Carroll 62; lake Forest 51 Playing a very good defensive and offensive game, the Carroll hardwood athletes outplayed and outscored the jaybirds from Lake Forest by a score of 62 to 57. Getting off to a flying start, the Pioneers led early in the first quarter 1 1 to 2, only to find themselves clinging to a mere 3 point lead at the halftime. In the second period the Foresters made a determined bid but they could not stop the scoring of Zamjahn, who repeatedly broke through the center for easy lay up shots. The lanky Carroll forward totaled 30 points for himself and was ably assisted by Ryan with 11 and Taylor with 7. Weins, the Pioneers pivot man, played an excellent game; he combined with Noland and Slusser to control the backboards throughout the entire game. Carroll 46; Beloit 67 The Orange and White cagers were soundly trounced by Beloit College. The state line five had too much of everything in the way of basketball power. Led by forward Orr and guard Erickson, the Blue and Gold captured their 12th victory in 13 starts; their only loss came at the hands of Marquette University. The first half started off slowly and Carroll held the lead for the first 10 minutes. After this Beloit held the upper hand throughout the entire game. As the game ended, both teams had their substitutes playing. The final reading of the scoreboard was 67-46, another Beloit victory. Page One Hundred Fifty-six

Carroll 38; luwrence 51 The powerful Lawrence quintet took little pity on the Pioneer cagers as their superior speed, height, and ability spelled defeat for the Carroll five. Coach Heyeris revamped line-up played improved ball, but the shooting chart showed a bad percentage. Lawrence jumped into an early lead and were never threatened, leaving the fioor-at the half with a 25 to 15 advantage. The Carroll five made a valiant attempt to overtake the Vikings at the outset of the second half, but the invaders gradually pulled away to a comfortable lead. Both teams then substituted freely as the game ended 57 to 38. Dick Miller led the visitors with 13 points, While Zamjahn scored the same for Carroll. Carroll 42; Mccalasier 44 The Orange and White cagers lost a thriller to Macalaster by the close score of 44 to 42. It was the closest game of the season, and the victory might well have gone to either team. Superior height and effective re- bounding combined to bring about the pre-Christmas defeat. With four minutes to play Carroll led 42 to 39, but a basket and free throw by the Scots tied the score at 42 to 42 with 50 seconds of playing time left. At this time, Erickson of Macalaster, took over. Primrose, star Scot guard, tried a long shot. The rebound bounced high and big Erick- son tipped the ball in for the deciding two points with only 15 seconds left. The game ended with a desperate long shot by the Pioneers. Carroll 36; M. S.'I'. C. 33 Revenge was sweet in this the sixth game of the Pioneers season, as they tripped the Milwaukee State Teachers squad in a closely contested game. This victory snapped a five-game losing streak by the Pioneers, . and brightened the outlook for the rest of the season. The Carroll five found difficulty in hitting the hoop the lirst half, and as a result they were on the short end of a 15 to 10 score at the half time period. The second half proved to be entirely different. Led by the scoring of Ryan and Slusser, and the floor play of Duckett, the home team slowly dwindled the Peds lead until the two teams were tied at 3 1 all. A basket by Slusser and a free throw apiece by Nolan and Slusser decided the game in favor of the Orange and White by a 36 to 33 score. Page One Hundred Fiftyfve

Carroll 41; Ripon 46 The Pioneers came close to tasting the fruits of victory for the third time, but Ripon had too much Ted Scalissi and eked out a close 46 to 41 win. Scalissi, speedy Ripon guard, played an outstanding floor game besides making 18 points. He repeatedly stole the ball and in general played havoc with the Orange and white offense. Led by Duckett, the Heyer quintet took a one point lead at the half, 25 to 24. In the second half the Carroll men couldn't hnd the hoop, whereas the Redmen were hitting from well out. These long shots gave the Ripon five the margin of victory. Carroll 31; Carleton bl Playing at Carleton College in Minnesota, the Pioneers were badly beaten by a strong Carleton five. Combining exceptional speed with good shooting ability the Carletons were never in serious danger. The strange surroundings and long trip seemed to make the Carroll live a bit nervous while the home team took advantage of their home floor and their enthusiastic following. One high point about this game was the progress that Wee Willie Weins showed in dropping in 8 points and playing a good rebound game. He looks like a future Pioneer Cage star.
