gcwlfefdaf IN EIG1-ITEEN action-packed games, our VVa1'rior basketeers piled up eleven victories and gained the enthusiastic admiration of every WValdorfite plus a good deal of respect from every opno- nent on the roster. Revenge is sweet, and the VVa1'riors had it anlenty as they revenged every loss but one, that of Mason City, who pulled out of the iire in a thriller and bagged a 57-56 vic- tory that was heartbreaking. After starting the season with three consecutive losses, our boys broke into the win column against Rochester, and went on to run wild over Iowa Conference foes, compiling an 8-game winning streak before losing to the same Rochester aggregation that gave them their first Win of the season. VVe can point with pride to our seventh-place Warriors, for the Iowa Conference is composed of no less than twenty-two teams. In the Iowa State Junior College tournament, disaster struck, in the form of a rejuvinated Eagle Grove club. Having decisively beaten the Pirates twice in the conference race, the VVarriors slipped, and allowed them to carry off a 50-48 win that abruptly ended our tournament play and placed a heavy-hearted finale on a very successful season.
