THE M115-B011 mn gg 1929 EVANSVILLE 38 O. C. C. 16 December 7 The Oaks journeyed to. Eftown for the first game of the season, and exceedingly bright hopes were held by all for a win. The boys had showed up fine in all practice sessions and could score at will against all the secondary guards Coach Pinnick could muster. Many of the student body were there, including the band, but they were disappointed as the Oaks did not live up to expectations. Three of last year's stars were missing and for the most part the team showed lack of experience. They just couldn't get started-is the whole story. Oakland had many shots but could not conf vert them into points, with the resultgEftown 19-Oaks 9 at halfway point. The second half was practically a repetition of the first. Dunn was outstanding for Oakf land both on offense and defense. Wilder played a consistent game as did Smith, who was in the thick of things until ousted on personals. For an opening game, the play was very clean and free from roughness. VINCENNES 46 O. C. C. 27 December 10 On Monday night following the game at Evansville, the Oaks entertained the University of Vincennes, and the latter went home with a 46f27 victory. Oakland showed the same inability to locate the basket as in the first game. Coach Pinnick used all his squad in this game trying to find an effective combination. Vincennes had no difficulty in getting open shots and usually converted them into points from any angle. Captain Wilder, Smith, and Johnson were the best performers for the Oaks. DANVILLE 62 O. C. C. 23 December 12 ' After a day of rest the Oaks journeyed to Danville where they met the best team they faced during the entire season. It was just to much Reeves Brothers. All of the Oaks got a chance to perform but were considerably outclassed. Dunn and Johnson were the only Oakland players to get more than one field goal apiece. Har- grave, while going away from the goal, made one of those freak overhead, onefhand shots we so seldom see, to set the crowd in an uproar. Wheel ROSE POLY 19 O. C. C. 41 December 1 3 On the night following the Danville game the Oaks broke into the win column by handling Rose Poly a 41f19 defeat at Terre Haute. It was a slow, one-sided con- test, and the Engineers never threatened. Oakland was hitting better than in previous games but also missed many underfthe basket shots. Anie Smith was outstanding in floor work and scoring, with all the other players performing in nice style. STATE NORMAL 44 O. C. C. 37 January 4 Putting forth probably the best basketball that they had shown during the season, the Oaks emerged in arrears again at Terre Haute in a game with one of the best secondary teams of the state. Coach Pinnick started his two freshmen forwards and they played a wonderful game, both in scoring and floorwork. First one team and then the other was leading, with the Oaks having the advantage at the rest period. Anie Smith's eelflike slipperiness made him stand out, while the defensive work of Wilder and Stone was excellent. Page Ninetyfjive
