K 1-ff' HSHLHR Q H Vernon Bradford has served faithfully since his election last September as the efficient head yell-lead- er of the college through the football and basket ball seasons. This is his third year in the college. He is a member of the student government. He takes a leading part in arranging and playing in those preliminary basketball games which are the delight of the college students. In his freshman year he was the runner-up in the college tennis tournament, and last year he was a member, of the tennis squad. Ver- non has served several semesters as sports editor of the Whistler and is associated with those organizations in the college which stand for progress and character. VERNON BRADFORD Basketball Out of nearly new material Coach M. A. Collard this year constructed a cage squad which compiled one of the finest records made by an Ozark Wesleyan team in any past year. Only one game did this team lose in the official basketball season, and only one Ieraptice game, played early in December with the varsity team of the Pittsburg Teachers' o ege. A In spite of the fact that Pittsburg buried them under a one-sided score. the Lions ,- set such a fast pace in the January-February season that they completed their schedule with an average of 22 points a game as compared with an average of 28 points for their , opponents in the eight games of 1929. This splendid average was good for seven victories an one de eat. . U The best game of the season was probably that. with the Northeast Oklahoma -' Junior College on the local court. On this occasion the Lions taught their opponents so r much .about basketball that Northeast defeated them when a return game was played' at ,, Miami.. Another. feature of the season was a two-day trip to Bolivar and Jefferson City. j At Bolivar the Lions administered their second punishment of the year to the Southwest gi . Baptist College, 36 to 31. The following night at Jefferson City, the Jefferson City Junior .LL College Bears were victims of the highest score made by the Lions during the year, 23 to 43. The two victories over Bolivar this year evened an old score with the Baptists who defeated the Lions twice in 1927. 4' At the opening of the second semester the Lions lost their captain and star guard, Vic ,. Woods, who did not re-enter college. His loss was keenly felt the remainder of the season. ,,:.
