ALAN FROMUTH Alan Fromuth was the most consistent player on the team. He was high point man during the season and in the tournaments, and was given berths on the sectional and regional mythical teams, and on the all-state third team. During the entire season no opposing defense could stop the flashy dribbling. passing and shooting of this super-player. CHARLIE BRUBAKER Charlie Brubaker proved to be the flash of the hardwood last season. He played at forward and was the hardest man on the squad to guard, for he could shoot accurately from almost any imaginable position. Charlie's favorite shot was a close up while crashing through the air. He is captain-elect of the 1924 quintet. neg - af. , 4 A,-gf F' A 5 J ' 'ax ,----.a ..t M ,l .

JAMES YYILLSON James VVillson, as forward and captain of the reserves, proved to be a luminary. Jim received his first chance on the varsity against New Haven, in which game his scoring' was most timely. He also proved his value as a relief player in the tournaments during which he scored a total of seven- teen points. Jimmy is only a sophomore. XNILLIAM THIELE WVilliam Thiele was a truly reliable player. At that time during the season when two regulars were on the sidelines because of injuries, Thiele hlled a guard position and played it like a veteran. He possessed a keen sense of diagnosing plays which marked his work in the games he played. Bill will hold down a regular berth next year. ' -5 .t mx:-L . asf- . -,.,.x - N in: :V 4.
