BW. B..n..iL..11 Richard Smith--A senior and a 4-y-ear letter winner, Dick played both guard and center. He scored 211 points and was a fine defensive player as well. His jumping, ability controlled many tip-offs and rebounds for the team. Dick's scoring and defensive play will be a big loss to the team next year. John Nelson-A senior and a 4-year letter winner, .lohnny played for- ward on defense and guard on' offense. He scored a total of 185 points during the season, was a good defensive player, and a very fine ball han- dler. Though hindered by height, he showed lots .of drive. His aggressive- ness will surely be missed next year. Bob Wise--A junior and a 3-year letterman, Bob lead all scorers with a total of 379 points. He rebounded well off either board and did fine de- fensive work. His scoring power and all around ability will undoubtedly be a great help to the' team next year. Allen Anderson-A junior and a 2-year letter winner, Allen's 101 points helped' a. good deal this season. He took his share of the rebounds and generally did a fine job for his team. Allen proved himself a steady ball player, and he will no doubt be an asset to ,next year's squad. Dean Handsaker-A sophomore and a 2-year letter winner, Dean scored 148 points to rank third in scorin.g. He was a good play maker and a great defensive player. His ball handling was a fine asset and he should prove to be tops next year. Gay Huhn-A first year letterman, Gay as a sophomore, helped the team with his 47 points. With 33 little more experience, he will fit in with next year's team very well. Gay is small but his aggressiveness should make him a valuable, player. Charles Chitty---A junior who won a minor letter this year, Chuck, because of his height, will be a great help under thei back boards next year. He didn't see too much action this season but he, without a doubt, will be an aid to the team his senior year. John McBride-A senior and winner of his first letter in basketball, John substituted at guard. He was good defensively and his height gave him an advantage lon the rebounds. He will be a loss to the team next year. Ray Couser-A sophomore and a minor letter winner, Art has good prospects of becoming a good ball player. His offensive and defensive ability will be a help to the team for two more years. Mike Kendall--Sophomore and minor letter winner. Moving from Chicago, he hasn't had too much previous experience in basketball but he is developing fast and will be a great help in years to come. Gerald Klonglan--Another minor letterman in basketball, Gerald is a freshman. Although hindered by his height, he is developing a good eye for the basket and will work in with the team very well in years to come. Lee Dadisman-Minor letter, freshman. Lee is also handicapped by his height. However, he should prove good material for the team for three more years. 50
