Basketball The 19294930 Basketball season started with five letter men in suits, namely, Walter Rohling, Robert Aurand, Irvin McCune, Kermit Redbird, and Bert Phillips. With these ive men as a nucleus, Coach Griff fin built up his Basketball team with the new material that had come in. The new material included Vaughan, Tingley, Dority, Foster, and Rogers. These were upper classmen who had participated in Basketball the year before. The Freshmen included Welch, a four year man from Dunning, Stub Norman, a three year man from Oxford, Wells from Pleasanton, and Gaines from Albion. Then from the sticks of Missouri came Hoot Gibson, who had played Basketball all through high school. He was immediately placed into guard position.

VV'ith these men, Coach Griffin put out a team, and with most of them back next year as letter men, watch the Zebras. i I I I I I I l' I K' E IlIl'l'l'I'l.I'I:III'llIIsl,EFIII'I'IEIIIIII'I'I'I-III-III'I'l-III-I'I'I-IIIIIIIIII-I.I.I I I I I I'I-I.I'I'I.I'I I I I
