couple of years.
This is the fifth tournament
st. Adams won it the first two
years 1953-54, Northwestern the
last two. And from all reports
the Wildcats are headed fol
their third straight.
1t is quite a record North
western has. They had a victory
string of ID straight midway last
season when Woodbury. Forest
beat them. Undaunted, the Wild
cats started another and now
have IL straight.

a runnerup. But the material is
still there apparently.
He has Dave Kaiser. an end
