MISSING: Al Barich, Robin Ray. 76'ERS Although Bob Garza's Philadelphia 76'ers occupied the League cellar with five losses and one win, their record is a poor indication of th teams's caliber. Of the .five losses, the mgrgin of defeat in the four games with the 'two top teams was of three points or less. Forward Bob Garza led the League in scoring with a total of 80 points. Forward and guard Dennis Walsh furnished the 76'ers with versa- tility and the height necessary for rebounding. Th consistency of forward Messoid Attias, the sp ed of the Augustine guards, Bob and Richard, an the back-up of Robin Flay, John Groel, and AllBarich should have spelled victory, However, the difficulty seemed to be the coordination oflall of these ability at the right time. l 76'ers Opponents l A ril 20 29 Warriors 30 A ril 26 29 Lakers 41 4 35 Celtics 38 11 31 Warriors 33 13 51 Lakers 48 15 36 Celtics 62 pre-season practice, forward Bob Garza:

SECOND ROW: Brian Toole, Steve Casper. FIRST BOW: Warren Hastey, Ernie Durazzo, Jorge Horgacitas. MISSING: Bob Bradford, Andy Robin. LAKERS The Leagues strongest team on paper, Warren Hastey's Los Angeles Lakers, failed to materialize until late in the season, losing two of their first three games and ending.the race in third place with a 3-3 record. Although the Lakers lacked experience, with the exception of Varsity veteran Warren Hastey, they had a distinct height advantage, as forwards Ernie Durazzo and Warren Hastey and center Brian Toole posed serious threats on the boards. Late-comer guard Jorge Horgacitas and Warren Hastey tied for third place League scorers with 68 points each. Speed was furnished by guards Bob Bradford and Andy Robin and forward Steve Casper. The deterring factor for the Lakers was a lack of offensive interplay.

SECOND ROW: Ernest Balleste, Carl Haynie, Frank Gehrke, Eddie Chambless. FIRST ROW: Isaac Massry, Brian Kensel, Tom Johnson, Arthur Camacho. WARRIORS Student coach Olaf Hoff's San Francisco Warriors copped second place in the intramural League despite their beginning the season as the dark horse. The scoreboard lighted thanks to forward Frank Gehrke and captain - guard Eddie Cham- bless who was, with a total of 61 points, the League's fifth highest scorer. Defensively, center Carl Haynie and forward Ernest Balleste, delivered the ball to the bread winners. The bench, consisting of Arturo Camacho, James Eatman, Tom Johnson, Brian Kensel, and Isaac, Massry, although inexperienced, provided the necessary depth for a sustained effort.
