Q ' ' J ..s sf 2 all li , ag I f- 0 y 1 T 1 I , I I C T gl :P fl fi 'J 4 ll ,I 'a L CAPT. GARFF Junlor College Basketball HE L. D. S. Junior College basketball squad of 1929 was made up of a group ol clever and shifty hoop aspirants. Although they did not win all of their games, their opponents were forced to display an exceptional type of basketball to defeat the Fighting Saints. Coach Ralph Keeler was at the helm of the Junior College group for the first time, but he showed great ability in directing his proteges throughout the season. On more than one occasion did his hoopsters spring an unexpected surprise when they played other institutions. ' Lorenzo Olson was the only regularback from last season. Although he played guard previously, he was shifted to center, at which post he was an excellent performer. Olson was very accurate at the hoop and was the nucleus of the Gold and Blue offense. Major Garif, who formerly played for the high school quintet, was outstanding on the guard line. He was a dribbler of rare ability and could also be counted on for baskets. Main was absent from the Saint lineup ffor a time and his loss was keenly felt. Phil Robbins was a consistent player at the other guard position. He Was also an agile ball rustler and formed a stone-wall defense against opposing players. Bailey held down one of the forward posts for the Gold and Blue entry in an excellent manner. He was extremely good at passing the ball and converted most of his shots at the hoop. Ray Richards was an uncanny forward who proved very eilicient in helping to work the ball up the floor to the Saints' basket. His basket shooting was of uncommon exactness. When Ray was off form his opponents had some of their troubles lightened. 1 1 D 'A lx l f-.H egg! vu .gl ? u, f S F 4 . A 1 ' ' Q. -Q be -A.,-r...- -4 C .SA -0 -..ggi 1 5
