MORTONIAN, '39 C H S LAWRENCE MARTIN One of the reasons why the Bulldogs got so many balls off the balckiboard is Biggen . A wonderful iioor general and captain who made all-county and sectional guard. FRANK BAXTER Frankie mastered the art of screening for the forwards and taking unorthodox shots. He ranked as all-sectional and county center. ROBERT TOSCHLOG f0ne of the boys who contributed! to the high moral of the ball club with his attitude. Bob specialized in long shooting. VIRGIL RICHARDSON 'Considered as one of the fastest guards in Eastern llndiana basketball circles, Wimpy was the fu-aclklbone of our defense against fast brealkinlgf' offenses. He earned all-county and sectional honors. HOWARD MARTIN Skeeter is noted for his aggressivene-ss and spot shot from the right side of the floor. He made all-county forward position. FRANCIS NICHOLSOIN. Able to play at either forward or guard position very well, Fritz hit his peak at Sectional time and contributed greatly' to the success of the ball club. KENNETH FRAME 'Opposing guards feared Kenny because of his extreme deceptiveness and his ability to hit any place on the left side of the floor. He was honored by' being named on the all-county and sectional selections. EDDIE BELLEW A speed merchant who capably displayed his wares whenever they were needed.

MORTONIAN, '39 C H S ROBERT COX Bob was the boy who brought the Lynn game out of the fire by his splendid work both offensive and defensive. He scored an average of nine points for every full game he played. ROBERT BEESON Bob saw little acti-on this season but we hope he comes through in fine style next year. ELDON CHURCH Lack of experience kept Flash from seeing more action. We look back with pride on his fine work in the Hagerstown game. His defensive ability under' the basket kept many a point from being scored by Hagerstown. DONALD SITTLOH Don has another year with us in which to show his ball handling and dribbling ability.
