Although without the services of big Ed Meichtry in the game with Belleville, the Cardinals came through with another victory, depending more upon their bench strength.

In the cracker box gym at Brooklyn, seniors Don Olson and Gary Ringen collected 18 and 17 points, respectively and led Brodhead to another victory, One of the big factors in the game was the excellent work of Ringen and Meichtry of the boards along with more fine ball handling by Ron Schwartzlow and Gary Saunders. The Brodhead High School Cardinals were forced into a four-way tie for first place here Tuesday night as a fired-up New Glarus team defeated them 55-49. Brodhead won their last four games rather easily as they snapped out of the slump. This tied them with New Glarus for first place. Brodhead made a fine showing in the Monticello Sub-district tournament, topping Juda 35-58 and losing to New Glarus 50-54 in an overtime. We are proud of our team's fine showing all during the season.
