•iOSM Tom Sands Jerry Hastinj s Jim Myers Next on the schedule were the powerful Marion Giants. Marion took an early lead, hut late in the third period the determined Norse stole it and led bv four points until the final minutes, when the Giants lived up to their name and marched their way to a victory. This was imquestionably the best Viking game in seasonal play; it was gen- erallv believed that a victorv here woiild have put the Norsemen on the road to many more wins. Here the Vikes ran up against a nine game jin.x which lasted until the end of the regular season. Thev were put down by Elwood, Decatur, Fort Wayne Central, Tipton, Plym- outh, Logansport, Auburn, and Rochester. It was during this time, however, that Coach Wilhelm was building his great sectional team. An under-rated Viking squad entered the sectional as the under- dog. But soon the Norse made the Huntington Countv teams sit up and take notice. They sailed through Clear Creek in their first game and reversed the previous years defeat bv whipping the Bulldogs. After downing a tall Union team, the determined Vikings were not to be denied tlie crown. Thev doubled the score against Jefferson and finally outran an exhausted Warren team. In regional jilay the Vikes failed to blast the lid from the basket and bowed to a red-hot Marion team. The sectional quintet consist- ed of Scott Hosier, Dick Chalfant, Larry Handwork, and Dick and Bill Vlitchell. Other senior lettermen who contributed to the success of the Sea Rovers were Jim Mvers, Charles Johnson, and Jack Weller. Back next year will be Jim Weber, Tom Sands, and Jerry Hastings.
