would he regarded as
an injustice to them There are many
all-Americans in the group For one
there's Drake who Earl Jones calls
"the greatest drilibler basketball has
ever huiL” Drake was truly an all-
American and he was more than just
a dribbler as this rank suggests
Another is Drowning a two-tlihe
