Then the team hit a streak of bad luck, dropping every remaining game except the final one. Thus their record looks rather bad, but the record doesnt tell all the story. About half of the games were won or lost by a margin of only a few points. In fact, there was one overtime and one double overtime game. Several other factors that aren't shown in the record book are the tribes increased team spirit over the last few years, the good sportsmanship shown this year, and the steady This im- improvement that the team has displayed. provement leads us to believe that the team will have a much better season next year and that there is real growth and development in good basketball playing in our school, Coach Coleman deserves high praise for this. The season had two surprising events. The first was Oberlins victory over Fairview, the league champions, in which Oberlin piled up its largest vic- tory margin of the year. The second was in the State Basketball Tournament. Though Oberlin drew a large Cleveland high school, Lakewood, as its op- ponent and finally lost the game, the teams record and quality of performance are ones of which we can justly be proud. Top scoring honors this year were taken by lack Coniam with 510 points. Dick Dewey scored 196 points to be the second highest scorer.
