sfsfw The 1 1928 f Osoga mx, '+-YHZQSS, - ,,v, ,,,w, , +- GEORGE MYERLY, CAPTAIN, CENTER Georges inside knowledge of the indoor court game put his team to a greater advantage. Opposing centers never beat him to the tip-off and his un- canny ability at foul shooting garnered the Orange and Blue Five many points. Slim was the greatest center that G. A. has ever boasted about. VV'e expect to hear big things of George in College. HOWARD ARNOLD, FORWARD Chubby was G. portside forward and sure basket ringer from all angles. His speed was a great asset to him and the team for a defense man would soon become weary trying to keep tabs on him. The former Danville duet, Arnold- Nyerley netted us plenty of points. WILLIAM ROSS, FORWARD Aggressive and persistent shooter. Bill also was an important cog to the team's excellent passing game, and he often thrilled the gallery with his leaping shots from under the basket alter receiving a pass. Bill expects to enter Buck- nell in the fall and We are sure he will make good. HARRY REIST, GUARD Dutch came to us from Augusta Military Academy where he gained for him- self an enviable reputation as guard. Harry is a clean-cut, fast-moving defensive ace, who seldo1n allowed the enemy forwards to roam from him. Many spec- tacular long shots clicked for points in the score-book from the dependable hands of Handsome Harry. i riffs'- V QAYAVAW it ' 'l ll l -..sgf 76 Ea..-
