1936 Coach Edward D. Duggan is as capable a basketball coach as he is a football coach. Sam Houston is the only high school in the city that lacks proper basket¬ ball facilities, and the boys consequently do not get to practice except during the regular season. Nevertheless, Duggan has always managed to put out teams that have been contenders for the title. This year, with only one letterman re¬ turning, the Tigers were favored to wind up in the cellar, but managed to give a commendable showing. While Duggan was working with the regulars, Assistant Coach Hal Mickelson had the less pleasant task of managing the scrubs. He was well liked by all his players and had little difficulty in securing their cooperation. He did so well with his charges that the B team won practically all of its games. Hal Weidemeyer captained the Bengals for the second year. He displayed the same spirit and playing ability on the court that he did on the gridiron. Although Hal was the shortest man on the team, he was one of the best defensive players in the city and was always assigned the opponent’s highest scorer. Only the fact that he became ineligible at mid-term kept him off the all-city team.

Wallace “Five-Seconds” Ragan, Forward Wally started the season as a “sub” but developed into one of the team’s best sharp¬ shooters. Lawrence “Skello” Schutte Center Despite the fact that he was shorte r than most of the other centers, Lawrence seldom failed to give the Tigers the tipoff. Sterling “Weed” Vermillion, Forward Sterling didn’t take many shots, but when he did, he usually scored. He was a good passer and defensive man. Douglas ‘Machine Gun” Bolster, Guard Doug was tjie team’s lead¬ ing scorer and a. -gohd floor man. He ' was always dangerous under the meshes. Edward “Bunion” Carnes Manager Ed guarded the equipment so closely that when the season was over, there was actually a little of it left—a most unusual fact. Joe “Abba Jabba” Wellborn Guard Joe had less trouble playing good basketball than he did talking. He always came thru he was needed most. 1836
