Of the large squad which turned out only three were previous lettermen and of these three only one had been a member of the previous year's squad. Feldmann and Pierce had both won their letters as members of the 1933 squad and Warren Pederson was returning to engage in his fourth year as an upholder of the Viking prestige on the basketball rloor. The rest of the squad was composed chieHy of freshmen and sophomores. Sathe and Codding were outstanding as the result of their line play as reserves on the 1935 squad.

BASKETBALL RESERVE l3.XSKE'll5Al,L TEAM an Back Row: A. Young, M, Nelson, N. Iohnson, Coach Brndner, W. Knurlson, I. Burchill, G. Kingston Front Row: E. Pietz CONFERENCE GAMES ,THROUGHOUT THE SEASON the Vikings played every team in the conference at least once. The first conference game was played here with Iamestown on Ianuary 24. The smooth conference champions from Iamestown college took advantage of the inexperienced Vikings to the tune of a 57-30 score. From then on a series of seven straight conference games was played. ln the First of these, the Vikings asserted their superiority over the Mayville Comets by outplaying them with a substantial 35-26 margin. The following week the Vikings played host to the well-balanced contingent from Minot Teachers college. Although outplayed during the greater part of the game the Beavers came back in the closing minutes with a victory at 27-25. A In the second meeting of the Vikings and the Iimmies Coach McLeod,s charges turned in a noticeably more effective performance than in the first meeting but the hot streak of Erik Peterson, Iamestown center, who rung up a total of eleven held goals, again put the Vikings on the short end of a 57-35 score. A much improved Mayville quint furnished the opposition for the next game. Lewy Lee's well trained five put on a good exhibition of what can be accomplished by sheer fight and aggressiveness when they put on an end of the game rally which put them out in front 34-31 at the final gun. When Coach Harry Weinbergen of Dickinson Normal brought his Savages here the following week the Vikings showed a complete reversal of form. The Savages invaded the Valley City camp as heavy favorites as a result of the surprising upset of the Iimmies. With Sathe leading the scoring the Vikings put on their best performance of the year and came off with a 39-33 victory. 3 BASKETBALL - 77ll - ' --- - - - -
