Trojans Nip Defending Champs The Trojans started the season by trouncing May- ville College by a score of 97 to 80. Their winning streak was extended to five games as they conquered Northwestern, Minot, Ellendale, and Dordt before dropping a squeaker to the Westmar Eagles. The Trojans then began conference play by defeating the defending SD-IC champion Northern by a score of 78-73 at Aberdeen. Two strong non-conference foes, Peru College and Yankton College, were the next victims of the hustling Trojans. The Daily Plainsman Tourney held during the Christmas holi- day season saw General Beadle capture second place by again defeating Yankton College in the first round and losing to Sioux Falls College in the cham- pionship game. The Trojans got back on the win- ning trail by trouncing Huron College in their first game of the new year. 138 .5 is R . 4 4 .. ..., J if Eyeing the basket is Beadle ace Myron Moen.

Bearlle Gains Revenge Over Sioux Falls College The new year continued to be good as the Trojans won four more games. Included in the list of teams that fell to General Beadle during this time were South Dakota Tech, Black Hills, Sioux Falls College, and Northern. The win over Sioux Falls College gave the Trojans re- venge for the loss the Braves inflicted on the team during their holiday game. The victory in this game, which was held on the Brave's home court, ended a four-game losing streak in basketball and football to the Sioux Falls College teams. January 31 saw the Trojans suffer their first loss of the year and the third of the season as the DVVU Tigers trounced the Trojans at Mitchell. Fortunately, however, the team was able to bounce back to defeat Dordt and Southern, the latter of which was the Parents' Night Game. 1 l b if UPPER LEFT: A tip-oft clash during the GB-Dordt game proves that basketball can have its rough mo- ments.
