THUJAN TWELVE UIJNSTRU ROBERT BELSCHNER, a senior vet- eran, played center with the Trojans for his third year. Bob put his long frame to good use, dumping in many pivot and rebound shots. His height and floor play will make his loss very noticeable in next year's squad. HAROLD RICHARDSON, senior back guard, was the mainstay of the Trojans' defense during his sec- ond varsity season. Richy's long set shots usually accounted for a great percentage of the Trojans' scores. He will also be very hard to replace. ERNEST BAll.EY, scrappy little senior, was Rich's understudy this year. He made up for his lack of height and experience by his clever ball handling and his fighting spirit. Although not a regular performer, Ernie gave a good account of him- self whenever given a chance. VVENDELL PUSSELMAN, junior, was the Red and Gray's most dependable and consistent member. His foul shooting, underbasket shots and general pivot play enabled him to hang up a very enviable scoring record. l:'uzz's three years' experience will contribute greatly to the success of the l94O Trojans. VERNON FOULKS, ambidextrous junior, held down one of the forward posts. Being very sure on short set shots and extremely able on left handers, Vernie was able to get his share of scoring honors. ARTHUR SHEETS, lanky, hand- some junior, alternated with Belschner and Fusselman at the center and forward positions. Art shows great scoring possibilities, and much of the success the l94O squad will enjoy depends on him. UT PUWEHFUL SPURTALITIES MELVIN SHEETS, a fighty junior has developed fast this last year. Mel is dangerous from any spot on the court and can control a ball well. His aggressiveness and scor- ing power will make him very valuable to succeeding Trojan fives. NELSON MILLHOUSE, diminutive junior, can hit consistently if given a fair chance. Although a little in- experienced, Nel will be of great help when it comes to winning vic- tories next year. FRED LINK, powerful sophomore, has played two years on the varsity. His great showing at the County Tourney won him honorable men- tion. Fred is unusually fast and very accurate and he can be counted on to dump in timely baskets. ROBERT CAPIN, tiny sophomore, played all year on the reserves where his ability and offensive power asserted themselves. Bobby is fast: and despite his lack of height, if he continues at his present clip, he will add greatly to the power of future Trojan varsities. IAMES ROWAN, a curly-headed senior, was responsible for the Trojans' equipment. lim's efficiency and cheerfulness made him a very popular student manager. COACH WAVELAND SNIDER has just completed his first season as mentor for the Fighting Trojans, and has already established himself as a regular fellow in the hearts of the Trojan fans. His unceasing efforts and encouragement have been greatly responsible for whatever success the Red and Gray have en- joyed. Elmhurst may be thankful that they have such a head for their returning heroes next year.
