Loyola News: "War Effort Comes First for Ramblers: Wilson Face Rebuilding Program; Cagers to be Strong"

Description

This Loyola News article discusses the continuing basketball, track, and swimming activities at Loyola during WWII. Lack of "seasoned material" due to students serving in the armed forces was a challenge, as well as remaining students had "extra duty in the classrooms" that took up much of their time, and students expected that more of their players would be drafted by the end of the year. Few nearby schools had enough students for teams, which meant Loyola would have trouble finding teams to play against.
Similarly, only a few members of the track team remained.
