Outstanding was the work of the Alma substitutes, with excellent work being turned in by Bill Pink, Bucky Walters, Gayle Saxton, Don McKeith, Durrell Emling, and Fred Hartt. Strong praise should go to the entire football squad for their showing this year, for they showed themselves a real team, with every man being an important cog in the machine.

STOOP AND JAKE The brunt of Alma scoring was borne by senior Keith Carey, one ot Alma's greatest centers, and Jack Howe. Carey, voted second best college cager in Michigan for the past two seasons, scored 289 points this year, 107 being scored in MIAA contests. Against Western Michigan, Carey netted 30 points for the season's rec- ord. Howe, leading scorer in the MIAA this year, including 137 points in conference games, led the Scots' scoring with a total of 297 points for the season. Both were unanimously selected for berths on the All-MIAA team. Facing the strongest schedule of opponents in many years of Alma cage history and also facing the problem of revamping its style and line-up because of replacement for three of last year's regulars, the Scots wound up their schedule with the best college basketball record in the state of Michigan, and the best in Alma history. 19 wins and 3 losses make up this truly tine record! Three Scot cagers were unanimous selections for All-MIAA berths: seniors, Keith Carey and Robert Kirby Cboth attaining the distinction for the third straight yearj, and junior, Walter Howe, who was the leading scorer in the MIAA this season. Rounding out the Scots' starting quintet were Rex Holmes and Ed Penner. Holmes' aggressiveness and ability at setting up Scot scoring plays, and Penner's defensive game and accurate out-court shooting made the Scots a dangerous and well-rounded ball club. Keith Carey has been rated by many to be the greatest center in Alma history. Much credit should also be given to other members of the squad, who were: Silvio Fortino, Robert Howe, Gayle Saxton, Durrell Emling, and Jack Heimforth. Although not playing a full season with the Scots, Max Tullis, Roscoe Walker, Bill LaPaugh, and Vernon Walters also merit praise for their work. 53
