THE CARDINAL A T H L E T I C S THE FIRST TEN 'KENNETH BAIER-Height 5' 10 , Weight 175, Senior. At the beginning of the season, for the third consecutive year, Ken- neth was chosen to lead the basketball five. Such a record in itself re- veals the type of captain he was. Despite his slowness of foot, Sock was always a dependable guard besides being an outstanding ball handler. Cissna Park fans will miss him next year. 'GILBERT BRENNER-Height 5' 6 . Weight 115. Senior. Although Gilbert ranked second in scoring, he was considered an out- standing player on the squad. Possessing an eagle eye for the bas- ket from both far and near, he was able to account for many specta- cular baskets. He was also a very clever ball handler and a good de- fensive man. 'DALE YERGLER-Height 6'. Weight 155. Senior Dale was definitely the scrappiest man on the team and was beyond a doubt the most improved player. As a running guard he was a fighting rebounder on both defense and offense and also accounted for a large share of the points. 'BEN FELLER-Height 5' 10 . Weight 170. Junior. A substitute last year, Ben developed into the team's leading scorer as he accounted for 265 points during the season. A Junior this year, he is expected to be back next season to continue his high scoring. 'DON MORTON-Height 6'. Weight 160. Junior. Another substitute of the previous season, Don turned out to be our regular center. Besides being a very capable scorer, he was one of the main cogs in our defensive machine. He, along with Feller, should form the nucleus of a good '40-'41 team. 'WAYNE NEWLIN-Height 5' 10 . Weight 140. Senior. The other Senior of the group, Wayne won himself a letter. Not parti- cularly possessing the natural gracefulness of a class A athlete, he made up for it with persistence. Starting high school basketball as a Sophomore, he 'stuck with it to the very end. Another season would show him a much improved player. 'ARLYN LOBER-Height 5' 9 . Weight 135. Sophomore. Of the substitutes, Arlyn was generally the first one called. Although young in age, he is quite experienced on the hardwood. A continuation of his good showing of this year should win him a first five berth in the next season. 'GLENN ZBINDEN--Height 6' 1 . Weight 175. Sophomore. A lad of large stature, Cork has very good possibilities, Not having had advantage of grade school basketball experience, he is fast catch- ing on to the elements of the game and another year should mean, much to his basketball ability. 'JACK BROWN-Height 5' 4 . Weight 130. Sophomore. The smallest man of the squad, Jack has plenty of scrap and a good eye for the hoop. A little more height and he will be one to be reck- oned with. 'WENDALL BAUMGARTNER-Heigth 5' 61fQ . Weight 147. Sophomore. Another small man but one who is improving rapidly. He too is devel- oping into a better shot, a fact which should help him greatly.
