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.

Coeds Concordia Coeds, the CTC girls’ basket- ball team, have had a 7-7 season thus far, with one game yet to play. The final game of the season will be played against as Dana. “nt The Coeds are members of the Mid-West AAU Conference, and as their record shows, they have been able to hold their own throughout the season. This was the first year in this conference for CTC. Miss Degner, the Coeds’ new coach, is in her first year of teaching after graduation from CTC last year. While attending Con- cordia Miss Degner was a valuable mem- ber of the Coed team she now coaches. There are four Coeds that won't be back next year, leaving some places to be filled. Having a year of experience, Miss Degner as well as the remaining girls will give the ‘32 team the experience needed to make a winning team. This year’s baseball team will be meeting many teams for the first time as it is CTC’s first year in the Nebraska College Confer- ence. Although it is just the beginning of the sea- son, prospects appear fav- orable. The coach has high hopes of producing a conference championship team. Practice has begun and there appears to be enough experienced power to start the season off right. Ke a th iia te ee
