to the Middle-West's finest Basketball Tournament. The parade of players that have appeared in the
Big 7 Pre-Season Tournaments is the foundation for a Basketball’s Hall of Fame. Recalling just a few
years play we have the names of: Don Ferguson, Ernie Barrett, Wayne Tucker, Clyde Lovelette, Bill
Stauffer, Bus Whitehead, Gerald Tucker, Whitey Skoog, Norm Stewart, Gary Thompson, Bob McKeon,
Burdette Halderson, Pachin Vicens, Lester Lane and Dallas Dobbs, to mention only a few. In no other
arena in the world is the fine array of cage talent presented as is seen annually in Kansas City’s
Municipal Auditorium. The institutions represented lend stability to a great sport, and their compe-
tition offers athletes of championship calibre—as proven in Olympic’s participation. To the great
mass of local spectators we extend our hearty thanks, and bid them welcome to another outstanding
Tournament.
