Indiana States 6' 9 forward, Larry Bird, was more popular than Farrah Fawcett-Majors. The lim a Bird Watcher tee-shirts sold better than the new sex symbol's tee-shirts at Osco Drugstore during basketball season. Larry was the nations third best scorer. He led the Sycamores in their best season ever, with a 25-3 record. The team was ranked 16th in the entire nation. This super sophomore attended Indiana University but it was too big, so he transferred to Northwood Insti- tute, but it was tttoo small. But Larry finally found the place that was tijust right, Indiana State. Spirit soared and basketball games were sold out days in advance. Students developed real pride in their university and especially in the basket- ball team. Students. faculty, alumni, and people in the community came to back the Sycamores during football season. is. Kuehli Elementary school was where Larry started his basketball career. He played in the Biddy Basketball League in the fourth grade. In high school, the French Lick guard averaged 16 points a game. After his junior year he grew several inches and his shooting aver- age jumped to 30.6 a game. At ISU Larry averaged 32.8 a game. He was ranked third in scoring and seventh in rebounding. He hit 54 per cent of his field goals, 84 per cent of his free throws and ended the season with a total of 918 points. The pros are after the ttblonde bomber and the scouts constantly attended the games. But Larry made it clear to them that he is at ISU to get an education. He wants to be able to teach physical education after he retires from pro-ball.
