Injuries and illness riddled Coach Fleming's already small squad throughout the season. In addition to the Iunior College campaign, the maroon basketeers entered the Ridge Park house league as a unit. Competition in this league, composed mainly ot commercial teams, was very tough. The maroons Won five ot the contests in which they participated in this tournament. Morgan Park was eliminated from the championship bracket ot the annual Illinois Iunior College Conference basketball tournament by Wright Iunior College. Major basketball letters were awarded to Garness, Heagstedt, I-lowat, Huber, Klint, Tip- ler, Van Hot, Wesselius, and Ehrler, the manager. t43l

FOOTBALL Coach Floyd Fleming's 1938 football charges gave a good account of themselves in every game, and good hard playing and true sportsmanship highlighted throughout the season. M. P. M. A., 7: M. P. I. C., 0. Outconditioned five weeks to two, our eleven neither matched the Academy team's stamina nor its scoring punch. Wright 14: M. P. I. C., 7. As close as the new conference titleholders came to a de- feat all year. -M. P. I. C., 7: Lisle 6. A final minute touchdown by De Haan and a dramatic extra point conversion by Moore gave us our first conference victory. Concordia 12: M. P. I. C., 6. A defeat but definitely not a disgrace as the Iay Cee eleven played inspired football to give the powerful Concordia team a real battle. North Park 7: M. P. I. C., 6. Another close contest in which a moth-eaten s1eeper' play netted the enemy 70 yards, a touchdown, and a game which we should have Won. Morton 13: M. P. I. C., 12. Failure to hold a 12 to 6 fourth quarter advantage cost us a chance to win a second conference victory. Spectacular 80 and 85 yard runs by Leavitt and De Haan should have won the muddy battle, but Morton scored in the- closing minutes. M. P. I. C., 14: A. C. P. E., 7. Touchdowns by Kleinz and Garness gave the Iaycee eleven a margin which the visitor's rallies were unable to overcome. 1 Wilson 6: M. P. I. C., O. Still another close game which could have gone either Way was this Thanksgiving Day finale to the 1938 football campaign. Major football letters were awarded to Bailey, Blakeslee, De Haan, Garness, Kaliher, Kleinz, Leavitt, Moore, Monson, Putz, Riddle, Van l-lof, Weitzenfeld, Ziegrnont, Zelaboski, and Cain, the manager. 1421 Second How: Coach Flem-
