XVESTERN UNION COLLEGE BASKETBALL Basketball at VVL-stern Union College was completed February 25th when the Telegraphers met and defeated their ancient rivals, the Buena Vista Beavers, on the latter's court at Storm Lake. The season was peculiar, inasmuch as the team won games they were doped to lose and also lost some that should have been won. il n the -Iowa Conference standing VVestern Union won three confer- ence games and lost nine and is tied for ninth place with Penn College of Oslcaloosa. There were five outstanding teams in the Conference, while the remaining ten were of average caliber. . VVestern Union was handicapped in that only two letter men were on hand this year while the other three positions were filled by men who had very little experience. llfiost of the defensive strength centered around Hancer, a four year man, while Peterson a three letter man man was the chief cog in the lliaroon and Gold offense. llflen who won their letter this year are, Hancer, Peterson, Wichelt, Schuler, Kimm, Haas, and lNIcClelland. Five of the seven should be inschool next year and they should raise the school's standing in the con- ference considerably. Pagn 11

L .J 4. 2 CZ' 7 Cerst.-,',, 1 ,, ,E.,.Q,..: ,. s . ROCKWOOD, C ll plain t'Kelly is beyond a doubt the best offensive man ever to don the Maroon and Gold. He com- bines speed with a deadly eye for the basket, which makes him a very valuable man. t'Kelly is a line captain. He understands the game from beginning to end. He is willing to cooperate and help all on the team. A fast, clever, shifty basketball player. HANCER Hancer finished his basketball career just as brilliantly as he entered 'four years ago. Hancer's steady invincible backcourt game has been a great factor in Western Union victories. Hans is one of the most outstanding men in athletics ever produced here. He is a real sport, a hard fighter, and a sincere trainer. The position of guard vacated by Hancer after four years of continuous service will be hard to fill next year. VVe hope a second Hancer can be found. A basketball player supreme. PETERSON Pete has rotated around on the team this year, playing all positions equally well. Peterson has been a consistent scorer this year on offensive. Next year will be Peterson's last year and we are expecting Pete to be at his best. Peterson is a big, rangy man with a level basketball head. Not speedy but clever. I i'Let's go next year, 'Pete'! KxMM A small man with a good eye for the basket. This is his first year on the squad. Next year Kimm should be a powerful factor on offense, because of this year's experience and his eye for the basket. Kimm is a clever, shifty man on his feet and also favored with speed. A fast, fieet basket shooter. HAAS Although Haas is small in stature, he made up over and over again by his fight and ability to play teamwork. Haas has not been a heavy scorer this year. Next year we expect to see him develop in basket shooting, which will make him a big gun during the rest of his career at VV. U. C. Never loafing-always-playing hard.
