y r 75 iLife im College Team Empty Seats brought back a happy crowd of old timers last Sep- tember. They were glad because they felt sure of seeing a schedule of basket ball games with rival colleges and high schools. The most optimistic of them could not have hoped for a more successful season than the one just finished. The available hrst team stuff to begin with, seemed decidedly raw. Swartz had seen some experience on a high school team, the rest of the squad had never played off the home fioor. The games scheduled were with the best teams of Northern lllinois. The first three games played were with l'olo lligh School. The Col- lege lost two of them because of inexperience and inability to shoot a fair proportion of their fouls. The All Stars, a pick up team of University sharks, home for vacation proved easy picking. Charley Holsinger brought up a quintet of real players and administered the worst defeat of the season. These were the dark days. The team lacked unity, coaching and a system of signals and trick plays. Ray llaker was secured to coach the squad. Bake certainly deserves the gratitude of the school for his efficient work. About this time Xlahoy went on as forward which also helped some, with emphasis on the some. Lanark's goat was the first of the nice little herd we now have grazing on the gym rloor. Delialb Normal arrived january Qslth. They out weighed the home team several pounds, and had an almost unbeaten record of six years playing together. They were so contident of beating us that they had marked the game up as a victory before leaving llelxalb. So when we slipped them the small end of a 33:3-SSH score they considered it a personal in- sult. The score stood ISU-30 when the whistle sounded. The needed basket was made by a trick. play, Mahoy getting the ball at the tap off and passing it to NVilson who shot the basket. This was, without doubt, the most exciting moment in the history of the college. hlumbo filled the entire southwest cor- ner of the gym and made a noise like a boiler factory, while l'rof. Hendrick- son stood on his ear by the door. The last game on the home fioor proved easy picking. The victims being ll. XX'alter and his Naperville High School five. 'Z-Xnyhow, said lieanie, we'll get you at Xapervillef' This they failed to do in the return game played on St. X'alentine's day. l3eanie's goat came along back and joined the happy family in the gym. where it may be seen, any day, conteutedly licking the varnish off the lndian clubs. Lanark gave us our tifth straight victory. Mahoy secured twenty-two of the forty-four points made. with llave Stoutfer, an old M. M. C. man, on him as guard. i Friday, lfebruary 28th, the last scheduled game of the season was played at Delialb. Although the team played a fast consistent game the immense fioor space, fast playing and slaughter house methods of their op- ponents led to their down fall. The seventy rooters that accompanied the team performed nobly, creating no little disturbance at the game. and to various restaurant owners and passenger conductors enroute. As the con says, No gentlemans would make so much noisefl The Finishing touch was put on a successful season by an easy victory over the l'olo All-Stars. llooni-a-chicka-llooni2 lioom.-a chicka boom! l' h ka' l'1tl at 'lutlvi 'hi'l' k l o l .oom a c ic . vc if-c c 1, t 't va ric a no m. lloom a chicka rat trap, bigger than a cat trap!
