Bart Carlton


Milas Barton Carlton was an standout American college basketball player at Ada Teachers College in Ada, Oklahoma during the early 1930s. He was a two-time All-American in 1930 and 1931 while playing with the Ada Tigers. In 1944, the Helms Athletic Foundation also retroactively named Carlton the Helms Foundation [College Basketball Player of the Year|Helms National Player of the Year] for the 1930–31 season despite his having never been a consensus All-American, giving him the odd distinction as the only national player of the year since consensus voting began in the 1928–29 season who was never a consensus All-American.
After college, Carlton played for the DX-Oilers in the Amateur Athletic Union . He led them to a national championship in 1933 with teammate Chuck Hyatt and helped produce a 26–0 record.
