Mentor Len Chattick's Blitz
Kids were easily the class of the
1943 Barb I-M basketball league
as they ran up eight victories
against no defeats for this year's
championship.
To show you the power of the
Blitz Kids, the runnerup clubs,
the Cornhusker Co-op and Stri
bonia fives, could only garner five
wins out of eight contests.
John Schlesiger, frosh basket
balelr, and Dan Bristol were the
shining lights in the Blitz Kids
drive toward the title. Schlesiger
could always be counted upon for
his scoring ability while Bristol
used his 6-4 frame to an advan
tage under both baskets.
Tom Brogan of the I-M office
put himself on the spot yesterday
by coming forth with his all-barb
squad. At the forwards, Tom
placed Harold Brietzke of the S
St. five and Warren of the
ACBC's. Dan Bristol was chosen

Atention continued to be
