1. BRO0MS John Brooms Abramovic, truly one ot the greatest basketball players to ever don a unitorm, led his Salem College basketball mates through a most successtul season, and he himselt brolce records so otten that it was a matter ot recourse with the big boy. l-le set a single game record tor the entire nation when he scored 53 points against West Virginia Wesleyan in a game at Mount Hope on the night ot February 25th. l-le accounted tor this total on 2I tield goals and Il touls. This pertormance also broke the state conterence record ot 4I points held by Kenny Grittith, which Broomsl' had previously tied twice. The second record that the sleelc haired Croation trom Etna Pa. shattered was the state tournament record ot 32 which he broke by scoring 33 points in the opening round game with Fairmont State. The tormer record was held by Bob Pence, who was playing opposite Brooms the day he brolce the record. The third, and by no means least important, was the brealcing ot the national scoring record tor a single season. This year as he was scoring 777 points tor the 26 games that the Tigers played, he pushed the previous record into oblivion by well over IOO points. While he was brealcing these records and doing all this scoring, never once did Brooms tail to play a strong tloor game to aid the cause ot his mates, and no time during the season did he let his scoring or individual play upset the team morale.
