anager R. Rohrer, Jim Rotsaert Calvin Kessler Dick Foot:- 1 4 Louis Shears The middle of the 20th century marked another suc- cessful season for coach Bill Finn and his basketeers as they wound up 1950 with a neat 10 wine6 loss record. Leading Oriental scorer this year was Louis Shears as he dropped in 101 field goals and 52 free throws for a tremendous total of 254 points and an average of 16 points per game. Shears will lon be remembered at East for his great shooting and reboun ing. Filling in the guard spots this year were the diminutive two Iims bein Iim Rotsaert and 11111 Stromko. The Iims showed mighty ine shooting and ballhandling this year, and will be missed deeply. Last but not least, we come to Cal Kessler and Lee Molitor, two stellar forwards who, despite a definite height disadvantage were always in there fighting. Without these two boys a successful season would have been much in doubt. We of East sincerely thank coach Finn and the team for an excellent display of teamwork and ability. Without the thrills provided for us on the basketball court it would have been a very dull year. Jim Carlson Manager Louie Gerzi: J im Stromko Lee Molitor Joe Arco
