By beating Wausau in the final game of their regular season, the Hodags became co-title holders with Wausau and Antigo. This was the sixth title in Leksell's seven years of coaching Rhinelander basketball teams. The boys in green and white started the season with a non-conference win over Eagle River. The first conference game was discouraging to the fellows, for they lost to Stevens Point by the close score of 34-32. For a number ge 30 , Reich.

MOON' B' N of weeks after this unexpected loss, the Hodags were successful against foes from Ironwood, Nekoosa, Wau- sau, Tomahawk, and Merrill. This string of victories was interrupted by a defeat at the hands of Marshfield. When the game was over, the Hodag followers were amazed to see the score 36-23, with their favorites on the short end. At Rhinelander the Leksellmen beat Antigo but the next week when they went to Antigo, the score was about reversed with the Ants receiving the victory. In the last three games the Hodags went on a ramp- age, beating Wisconsin Rapids, Ironwood, and Wausau, the latter game clinching for them a share of First place in the conference standings. At the district tournament, which was held in Rhine- lander, the Hodags beat Crandon and Antigo, but lost in their final game to a scrappy team from Laona by a margin of just one field goal, 24-22. Winning a share of the title wasn't the only honor received by the boys. George Cebula, who was adept at faking his guard out of position, was second high scorer in the conference along with being named to the center position for the second consecutive year. Joe Champeau, who was a forward on last year's all-conference team, was named as a guard this year. He was one of the best guards in the conference and the spark of the Hodag quintet. Bob Moore, a forward on our team, was named to the all-conference second team. The season closed with a banquet, given by the Ath- letic Association, to which all members of the A and B teams were invited as well as the men faculty members.
