As a sophomore last season, the "Big O" beat out such stars as Seattle's Elgin Baylor and Kansas' Wilt ("The Stilt") Chamberlain for national scoring honors, made 984 points (average: 35.14 a game), was named Player of the Year.

Another was a preacher who persuaded Sam Houston to get rid of his Indian mistress and stop drinking. Another was a member of the Texas legislature.
