His leadership, willingness to carry out an assignment, and his ability under the boards made him a very valuable team man. BOB ARCHER - Junior, 5' 8 1!2 138 lbs. Bob was the workhorse of the Powers . In playing his second year of varsity ball he led the team in scoring with 276 points in 21 games,won the free throw trophy with a percentage of 59.1, and also led the team in interceptions and assists. Bob's lack of size is made up for by his speed, fight, team play, and jumping ability. Bob was the only member of the team who started every game. JIM DYER - Sophomore, 5' 8 1!2 142 lbs. Jim played the first half of the season on the B team but his scoring ability and scrap won him a promotion to the varsity where he started the last eight scheduled games.

Edgar's ability to play any position made him one of the most valuable players on the team. He was not only one of our leading rebounders but was probably the best scrapper on the team, and always dependable on defense. REX KIRCHOFF - Junior, 5' 7 1!2 117 lbs. Rex was generally always the smallest player onthe floor. He has one of the best left hand set shots around, and in one game hit six out of seven from out on the floor. He makes up for his shortness by out-thinking the other fellow and staying about one move ahead ofthe opposition all the time. Passed the century mark in scoring. MARVIN KNIGHT - Sophomore, 6' 153 lbs. In playing his second year of varsity ball Marvin was our outstanding rebounder and tip-in art- ist. Although not exceptionally tall for a pivot man, and generally playing against a man taller than himself he still managed to get over two-hundred rebounds for the season.
