The second team has an impressive 12 win, 7 loss recdrd for the 1949-50 basketball season. Dick Thoreson, freshman, is the leading scorer. These sophomores saw most of the action under the guiding hand of Leon Uknes: Billy Klesath, Tom Naber, Dick Osgerby, Corky Omer and Jim Van Voorhis. All of them show fine potentiali- ties and will be a big help to the first squad next year.
