Dick Lund, who, last season played forward, was shifted back to guard, where he represented L. D. S. in a creditable manner. At this post he formed a stonewall defense for opposing forwards and also came through to convert some beautiful long shots. Stan Smith and Lynn Brady alternated at forward position during the season. Although inexperienced they held down their posts with the skill of veterans. They should be a pair of exceptional forwards next season. Knight, the eighth member of the squad, was a dependable guard and did some excellent playing whenever called upon. The 1929 season was a very good one for the Saint hoopsters. They won most of their practice games and tasted defeat only twice in their ten later games. llll.
