The basketball team of 1959 was called by some experts a rebuilding year for Coach Rickson. With only two returnees from last, year,s varsity team, the team went out and battled gamely to win the respect of all. Every game was played with high spirit, good sportsmanship, and great determination. The team was built around the two returning vet- erans, Captain Russ Landberg and Paul LaBrecque, along with some of the more experienced J.V.,s from C :'chRiCkS '1 last year. The team opened up its season with Jerry Thornell, centerg Rich Holmberg, left forwardg Jeff Davison, right forward: Jim Painten, right guardg and Russ Landberg, left guard. They were ably backed up by Fred Bonner, Al Firnrohr, George Tibbets, Frank Gadbois, and others. The team, probably one of the most unlucky teams ever to eome out of this school, had lost, at mid-season, four games, by less than four points in overtime. Although it was 011 the losing side of the ledger,.the team was very colorful and won the praise of opposing teams and coaches. Anyone who saw our team in action and then saw them go into one of those all-court pressesf' or come from behind to tie the score with only seconds remain- ing got a certain thrill out of supporting such a team.
