Ike tickled the twine for 47 points on 19, field goals and nine free throws. He added twelve rebounds and four assists to make this week's work complete. Ike was ineligible for the first portion of the season and now that he's returned to the line-up it has become truly evident how much he was missed. As one of the team leaders and as a returning let terman, Ike combines deter mination and experience to give a stabilizing effect upon the rest of the squad. Coach Roger Sweeting said of Ike: "Ike is a ballplayer who has been through the college basketball experience before. He knows what he can do, but more important than that, he goes out on the floor and does it." As a starter on last year's second place commonwealth squad Ike was third high scorer as he drilled the nets for 324 points. It would not surprise this reporter if Ike surpassed that mark in only half as many games. It is with hustling play of the likes of Ike Burnett that Coach Sweeting looks for as the Cubs pursue the Commonwealth Campus Championship; Page Five
