COMMENTS BY CANANT By TALMADGE CANANT Daily Sun Sports Editor Class basketball teams of this sector began their annual appearance at the Navarro Junior College tournament this week. For the next six nights the basketballs will bounce furiously as both boys and girls teams scrap toward the ultimate titles in the event. This tourney is the first one of the season for all clubs, and this will give an early-season line on what you can expect in the district race later on.

Also, it gives some of the coaches an idea of what their boys can do under tournament pressure. Navarro Junior College, co- chumpton of-the Texas Conference football race with Henderson County Junior College, placed three griddcrs on the nil-conference selection picked by the TC coaches In Dallas last Friday. Henderson County placed four on the team, Bllnn placed two and Ranger three, there being a tie at one spot. Cisco didn't place one on the team, but for this corner's money the Wrangler's Jack Smith deserved a spot in the backfield. He showed up an one, of the best backs Nuvarro has met this season.
