In the last few games the starting lineup was com- posed of Kozusko and Misiak at guard, Malesky and Resnik as forwards, and Pawlikowsky at center, with Yurick and Belecki also seeing plenty of action. The boys only missed tour days of practice during the entire season, and that was due to the big snow. Three of the boys on the starting team are freshmen and with a little more experience they will, in all probability become another threatening Hurricane. RECORD l95I Hurst Opponent 44 ...., .....
