The championship game of the Region Five Tourna- ment featured the Badgers vs. the hard fighting Claren- don Bulldogs, who outscored Cisco Jr. College to gain a berth in the finals. The Badgers came out on top of that thriller by a 52-49 score. The top shot pictures four Bad- gers and four Bulldogs awaiting a rebound. The next picture is Ed Lee in for a lay-up shot and two points. Photo three shows Bob Patterson up for a shot as a Clarendon boy tries to block it. In the last picture, Art McKay and Jim Burris await the rebound on Al Hutchin- son ' s shot if it should miss.

Even though Art McKay is the sole re- turning letterman on the links, there are some fine freshman prospects. Southpaw Corbett Bridges is the only tennis player back. At year- book deadline none of the squads had had any action, but good re- sults were expected. i-irr ' -?. fer ' RETURNING TRACK LETTERMEN Bobby Phillips, Bob Hudgins, Kenneth Kohler, and Ray Jackson r -- RETURNING GOLF LETTERMAN Art McKay RETURNING TENNIS LETERMAN Corbett Bridges
