Strictly a defensive star in high

threat in collegiate basketball this
winter by scoring $50 points to top
the Michigan Normal team and
establish Huron record for one

held by Burman Misenar. Sam
pier equaled the record in the third
last game OF the season and set
one OF his own in the following
contest with ten-point spree
against Alma College.
His total for the season would
probably have been even greater
if the 21-year-old forward had not
been forced TO miss a game at Ka-
