Dick Bartels, a sophomore guard, was a hard driving player and was top scorer on the team with 203 points. Frank Rixen, a sophomore forward, was a strong rebounder and the second highest scorer with 147 points. Don Utroska, another sophomore forward, was a scrappy player who was a good shot and scored 132 points. Rodney Lanaghan, a freshman guard, was a good play maker, had lots of spirit, and scored 106 points, in spite of his lack of height. Gene Goettsch, a sophomore center, who alternated in most of the games with Ken Meyer, scored 102 points. Kenny Meyer, the freshman center, was a good Fifty CARSTENSEN TRANSFER E-35 STORAGE - omore Basketball rebounder and scored 56 points.
