Cagers capture first sectional over Northwestern The 197-71 edition of the Titan cagers achieved another first when they captured the first sec- tional win with a victory over the Northwestern Tigers. This year ' s squad showed many signs of championship form, but the club seemed unable to put together more than two fine periods of basketball in any game. Rick Roe led the team with a 13.6 point average while Hank Free hit 12.1 per contest. The Titans won their first game of the season and then dropped three straight to the tougher teams on the schedule — Peru, Haworth, and Tri-Central. The Titans played fine ball against such teams as Alexandria, Elwood, and Logansport. They dropped a pair of one- point overtime games to Eastern; otherwise, the overall 6-16 season mark would have been that much better. The Titans lost five seniors through graduation. Roe, Rick Keck, Mike Myers, Rod Mason, and Leonard Flaty are gone. Such returning lettermen as Free, Tony Gabriel, Gary Rhew, and Jeff Kennell, along with some boys up from an 18-2 reserve squad give the coach good pros- pects for the 1971-72 season. a After being entangled in a rebound battle with Anderson Highland, Jeff Ken- nell tries to escape, b Rick Roe leaps high to block Haworth ' s Jack Crawford ' s bid for two points.
