Bruin cagers, under the skillful direction of Coach Iohn Middlesworth, played a successful season winning 12 of their 16 games. Their first victory was over Monroe with a 32-23 score. Ecorse was next on the slate and was wiped off 28 to 21. Highland Park provided the next opposition and more than usual interest was manifested in the game because the Parksters were new to the league and their strength unknown. The battle was a tough one but resulted in a 4-point victory for Wyandotte 41-37. There must be some clouds with each bit of sunshine and Royal Oak provided the first darkening of the skies in eking out a 50-49 win. River Rouge 34-29 and Grosse Pointe 44-40 were the next two victories for the Bears and was followed by a contested game which was won by Roosevelt with a forfeit score of 2-0. Three more victories were scored before another defeat was suffered. Lincoln Park was edged out 32-31, Highland Park 40-38 and Ecorse was swamped 44-26. Royal Oak, the only team to defeat Wyandotte twice during the season. scored a 41-30 victory and then in another close one. Ferndale was forced to accept the small end of a 36-34 score. Grosse Pointe scored the largest point total for a single game against the Bears to win 65-43 and to end the regular season Wyandotte defeated Fordson 49-46. During the season the Roosevelt cagers scored 573 points as against 557 for their opponents under the captaincies of Gordon Tarrant the first semester and Dick Moss. Second place honors were won in the Border Cities League. High point man was Iohn Iaciuk with 178 tallies. A record of 31 points for a single game was set by Iaciuk. which is only four short of the Border Cities League record of 35. Ioe Catarino registered 164 points, Dick Moss 61 and Tarrant, who played but one semester, 58. Field goal shooters in the .300 or better class were Flory, Tarrant and Iaciuk. Moss, Tarrant and Iaciuk had percentages of .600 or better from the foul line. During the season attendance and receipt records were broken and showed the inadequacy of the gymnasium for spectator facilities.
