South Side, playing a steady and well coordinated brand of ball all season, established the best seasonal record for a major Indiana high school team, winning 17 of their 20 games. The Archers lost to Elwood in their fifteenth game for their first defeat, 26-28. Later, South Side lost to their city rival, North Side, 34-383 and then, in the Archers' last game of the season, they lost to a very slow-moving Jeffersonville team, 13-16. Scores for the regular season basketball games are: South Side 34, Kendallville 253 South Side 34, Bluff- ton 243 South Side 24, Vincennes 203 South Side 39, Crawfordsville 233 South Side 39, Burris-Muncie 263 South Side 36, Horace Mann-Gary 223 South Side 34, Central Catholic 323 South Side 33, North Side 303 South Side 34, Froebel 323 South Side 47, Central 373 South Side 41, Auburn 253 South Side 50, Hartford City 193 South Side 36, Connersville 323 South Side 26, Elwood 283 South Side 59, Huntington 23, South Side 34, North Side 383 South Side 44, Central 333 South Side 30, Kokomo 233 South Side 44, New Albany 223 South Side 13, Jeffersonville 16. The regular starting five who sparked the Archers to the top rung among the state fives were Ralph Ham- ilton, Don Hire, Bob Hines, Blackie Braden, and Keith Spiker. Boys who saw a great deal of action through- out the season as reserves were Dick Doermer, LeRoy Cook, Chick Shimer, Gus Feistkorn, and Bryce Augs- burger. In state tournament play South Side had an easy time up to the New Castle game. Then in the New Castle game. South Side at the first half was behind by eight points. The lights went out and the teams rested for over a half hour. This rest was all South Side needed3 and they edged the Trojans by two points, 34-32. Two weeks passed and South Side then lost that eventful game to the big Mitchell squad by 23-20. However, new boys are coming up to the varsity who should be able to form another top team in the state. Some of these boys are veterans Bob Hines, Chick Shi- mer, Bryce Augsburger, and Gus Feistkorn, and Bill Knoll, Doyle Shirk, Tom Brower, Bill Siebold, Gene McClain, Eugene Reichert, Ralph Vetter, Dallas Zuber, and Bill Miller.
