MoN1cAL WHITE WRIGHT The return of five lettermen of 1930 forecast a more than successful season for the 1930 S.I.N.U. basketball squad, but ineligibility and injury took their toll and the results of the season were mediocre. Passing was Well developed yet the team was unable to score consistently. Of those who scored during the season Hiller and Swofford were easily the oustanding performers. A new lad, Bricker, appeared in the line-up at center and performed creditably. Five wins 'against eleven losses represented the basketball record. The quintet finished well above the lower teams in the Little Nineteen Con- ference. Six lettermen will return for next year's season. The yearly game with St. Louis University at St. Louis ended with the Billikins winning by a score of 27-19. Although the Maroons held well until the last quarter, they were forced to admit defeat through the superior teamwork of the St. Louis five. Facing the Terre Haute Teachers on the first game of a road trip, the Southern Teachers were decisively outclassed 43-21. Terre Haute, holding the advantage of longer practice, outpassed and outshot the Maroon quintet. The Hoosiers enjoyed a comfortable lead at the half and never relinquished it. In the last game of the week-end road trip, the Southerners meet the Eastern Teach- ers at Charleston in the first conference match for both teams. The Panthers managed to Win out, 34-26, in the final minutes of the battle on Well directed long shots. Fouls were particularly in evidence. ' In the opening game of the home season the Southerners nosed out the Arkansas Aggies, 22-20, in a clean and exciting battle decided by Wright's long shot near the One Hundred Forty-six
