Thomas, Bishop, Bass, Hollatz, Wright. Standing U- t0 F-7-C0301 Shy, McMakin, Means, Hansen, Yeager, Fergu- son, Buford, Whitlock, Pent. This year's team broke even with a 500 per cent average, by winning 3 and losing 3. This team is made up of boys who are not developed enough and lack experience to be on the Varsity. They proved to have a real de- sire to win and a team's spirit and cooperation. foach Shy this year has developed many boys in his squad that will be a real asset to the Little Decons Varsity team in 1951-52 seasons.
