With little experience on hand, Coach Bowers started the season with three seniors: Lyle McWilliams, John Malcom and Wilbur Hart- man. The remainder of the squad were under- classmen. These three seniors and Don Gordon, Monte Lindsey, Bill Poorbaugh, Bill Nohren, and Lloyd Raber gave some mighty fine accounts of themselves during the latter part of the season. The second team made up of underclassmen played five ball games all season, winning their share of games and improving all the way. The Frosh-Soph team, playing together for the first time after the regular season ended, par- ticipated in an eight-team invitational tourney at Lexington and came home with the second place trophy. In the inter-class tourney the Sophomores de- feated the Juniors 22 to 19 in the championship game after a torrid battle. Prospects are excep- tionally bright for the future at El Paso.
