L-R: Jack Wendt, Frank Walters, Captain Charlie Stanski, Bob Simanton, Tom Willson, John Sentz, Coach Lloyd Grow, Bill Bos, Lee Van Haaften, Bill Sayers, Dick Cain, Don Culp and Jack Davis. Kalamazoo College's basketball team won the MIAA cage title this year for the first time since 1939, and completed one of Kazoo's most successful basketball campaigns by playing in the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball tournament at Kansas City, Mo., in March. Coach Lloyd lDobl Grow's Hornets won the MIAA title with an 8-2 record, won thirteen of twenty games during the season, and in the NAIB tourney lost to Baldwin-Wallace of Ohio, 78-84. Nine new records were set by the cagers, highest-scoring team in Hornet bas- ketball history. Frank lBuckyl Walters scored 305 points for a new single-season total, and increased his four-year total to another high mark of 816. His 89 free throws in one season also set a new high. Bill Bos scored 286 points to rank second in one year's total, and his 116 field goals set a new all time-high for one season. As a team, the cagers scored 1252 points, averaging 59.6, and they made 473 field goals and 306 free throws, all new marks. The 87 points and 34 field goals against Olivet are both new single-game standards. Baldwin-Wallace's 84 points were the most ever scored against a Hornet team, and the combined 162 point total in that game also set a new high mark. Best home games were 60-43 over Wooster, a iinx-breaking 65-53 triumph over Albion, and the 87-54 scoring-spree over Olivet. On the road, the 55-50 victory at Alma that clinched the MIAA title stood out. Five graduating seniors this year are Stanski, Walters, Bos, Bill Sayers and Don Culp. All except Bos have been on Hornet cage teams since 1946. Sophomore Tom Willson placed sixth in MIAA scoring with 111 points, and his 28 points against Hillsdale were a conference and team season high markl 111
