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.

Although the season had not yet started when this section of 'The Oaks was put to bed, the prospects for the season were very reassuring. Coach Okie Iohnson started the season with nine letterrnan back, plus a wealth of new material. The returning letterrnan are Paul Anderegg, Alvia Cater, Everett Grandelius, Ed Petrongelli, Lany Boone, Fred Moeller, Bob Erhardt, Ray Sanders, and Alan Kushner. George Washington has looked good in practice and should develop rapidly, as Strieqel at the catching post is also doing. .Stan Whitlow, Dick Ghezzi, Ray McLean, Bill Wansten, Neil Frick, and Dick Hagen complete the first string. The Tigers have a rather tough schedule this year but should -come through. Games are scheduled with S'West Conference teams -and also with Ravenna. v -fi Q ,- '-'fi ,, .,,l, A fl '77 GY- M4-4- :e' Q Vw , . -VII , ,V ,wmsfc 5 PRQPERTY OF f.Qtl 91.g DIRECTOR O. E.
