FRESHMAN BASKETBALL BRICKLEY BODLEY DETHMAN MURPHY ANNIN BRADFORD DOYON FJELD STARK NIISNER BOWMAN MENZEL MAY DACHS FARRELL ' At the opening of the 1938 basketball season Coach Breeden found himself with a very promising crop of freshman hoopmen with whom he hopes to carry on the basketball supremacy of Montana State. Coach Breeden innovated a new system by allowing the freshman team a schedule of its own. Due to the fact that it was a new idea, the schedule was restricted to four games, all of which they won easily, later entering the inde- pendent tournament at Belgrade which they won. lt is through the efforts of the men who turn out for the freshman team that the following strong varsity teams are built. These men work hard through long practices and with very little chance of recognition for their efforts. However it is only with the experience that they gain in such a manner and also the idea that they learn to play well as a team that such practices are rated worthwhile. We truly feel that the freshman team was successful this year and it is the beginning of another good basketball era at Montana State College-Who knows?-Maybe they're the making of another Golden Bobcat team.

RUSSELL WILLS SAM SHOEMAKER JEAN BERG PAUL JOHNSON Bobcats Were rated the most popular team in the tournament due to their colorful wide-open style of play. Thus ended one of Montana State's most successful seasons. When the all- conference selections were released, Eddie Exurn and Bill Ogle appeared for the second consecutive time on the first team. Don Cos- ner was also placed on the first team. Dick Little Was named second all-conference for- ward and Iody Corbin third all-conference guard. Much credit should be given to Tuffy Feldman for his unquenchable fighting spirit, and the sportsmanship which he displayed all season. Eddie Exum, Bill Ogle, Iody Corbin, Tuffy Feldman, and Russel Wills have played their last game for Montana State and to them We give our best wishes and appreciation.

Due to the bad Weather and lack of facilities to train indoors the track men find it difficult to reach the peak of their condi- tion. Taking these factors into consideration, Coach Breeden has done re- markably Well with his team. The University will find it tougher than usual to Win this season. This year he is planning to take five or six men to the Rocky Mountain Inter- collegiate rneet. We feel sure that these men will make a commendable showing for Montana State.
