Handicapped by the lack of size and experience, the hustling Hoppers frequently fell a few points short of vic- tory. Throughout the dismal season, fortunately, team morale remained higher than that of the fans, and the AC cagers continued to give their top effort. Only three lettermen returned from the previous year's squad. These three-Tommy Skipworth, Joe Barrett, and Larry Kirk-started every game and were the top scorers. Barrett, though only a sophomore, was elected team captain in recogni- tion of his leadership ability and team spirit. Sophomores Rick Redington, Tony Toro and Tim Calvert moved up from last year's Junior Varsity. Transfers Guy Ma1'tin, Gary Looney and Clyde Cotton added depth to the team. Rounding out the squad were freshmen Greg Schmitz and Bob Young. Fans look on as Toro makes another basket for AC, Barrett moves in to cover as two Midwestern guards look on.
