The new squad faced many difficulties from the start. Only one letterman, Lewis Davis, returned to practice and the schedule was one of the toughest faced by a Little Wonder team. A1 Cloninger, fast stepping center, was kept out of the games due to an injury received in football playing. However, Childers, Harkey, Russell, and White under the guidance of Coach Baker, proved to be effective on the court.

These eleven men, under the tutoring of the two local boys, defeated eight teams out of ten scheduled games, and lost only one conference game. ‘ Cloninger, Davis, Crayton, Leazer, Fowler, and Dayvault were some of the outstanding men, with Leazer being chosen to the All Conference team.
