The purple and white team jumped to an early lead which was never relin- quished as they were aided by the uncanny shooting eye of Andrews and the brilliant performance of Austin. Behmstedt, Bros- trum, and Perkins played good ball for Platteville. STEVENS POINT 41 PLATTEVILLE 38 ln a rough, ragged, thrill-a-minute battle.

When free throws count. Captain Rehmstedt the squad to round into shape. Besides the regular con- ference games this year's schedule included non-conference games with Columbia, University of Dubuque, Lennox, Car- roll, Concordia, and St. Ambrose. With the numbers in the percentage column relatively low. the success of the season must be gauged by the founda- tion laid in preparing a winning team for next year. Though slow to develop, the team by the end of the season was a good match for any of the conference teams.
