VARSITY BASKETBALL Don Welever, Bud Marks, Capt. lim Provence, Harold Ley, Earl Valentine, lohn Buck, Bill McKenna, Harold Anderson, Morrie Williams, Bill Miller, Al Rollins, Coach Miller. Coventry's team was small but aggressive this year. Their lack of height was a definite handicap throughout the season, We won ten and lost nine games including two losses to Canton Timken and to Canton St. Iohns. High spots of the year were the one point win over Springfield there, and a one point loss to Ellet here. Both were very good ball clubs. Among other close games were the Stow game, which we lost 22-24, at Stow, and the 38-40 game which Kent State took from us at home. Standouts on the team were Hank Provence, a forward, elected honorary captain and All-Metropolitan forward: and Morrie Williams, another fast, scrappy, diminutive forward. Don Welever at center, Iohn Buck, and either Bill McKenna or Harold Ley at guards, made up the starting lineup. Much credit must be given Bud Marks, Harold Anderson, and Bill Miller for good relief jobs in several games when the Varsity regulars departed for the showers via the personal foul route. It was a fast aggressive ball club that had to depend on clever ball handling and superior basket shooting to win any games, but too often this was not enough to offset the advantage of height which other teams had.
