1928 The SEQUOIA 1928 Qlharnpinnzi nf 1927 This team was probably the best quintet that Antioch has produced in recent years. Certainly it was the most successful, winning 19 games and losing S. They were champions of the Northwest Conference and winners of the annual Conference Tourney. After the regular season was over and they had broken training an invitation was received from Wesleyan University to attend their Interscholastic Tournament. It was accepted and a week later the team went to Bloomington. Their first game was with University High of Normal-this team had a record of thirty victories. Our boys ran over them, 22-14. They lost the next game to Tremont because they could not fathom the slow breakf' Four of this team graduated. Bob', Wilson, the captain is the only one of the four not going to college at this time. Phil,' Simpson, left guard, is attending -the U. of I. It was his steady game at back guard combined with Wilson's team work that stopped many an opponent's attack. Bill Sehwenk, center, was high scorer and the most consistent player. He also is attending the U. of I. Les Nixon, diminutive for- ward, was handicapped at times by his size, but it seldom interfered with his playing. Nickls specialty was making a big opponent look silly. He is attending Illinois Wesleyan. Spicer was the only one left to this year's team of which he was the backbone. Thou shalt endure forever. Page Twenty-seven
