Small in size. but big in fight and determination was an excellent description of the 1940-41 Chargers, who sur- prised the most optimistic followers as they scored ten xictories against twelve defeats. With Bob Lindquist as the only veteran. Coach Zeigler was faced with the difficult job of finding capable players to fill the other positions. Roger Gordon, Bob Sharp, and Bill Davidson developed into excellent guards as the season progressed and turned in many outstanding performances. Howard Sevedge, Keith Perrin, and Bob Keene were the outstanding forwards and carried the majority of the scor- ing burden. Bob Lindquist held down the pivot post in his usual effective manner. C, B. Stewart. Marshall Dav- idson. and Randall Willoughby were the reliable pinch- hitters . The Chargers opened their state tournament bid by defeating Corydon, Garden Grove, and Humeston on the local floo1'. Advancing to the district tournament at Cres- ton, the Chargers were eliminated by a rangy Corning five that boasted one of the best records in the Southwest. dis- trict.
