"But you never know what will happen," added the cautious cbach.

"There are too many intangibles to consider. "We lost five regulars from last year's team. I think we can replace them."

TWO radios in NE Some spirited and close balloting took place before th; Big Nine all-conference basketball teams was determined this year.

The first team represents a formidable array of talent with an aggregate 19 point per game scoring average. The team includes Dick Schmidt, Three Oaks and Jerry Mitchell, Eau Claire at forwards; Gene Johnson, New Troy, at center, and Bob Decker, Galien and Dean Boyd, New Troy at guards. Decker and Schmidt are repeaters from 1954. Boyd is the only junior on the first team. Schmidt and Johnson are the only members who drew the maximum total of 70 points computed on a seven points for first and three ior second Jeam basis, The selection board consisted of the Big Nine coaches.

Coaches were banned from bal loting for their own players. Named to the second team were Jewell Steverson, Eau Claire," and Joe i Stevensville at forwards; Pete Origel, Three Oaks at Center; and Don Kuball, Stevensville and Loren Berndt, Bridgman at guards. Decker, the shooter on the Galien team, which didn't have an impressive record, was the Big Nine's leading scorer with 371 points and was known for his aggressive defensive play. Dick Schmidt closed an illustrious three year basketball career which has seen the Oakers take both Big Nine crowns with a two year record of 37 wins against only four defeats. He wound up seven points behind runnerup Johnson in the loop's scoring race with 312 points giving the first five 300 point men.

Jerry Mitchell, Eau Claire's track, football, baseball, and cage luminary was responsible, along with Stever son, lor the rise in the Beaver fortunes from doormat to contender. Dean Boyd, the only one returning for another season, was undoubtedly the most deadly outcourt and side set marksman in the conference.
