we Sate: oe ial fea EST SS” e 18 This season, the Concordia basketball team had tough going. They have been able to salvage only one win out of their schedule, a 58-48 win over Dana. Playing with a very young squad, having one senior, Ron Hinz a 6° 3” center, the Bulldogs found the power of Midland, Northwestern and Yankton too much in the Tri-State. Jim Juergensen 6’ 442” junior, led the Bulldogs all season scoring an average of 13 points per game, and hauling down 180 rebounds in nineteen games. The addition of Don Reddel, a South Dakota U. transter, gave the Bulldogs backcourt a boost. Don and his brother Garry were responsible for much of the play making. Three freshmen, Fred Kroger, Gordon Bredow, and Roger Pflughaupt played well most of the season and look promising for next year. This year the C.T.C. campus was host to the annual Concordia Invitational Tournament. On March 3 and 4 the preachers and teachers competed for top honors on the basketball court, the Traveling Trophy. - Students and teams headed for Seward from River Forest, Springfield and St. Louis. Friday, the 3rd, there was a joint pep rally held in the gym. There the first C.LT. queen, a Seward coed, was crowned. With the end of the tournament came the end of the Basketball Season of 1961.
