Slow in starting While losing their opener to the Rangers, the Bunnies received basketball recognition by downing the Commandos. The third contest was dropped to the Ieeps and the next two were taken. Iohnny Curtiss, great Eagle gridiron star, again displayed his athletic ability by play- ing a fine game of groundball at the guard slot. Hershell Hoss Wells, fleet little Bunny forward, proved a terror on offense. The Bunnies were small but the team was balanced and cage technique was not lacking. CAPTAIN BERNARB BASSINGER ff' If Hillsboro has a style all his own-carried the Bunnies through tough times.

This year at H.l.C., with the absence of the traditional lndians in football and basketball, the college organized an intramural cage program to aid in physical education activities required by the military service. Coach Charles Romine Was responsible for the organization of the program and after his departure Vance Sumner took over the physical education instruction and managed things well. The MacArthur lntramural basketball league was set up with six teams comprising the loop. The Rangers, Thunderbirds, Commandos, and Bugs Bunnies represented the high school. After a month and a half of cage hostilities the Ieeps finished victorious in every single melee to capture undisputed posses- sion of the conference championship. MacABTl-IUR CONFERENCE STANDING W.

The title-winning Ieeps from High School clinched the crown by winning all five of their basketball skirmishes. They opened the season's initial game by defeating a band of scrapping Com- mandos by the score of 31-20. The potent High School quint erased their other league foes one by one in their elimination grind. They completely outclassed the Thunderbirds by a devas- tating count of 50-2. The Bugs Bunnies, their schoolroom mates, bowed to them 39-17. The undefeated crew then blasted the hapless College Warhawks, 37-9, and the game-of-the-year that determined the championship was the IeepRanger clash in which the titleists defeated the rough collegians, 24-12. The Ieeps were paced by Forrest Clary, lanky high-scoring for- ward, who racked up 44 tallies for the season. Bill Tom Autry, Rudy Maldonado, Omar Keeton, and Oliver Littlejohn all com- bined to produce a smooth-working aggregation. CAPTAIN FORREST CLABY Hillsboro the sharp-shooting forward, led his team to a rousing victory. ,,, , , .
