Basketball , , , Stebmen Wm C1131 Crown South Side's hardwooders marched through an excellent 1949-50 campaign to be crowned undisputed City Champions! They're un- disputed titlists, because no city team was able to conquer Glen Steb- ing's well-coached crew during regular City Series play. Strong quintets like Auburn's Red Devils, the Comets of Kendallville, South Bend's Washmgton, Indianapolis, Shortridge, the Owls of Muncie, and Gary's Tolleston all fell by the wayside after meeting the Kelly- men. After completing regular season matches and winning early-round Sectional meet games, the Archers met up with the always-tournament- inspired Tigers of Central and lost to them by one small point, 35 to 34. Coach Stebing, the assistant mentors, and all the varsity and reserve boys deserve a lot of credit for a fine campaign, a 16 win-7 loss record. The sound of pounding basketballs could be heard in the gymnasium for many hours after the close of school each day in those winter basketball months. Yes, the boys labored hard to learn the tricks of the basketball trade, and they came up with a squad that will long be remembered here at Archerland. . The long one-handed, swishing push shots of tiny senior forward, Merle 'fMel Hettler, who wound up second in the city's individual scoring race, the sensational and very timely scoring spurts of fast moving, tricky Gene Townsg the great under-the-basket fight and drive of Norm RGooch,' Frybackg Jerry Ellenwood's outstanding play and much-needed coolness at crucial times in crucial tilts, and the brilliant floor play and great ball-stealing work of Alex Tsiguloif --all were blended together to make one fine team. Tom Skole, Jack Miller, and the rest of the gang were really important too. We'll, not forget one of them. 23
