The Sparkplugs had an excellent offensive average, scoring almost 42 points per game. They also outplayed all teams on defense, having an average of 35 points, thus making the average margin of victory almost seven points. Perhaps the thing that thrilled the crowd most as they watched] the Sparkplugs spark was their teamwork. It wasn’t a matter of any one individual making the most points—it was a matter of the whole team outscoring their opponents. Very few people, indeed, including most Speedwayites, actually expected the Sparkplugs to score the necessary upsets to win the final victory, but in the words of Coach Nay, “If the fellas had told us that they were going out there and really play as a team, we would have known we could win. But they did something even better than that. They went out and showed us they could play as a team.” We are sure that most of you Speedway fans either saw the game or listened to the thrilling account over the air. So this time, instead of giving you the bare statistics of the games, we should like'to give you some of the little events that really made the tournament what it is. One of the things that everyone likes to. see is for an underdog to win and in every game this was the case as the team came, through to score, three almost unbelievable upsets. Even Speedway’s most ardent rivals had to marvel at the excellent ball the Sparkplugs played in scoring at these contests and they had to marvel at the excellent sportsmanship of both team and fans. Another interesting fact was that Konnie King, high scoring Sparkplug ace, failed only twice at the free throw line with 16 tried for the excellent average of .899. One of these foul shots gave Speedway its forty-second point and the team’s 42-41 decision over Franklin Township. Center Allan Wiechers played three of his most excellent games of the year. Not only was he high scorer, but he used his height to good advantage in controlling the bankboard in all three encounters. Speedway’s Senior combination of forwards, Phil Brumley and Jim Crumley, played some of the smoothest ball of the tournament. Both boys’ offensive and defensive average was outstanding. These boys will certainly be hard to replace in next year’s line-up. Despite the fact that Jack Mayhugh is one of the smallest members of the team, he took rebounds with great consistency against much taller competition. This was especially true in the Ben Davis game. Jack, who can always be counted on for good

team-work, still has another year to play, for which all Speedway fans are happy. Substitute Bill Roberts didn’t have much chance to show off his ability in the first two games, but in the championship game, when the going really got rough, Bill came through with five field goals. Harold Kuykendall, a Freshman —yes, that’s right, we said Freshman—played his first game of varsity ball. Although he only played a few minutes, he was able to snag one field goal and displayed some excellent ball handling. Sophomore Ray Stewart played his first game of the year against Ben Davis. This tall, lanky lad had previously been unable to play because of a broken arm suffered earlier in the season, but everyone was happy to see Ray in the line-up. Junior Jim Vaughn and Senior Bud Chambers served very ably as substitute guard and center. Speedway’s cheering section was one of the largest and loudest of the year. Although Speedway’s opponents were mostly larger schools than Speedway —none was more enthusiastic than the Sparkplugs’ backers. Monday morning, when school took up for the morning classes (school was dismissed the entire afternoon), many students were so hoarse they could hardly speak,

but all were still so happy it didn’t bother them in the least. As is so often the case, the losing fans’ eyes are often filled with tears, but Saturday night, the eyes of many Speedway fans, both boys and girls, were more than dampened—the complete joy of victory was just too much.
