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.

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
