Ed Martin gains support from an unidentified Leavenworth player in his mad dash for the elusive sphere as teammate Boh Preston looks on from behind. Lion Schedule Filled with Snares LMHS started off the 52-’53 rage season with a loss to Winfield. 35 51. Wichita North then «lumped the Lions 57 50. after which the Lions returned to Lawrence and lost another one to Topeka 43-46. In their first win of the season Lawrence tripped Garden City with a tally of 411 42. The hapless Lions then lost two more in a row to Manhattan and Leavenworth, 44-47 and 51-55 respectively. Atchison then fell before a furi- ous onslaught here at LMHS by deficit of 41 62, with Lawrence ahead all the way. Shawnee-Mission promptly deflated the Lion’s ho| es of a high place in the league by virtue of a 54 44 drubbing. Lawrence then lopped Pittsburg by one thin point, 49 48. then lost to Ottawa the next week 59 64. Nobody ex- pected Lawrence's next move. The Lions pulled the surprise of the season with a 38-32 victory over the highly touted Ar- gentine Mustangs, on the Pony court. Then Lawrence did what they had not done before in their season, and did not re| eat. They won the second game in a row. Leavenworth the victim this time, being on the short end of a 48-44 count. Lawrence dropped the last six game's of the season, opponents being At- chison, 45 59: Wyandotte, 48-67: Shawnee-Mission, 62-68: Ottawa. 54 59: Argentine. 47-55; and Topeka, 35-64. In the Highland Park tournament Lawrence whomped Washburn Rural 70-32. lost to Highland 45-55. and dumped Atchison 40- 36. In the Regionals the Lions fell before Argentine 42-53 and then took Washington 63 44. Considering the competition it hasn't been a bad season at all. Directly abate: Frank Black an«l Charlie McCue pul the big squeeze on two Topeka players. Ed Martin is out front deliberat- ing on the possibility of making it a three way squash. Far left: Bob Preston effectively blocks un attempted shot by a Garden City player. Left: Eddie Martin goes sky-high for a shot against the Ottawa Cy- clones. Ottawa's only two league wins of the season came against the hapless l.ions. 26 •
