This is evidenced by the fact that annually three leagues are formed in this sport- Interclass, Soph-Frosh, and Midget. This activity alone boasts participation on the part of 100 students. The dates for basketball were from the first of November till lanuary 13. During this time students took active part also in gym hockey, volleyball, and 16 inch indoor baseball. In basketball the Trojans also took high honors, but with not as clean a record as in football. Under the fighting leadership of Coach and Captain Armin Shag Hieber the Trojan quintet came out of their ten-game season undefeated, but With a tie game to their discredit. The season for the Trojans was smooth-running and rosy until the closing game, when the Juniors, who were fighting for a second tie with the I college- men and Sophomores, refused to leave the floor without making the ll college- men fight for a clean sweep of the league. In this game, which began with a sudden Iunior scoring spurt, the Trojans were baffled by the Iuniors' play and Were fortunate enough to even the count at the end of the regular play- ing time. At the end of the third extra period the count was still even, and the game Went on record as a tie. l561

Because the cost of outfitting players for rugby football is too high for the individual, it was decided to substitute tag football, which does not require complete uni- forms and as many men. In this second season of tag football the class of '39 Walked away with high honors for the first time in their six years at Concordia. The II college team, under the capable leadership of Coach and Captain Rod Biese, experienced a perfect season-I4 victories and no defeats. The seasonal slate looked even cleaner when the II collegemen left the field after the closing game of the year, boasting that not one point had been scored against them by the opponent teams. Not to be overlooked is the fact that in the I4 victories of the season the II college Trojans totaled 384 points for an average of 27 tallies per game. The highest score of a single game was reached in one of the tilts against the Sophomores-72-0. Four Trojan players were voted positions on the All-Stars: Captain Rod Riese, SandoW I-Iappel, Shag Hieber, and Baggy Hagebusch. I55l

The highly favored Trojans of II college lost a close decision to the Seniors in the championship race. Gym hockey is the sport introduced for those who prefer this activity to basketball and also for those who are unable to play on the class bucketball team. The season, which ran the same length as the cage tourney, was filled With many a spirited battle. The Seniors showed their supremacy at the very outset of the year by defeat- ing the Trojans, who were expected to cop high honors. The only teams which were able to tie the victors were the teams representing the college division. In a return tilt the Trojans, after leading throughout the majority of the game, were unable to stave off the Senior attack and had to be satis- fied With a 2-2 tie score. Near the close of the season it looked almost certain that the I collegemen would upset the champions in a return game. With less than two minutes to play the I college Panthers held a 1-0 advan- tage: but a goal shot by Robert Rock saved the day for the Seniors, and tied -the score at one all. The Seniors' success was due largely to Coach and Captain Wallie Leininger's spirited play and hard fight. l57l
