CO-CAPTAIN t I X 'X 1 ll Jinx Cork Jim Combellick-Jim's height and supreme accuracy, made him the mainspring of the Battler quint. He is without a doubt one of the toughest players in the Central Conference, which gave him a natural bid as one of the Co-Captains in the 1946-47 Basketball season. Maynard Westphal-Corky, a southpaw with a lot of height and plenty of speed. His left handed accuracy couldn't be beat as he proved in the past season. Cork was elected as the other Co-Captain for the season. A big cheer goes up as the game gets Maynard, Jim, Dana, and Walt under way. - start their last home game.

BASKETBALL W With one returning regular from last year's conference co-champs, the Battlers opened the sea- son with an inexperienced quint. The season was not as record-making as its precedent but the Battlers won ten games while losing thirteen. They were consolation champs in two tourneys and successfully defended the championship of their invitational tourney defeating a favored Cheyenne Indian team. In the conference tournament at Pierre the Battlers were eliminated in their first game by Mil- ler. This putting thefn in the consolation bracket they defeated Faulkton, and then lost to Ipswich in the Consolation finals. The Battlers drew Ft. Pierre in their opening district tourney game, and after 32 minutes of rugged basketball the Battlers yielded to the Buffaloes who went on to the championship. Gettys- burg went the other way in the tournament bracket to defeat the Pierre Indians and Harrold for the consolation championship. The record made by the 46-47 team was not so impressive, but with 5 returning lettermen, Gettysburg is looking forward to a better court season next year. 36
