BASKETBALL Seventeen boys reported to Coach Anderson to start the 1940-41 basketball season. Under a new system, the boys did well this year winning 13 games and losing 8. In the Little Ten Tournament the hoys won their first game from Hinckley, 29-26. The next game they lost to Karlville in a heartbreaking game—losing in the last 3 seconds after coming from behind—the final score was 28-27. Sandwich lost the first game in the Regional Tournament at Aurora to Batavia. The scoring this year was built around Schultz and Sedgwick who could score freely from any place on the hardwood. Larson was a man the team could not have done without because of his defense and rebound work. Cunz proved himself valuable to the team by breaking up plays and stealing the hall when Sandwich needed it. Hough was a hard worker and a vicious rebounder. In two of the best games the boys played this year, they lost to Karlville and to Waterman. The latter team was in the state semi-finals. Sandwich had won 6 games in a row and was trying to make it 7, hut Waterman won 21 to 19 in a game in which every member of the two teams played polished basketball. Next year there will he almost a full team of sophomores. By graduation the team loses Larson. Schultz, Cunz, and Sedgwick. FIRS!
