The Doctors were evidently to he outclassed hy the teachers. Some followers said: The Doctors were not clicking or the Teachers were playing over their own heads. Anyway, the Teachers won this year's series, hut look out for the Doctors to even the score next year. After allf who cares which team won this year's series. what we wanted to learn from this series was not which school had the hetter team, hut whether it is again possihle for the two institutions to carry on athletic relations in tl friendly and cooperative manner. THE PLAYERS llntl Myers of the I034 team was a deserving regular for the past season on the Ram squad He easily earned his place asa regular No matter how tough the opposition. Myers can always he depend' ed upon for .i consistent game, a level head and plenty Of points. One of the hest players in the history of K C Q S is the verdict for this year, Bud Cummins, captain of 1934 team. another regular of former years and a mainstay of the 1034 outfit He has had a good reputation as a good player for many years and his score this year places him in the front ranks as a collegiate athlete. Fred Staff. the praneing center. gave a splendid account of himself in every contest. He always entered the game with a dash and kept it up until he had toppled the sphere through the hoop for ahout as many or more points as the hest players on any team Boh Neth is another senior who has completed his K. C. O. S, hasltethall record. And this record was a good one Neth came to K. C. O S after serving several years as a champion on high school teams and the Rams will miss his shooting. K 102 ll
