Built around Captain Willens, Winnie Cohen, Whitie Kohn, Slingey Kanter, Mac Lebedinsky, and Marty Bruno, the heavies provided Medill history. Losing to Har- rison, Austin, Crane, and Marshall, they came back to trounce Harrison, Austin, Marshall, McKinley Q21 and winning a protest from Harrison, thus having six games to their credit. It was now necessary to beat Crane to enter semi-finals. Leading throughout the entire game, the Medill hopes were dashed to the ground by a basket by Gaber and a sudden rally by Crane. So we ended a successful season and ended in third place, one game behind Marshall. Captain Lester Willens. Lesty was the mainstay of the team, was a dead shot, and a man much feared in this section. Mac Lebedinsky. Mac had them all buffaloed this year and went thru a successful season. ' Vincent Marte. Marte was a fast man and he put those baskets in when they counted most. Back next year.

TI-I?Ef ME DILLITE 97 LIGHTS . Playing a steady game enabled our fighting bulldogs to enter semi- finals. Composed of our last year's veterans built around Capt. Klein, the team hit asteady pace and kept it. The boys played and played well. Starting the season, we tied Harrison and then defeated Austin, Mc- Kinley, and Crane in rapid succession before we went down in defeat to Marshall and Harrison. But not discouraged, our boys came back to defeat Austin, McKinley, Crane, and Marshall in succession to enter the semi-finals. For the first time in four years a Medill team had entered the semi-finals and for the first time in eight years a Medill team had dragged the colors of Crane in the dust. Although we lost Captain Kleine through mid-year graduation, his place was taken by Captain Norman Bernstein who filled it very creditably. Captain Bernard Klein, Bernie, was the fastest man in the league. The slogan of the other teams usually was, watch the red head. He graduated in mid-year. Captain Norman Bernstein, Normy, was the whiz of Medill. He was an almost unanimous choice for an all-city berth. He was the trick- iest man in the city. Is back next year. Irwin Horvitz, Izzy, could be depended on for points when they were needed most. High point man and unanimous choice for West Section Forward ,was Louis Lebedinsky. Louie was Izzy's side kick, and the pairymadeta.combination that was hard to stop. Lou had a dead eye and a .pair of twinkling feet.
