Champions Roy Mitchell, senior, guard-a letterman last year and an all-league center in football, was a capable re- serve. A smart, dependable player, he could be counted on to enter the game in a tight spot and turn in a competent performance. Mitch,' was another straight Aw student. Bill Quinley forward-a letterman two years ago, Bill was one of the most spectacular players in the league. He played his best ball in the two McPherson games, scoring 18 points in the second encounter. Bill was also mentioned on several all-star quintets because of his bril- liant shooting and passing. ,lack Purdy, senior, for- ward-a letterman last year and a football letterman, Jack was small but was a hard fighter. He did not see a lot of service this season, but gave his best when called up- on, being an excellent ball hustler. Jack also rated as a good student. Jim Surface, senior, guard-a B team graduate and a football letterman, ,lim saw service at both guard and center. He was one of the hardest work- ers on the squad using his height to good advantage. ,lim also was a high-ranking student and a good golfer. Bob Stevenson, junior, forward-the only underclass- man on the first squad, Bob divided his time between the AW and B squads. His accuracy at hitting the basket made him valuable on both 'squads and he should be one of the standouts on next year7s team. The 1937-38 squad was the best cage team Salina High has produced in a decade. They not only took the un- disputed C. K. L. Championship, but also made an excel- lent showing against several strong non-conference foes. Q , N
