After working free, Paul Pender poured in two more points for the Spartan effort.

Cagem' Reboundeal From Upenin Basketball games found Stevenson with erratic per- formances, but the disappointment of losses to weaker teams such as Waterford were far overshadowed by the upset of league-rival Pontiac Northern and double victories over YValled Lake. Unfortunately we remained 4-4 in the conference, but this record was good enough to give Stevenson a third place iinish. While leaning heavily to seniors as starters, a host of promising juniors and a sophomore showed the talent that formed not only the basis for this year's success but for that of future teams as well. The season began on a gloomy note with a loss to Plymouth but was considerably brightened by a string of three victories which included the teamis high out- put of 81 points for the season. A dry spell set in and was not broken until Walled Lake was smashed by a 79 point total. The team continued the season by alternating vic- tories and defeats. One of the main reasons for Stevenson's success was the conditioning demanded by the coaches. With the team in top shape the better players stayed sharp longer and the bench strength was greater.
