in 1958-59 and his aggressiveness forced him to commit 82 personal
fouls, a team high mark held jointly with Buddy Hudson. Price
never lets up when he goes on the court.
In 48 collegiate games through his first two years at Norman,
Price hit double figures in the scoring tables in 29 of them. He
hit this category in the last ten games he played as a junior.
Heidebrecht is the young 6-6 gentlemen from Inman, Kan.,
who scored in double figures in nine of the 16 Sooner games in
which he was a participant last winter. A knee operation forced
him to miss the final nine OU games which saw the Sooners
charge down the stretch to take second place in the Big Eight
behind Kansas State.
Del also set a new individual free throwing record for one
while a senior at Denver.
At the preset moment, Etheridge is Oklahoma’s starting cen-
ter and he might hold down that job throughout the 1959-60 cam-
paign. His rebounding potential is great and he’s proved be can

Last year as a freshman, he was the Boomers’ second lead-
ing scorer with 40 total points in three games good for a 13.3
average. He missed one tilt because of an ankle injury.

inal franchises in the proposed
new major league, the Conti-
nental.
Howsam’s plan, a system of
distributing rights to negotiate
with unsigned youngsters, is
similar to professional foot-
ball and basketball’s selection
of college stars. Under the pro-
posal, all free agents would be
put into a common player pool,
with major and minor league
clubs taking turns in drawing
tor rights to them.
Three meetings are contem-
plated each year—March 15.
June 15 and October 15—to pro-
vide opportunities for selecting
the available high school and
collegeplayers. The plan is ex-
pected to be killed because of
baseball’s fear of unfavorable
congressional reaction.
Another Howsam proposal is
to make all minor league play-
ers, regardless of their experi-
ence. eligible for draft. The
only restriction is that no more
than five players be selected
from one club. Currently, a
player can be left in the
minors four years before be-
coming subject to the regular
draft. This plan also doesn’t
seem to have much chance of
passing.
The bonus rule, scrapped two
years ago, comes up for an-
other .airing. An amendment
by the Louisville club would
restore the bonus rule, desig-
nating all free agents given
56,000 above their salary as
bonus players. As such, he
would be subject to unrestrict-
ed draft if optioned to the
minors.

indicated no further plan to
select. Then it was the minors’
turn, starting with the leagues
of triple-A classification.
Last year's draft elevated 30
players, a dozen to the majors
at a 5300,000 outlay. Only three
leaguers are in attendance,
they are being discreetly close-
mouthed about the new inter-
league trading which became
effective Nov. 20, and runs
through Dec. 15. The big
leaguers feel they should not
steal the spotlight from the
minors and are biding their
time until the major league
meetings starting in Miami
Beach next Monday.
There is an undercurrent of
talk concerning major league
expansion and the proposed
third big league. American
league president Joe Cronin
said he expected a report from
his three-man fact-finding com-
mittee on expansion.
"The American league is se-
riously considering expansion,”
he reiterated. "Any talk that
we are merely creating a
smoke screen to harass the
Continental league is ridicu-
lous. The league agreed to ex-
plore the possibility of expan-
sion as far back as five years
ago. We are certainly not op-
posed to having a third major
league. If a third major league
as well as expansion is feasi-
ble I’m for it."

man said he saw no expansion

Saturday at Norman between glances at the humdinger which
the Big Red and the Cowboys staged on the gridiron Ross Porter
told me that Coach Parrack might have a couple of sophomores in
his starting lineup against Texas Western Wednesday night.
One is George Kernek, the 6-2 southpaw shooter from Holden-
ville. The other is Brian Etheridge, a native Oklahoman who has
returned home to help the Sooners capture the Big Eight cage pen-
nant.
And Doyle could have two lefthanders on his club. The other
portsider is Raymond Lewis. Right now Kernak and Lewis are
fighting it out for the starting guard position alongside Dennis
Price, the Norman veteran.
Then there is Del Heidebrecht, the Sooners’ second most pro-
ficient scorer, average-wise last year, who is making a strong bid
, to nail down one of the forward spots.

Ono chief reason why the Sooners finished second in the rugged
Big Eight conference last year was because of Raymond Lewis’
blazing finish.
In the final eight games of the circuit chase, Lewis, the
Achille senior southpaw, ripped the nets for 115 points or an average
of 14.4 a contest. This gave him a season total of 190, coming
after be scored only 75 points in the first 17 games of 1958-59.
Lewis was in double figures in all of those eight tilts, including
a 20-point barrage against Kansas State, then the nation's No. 1
team. Earlier in the year, Ray sparkled with an 18-point evening
against Minnesota at Minneapolis.
A 6-3, 195-pounder, Lewis had the honor of remaining in all
25 Sooner frays. He did not foul in any ball game, a mark
envied by many coaches.
His free throw percentage of 73.5 percent was tops on the club.
Now married, the business education major learned his basket-
ball from his dad, Charles Lewis, who was highschool coach at
Achille.
