1 4 1' isa'-Qiezifgzimiagziaiasehg Qmn Qfzgaaaq aggaiaffaw Qllliliiif ROBERTS-Forward Keene', is right. A good floor man and a wizard on baskets. As a running mate for W'heeler he couldn't be beaten. His experience in the Academy and on the College second team the year previous was advantageous to him. He is only a Fresh- man and we are looking forward to some good things from him during the next year. MOENCH-Guard Eddie, our big guard, came into our midst in the middle of the season. He at once obtained a position on the team and held it down very creditably. He had a clever method of handling the ball with one hand and his passes were hard and accu- rate. After seeing him play, a question often arose as to the necessity of his having two arms. He guarded his man close and could be counted on for a long ringer in each game. Torreyson-Forward Tony covered lots of Hoor and seemed to be tireless. This was due to the wonderful endurance which he has worked up in his distance running. He could be counted on to drop in a ringer occasionally and was good on free throws. Having made his letter in basket ball, he is now a three stripe man--basket ball, track and foot ball. Hartman and Ferris were the other men who made up the squad of ten. Al- though they broke into the game several times they did not play enough to make their letter. Their experience will be of benefit to them and they will make strong bids for positions next year. I. Obenshain, Moore, Graham, Coneland, Fitch, VVl1ite, and Bell were others who were out regularly and helped greatly to mould our team into shape. From this group a peppy team could be chosen which often held the firsts to a very close score. 4 546 2577'QifZiii?L1?iX Z I A Eighty-one

He was a con- sistent player and was always ready for the ball, leaving little opportunity for the opponent to get it. A man who has played four such successful years of basket ball as Virgil has, is to be congratulated, and we regret to lose him next year. CAPTAIN-ELECT SNEDAKER-Forward Clem, our last year's utility man, was a valuable asset to the team this year. He could take any position on the floor and play it well. His Hoor work was consis- tent and he could be relied upon for several baskets during a game. He was unani- mously chosen captain for next year. VVHE E LE R-Forward Wlieeler, the Abingdon High School star, proved to be a star for us this season. He was the fastest man we had and a sure basket shotf, At the State Tournament he certainly did himself credit as well as the team and our school. His percentage of free throws was as large as any player in the tournament. Roland has three more years to play and will be with us again next year. CLAUDE FAIRCHILD-Center Claude is a tall fellow and just our man for center. Getting the ball out of center is a great advantage and he was the man who could do it. He was valuable in our defense formation, for, owing to his size, it was almost impossible to put a ball through his position. Claude played the best game of his career at Macomb where he was high point man. CLAIRE FAIRCHILD-Guard A Hne guard with a future that points toward success! No doubt he will hold down a guard position next year. He played a hard, clean game and had a habit of worrying his forward. Along with his close guarding he passed the ball well and often made baskets from difficult angles. Q 1172 it Z A'-?:f-iff Ii gi ! .d tfmiifig-l, 1527535-Eff: Sb F 1'-4Mf f Eighty
