Coach Eugene Davis led the basketballers to a winning season and a second place linish in the BCL, establishing this squad as one of the outstanding teams in Monroe's history. Dick Fulkerson, who captained the team and was named most valuable, broke his own season scoring record by swishing 234 points through the nets. Dick also set a high school record of 507 points. To add to his honors, Fulkerson was chosen to the All-State third team. The other members proved to be outstanding either defensively or offensively. Sid Beauregard controlled the backboards well all year. Barney Kaiser found the range at midseason and hit the hoop consistently throughout the remaining games. Frank Barron and Gene McDaniel were instrumental in working the ball in, and both played excellent defensive games. Part of the team's success was due to greater reserve strength. Second team members could be used more than in previous seasons. Bill Land, Don Whited, Don Ethridge, Bill Burkett, Bob Woodward and Nick Basile all had their moments of glory. Exciting Trojan victories were: the Wyandotte game, when Gene McDaniel's two free throws gave Monroe a 36-34 victory, the game in which the cagers slipped by Highland Park 41-40 with all the players making a good showingg and Bob Wood- ward's sparking the team to victory over Fordson 35-29 in his first varsity game. Varsity letters were awarded to Dick Fulkerson, Frank Barron, Bill Land, Sid Beauregard, Marvin Kaiser, Don Whited, Don Ethridge, Bill Burkett, Bob Wood- ward, Nick Basile and Gene McDaniel. -41-

Football The Trojan football squad, under the direction of Coach George Miller, opened the season with high hopes of improving their position in the Border Cities League. The opening encounter was an impressive 7-6 victory over Trenton. As the score indicates, it was a Hne show of defense by both squads. Tom Yinger made a 40-yard run for the Monroe score. A spot pass from Freeman Stickney to Sid Beau- regard provided the margin of the extra point. The next six games were not as bright, as the eleven sagged in consecutive de- feats. In two of these contests the breaks made the difference, as the Trojans out- played their opponents. The success of the season was established in the Adrian game. The Trojans defeated the Maple Leafs in a real thriller, 19-18. Yinger went over from the two for the first score. A completed pass, Stickney to Dick Fulkerson, made the all im- portant point. Yinger and Fulkerson made the other touchdowns. Bill Burkett captained the team and John Kohler was named most valuable. Prospects for next year are very bright. The gridders have a returning letter- man at every position except center. Captain-elect Ron Haveraneck leads this aggregation.
