Each man had his night. Since the Bengals had so many good players, each was always out there hustling. Any man that didn't give his all was immediately replaced. Recognition should also be given to Coach Belko for his excellent job of rounding the Bengals into one of the best cage teams that has ever performed for the orange and black of ISC. Over enthusiasm at the beginning of the year resulted in a broken ankle for Coach Belkog but with the aid of crutches and a loud-speaker system, he carried on and mould- ed the team into championship form. Such a team was the Idaho State College squad of 1953 . . . hustling, high scoring and coached to perfection. They too will never be forgotten. May they continue in years to follow this championship pattern for the glory of themselves, their coach, and ISC.
