A surprise upset stunned the Tigers when Manual defeated them 52-50. In a previous non-league game the Tigers mauled the Redbirds 78-65. With annihilation of East 74-58, Lincoln took undisputed possession of second place, one game behind Northeast. A succession of victories over Van Horn, Central, West- port and Southeast was marred by defeat from Northeast with a three point margin. Success for the Lincoln Cagers was insured by balanced team play, over-all team morale and spirit com- bined with hard work and a strong desire to prove them- selves equal to the challenge set before them. Up and away-there it goes! Oh Well, . . . jackie. He's too iall.

Stanley Daigle led the balanced Tiger offensive attack and was the team's leading scorer. He was also among the leaders in the league and was selected as a member of the second All- Star Interscholastic league team.
