of the 1969 baseball season as
the Generals prepare to meet
Rex Putnam in a double-header.
The following day the G-Men
host their first home games in a
double-header against McNary.
According to Coach Roy Har-
ringtonj. there will be about
40-45 boys turning out for the
team. Most of the boys have al
ready turned out but there are
still seven retcrning lettermen
out for basketball. These boys
will not turn out until after
spring vacation.
There will be 16 returning let
termen coming back from last
year’s city championship team
and, according to Mr. Harring
ton, the team should be strong.
Mr. Harrington feels that the
PIL League is the toughest
league in the state and among
these Madison Jefferson, Cleve
land, Franklin and Benson
should be the toughest teams for
the Generals.

the G-Men were hampered by
fouls and gave the Wilson squad
nearly one-half of their points
from these mistakes. Since that
game the Generals have im
proved on their defense greatly
and should not give up as many
points from fouls. Ron Sluyter
and Tim Winde are Wilson’s top
players and were the downfall
of the Generals in their last out
ing.
The Generals were the
first to hit the score
board last Friday but were
matched quickly by the
Madison team. The battle
traveled back and forth dur
ing the first period but as
the first period ended the
Senators held a two-point
edge.
The second period matched
the first, with the Generals gain
ing a small lead only to lose it.
As the second quarter ended the
Generals picked up the two-
point deficit and the half-time
score was knotted at 29-29.
The third period fared the
same for the Senators as the
first as they picked up three
points on the G-Men and led
51-48. During the third
quarter Madison’s Steve
Kebbe sank 20 of the 22
points the Senators picked
up during the period.
During the fourth quarter the
Generals poured in 14 points
wheile the Senators could only
manage 11 counters. This action
knotted the score and sent the
game into overtime.
The overtime period proved
fatal for the Madison cagers as
the G-Men burst out with six
straight points and a total of 12
for the period to win the game
by eight points.
