Feb 16, 1958 Sports Spasm

We wanted to pay tribute to that famous Northwest Sports Spasms writer, E. M. Barker, who wrote for the Alva Review-Courier in the "Old Days" of Northwest Oklahoma.

Remember when Larry Colson's 20 points allowed the Northwestern Rangers to defeat the Northeastern Redman at Tahlequah, on a Friday, back in 1958, with a score of 60-57?

E. M. Barker stated in his '58 article, "There isn't a team in the conference that has been able to run over the Rangers with an appreciable margin in the last half of the conference race. Although they are out of the picture as far as winning the crown is concerned they have demonstrated time and again they can play nip and tuck ball with any team in the conference. They have come a long ways defensively and Colson's shooting from the outside has certainly been embarrassing to team strying to run tight zone defenes against the Rangers."

This 1958 article is for those fishermen, Ranger sports enthusiasts out there. Enjoy! -- NW Okie
