BALL -45 Verne Smutz, from Stockport, Iowa, was elected co-captain of the team. He was playing his second year at center and only 18 years of age. He scored 239 points for the season. Don Finney, Eldon. Iowa, and only 17 years old played his second year as an Iowa Wesleyan forward. Don scored 198 points for the season, although he was forced out of four games with an arm injury. He was elected co-captain of the team. Ronald Huston, Olds, Iowa, was the diminutive spark'plug ol the team. He was only 16 years of age but fast, wiry, and clever, which enabled him to produce 177 points. Dale Burket, Mt. Pleasant, a senior, played h i s second year at guard since returning from the Army. He was one of the best passers on the squad. Guy Leighton, Quincy, Mass., a senior, with a medical discharge from the Army, returned to make an important contribution to the teams success as a guard. His uncanny ability with long shots was the deciding factor in a number of games and his clean-cut shots never failed to cut the fighting spirit from the opponents. Charles Fellers. Fremont. Iowa, played his second year on the team and was instrumental on several occasions in speeding up the players by his ability to steal the ball and inject enthusiasm. Merle Houser, 17, from Seymour, was a true competitor and always came through in the pinches. He was perhaps the best rcboundcr on the squad. T. L. Henderson, West Burlington, 17. made a valuable contribution as a forward. Although he was light in physique he made up for it in fight and persistence. Lloyd Campbell, 17, Benton, Iowa, at the end of the season, was giving the regulars a chase for their positions. He was exceptionally strong with a one hand shot up to 20 feet from the basket. Other men who saw action in the 1944-45 team were Howard McElhin-ncy. Morning Sun, at forward; Jim Gordon, Marshalltown, at center; and Ted Harbour, Rathbun, at forward. Three men played earlier in the season who perhaps would have won letters had they not been called to the armed forces. These men were Richard Van Vranken. guard, from Winfield; Don Stockton, center, from Argyle; and Sharon Moran, forward, from Letts. [41]
