Many of them were very close until they broke wide open in the final periods Bob Moose Lyon and Ed Tank Zagol were honored with a position on the All-Conference squads for their outstanding play. Bob Barus, Norm Hibner, Howie McLees, Harvey Ogren, and Joe Schumacher also played well enough to receive mention in the balloting. This year's squad was comparatively small, numerically. In many games extra uniforms hung in the equipment room for lack of use However, since quality and not quantity is required for victory, our team compiled a record of which they were duly proud.
