The East Texas State College Freshmen cashed in on 40 of 50 free throws Thursday night, December 5, in Commerce to defeat the invading Bulldogs 88-69. It was the first loss of the year for Coach Tom Collins’ agers.
The Bulldogs trailed by only eight points at the half, but the free throws were too much for the Canines to overcome in the final 20 minutes.
Collins’ crew again proved to be a well-rounded scoring team as four players hit in double figures. Whitey McCabb led the way with 18 points while Westfall and Jim Johnson netted 12 each and Don Morris hit 11.
The defeat evened the Dogs’ records at 1-1.
