From early morning until dark-and often after dark under the light towers-all the courts were busy with future Bill Bradleys. Under the leadership of Gene Iba Ca famous name in basketballj a high school coach in St. Louis, and with at least four ex-collegiate stars as- sisting Gene, our program was heavy on instruction as well as competitive play. Agility, dribbling drills, passing and shooting drills, play technique, squad drills and finally league games brought our boys to a high level of play. Two evenings a week were de- voted to clinics for campers who needed extra coaching in any facet of the game. The results of all this effort were seen in the calibre of league play and inter-camp games. FALCONS . . . CMissouri Valley Conferencej This year's intra-camp season was exciting for the FALCONS. It was a tight race: Four teams found themselves tied at seasonls end, with a 3-2 overall record. The St. Louis Billikins, led by high-scoring JEFF DAVIDSON and quick dribbling BILLY WEISS finally pulled out the championship in a playoff with the Wichita Wheat Shockers. Exam- ples of other outstanding performances were JON BLANK's all around play and BRUCE GOLDMAN's clutch shooting. Some other fine competitors were LARRY SORRELL, JON GOLDWATER, LORNE GODNICK, CLIFF STERLING, PHIL KASS, NOEL HOGANS, PHIL LANDAU and BRIAN BLOOM. CARDINALS . . .

Their inter-camp team, which finished undefeated and with the best record in camp this year, was led by such stars as: DANNY FISHBEIN, LOREN KLEINMAN, JAY KRAMER, JON SCHOTTLAND, STEVE SABLOSKY, SCOTT WEBER and MIKE ROSEN. The intra-camp race was a thriller which resulted in a playoff between the Kentucky Wildcats and the St. Joe Hawks, each with a 5-1 record. St. Joe beat the Wildcats in the last game of the season by one point scored on a DANNY FISHBEIN steal and layup, to get into the playoffs. However, when they met for the championship, Kentucky emerged
