BILL SIMS GILBERT MARSHALL JERRY HAGEN Guard Guard Forward Team Captain AII-Western VARSITY BASKETBALL CAGERS FIND THAT - F COACH JIM ZINN ALTHOUGH Chamberlain's 1959-60 basketball record wasn't too impressive, it gave the young squad plenty of ex- perience. Fielding a team which included only six veteran seniors, three juniors, and three sophomores, the Chiefs showed plenty of hussle and fight, losing more tight games which could have gone either way. Of the six seniors, Bill Sims and Dave Marshall were the only starters. Two of the other starters were juniors-guard Tommy Joseph and forward Larry Mitchell. Both of these boys, being on the short side, used their set shots, jump shots, and tip-ins to accumulate their points. The other position was taken by a sophomore who saw plenty of action and should be now prepared for conference competition in the future. A 6' 2 Chief, jerry Hagen, grabbed the rebounds and then showed his ability to handle the ball by putting it in the basket for more CHS points. With these boys in the line-up during the season, the fans who followed the Chiefs through the thick and thin saw plenty of thrilling nip-and-tuck ball games. However, time usually ran out before Lady Luck came along to help out the Chiefs, or it could be said that only the first half score of the game should count. Many a time Chamberlain went to the dressing-room at intermission with a lead, only to return the second half and see it disappear. To sum up the season, it could be said that despite the poor won-lost record C5-l7J, it was a very promising build- up year and that the Chiefs should be in the winners' circle in the future.

Sophomores and juniors were the real strength of the Chiefs' basketball squad. Center Gilbert Marshall and Fot- ward jerry Hagen were two of the sophomores who helped keep the team steady when the pressure was greatest. But it was mainly the hot hands of Senior Bill Sims, captain, who kept the Chiefs going in every game. Bill used his leadership ability to hold the team together and to get the most out of every player. The sophomores and juniors were sometimes erratic, but they showed enough poise and skill to promise Chamberlain basketball partisans winning seasons for the next two years.
