Lack of height, sickness, and injuries all played a major part in keeping the won-lost record on the negative side. The boys played fine, hustling ball and gave every team on the schedule a hardbattle. The season's record for the Andoverites showed eight victories and twelve defeats. Seven of these games were lost by from one to four points. In Butler County play Andover finished fifth in the South half, winning three and losing seven.

Trojans lost a close, well-played contest. In the county tournament, Andover advanced to the second round before losing to Potwin. They led in this game until Timmons and Beck were both removed because of fouls. The Trojans made a surprisingly strong show- ing at Mulvane, winning over Belle Plaine, before losing to Mulvane in the semi-finals. The boys played their best game of the year against Mulvane before losing, L7-39. Mulvane won the tournament and are probably state champoins. Lyle Timmons was a consistent offensive threat throughout the season, having a fifteen point average per game. Walter Courtney, Don Beck, Don Fitzgerald and Dale Hobson all showed flashed of offensive brillance at various times during the season. The following boys will receive letters for the season's play: Lyle Timmons, Walter Courtney, Don Beck, Dale Hobson, Don Fitz- gerald, Eugene Moser, Marion Medley, and Bob Pray. Four boys, Timmons, Hobson, Moser and Pray will be lost through graduation. The rest will be back, taller and stronger, hoping for a fine season in 19,49-50. The WBW team had an average season, playing a fourteen game schedule, winning about half of their games. Tommie Laisure, Bob Pray and Eugene Moser led the play for the UBN squad, as well as seeing action on the nAn team. .
