E never fail to put out a basket ball team that is a credit to a school our
size and this year has been no exception to the rule. Russell Burns, a
former Culver boy and later a member of Purdue's varsity squad, was
secured as coach. He has proven himself to be a coach of the first rank
and the school is proud of his work. The team has made an excellent
record this year, having won 23 out of 28 games. Winning the County
Championship in a walk and loosing the District Championship to the fast Atwood
five in the final tourney game by a scant 3 point margin.
Starting with only one player of last year's five Coach Burns developed the best
aggregation we have had in years. Much credit is due him for the showing made
and the school appreciates the time and effort he has put into his work.
Overmyer, the only experienced player on the squad, and captain of the team,
has been the backbone of the Culver ogensive play. He is fast on his feet for a
heavy man and his accurate basket shooting at long range has won several closely
contested games.
Sautter, a former Culver boy who played with Plymouth last year, returned to
his home school last fall and since the Christmas vacation has been the high point
man for the maroon and white. His accurate foul throwing and heady floor work
has made him one of Culver's most valuable men. He was selected on the alldistrict
team.
Wade was the find of the season. Starting the play by jumping at center and then
dropping to back guard he has developed into one of the best guards in the country.
His guarding at the district meet was the talk of the entire crowd and won him
a place on the all-district team. He should be a wonder next year.
Mikesell and Crump have alternated at the other guard position all season with
the result that both of them have developed into excellent players and should be
in fine shape for next year.
Speyer, Whitted anl Bartlett have filled the forward position opposite Sautter
and as all of them have another year in school they should handle the scoring end of
the team in good shape.
