BASKETBALL BASKETBALL F or the second season under Coach Lloyd CDobJ Grow, the Hornet Baske- teers undertook a heavy cage schedule. The Hornets had twenty games scheduled for 1947'48, and they lost eight of that number. On February 6, they met and defeated Wabash. The following Saturday, Coach Grow took his team to Fort Wayne, Indiana, to meet a highly touted Valparaiso quintet. His squad undoubtedly played one of the best games of the season in beating Valparaiso 49 to 46. This year's squad won six and lost four MIAA Conference contests to place fourth after Albion, Alma, and Hope. Frank Walters, Robert App, and Robert Simanton are the only players who took part in all twenty games. Edward Poth very nicely filled in at center for Coach Grow. Poth's ability to get rebounds decided more than one game in favor of Kalamazoo. And Frank Buckey Walters' 187 points for a 9.35 average was also an advantage. Buckey led every category of statistics. He made 64 field goals, and 59 free throws out of 92 chances for a .641 per- centage. Robert App and lack Marlette will be the only seniors lost from Grow's team. The 1947-1948 Kalamazoo College Basketball Team 99
