The Basketball Season The Culver Indians started out the I957- 58 basketball season with a new coach, Robert Gilbert of Indiana State Teachers College, new uniforms, and new hopes and aspirations. In the opening game Culver met LaPaz at Plymouth, and although weakened by the loss of three men with the flu bug, the Indians gave warning that they were going to be rough to handle. The absence of re- serves cost the Indians the contest, 57 to 5I. Gard and Triplet were high point men for Culver with I9 and I6 points respec- tively. The Culverites journeyed to Walkerton looking for their first win and were reward- ed with a tasty 59 to 56 victory. Triplet paced the Culver attack with 26 points and Washburn had I4. In the first home contest of the season North Manchester furnished the opposition and plenty of it, but the Indians staged a brilliant rally to win, ol to 44. Culver then went to Tyner, but the Redmen were too much for their Indian brethren, Culver bow- ing 55 to 40. Washburn was tops with I5, followed by Triplet and Gard with IO apiece. The North Judson Bluejays invaded the Indiana lair and for half of the game the teams were on a par, but the pace was too torrid for the Indians, Judson winning going away, 7I to 49 .Triplet was again high with I6 counters, while McCoige had II.

McCoige and Washburn led CuIver's scoring with eight points each. Although Knox was rated as the favorite, the Indians declared they were tired of being on the short end of the score, so went all-out to win over the Starke County Redskins, 6I to 49. The Indians started out fast and were never in trouble throughout the evening. Triplet led the way with 20 COACH ROBERT Cl LBERT 72
