l 'MTU THE TARKIANA, 1936 jgziaigfllgni C, 1935-1936 Coach N. P. Kyle faced a tough basketball season minus the .55 cream of his stars of the previous year, with the result that the burden had to fall upon a combination of the surviving' squad members who had lettered, and Freshmen. 1 Lee Padget, Eldon Fuhrman and Evan Peters were the 4 Freshmen who carried a large share of the season's burden and I ' J - . . . A ' they give promise of being a nucleus of a great team. In ad- dition, there were new men on the reserve squad who will have an opportunity to develop next year. Beside the three freshmen who received letters, five veterans from previous years were so honored. Capt. Sheldon Nauman, Willard Charles, Lynn W'olfe, Fred Omer and Earl Cohen. Charles, three years all-conference, completed his four years of competition at the end of the first semeste1'. Fred Omer, lanky Tabor, Iowa center and guard, was elected to captain the 1936-37 team. 75' Nauman's consistent scoring' and his abil- -QQ.. ity to drive in and garner points when they were sorely needed contributed much to the team this year. His courage and fine atti- tude macle him a leader of the highest type. He will he g'reatly missed by the team next year. ' 1 tT.'U'T. NAUMAN eighty ff 4 r l EACH ROW: fi '1f'f'f from Row: N t ff I.
