Basketball VIRGLE SMITHBURG, CAPTAIN. Very Verg was captain and center of this year's team and will be lost by graduation. He was unable to play regular because of sickness, but when it was possible for him to be in the game he was valuable to the team for his close-in shots. His place will be hard to fill next year. HERBERT SMITHBURG Herb Herb played guard and always held down his man as Well as adding to the score in nearly every game. Herb's left hand shooting improved with every game and will be missed next year. GAYLE HEATER Heater Heate1 ' played forward this year and although handicapped by his lack of height he made up for that in his determination. He was always able to make a basket when it was most badly needed. LAWRENCE SAMMoNs Samfmons Sammons played guard and was valuable because of his height. He played a steady guarding game and was good at getting the ball off the bankboard. He is lost by graduation.
