Varsity Easternis overall performance on the basketball court was one.of disappointment in 1961-62, but it did contain some bright moments. No one will forget the last-second Victory over touring Trinity of Illinois. The best game of the year resulted in the 77-76 score. Two Victories over Philadelphia College of Bible, one of our arch foes, were added to the win column. The season was also marked by the appearance here of two of the finer small college fives. Philadelphia Textile was the first, but although the Golden Eagles dogged jumping-jack Herb Magee, they lost their opening game. Eastern Nazarene also impressed maroon and white fans with their precision work in their Victory on the E. B. C. hardwood. Play improved in the latter stages of the year, and March 1-3 marked the E. C. C. C. Tourna- ment held at Kings College in Briarcliff, New York. Dave uHoppyi' Rowlands provided much fan interest with his usual potent scoring and play-making. The six-foot junior had been outstand- ing in two successive seasons for the Eagles. In the final game of the season, iiHoppy scored the points necessary to raise his total number of points scored to over one thousand in his perform- ances with the Eagles. Dave Henderson, a freshman-dribbler, averaged in double figures and showed a calm, deliberate type of play. Wally Swank and Jesse Milby finished their college careers with the E. B. C. squad in 1962. The flashy play of Bob Paynter, an expert jump shot, and the Clutch rebounding of Bob Johnston were factors in Eagle Victories. This past year can be classified as a rebuilding one at Eastern. Coach Tom Byron did an out- standing job in attempting to mold an integrated, functioning unit. A losing record does not look very good on paper but with the hustle and speed exhibited in many games this past season, better things are sure to come in 1962-63.
