Coach Monical started the season with four Seniors and one Junior.' Later, when Wilkerson injured his ankle, Reichert, a Junior, replaced him.

Teams that the Bobcats faced like, Vandalia, St. Elmo, Altamont, Noble, and several others, had.ex- ceptionally fine records. Coach Monical will have five lettermen back next year along with some very promising Freshmen and Sophomores. Robert Woerner---Senior Bob Woerner, perhaps one of the best defensive men on the team. Bob played guard most of the sea- S0119
