'33 Squad Made History Marquette was represented by the finest team in its cage history in '32- '33. Mullen, Gorychka, Morstadt and Zummach supplied the spark for this great quintet. Zummach has been referred to by Coach Chandler as one of the headiest players who ever stepped on a hardwood floor. This team defeated such outstanding fives as Indiana, Chicago, Northwestern, Notre Dame and Wisconsin, the last two named being handed double setbacks. Nebraska, Ohio State and Northwestern were among the victims of the powerful '33-'34 aggregation that compiled the splendid record of 15 wins and four losses. The Badgers felt the sting of two defeats for the second successive year. The '34-'35 cagers closed the books in the black by capturing 11 out of 18 contests, being victorious over (Continued on Page 13) By TONY TAGLIAVIA Ninety-one victories and 54 defeats. That's the impressive record achieved by Marquette cagers since Coach William S. Chandler took over as head basketball coach in 1930. This record is all the more remarkable when you stop to consider the caliber of Hilltop opponents during Coach Chandler's tenure. Pittsburgh, Niagara and Canisius in the East, Nebraska and Kentucky in the South, Brigham Young in the far West, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Purdue, Wisconsin and Northwestern in the Middlewest, are numbered among the teams which have met Marquette in the past. In '30-'31, Coach Chandler's first season at Marquette, the Hilltoppers emerged victorious in 11 out of 18 contests, a campaign headlined by a victory over Wisconsin. The season of '31-'32 saw Marquette finish with 12 and 7, a highly creditable showing in the face of such opposition as Notre Dame, Brigham Young, Michigan State, Purdue, Indiana and Wis- Cagers Seek Revenge Against Cardinal Five Blue and Gold Quintet is Impressive in Win Over Maroon Squad of Chicago; Badgers Are Still Undefeated Announce 22 Emblem Men Siefert, Niemi Elected Honor- ary Co-Captains; Award 38 Frosh Numerals The annual Marquette football ban- queet was held Tuesday night at the Milwaukee Athletic club as varsity and freshman gridders and members of the coaching staff were guests of the Marquette athletic board. Dr. Joseph King, team physician, was toastmaster in the absence of William L. Coffey, chairman of the athletic board, who missed his first Marquette football banquet in 25 years or more. Dr. King introduced the speakers, who were the Rev. Raphael C. McCarthy, S.J., president of the University, the Rev. William J. Grace, S.J., and Coaches Paddy Driscoll, Red Dunn and Tarz Taylor. After the banquet, members of the varsity squad elected Carl Siefert and Ed Niemi honorary co-captains of the 1938 football squad. The vote was unanimous. Twenty-two varsity “M” sweaters were awarded in addition to one manager's sweater. Eight freshman managers and 38 freshman were awarded numerals.

By JOHN DUCAS With revenge as the incentive, Marquette's highly rated quintet is hopeful of defeating the unbeaten Wisconsin Badgers at the Milwaukee auditorium Saturday night. Coach Harold (Bud) Foster is bringing a powerful, underrated aggregation that has stunned the basketball dopesters with victories over the Hilltoppers, 27 to 26, and last year's national champs, Notre Dame, 45 to 39. Last week against Chicago the Blue and Gold vindicated itself by an impressive win over the best combination to come out of the University of Chicago in recent years. Results of a strenuous week of scrimmage after the Wisconsin de- feat became evident as the Hilltop- pers clicked with a smooth working offense and a well knit defense to stave off the Maroon attack. Komenich Steadies Attack At Madison the Cardinals played sensational ball to repel the efforts of Notre Dame's Fighting Irish, due to the individual brilliance of Forwards Andy Smith and Dave Dupee who tallied 16 and 12 points respectively to lead the Badgers to victory. Chandler-coached teams have won eight of the 16 contests against Wis- consin and critics are reluctant to predict the outcome of the ensuing fracas. One thing is certain, how- ever, that the fans will witness a i hard fought battle with breaks de- ciding the margin of victory. Deneen Will Start Leading the Hilltoppers into the battle will be Co-Captains Erv Graf and Dave Quabius. Graf, the left- handed hook shot artist, may offer the invaders no end of trouble if he finds the range from his fast-breaking position. Quabius at guard, who engineers the Marquette passing attack from the back court, has connected with deadly long shots during practice this week. Bob Deneen, junior forward and leading scorer for the Hilltoppers thus far, is the “opportunist” on the Marquette squad. The unassuming, baby-faced sparkplug comes to life and seems to be in the right place at the right time. In the pivot circle, Glenn Adams, three-year veteran, and Ralph Amsden complete the front court array. Sophomore Bill Komenich, giant guard, steadies the passing attack along with Quabius. Bell at Center For Wisconsin, Andy Smith and Dave Dupee, high scoring forwards, are the hub of the Cardinal attack. At center, Foster will probably start By Bell, who missed nine charity tosses in the game two weeks ago. Completing the starting five for the Badgers are Ernie Davis and Johnny Rundell, guards. This is the same team that answered the opening whistle against Marquette at Madison. The setup: The rejuvenated Hilltoppers, as yet an untested power, hope to gain revenge for the earlier setback and prove to local supporters that it was a “fluke;” the unbeaten Badgers intend to keep their slate clean and extend their athletic dominance over Marquette for this year. Both teams will enter the game in top physical condition. The opening whistle is scheduled for 8:15 o'clock. Four Avalanche Foemen On A. P. All-American That Marquette's 1938 football team was up against tip-top opposition all the way is evident from the fact that four members of the Hilltop all-opponent eleven were selected on tne outstanding all-America combination of the year (Associated Press). They are Davey O'Brien, quarterback, and Ki Aldrich, center of Texas Christian; Ed Bock, guard, of Iowa State, and Johnny Pingel, halfback, of Michigan State. Many other Hilltop foemen also have been honored. 100! Cagers Have Goal “Hit the century mark for Coach Bill Chandler!” That is the slogan of the Marquette basketball team which hopes somehow to win nine games in its heavy 1938-39 schedule and thus give Chandler a record of 100 victories since he took over the reins here in the 1930-31 season. In the midst of stiff competition all the way, Chandler's first eight Marquette teams turned in 91 wins, 54 losses.
