Prince Lightfoot shows his true Indian spirit as he leads the Redskins in a war dance. Co-captain Bob Bedell lays one in over the back of Oregozfs Nick Jones. The Varsity Basketball team placed third in the AAVV U Conference with a record of 8 wins and 6 losses. The overall season record was 13 wins and 12 losses. Coach Howie Dallmar said the following about the season. iiIt was a frustrating season. We had some great games and then we had some very poor games. We were what you might call erratic. And the lack of consistency hurt tremendously. Some of the high spots of the season were the wins against UCLA and USF, and winning 3 out of 4 on the road in Los Angeles. Bedell and Kosanke had a great year and the loss of eight Seniors will hurt us in the experience department for next year. On the starting squad only two guards will be back next year. Another of our biggest problems for next year is size. But I hear we have some great upcoming freshman shooters? The Tribe wound up a somewhat disappoint- ing season with the 88-73 loss to California. And this was the lowest Stanford finish in Conference competition in four years. A quick review of the season showed the Indians rising to great heights and then falling. Perhaps the biggest wins were over USF, 81-78 in overtime, and UCLA, 74-69 before a regional television audience, halting a 36 game Bruin Conference win streak. Sophomore guard Cary Petersmeyer goes up for two on a lay up in the USF game.

Art Harris gets a lofty ride atop the pavilion pandemonium after the Indianst defeat over UCLA, stopping the Bruins 35 game win streak. The season,s 10w points were in a 94-54 loss to Arizona, the worst margin of defeat ever by a Dallmar-coached Stanford squad. As he moves into his 13th year as Head Coach, Howie is faced with replacing 3-year lettermen Bob Bedell, and Ray Ko- sanke, and six other members of the traveling team. Bedell was the top rebounder and fourth best among Stanford all-time scorers. Bob picked up 421 points to post a 16.8 average during the season. The 6911 Kosanke, a 2-year starter at center, will be another tough one to replace. Bay was third best scorer over the past two seasons. This year he hit for 351 points and a 14.0 average. Bay was the number one rebounder as a junior, and was second in rebounds this year. Other seniors that must be replaced are F orward Jack Gilbert, Guard Rod Young, Guard Mike Preisler, Guard Skip Hutchison, F orward Karl Wustrack, and Center Bill Farley. The top name returnng is sophomore sensation Art Harris who was awarded first team All-Coast honors. Art tallied 401 points to become the third sopho- more in Stanford basketball to hit 400 points in his first Varsity season.
