Jim Boldt Jim Dengel Reid Horle Jim Grogan Roy Sauer Bob Yahr Harry German Richard Klein Fred Reimann Bob Weiss Highlights of the Season For their opening game the Benders traveled to Slinger and took a non-conference victory by a score of 34 to 20. Boldt, Dengel, and Horle were the outstanding sharpshooters. Later when a return game was played the Benders triumphed with a score of 40 to 2I. Two games against Cedarburg were won by West Bend, the first 33 to 25, and the second 35 to 29. On December 4, in a fast-moving game with Kewaskum the Red and White five finished with a 24 to I8 win. Then the follow- ing week Coach Bucci's squad fought with Waupun for a well- deserved 26 to 24 victory. However, in the next game the Green and White boys from Port scored a 37 to 20 victory. The I4th of December saw the Red and White squad lose its first conference game to the title-holding Horicon team, score 38 to 26. The next Friday the Benders dropped a tough overtime thriller to Hartford. At the final whistle the Benders needed one basket. Score Hartford 37, West Bend 35, When the team took on Columbus, Reid HorIe's high score of I3 points could not carry the victory. The Benders lost 46 to 34. ln the next tilt, Jim Boldt was high scorer with I0 points. Both teams played a tight, defensive game, but even the 5 points by Huna Klein and the 4 extra points by Horle failed to stop Berlin from winning by 28 to 2I. The con- ference game at Beaver Dam on january I8 gave the Benders their fifth loss. Although Dengel and Horle made 28 points, the final score was 50 to 3I. The following week at Mayville the Benders, by setting a hot pace during the second half, got rid of their jinx and won by a score of 39 to 32. Dengel led the scoring with I4 points while Horle followed with I2. Next came Hartford. Here the Benders were unable to hit their stride, and after an 8 to 8 deadlock in the first quarter, lost by a score of 32 to 28. In the last three games of the season, the Benders took a win from Ripon and Iost to Port Washington and Oconomowoc. Then at the regional tournament, playing superb ball, the Red and White was defeated by one point by Sheboygan, score 4l to 40, and by two points by Ripon, score I8 to I6. VVest Bend drops another shot through the hoop to add two points to the score. VVest Bend guards closely as Hartford takes the ball out of bounds.
