BattIers completed the 1951-52 basketball season with a record of 11 wins a- gainst 11 losses. When one considers the fact that six of these losses were two of the top rated class B teams in the state, Agar and Onida, it can well be considered a successful campaign. The Battlers showed steady improvement throughout the season, reaching their peak during District Tournament play. They upset highly favored Onida in a thriller, which saw the Bat- tlers come from behind to win in the closing seconds of the game. They then gave Agar, number one rated team in the AP Poll, a real battle in the finals of the tourney, before going down on a 63-60 score. Six seniors will be lost from the squad through graduation this Spring. They are Dwane Jensen, Ed Schlachter, Dick Gross, I.aVerne Meeks, Mert Thommen, and Dick Tays. Dwane ,Iensen and Ed Schlachter were named captains of the 1951-52 Battlers
