BASKETBALL The Homer Basketball squad has the advantage of having five letter men back in the line-up. The team had a little more height than they had the year before. The willingness and ambition of the squad was especially noticeable. Although the squad will mourn the loss of four men that they started the season with, they will have men with experience and speed. The men who will not be with us next year are Linton, Jarosz, Smith, and Dawson. Linton and Dawson supplied most of the points, with Baird and Smith following closely. The Reserves completed an unsuccessful season. Letter winner s are: James Linton, Marion Smith, Joe Jarosz, Louis Baird, Robert Dawson and Stanley Carrick.
