As one looks back on the past season, he sees, standing head and shoulders above the other contests, the two victories over Concordia and the single over powerful Lakeview. The Wildcats initiated the new season by out-pointing the aforementioned Lakeview quintet and extending Luther's streak to two straight in the annual contest. They combined their winning ways by thoroughly drubbing Vlfheaton, but dropped a close decision to Francis Parker in an overtime period. The Heavies raised their coach's morale with victories over Elgin Academy and the Luther Alumni. but were forced, after traveling all the way to Milwaukee. to accept defeat from a great five from Lutheran High up there in Wisconsin in the closing days of the year. The New Year was opened successfully with a hard-fought victory over Harvard, 50-35. and continued in a see-saw with a defeat by North Shore and the first win over Concordia. It was the first Concordia game a non-league affair that was climaxed by 'General Eggert s Break away shot to win a thriller 29-28.

Although the starting line-up was usually composed of sophomores, every freshman played in at least five games, in that way gaining valuable experience for next year.

An entirely unexpected loss to North Shore. however, started the team on the downgrade. and two games with two tough teams, Latin and Concordia. on two succeeding days continued the decline. Although holding a good non-league record, those three losses, all league affairs. were enough to wind Luther up in fifth place one game behind the four teams tied for first. With a heavy bombardment of extra-base hits. the Cats opened the new season by romping over University High after thoroughly annihilating Harvard. And things looked well for the Wood St. Warriors until the very last inning of their game with undefeated North Shore.
