...Hank Iba, basketball coach of the Oklahoma Aggies, is much too sly to be stampeded into using newfangled methods. When he takes his players to the big city, they play horse& -buggy basketball. There is no furious running or frantic shooting. Calmly and deliberately, they throttle the game down ; the Aggies seldom score many points and allow the opposition even fewer.

Next day Phog Allen wrote Iba questioning "the advisability of continuing basketball competition between our schools...

On his way back was another: General Ariosto Herrera, leader of the Movimiento Nadonalista, a Nazified party which made another unsuccessful Putsch...
