...encouraging sign from amidst the disappointment of the varsity basketball ason is the 12-2 record of the freshman team. This is one of the best won-lost percentages for a Yardling quintet in many years, and the hackneyed cry "Wait till next year" is being voiced with enthusiasm by local basketball fans...
Since signing on at Ole Miss in 1947, Coach Vaught has compiled a won-lost record of 109-29, second only to the 123-19 of Oklahoma's Bud Wilkinson among major college coaches. In 1959 Ole Miss was a strong second to Syracuse in the national rankings.
