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.

The trip to play the western members of the SDIC proved to be a damaging blow to the Trojan's title hopes. Although they easily conquered South Dakota Tech, a loss to Black Hills shoved the Trojans into second place, a full game behind the D-WU Tigers. The next game with Wes- leyan was an essential win if the Trojans were to entertain any title hopes. Playing before a standing-room-only crowd, the team won revenge over the visiting Tigers. A win on the road against Southern and a loss to non-conference foe Northwestern set up the final match against Huron College. A victory over the Scalpers assured the Trojans of a share of the SDIC title-the first in the history of the school.
