Lenkins goes high into the air for the re- ound as other players close in. In their first year with Coach Willie Mickle at the helm, the Rams suffered reatly from lack of experi- ence. Wigs only one member of last year's starting team returning, the emphasis was shifted to rebuilding. Even so, the varsity cagers came on strong to post a 7-15 record.
