Broncos Battle Ohio U in Frustrating Loss at Madison

Western Michigan clashed with Ohio University in a hard fought game at Madison Square Garden. The Broncos, led by Ray Postema amid personal bereavements, battled back from an early 13 point deficit but were held to 34 percent from the field while Ohio shot poorly at 17 percent. Don Bowen Swift Noble and Don Groggel controlled the boards as Western Michigan pressed for a close finish. Ohio outshot the Broncos 84 to 69 but could not overcome the early deficit. A new Bobcat athletic bus was ordered for the upcoming Cincinnati Oxford trip and C J Dutch Ailstock will pilot it. Jim Snyder plans SEC related events ahead of a calendar filled with regional scholastic meets and a proposed football carnival awaits a committee decision.
