Battle Ground was met next and they were snowed under 52-16 in a rather unin- teresting game. The Jeff high scorers were McCahan with eleven points, Devaney with nine points and Mike Crowe with six points. In a thrilling battle, jeff beat Buck Creek 38-21. Buck Creek started out strong and had jeff on the run for a while. jeff then started to pull away from them and they were in the lead at half and went on to win. Jeff had a very easy time with West Point in the final game. The boys had great luck at the basket, making 44 per cent of their shots. The final score was 54-25. Devaney led the scoring with seventeen points. The Regional Tournament . . . jeff met up with their old friendly UQ rivals, the Lebanon Tigers , in the first game of Art Trester's regional, which was held in that noble city midway between Lafayette, and the state capital. Practically all of said town being at the aforemen- tioned game, including Coach Butch Newman and his faithful chewing gum. Proceedings started with a rush, Lebanon getting off with a 15-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. During the course of this quarter Mike Crowe became the possessor of three personal fouls, much to his disgust. This, however, did not cause him to be careful not to step on the Tigers toes. He got into the spirit of the occasion and charged up and down the Hoor, fmuch to Lebanon's dismayj passing the ball, shoot- ing, and being a general pest. Because of all of this, jeff was able to cut the margin down to 5 points at the half. After the half, jeff started out strong, but Mike had to leave the game at this point. The team was tired out by this last rally, they weakened, and Lebanon rallied for a 44-34 verdict. The old Maestro P fffril

Bogan, Dickinson. jeff Defeated . . . the smooth passing, fine shooting Connersville five in one of the most thrilling games of the season. The lead had changed hands several times in the evening, but with two minutes to go, the score was 24-18 in favor of Connersville and then Jeff started to rain baskets at the goal and they came out on top, 28-24. There Has Been Some . . . misunderstanding! That game with Wfest Side was supposed to be a basketball game. It looked more like football, though. jeff was better at these tactics than XYforst Side, and won easily to the tune of 25-10. Quite a contrast with the Con- nersville game! The Trojans . . . of New Castle bowed to the Bronchos in an excitingly finished game. The first half was all jeff. They had Thoman tied up, in the first half, but he got loose sev- eral times in the second half rally that was cut short by the timer's gun. Thoman scored thirteen points. McCahan scored nine points. At the foul line, jeff made 10 out of 12 shots. Mr. I. C. U. Jinx . . . is at it again! jeff as per usual, led at the end of the first quarter, then they took the nose-dive and ended up at the half at 17-ll Frankfort. Then the jeffs put on the steam and tied it up at 22-22, due to Bogan and McCahan, Then Cook, who scored 12 points, got busy, and Jeff lost 31-24. In The Most Thrilling . . . game of the season, jeff held the Logan-berries to a one-point victory. Wfith six minutes left to play the score was 28-20, Logansport, and in two minutes jeff tied the score. A free throw was awarded to Logansport and it was the winning margin. It was a heart-breaker to lose. The team deserves all of the credit for such a showing. That Was The Worst . . . drubbing of the year, that Greencastle game. Hammond and McAnally could not miss the basket, so the Tiger Cubs took the jeff Bronchos for a 39-19 ride. It was a rare game, in which McCahan was outjumped at center. Mike Crowe was high scorer for jeff with six points. MacAnally was the best center the opposition furnished this season. The boys that played their last regular game are McCahan, Devaney, Rauch and Hohman. If x Top Row , . Rauch, Hohman, Mc- Cahan, Miller, Newton, Korty . . . Bottom Row . . Devaney, A. Crowe, A

I f 4 -Q .i l A ' 4. .n . In The Past Years . . . jeff has been noted for its individual stars in track, but it has sadly lacked balance in the team as a whole. The Bronchos would score heavily in some events, and lose out completely in other ones. Under the guidance of the modest and retiring track coach, C. S. Webb, this longed-for balance has become more noticeable every year, last year's squad being perhaps the best balanced team that the Bronchos have ever had. A greater interest in this sport in jefferson is seen by the increasing number of boys going out for the team each year. Of course, the more boys going out for the team, the greater the chances that the coach has for getting the best balanced squad that is possible to get from the school that year. The First Event . . . is the fastest one of the day . . . the one hundred yard dash. Jeff has always been strong in this event. Two of jeff's former runners of this distance are on the Purdue track team this season 119351. These boys are jack Swezey and David McQueen. McQueen used his speed to advantage on the football field and the basketball court, but Swezey did not go out for any other sport in high school. The first track event was a hundred yard dash in which Swezey was the winner, while McQueen was third. This was the result in almost all of the meets of that year in this event except what McQueen alternated between second and third places. After Swezey graduated, McQueen started winning and a new dash man was dis- covered in the person of Ernie Deeter. Deeter finished second or third all that year in this run. Deeter uses his speed in the backfleld of the football team. He is the fastest man on the squad. Bob finished first in four of the six meets the track team entered in 1952. Herb McNeil is the only boy coming up to keep up the tradition of first- class dashmen. 7
