BASKETBALL Team Improved As Season Progressed W The Golden Beavers under the guidance of Mr. Don Lenz, Western's new Head Coach, im- proved last year's record. Al- though the season did not prove to be as successful as anticipated, Western picked up seven wins. At the start of the season, the team faced several defeats. The first victory was a win over North- western with a score of 76-63. This win proved to be the incentive for capturing two more consecutive wins. The Section 17-B contest at West Allegheny was the most disappoint- ing game for the Beavers. An un- expected rally by West Allegheny in the final minutes of the game gave them the victory. Although the Southside game must be labeled the most exciting, all the games otfered many thrills to the hoards of Western Beaver fans who attended. Gaining experience through rigid competition, the returning players are optimistic for a more gratifying season in the coming year. I -Q, LETTERING in the 1968-69 season were: Juniors, Barry Dawson and Dave McCreery: Seniors, Chuck Barrickman, Chuck Kclker, and Ron Misorski. Missing from the picture is senior Bob Benek. 112 far.
