Forward Hawks Provided Plenty of Thrills The not-too-tall Hawk cage squad, under Coach John Ortwerth, started the season with a string of six victories before any opponent topped them. They journeyed to St. Louis for the Harris Teachers-Concordia Tournament and brought home the trophy. Then playing the next three games away from home, they trounced Millikin, Carthage and Augustana before the old rival, Western Illinois, beat them. On the road and at home, they provided the spectators with a multitude of thrills in tight games. The Hawks downed Concordia 77—74, Augustanta by only four points, and in their first home match, turned back Parsons 75—72. There was much to hope for in the future, considering the performances of the pre- dominantly Sophomore-squad. Sophs Don Kelly, Ted Budil, and Ed Buddeke, were regu- lar starters. With a good prospect in Leo Binz and some upper classmen to provide depth, the Hawks should fly even higher next season.
