K Quintet Shares City Crown The night of November 29 marked the opening of the 1966-67 Northwest- ern Wildcat junior varsity basketball season. That evening the ' Cats thumped Port Huron Northern 66-42. After los- ing to Saginaw 75-60, the Wildcats reeled off five straight wins. The second half of the season produced a mediocre five wins and four losses in an overall 11-5 mark. Included was a 4-2 city series record which brought a share of the city title with Central. Howard Walsh and Tony Tolbert showed enough talent to be promoted to the varsity. After their departure Calvin Holden and Cornelius Matthews carried much of the scoring load. Al- though sagging in the second half of the season, the ' Cats displayed the spirit and desire that can produce more win- ning seasons. Erskine Hodo (12) awaits the tip from Henry Jones (44) in a 74-54 win over Port Huron. J. V.
