Cijr CAPTAIN BAILEY, Forward The end of last season marked the close of a career of one of the Wasp’s foremost cagemen. Barred from the court his first year by a crippled knee, he made up for the time lost by hard practice the following season. Last year he was running mate to Capt. Hutcherson and was one of the mainstays of the team. His speed, his eternal fighting spirit, together with a lot of hard work won for him the leading position on the team during the season just past. With the graduation of Bailey marks the passing of a great player and his services will be missed by more than the team alone. WINGO, Manager Although not able to complete a schedule on account of his inability to remain in school, the work he accom- plished as manager was of a very commendable type. GRAHAM, Guard Lee County has long been famous as the home of the Grahams or better known as “Jonahs.” This particular one came to Emory three years ago and followed his brothers’ footsteps on the basket-ball court. During his freshman year he was the life of th r Junior Varsity. The next year saw him in a regular Varsity position among several stars. Last season his services had much to do with the success of the team. A brilliant dribbler, fast as a streak, a good goal tosscr, may be said to characterize his playing at all times. With his wealth of experience he should prove the mainstay of next season’s team. 103

Cljr uf|«n. STOWERS, Guard Aubrey lias always been a steady guard and bis floor work is of the best order. His playing was not of the spectacular or brilliant variety, but of the steady kind that ranked him among the best standing guards in this section? His work at netting the sphere from long dis- tances was of great value to the team. Having a physique that reminds us of the strength of Gibraltar, he seems just made for basket-ball. BABCOCK, Center Hugh received his preliminary hints in the court art all the way from Hagerstown, Md„ to Williamson, W. Va. He plays with the case of a veteran and his performance is always consistent. His lack of height sufficient to control the tip-olF on all occasions was more than offset by bis clever passing and floor work. He is one of the Sophomores in whom the Wasp’s hopes arc bound up for the next two years. DINKINS, Forward From a line consisting of several basket-ball players of no inconsiderable ability, Dinkins was chosen as the running mate to Captain Bailey. Before this lie was recognized as one of the main cogs in the Freshman machine. At all times he put forth his best efforts and held up his end to the satisfaction of his team-mates and student body at large. This is his first year on the team and bis services will be of real worth in the ncxi three years. 104
