Page Fifty-one : == Basketball Team CAPTALX DONALD KP:KFER ' ' Joe was tlir (iiily Senior that has played four yi ' ars for Butlei ' llifili. and we surely hidieve tlia1 he deserves yreat honor ff)r liis woi ' k. We have to hand it to him foi ' iiis tiuhtini; spirit and the sjx rtsnianship In ' has carrietl with it. Althouiih Joe had tou h luek in 1hi ' toiii ' ncy, we have to say that lie ]n-oved to be a real guard just the same. JA] rES ALAVOOD Jim was also a liard-tiyhter and he, too, pi ' oved his worth at the i uard position. Jim was a shark on loni; ' shots and often broke for one uruhn ' the basket, lie surely matle it uneonifortable for the opposition. ELMER BEEBE Tutiijle was small, but v made up foi- il in points. He was a vei ' y o-ood all around and ma(h ' it hard foi- op])oni-nts to keep traid of liim. lObiier ' s favorit ' ])osition was forwai ' d and v surely drserves it. LLOYD ASH When it came to the place where hard fiiiht was what counted to win the game, Scully was I ' ijiht there with the iO ' l - He was an excellent fiuard and also a veiy good shot. Ijloyd deserves mmdi credit. BUREX IL.M Although ' ' Uly was not the largest man on the team he managed to get the ti2D-off more than his share of the time. He scored most of his points on long shots. Although he had tougli luck on srme passes he tried liard and so v will ovt ' rlook it. ])AVID BLAKER Dave was our star forward. Althoirgh he was small he made up for it in sjiced and i-eal light. He was high point man on tlu ' tram. He will also be back again next year to help light the many battles of the team. DEAN WEK ' HT Wick was the man who came out with the ball when it was needed. He stayed at home when the picture was taken and so he was left out. He sank the leather quite frequently, lie will be back again next year. Page Fifty-two WALTER SMITH Smitty was also one of the fellows who deserves much credit as a basket maker. He was a very good guard and he gave the opponents a lot of real competition. He too has signed up again for next year. LKO TYSON Ty is a perfect example of his brother wlicn it conies to the test of fighting spirit backed with a broad smile. He was always on the go, and did much good work in getting the ball. Leo graduated this year, and we wish him future success. V. ]!RK. l ooMIS ' Stuli is riglit there when it ciuucs to going ilown the side o ' the thior for another haskct.

Among thiisr wh(] deserve lionnralih ' mention ai ' e: l- ' loyd IJenyhill, Ray- mond Bevington, and Joseph Cather, who slioidd give the regulars a run for a position on the next year ' s team.
