BASKETBALL A winter with a lot of thrilling games was provided by our varsity basketball team who through much practice and hard work earned a record of nine wins and eleven loses. The warriors started off their conference basketball season on a victorious note as they downed Glenwood 74-44, with all- conference Dan McCarrell scoring 24 points. Having lost three non-league games, the team then traveled to Delafield, Wisconsin, to face St. John's Military Academy. Wheaton got off to a slow start but came up to trail by 2 points at the half. McCarrell's 22 points helped them pull away to a 64-5'l victory. The following Tuesday North Shore played host to our Warriors and handed them their first con- ference defeat 74-57. After Christmas vaca- tion Walther Lutheran, newest member of the PSL, became an easy victim, 62-32. The next night in the College Alumni Gym we handed Lake Forest a 50-38 loss. Bob Van Kampen sparked these two wins with good defensive play while collecting 30 points. Next the Warriors had three nights of hard luck. The Luther South conference battle was lost in the first quarter as the Braves outscored Wheaton 17-4. The rest of the contest saw very even scoring but the Warriors failed to make up their early deficit, losing by 13 points. Playing their best game of the season, McCarrell and Kraft brought the Warriors to within six baskets of upsetting the powerful Colonels from Francis Parker. Christian then set the Warriors back with a 7'l-45 shellacking as Wheaton failed to score a basket in the third quarter. The following night in the Academy gym, an inexperienced and small Timothy Christian team lost 68-47, with Wheaton getting their fifth win of the season.

Facing North Park the next Friday, we fell to their tremendous scoring punch 70-41, with the two Johnsons, Lael and Ralph scoring over 45 points for the Vikings. North Shore's Raiders, who went on to win the champion- ship, took the floor against Wheaton. Our Warriors, who had lost earlier to the Winnetka team, got sweet re- venge as they left the court with a sparkling 18 point victory. Kraft led the way with 21 points followed by McCarrell with 15. University High playing its usual stall offense was beat at their own game 44-27, as the Warriors held the ball for as much as four minutes. Wheaton then fell upset victim to the hustling Luther North team losing by four points. Immac- ulate Conception followed getting their second win of the season over the Academy, 61-48. Smith lets fly with a iump shot against Timothy Christian.
