Chuck Nemeth, TO transfer to Michi-

In the side OF the Hurons In the
football game OF 1871 as he raced TO
three touchdowns while sparkling
and pacing his team to victory!
Normal has a potential starting
pair OF ends for next season who
would top in height any other pair
in America In Bill Hughes and Bob
Geddes, both OF whom top the SIX

dream and passer's prayer! Incl

Returning to the Central Collegi-
ate Conference Championships Il
is interesting to note that several
meet and field house records are
held by Normal men. In the rs
yard high hurdles both the meet
and field house records are held
by the former Huron captain and
one OF the top timber toppers or
all time, Charles Whitley" Had,
and "Whitey's" field house mark
of seconds flat is still a world
mark. Again in the low hurdles the
sensational Hlad's mark of S.3
seconds is not only both a meet
and field house record but remains
unexcelled and unsurpassed in the
field of trackmen. The record Tor
the $50 yard run is one minute and

Rosenkrantz of Michigan State
Normal College in 1886 and has
withstood all assaults to date.
Two of Normals finest forwards
in cage history were honored by
their teammates for their outstand-
ing cour performances when fleet
Ed Gilday OF Monroe was chosen
as captain for the season just con-
cluded and playstarter Chuck Sam
pier was selected as captain for
next year.
Several marks were broken In
the past season as Howard Messen-
ger and Ed Gilday both broke Gil
days old record of 1853 points as
Messenger hit the nets for a new
all time Huron individual achieve
ment of 266 tallies and Gilday
poured 249 markers through the
hoops. Howard. a brilliant back
board and rebound specialist aver

came through with IL point

heights against st. Mary's OF
Orchard Lake when he set the nets
on fire with II field goals and nine
free throws for a grand total and
new all-time mark Of 81 points!
New York, Mar. 16-AP-May-
be you thought basketball players
were going around In circles all
the time-and you wouldn't be far
wrong on such dizzy doings as
that Rhode Island.Bowling Green
tournament game the other night.
But when the rule-makers gather
this year, they'll entertain a new
proposal involving circles. Blk Six
conference teams. under the gui-
dance OF Missouris George Ed
wards. have been experimenting
with having three circles on the
court and when there's held ball,
calling for the Jump in the nearest
