The pressure was on Don Dick and his Tigers as they opened the season in defense of the con- ference championship, which they won last year. Only one member of last year's first five returned but four others who had been on the varsity two previous years were back. Even though they failed to re- peat as conference champs they made a good account of themselves wherever they played and no one defeated them without putting up a stiff battle. One of the most exciting games this year was the Huntington fracas when the Tigers made a great comeback in the last half only to be edged out in the last few seconds. The season was up and down with the Bengals not winning nor losing more than two games in a row. They finished with a record of 9 and 9 in scheduled play, 1 and 1 in an invitational tourna- ment at Bloomington, and lost the first game of the sectional to Summitville, the eventual champions. Coach Dick awarded letters to Seniors: Fred Aldridge, Joe Golden, Armitte Gosnell, Harold Thompson, and Phil Youngg Juniors: Jay Ringer, Merl Street, John Haron, and Jack Bowersg Sophomore: Jack Tilley.
