The college Rangers, considered the strongest of the college quartets, played outstanding ball despite the loss of two key players before the season had elapsed. The rugged college cagers won three straight conference tilts before the Commandos sprang a stunning upset on the Rangers. They had eliminated the Bugs Bunnies, Warhawks, and Thunderbirds, but fell to the spirited Commando five. Although it had no conference bear- ing, a return engagement of the two teams brought an over- whelming triumph for the Rangers. Once beaten, the strong collegians met defeat at the hands of the Champions in the season's finale. The Ranger crew was known as the five iron- men at the close of the season after two stellar ballhawks, Iessie Carl Gilley and Leon Breeding were lost to the Army.
