HO ORABLE ME TIC Vern Ogden--Senior - Forward. This four-year veteran left-hander accumulated an amazing record in percentage of field goals made--close to 50070 of shots attempted in the first tcn games. A badly sprained ankle received in the Wall Lake game benched him for a couple of weeks. Gene Gunderson - Senior - Center. Gene was the lead- ing scorer and top rebounder of the club, averaged better than 17 points per game at midseason. He put on a 32 point splurge in the Auburn game and shot 38 points against Alta. Lowell Brower - Senior - Guard, Center. Our ability to control the backboards was the one big factor that helped win nine out of ten games. Brower and Gunderson con- trolled 85 lo of the teams rebounds. Brower's hook shot added power to the one-two punch of Odebolt's double- post offense. Ronnie Salmonson - Senior - Forward. Ronnie's advance from PT class to lst team varsity in one year was a rarity. He has fine aggressive spirit that he maintained at a tor- rid pace through out the season. His ball-hawking tech- nique was a tremendous help in producing a winning sea- son. Don Hoefling - Senior - Guard. Scrap and determina- tion helped Skip become a first rate ball player. Later in the season he combined these with the ability to score and never relinquished his starting berth. Charles Mandernach - Sophomore - Guard. Used spar- ingly at the beginning of the season, Chuck broke into the lineup after demonstrating his net-slashing shooting from out front. His ability to hit from out broke up several defenses that were encountered during the season. LaDon Hoefling - Sophomore - Forward. Speed is a con- tributing factor to the success of any ball team. With L,aDon in the line up the tempo of the game was always increased. Fast break worked well for him. Big things to come from this little fellow. Dale Lange - Senior - Center. Dale made competition rough for that starting post position. He developed a daz- zling hook-shot that couldn't be stopped, When credit is given for the success ofthis year's basketball team Dale's name must be included high on the list. Dean Richardson -Junior - Guard. Dean developed a good sense of peripheral vision. This helped his already good passing game. Along with Mandernach, Hoefling, and others, Dean should be a leader for next year's squad. He's the only returning junior letterman. Bill Halboth - Sophomore - Center. For Bill, improve- ment was achieved at the price of hard work. Probably no one ever doubted that Bill would make the grade. Watch for more improvement in 1954 and '5-5.
