THE TROJANS ' TRAIL At the beginning of fhe basketball season, Mac Parker had an injury so Bob Keesling was the only returning regular. After losing the first five games — Conners- ville, Greensburg, Anderson, Tech, and Burris — the men of Troy won from a highly favored Richmond team. After a loss to Muncie, they showed a great offense to win from Rushville 53-24. With a revamped line-up, the Trojans showed they were to be feared. They lost to Columbus and Anderson before winning from Logansport in the Big 4 tournament on New Year ' s Day. Lafayette, 3rd in state, beat the Trojans by a margin of only 5 points, 37-32, before they won from Kokomo and Frankfort. After a revenge defeat by Richmond, they won from Marion and Logansport. In a hard- fought game Muncie beat the Trudgers 37-35. They were then rated as the most improved ball club in the state. The Trojans were out for revenge against Anderson, who had won two previous encounters, and beat them 43-26. The Trojans reached their peak by giving Lebanon their worst defeat of the season 46-29. The Greenmen won 6 games and lost 6 in the North Central conference. This put the Trudgers in 5th place in the conference. When the tip-off for the first game of the sectional came, the Trudgers had three regulars out and lost a very hard-fought game to Mooreland 33-32. They scored a total of 602 points for an average of 34 points. The Trudgers ' foes score 580 for an average of 32 points. The three seniors — Yeager, Parker, and Keesling — will be missed but the Trojan squad has 7 returning lettermen next year including 5 sophomores.
