FOR ACTION pia . The Wildcats again proved tough and the Blue Jays were eliminated from the tourna- ment. Although the-won-and-lost records were not too impressive, every game was exciting and several games were lost by just a few points. Losing only three seniors through gradu- ation, the Blue Jays should be looking forward to next year with higher hopes. m JIM BOLTINGHOUSE Sophomore forward Two-year ietterman U DENNIS LACHER Senior guard Two-year Ietterman A r 'S s ALBERT LEWIS Senior guard Three-year Ietterman n ■ % A 1 ri vvI ERNIE HARTMAN Junior center Three-year Ietterman
