Review of Season The Huskies opened the season with a 17-16 win over Waverly in their quarter ol' thc North East Iowa Conference Jamboree at Decorah, Franklin High of Cedar Rapids beat the Huskies in the first regular game 54-39. After this the Oclweinite's victories and losses came in streaks during the following two months of the season. A four game winning streak was followed by four straight losses and five consecutive wins. Nashua was the first victim of the Husky attack in a 49-36 uprising, Jerry 'Tadpole Platt. who had just recently returned from Iowa City, paced the team with 14 points. First conference foe of the Huskies, New Hampton, was turned back 44-41. Osage was trounced 52-30. Independence was nosed out in the last fcw minutes 56-52. The losing streak was particularly disheartening to fans and the team be- cause all four games were lost by a combined total of only 14 points. Each of the games was against formidable foes and the outcome of the game was not definite until the gun had gone off. Scores were Cedar Falls 58-55, Charles City 47-42, East Waterloo 48-46, and Waverly 51-47. In the annual alumni scrimmage, a team of recent grads defeated the varsity 50-43. Vastly improved since the season's start, Husky bask-etballers launched 1952 in a glorious way by beating five conference teams in a row. Decorah, Cresco, Cedar Falls, Charles City, and New Hampton-in that order-suc- cumbed to the O-elwein attack. The local outfit won three of the remaining five games from Osage, Independence, and Cresco, and lost two on foreign courts to Waverly. A scrappy Maynard quintet went down in defeat, 50-35, in the first round of the sectional tournaments at Fayette. Tough Sumner went down before the Husky attack 62-49. This contest sent the Huskies into district tournaments at Waverly against the host team.
