Basketball John Van Winkle Free Throw Award Virden's team this year was a small but quick and determined crew. With no height to work on, the boys played very good ball all season. The team won T3 of 25 games including tournament games. Virden lost the M.S.M. to Franklin by a score of 76 to 63. Virden played a tall Springfield High team in the Regional Tour- nament. The boys in purple and white put up a good battle and it was a close game until the second half when the superior height be- gan to tell. The Bulldogs finished a rather discouraging season as far as the M. S.M. was concerned but have hopes that they will cap the M.S.M. Conference next year. A rough game!
