And in the North Central conference play, the Trudgers struck the happy medium by ending with a six and six count. The all-sophomore squad displayed their strength by ending the half-way mark with seven victories out of nine starts. Then with the beginning of the second half, Coach Stuckey rearranged his A team and elevated Bob Hedrick, Bob Stegner, and Jim Dailey to the varsity team. With the absence of these starters. Coach Makowsky drilled his remaining eight boys and discovered some real competitors. In the remaining nine encounters, the Green quintet was credited with four. The future Trojans are pictured below. Third row: Left to right — Coach Makowsky, Manager Scott. Second row: Crane. Hodgin, Cassady, Young. First row: Grose, Stegner, Meek, Cline, Hawkins.
