Freshman-Sophomore Football Summary The Benton Frosh-Soph. squad opened the 1950 football campaign with a 12-12 stalemate with the Mt. Vernon Hams. After tying the young Rams in the opener, no one could stop them. They defeated their next ten opponents in succession, including the West Frankfort Red Birds in the season's final. The Rangers rolled up a total of 416 points to 119 for their opposition. This was a total of 37.8 points per game to a meager 11 points for their opponents. They also were tied for the conference lead with Mt. Vernon. Not a bad season, huh? 176| Freshmen-Sophomore Football Scores °Mt.

Season’s Summary With four sophomores in the starting line up, the Benton Rangers were defeated by the Christopher Bearcats 42-32, on the local floor, in the season’s opener. After losing their opener, the Rangers couldn’t get out of the losing column, and dropped their next twelve games in succession.

They then upset Salem, defeating the highly favored Wildcats by one point, 46-45. The Rangers then dropped four more games, then in their second encounter with Christopher, they defeated the Bearcats, 58-41. This victory over Christopher was to be the last one of the 1950-51 basketball season. They dropped their last four games, one to Tilden Tech, and the other three to Conference opponents. 180] The Rangers ended up in the South Seven Conference cellar with not a single victory. The season was a very dark one, as far as fans were concerned. The Rangers had a total of 3 wins and 22 losses for an unimpressive .135 average (tournament games included). This year he Rangers lacked the much needed experience. Now they have it, so their opponents in the next two years had better watch out, because they are going to roll TOURNAMENTS West Frankfort Invitational Benton 34 Robinson Benton Invitational 51 Benton 48 Cape Giradeau 41 Benton 51 Sparta 81 Benton 46 Salem Benton 45 Pinckneyville [82J 75 Schedule Christopher ......

[83] Fresh man-Sophomore Basketball Summary The 1950-51 basketball seemed to start out in high gear for the Ranger Freshmen-Sophomore squad. The Rangers defeated Christopher and Eldorado in the season's first two contests, and then went on a long losing streak, which didn’t end until the season was nearly completed. The Rangers won only four games throughout the entire compaign. They defeated Christopher twice, Eldorado, and an upset victory over West Frankfort. The most severe defeat was suffered at the hands of Mt. Vernon Rams, when the Rams scored three times as many points. That score, by the way, was 71-20. An overall picture of the basketball season shows the Rangers had an unimpressive record of 4 wins, and 14 losses.

With such stars as John Bauer, Lloyd Spencer, Howard Neal, and Dick Neal, the Rangers showed that they were no pushover, and usually placed either third or fourth. In the State Meet, Dick Neal and Lloyd Spencer were eliminated in the preliminaries, and Howard Neal became nervous and took a tumble in both the low and high hurdles and didn’t even finish. John Bauer was the most outstanding trackman for the Rangers, inasmuch as he broke the state record by throwing the shot put 56 feet, 5% inches. Bauer also placed second with the discus. Some of the senior lettermen who won’t return are Dave Bauer, Howard Neal, Richard Neal, Everett Lipe, and John Bauer.
