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.
