THE 1933 E WARRIOR Tarkio College, the vaunted Har- lem Globe Trotters of New York City, Peru and Wayne, two of the best among members of the Nebras- ka Intercollegiate Athletic Associa- tion, tried in vain to jar the Warriors from their winning hold. Backed by players of individual merit, team work with a superior offensive attack and a consistent zone defense as calculated and pol- ished to a trim by Coach Karl Lawrence, the Warrior crew won the plaudits of crowds and the respect of rivals wherever it appeared. No less an authority than Chuck’’ Taylor of the New York Celtic professionals classed the team as ranking with the best of the nation’s university and college teams. After working with team members in an exhibition, he especially commended them for their proficiency in passing and ball handling. The Warriors scored 528 points for the entire season against 306 for opponents, averaging 35 points per game with the opposition tallying an average of 19. Midland scored 341 points in conference play for the season while the league rivals made 178 points in the ten circuit games. Garnic Davis, center, with 1 1 5 points led conference scorers for the second successive year, while Rickey” Wilson finished in second place for the second time with 96 tallies. Davis’ two years as high scorer, preceded by Wilson in 1931 and Nordstrom in the high scoring role during the three previous years, gives Midland high scoring honors for six consecutive years. Wilson headed team point grabbers for the entire season with 176. Accordingly all-conference posi- tions to Midlanders became almost unanimous at the time of the annual choosing. In two instances. Wilson. Davis and Carlton were given all- conference berths. These three and Kounovsky were on the team chosen by W. Emerson Reck, official conference statistician, with Bronson receiving second team mention. Wil- son. Davis and Carlton were choices of the conference coaches. Kounovsky was placed on the second team and Bronson on the third. Rickey Wilson was chosen by conference coaches as the most valu- able player. Wilson, who audibly led his mates with the team slogan. Keep that ball moving. was selected honorary captain at the end of the season, the award being made on a basis of leadership, playing ability, training, loyalty and schol- arship. The Lawrenccmen have won 19 consecutive conference victories at home and have recorded 28 victories and one defeat in league play during the last two seasons. Of the regu- larly scheduled tilts for the two years, 40 out of 43 were won. while a first round game at Kansas City was lost by a three point margin and a second round contest by a single point. In these two years the Warriors have outscorcd opponents 1.502 to 1.018. Fiftynin

THE 1933 i WARRIOR-u MIDLAND’S MERRY MAGICIANS Laurence Zevitz .... Forward As a newcomer from the sophomore ranks. Larry substituted deception and smoothness for lack of height. Scoring ability is a part of his maple- wood makeup. Dale Davies ..................... Center Dividing his time between making good and shaking the injury-illness jinx. Dale, a freshman, performed commendably at guard and when shifted to center, increased in team value with an exceptional basket eye. Garnet Davis....................Center Garnic led conference scorers for the second successive season besides establishing himself in the role of rebound master. The team's fast breaks usually evolved from him. He gained all-conference choice for the third time. Robert Enebak................Guard Although he did not return until the second semester. Bob plunged into the championship swim and gave reliable service at a barricade position. Glenn Lundstrom ... Forward Ole” came late to compete because of a conflict in his academic schedule, but once under way he served with speed in a number of games. This was his third year as a letterman. JOE Kounovsky...............Forward Li'l Joe. called the conference find last year, grew some in stature and greatly in ability. He again capably performed in the powerful front line and excelled in that extra bit of de- fensive work. Richard Wilson ...............Forward Rickey.” elected honorary captain, was also named the most valuable player by conference coaches for the second time in three years. Leader- ship and brilliant floor play were among his attributes. Irvin Schwartz ...............Forward Marchie finished his fourth year as a letterman of incrcasingi ability. His alertness was his strongest trait in valuable service as a utility man. his fire being especially effective in drill. Henry Bronson....................Guard Hank relied upon aggressiveness, quick thinking and rebound work in becoming! the league's most improved player. His cvcr-consistent play and lightning offensive drive made him invaluable in filling the place vacated by Loyd Coe. Norman Carlton...................Guard C. G.. all-conference in all three of his competitive years, ranked as keystone man in the Midland defense and again was outstanding in decep- tive dribbling and passing. Sixiy-ont
