BMW Carroll College's 1948-49 basketball team consisted of a nucleus of seven lettermen from last year's squad. Under the direction of Coach Don Huddleston the team showed much improvement over the beginning of the season. The lettermen included Arnie Datka, Don Moncher, and Jay Zamjahn of Milwaukee; Don Slusser of Green Bay; Willie Weins of Athens; and Dick Sotherland and Al Hanke of Waukesha. Also included in the team was Bob Vaneska, who got some varsity experience last year. Three newcomers joined the squad, namely, Paul Doedens and Jim Moore of last year's freshman squad and Paul Kablitz, who joined the team in December. The Carroll cagers opened their season in Milwaukee by encountering a taller and more experienced Marquette hve. The Pioneers gave a good account of themselves by keeping a close score in the first half. In the second half, the Hilltoppers began rolling up a score and defeated Carroll 70-37. On December 7, the Pioneers rang up their first victory over a fighting Milton College team. Both teams tallied in the first few minutes of play but Carroll took metinucd on pug: 50 Head cheerleader Bill Poulos and his six as- sociates held up the spirits of Pioneer football and basketball squads when things were g0- ing fine and urged the boys on when things were bad. Leading the student body in Cheers is hard work and takes constant practice. Carroll's cheerleaders did their job well. Page Fiffy-one
