LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL Three conference championships in the last four yearsl Blue and Gold lightweight basketball teams under Coach Wykoff have made a splendid record. In 1927 the title was won with six straight victoriesg in 1929 and again in 1930, the lights tied for the championship. This latter success was achieved when the team wonreight out of ten conference games. WIN BIG SIX CI-IAMPIGNSHIP Playing each school twice in the course of the season, Joliet lost only one game each to Elgin and West Aurora. Both of these teams were defeated in the other encounters. Rockford, Freeport, and East Aurora were each beaten twice by the Blue and Gold. The result of the season,s play was that Joliet and West Aurora are co-champions, leading Rockford, Elgin, Freeport, and East Aurora in that order. SUCCESSFUL IN HOLIDAY GAMES Before the conference season began in earnest the lights played seven games with Chicago and suburban high schools. In these games Joliet beat Hinsdale, Chicago Heights, Lindbloom, Harrison, and Schurz. Roosevelt and Crane came out ahead of our lightsg the second team played the entire game against Crane. All of these contests were played during. December and helped round the ponies into good form for the hard Big Six schedule that followed. High spots of the season were the air-tight defense in the East Aurora game that held the opposition to one point in the first halfg the two hard-fought victories over Rock- ford. Twelve players were awarded letters for their part in winning the champion- ship. ! F LA 5ie is .1 I 92
