Returning his sen- ior year to exhibit his con- sistent scoring and faking, he captained the squad to a very successful season. Basketball + f f f f + + Success which attended the varsity football team was carried over ,into the basketball season by the Roosevelt cagers. Coached by Lieut. Babcock, and under the leadership of Steamer Steve Ferrin, the varsity team won 14 out of 26 games. Basketball probably more than any other game i11 its field requires the utmost teamwork and cooperation among individuals. Skill, courage, and endurance are the three main factors necessary to a successful basketball player, and we feel that the men that made up this years varsity squad possessed not only these three, but also fight Hlld spirit which go to make a winning team. Playing for the first time ill the Mid-West Prep Conference along with such teams as: Culver, Morgan Park, and St. .lohn's, tl1e cagers gave a good account of themselves by winning four games and losing three, finishing in fourth place. ' Participating in the Little Nine Conference, the Rough Riders fin- ished in fourtli place also. ln the state tournament the varsity team finished second i11 the district. The first night the team defeated Oqnawlia and earned a chance to play the powerful Seaton team. Defeating them in a very hard game, t11e cagers niet the powerful New Boston team and were defeated in a very close game. Capt. Ferrin was the leading scorer i11 the tournament, scoring 42 points in the three games. The Roosevelt cagers will miss Capt. Ferrin's consistent scoring, Schirma.nn's dead left hand hook shot which accounted for 250 points and the team's scoring honors for the second year ill a rowg Drury's F01't.y-fOllI'
