Y A Department of Athletics FTER three successful years as Athletic Coach for I the school, Dr. George Miller resigned this year to take up his position of Instructor in Bacteriology and Director of Athletics. Dr. Miller is also Assistant in the Public Clinic. Mr. S. L. Stacey, a sophomore student in the school, was appointed to succeed Dr. Miller as coach. Mr. Stacey has had wide experience in coaching before coming to K. C. O. S. He turned out several state championship teams as coach of a New Mexico high school. During his college athletic career Mr. Stacey was well- known through this section of the country for his football and basketball ability at Warrensburg Teachers College. MR. S. L. STACEY Basketball Coach Though this was his first year as coach at K. C. C. S. Mr. Stacey made a creditable showing. His basketball team won four games and lost live. This is really a good record considering the fact that most of the members of this years team had not played together before. However anything lost due to that fact was more than made up by the fine lighting spirit shown by the boys in all their games. It is the hope of the school that Mr. Staceyls teams will continue to improve each year until K. C. 0. S. again holds the place that it formerly held in basketball circles. Stories of unbeaten teams come to us out of the past and that is what we want again. THE 1933 BASKETBALL SQUAD 103 4 img

t FISHBR CCaptainj Biuscoa MANCHESTER The IQ33 Basketball Season TARTING the season against the Cttumwa Y. M. C. A. the Rams were not quite up to form and suffered a defeat. Tommie Lange and Dick Briscoe showed real promise in this game but in spite of their efforts the game was lost. Coach Stacey gave each man a chance to play in this Hrst game in order to get an idea of what to expect from his squad. In the second game of the season the K. C. O. S. boys went up against Parsons College and came off with the score in their favor. The team showed splendid form, with the playing of Fisher and Meyers at guard positions being outstanding. In the second game of the Parsons series the tables were turned and the Rams took back the defeat that they had just handed the Parsons boys. Tarkio College also proved a Waterloo for the Rams, handing them their third defeat of the season. The defeat was not due to any fault of the team, however, for they played very good hall. The Tarkio boys were just too good. The Tarkio game was forgotten, however, in the thrilling return game with the Ottumwa Y. M. C. A. Not a dull minute during the play. The winner was in doubt until the iinal whistle which left the Rams the victors. Roy Fisher was injured in this game and his playing the remainder of the year sulfered as a result. ..M..ig..ltjj,.....M...,.. T 512211
