He could always be depended upon when the team needed him most. Delbert will be back again next year and should be one of the mainstays of the team. CARLOS JONES, Guard Carlos, who was captain of the football team, had the same grim determination to win in basket- ball as he did in football.

Simpson, outfielder, and Clarence Ivie, third baseman. How- ever, under the capable guidance of Mr. Durrett and with the wealth of raw material that he has on hand, the Leopards are expected to deal the top notchers plenty of trouble this year and to develop into real champions in the future, Mr. Durrett is regarded as one of the best baseball coaches in the city and he is Working all the time to better his baseball club. This can be seen by watching the Leopards improve from game to gameg a player never makes the same mis- take twice. Page One Hundred Thirty-one ? way 'li 5.
