They held their place by defeating the Northerners in a somewhat one-sided game, 45-23.
With the graduation of the famous "Stretch" Vander Meulen and Don Hinckley came the supposition that Carroll was all through with bas¬ ketball until two more stars should shine on the horizon.

Nevertheless, though it was a long way to the pin¬ nacle which they had reached and held their records and the position which the team held when captained by Vander Meulen, the 1933 squad made a flying start and finished first in the conference again. Only one loss marred the perfect record for Big Four games, the Lawrence team being the .winner in that case.
John Breen, elongated center and the weight of the outfit, came through with the conference record in individual scoring, showing himself not to be slow in that field. He perfected a play which made it possible for him to get the ball down to the basket with very Httle trouble. His speed on the floor was remarkable for one of his size.

It seemed that just when Carroll most needed two points Johnny never failed to garner a basket or two from most any part of the floor. His close guarding was responsible for the low scores of his opponents.
Although Captain Clarkson was on the sick list at the close of his college basketball career, he was deemed the spark plug of the Pioneer aggregation, and his heady leadership gave Carroll the confi¬ dence which is so necessary for successful basketball,
