With the St. Norbert game at the Milwau- kee Auditorium, four Carroll cagers wound up a history making career and set a mark which is not likely to be shattered in the near future. These four, Willie Weins, rangy center from Athens, a pair of steady guards, Don Moncher from Milwaukee and Al Hanke from Waukesha, and Don Slusser brilliant floor man and playmaker from Green Bay, have played together for four years. Entering Carroll in 1946 when the eligibility rules had been relaxed be- cause of wartime shortages of manpower, the quartet of strangers turned out for varsity basketball and have been together ever since. Each member has had indi- vidual nights, but the cohesion and team cooperation which they achieved will leave a standard for Pioneer squads oi the future to aim at for a long time. Twenty cagers turned out for basketball at Carroll this fall, but when the pre-season work- outs had ended, the squad was down to twelve men who went to Milwaukee to face Mar- quette in the opening game. ln one of the tightest battles which the Pioneers have ever had with the I-lilltoppers, Carroll was finally beaten by a close 64-65 margin, despite a fine eighteen point effort by Ierry Dwyer, sophomore forward. lourneying to Whitewater, the .Pioneers dropped their second tilt ot the season 60-44, with Don Slusser high for the evening for Carroll with eleven points. In their first appearance of the season at home, the Orange and White lost their third con- secutive game, this time to Lawrence by a 72-57 score. Claud Radtke, star of the Appleton school, dropped in twenty-four points to more than oifset a big sixteen point splurge by Willie Weins. Breaking into the win column a week later, the Pioneers edged out Michigan Tech in a 55-54 thriller, with Weins and Datka sharing scoring honors. Page One Hzmrlrcd Elefvmz

In their next two games, the Orange and White broke even, losing to DePauw 76-46 at home, and beating Cornell College 57-5l, on the lowa's home iloor. Taking off for a holiday week-end, the Orange and White cagers went up to the Lawrence Invitational tournament at Ap- pleton, and were beaten by both Ripon and Oshkosh State Teachers, the Redmen winning 65-45, and the Teachers 62-49. Willie Weins continued to be hot against Ripon, dropping in nineteen points, and Arnie Datka was high in the Oshkosh game with twelve.
