Neat Hoor work and clever MERTON HEAD Pete Although getting a poor start at the beginning of the season, Pete has developed in wonderful form. If he improves next year as he has in the last month he will be one of the greatest guards ever graduated from the S. A. U. M. H. RAY CLINE ffPadd1yI! Paddy with his drive and en- durance has been a great cog in our basket-ball machine this year. His speed has kept many an op- ponent fagged out in trying to follow him. Because of gradua- tion his position will be hard to fill next year. ELMER BEAN ffBeanV!J passingf' the motto of this clever player, has certainly been upheld. His work has done much to strengthen the S. A. U. M. team this year. In shooting baskets he is second high point man on the team. EVERETT KEYES Ev or High Everett has proven himself a Captain of real ability. Under his leadership the basket-ball squad has developed a real fight- ing spirit. As an individual player he has starred high. He has led the team in scoring. He always aimed to get the tip off thereby inspiring his team mates to do their best. Page One Hundred Forty-1z1'ne

CLIFFORD UKKELBERG Ukk', was one of the outstand- ing players that reported for duty this year, but due to a misfortune in hurting his knee, he has been unable to show his skill in basket- ball. Ukk will be with the team one more year. There will be few forwards that can get around him, , LEE DE GRISELLES rrLeeJ1 Among the new basketball men to come out to practice was Lee. He is one of the most wonderful reserve men ever appearing on an Aggie team. He is able to fill any position, which he is asked to play, and to Hll it well. The team re- grets l1e will not be back next year. CONRAD CLEMENTSON Clem Clem also was one of the promising new players to appear this year. Misfortune robbed the team of his services as well as Ukk's. He will be back again next year and his 6 foot 4 height will prove of great advantage. ERNALD MILLER Miller After only a few weeks of play- ing Ernald was lost to the team because of illness. His place at forward was hard to fill and the team has suffered from his ab- sence. 1 V, If-D VY: ,wilful I I Q i Tl-J i - s . f f 1 Y.' . 1 gg , .. ,,,,, .i,. Page One Humlrvrl Fortyaeighl

THE FIRST BASKETBALL TEAM HEN Coach Thompson issued a call for basketball players, fifty loyal eg Aggies responded, among whom were six of last year's players. The final 7 :W ,A line up for the season led by Captain Keyes was: Keyes, centerg Bean and Miller, forwards, Cline, Ukkelberg and Head, guards, Clementson and DeGriselles doing reserve duty at center and guards respectively. The lid was officially pried off the basketball season by a game with the Alpha Gama Roe Fraternity, in which the Aggies were victorious. On January 8th the Aggies played Mankato Commercial College at Mankato and came home with the short end of a 20 to 17 score. They were again defeated when Mankato played a return game on February 11tl1. The Aggies were handi- capped at this time by the illness of Miller and Head. January 16th found the Aggies testing their skill with Phalen Luther in one of the most thrilling games in Aggie history. Although Phalen won by a score of 24 to 21, we are proud of the showing our boys made. In the St. Cloud game on Jan. 23rd another thrilling game took place. The Aggies were leading during the whole game and twice during the last half had a lead of five points. In the last few minutes of play their running guard sank several long field goals which decided the game 39 to 31 in their favor. At the annual Home Coming and Field Meet the S. A. U. M. team defeated the Alumni team by a score of 241 to 16. The remaining games include Concordia, Minnesota College and Phalen Luther. Sweaters and letters will be presented to the winners of the A at our Athletic Club'Banquet. Page One Hrzmireil Fifiy
