The recent basketball season could best be described as a period of transition. When the rulemakers, in an effort to make the penalty fit the crime, added the bonus rule they underlined the importance of accurate shooting from the foul line. It was not uncommon to find a team, outscored from the floor, managing enough points at the free throw line to snatch victory from the opposition, As a point of reference, 29W of all the points scored by this year's team were free throws. The second transition was in the Pioneers' coaching staff. At mid- season, Coach john Baldwin left Bradley to take a teaching position in Massachusetts. He left behind him an enviable record in basketball and baseball. Brother Amedy stepped in to fill the breach. The differences in offense became manifest in the very first home game as the Pioneers thrilled their fans with a racing, fire-house brand of basketball. The young team with but one senior on the starting five made up in speed what they gave away to their opponent in height. Brother Amedy brought the Red and Blue down to the semi-finals in the state tournament. And where they had adjusted themselves so capably to new coaching techniques, they were to be haunted by the first transition as they could not cash in on their charity throws, thereby losing to a spirited Laconia five. l 77 ...t Uratney bench at the Sr, johng game. .
