A one point loss started the team off badly and the squad was further saddened by a beating administered by the Sampter five and another one point defeat by the Kennard town team. Then the collegians pulled a surprise by upsetting the undefeated Columbus quint. After that they followed the victory with two more, spilling West Point and Sampters. These gave the Jayvees the required number of wins to place them in the high four play-off. In the championship flight. Mid- land again whipped Columbus under adverse predictions, but lost to Ken- nard and Arlington. This put the local squad in second rank. Laurence Zevitz received honor at the close of the season when he was named on the second all-star selec- tion. Louis Petersen was given honorable mention for his perform- ance at guard. Three Columbus men and two Arlington players made up the first all-star team. • Bj V row: Atiiilini Managrr Andtrton. Cady. Fuhrmritfrr. Obtrg. Thomttn. Coach l.awttnct From row: Zcritz. Btckcnhaorr.

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

THE 1933 WARRIOR v INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL INTRA MURAL STANDING TEAM Junior . . . Freshman . Senior . . . Sophomore WON I.OST , 5 2 4 3 3 3 . I 5 By defeating the freshmen 18 to 9 in a special play-off, the juniors became champions of the Intra- Mural basketball league sponsored by the Blue Key. The juniors won five and lost two games during the season. During the regular play-off the four teams played their opponents twice. Proof that this season’s com- petition was spirited, is shown by the fact that the juniors had but 112 points to their opponents’ 112. Early in the season the “forecast pail'' was neatly overturned when the freshmen beat the seniors 15 to 10. The fourth year team was the favorite to win. having taken the championship the year before as juniors. The sophomores were ousted from the running when the junior squad defeated them 32 to 29. The second year men made losing games their specialty. Junior and freshmen ended the regular schedule in a tie with four wins and two losses each. JUNIORS Back row: Lundstrom.
