TIGERS BATTLE BIG BEDS RESUME This year's group of juniors and sophomores may not have won many games, but they won some- thing better. That something was experience. Next year all the boys Will be back and all will be vete- rans. If Coach Iohnson can get a tall boy to work around, the 1946- 47 quintet Will be the team to watch in the Conference, we pre- dict. Dorr Grover, tall star, was lost by graduation at mid-year, a severe loss to the team. Then, too, this year's team did not have all the luck in the World, at times. Some new boys may come up next winter to surprise everybody. That often happens. In the game against Holland, who turned out to be State Cham- pions in the tournament, the Tigers lost by one point in an overtime. Basketball is one of those unpre- dictable games.

S.. tv fa' Q , x. - H, x Coach Schaud . Q r P' S'WEST RUN NERSUP If the seconds of one year are any indication of the future varsity, then our school should fare well in the coming sea- sons. This year's aggregation of Reserve Basketeers were as fighting and spirited a group as we have seen. Under Coach Larry A. Schaude the Little Tigers played in ll games, as they Won eight and dropped just three. This was Coach Schaude's initial season as a basketball coach. He succeeded Mr. Herman A. Kruizenga who compiled an enviable record over a period of several years with the Reserves. Rene McDowell, right guard, was high scorer for the year. Harold Han- sen, at left forward, Was second in scoring and was elected captain. Bob- VanderVen was the tall- est boy on the team, and held down center post. Bill Caughey, at left guard, was an exception- ally good ball handler, setting up many good shots for his team-mates. Gene Fisher, right for- ward, was offensive threat in early victories. Proud of its double vic- tory over Muskegon, the Little Tigers finished in second place in the South- Western Conference. SEASON SCORES Hts ..... 33 22 .... G. R. Union Hts ..... 27 25 .... B.
