..."I enjoyed playing on the State Championship Basketball Team of 1917 which won eleven of twelve conference games. We lost a close game of 33 to 29 to the Kansas Aggies who were the Missouri Valley Champions in 1917.  On our team Captain Harold Cutler was All State Forward, Guy Cross was All State Center, and Karl Kaiser was All State Guard."

Harry Van Petten in 1970

     Normal athletic stock has been steadily on the rise since Coach Hargiss came, three years ago, and there are no indications of a slump ahead.
     Coach always keeps the coffers full of raw material, from which comes the polished machines that appear on field and court; machines that have been coached to win if they can—if not, lose like true sportsmen.
