LELAND VVINANS, RIGHT GUARD To Captain Leland XVinans goes much of the credit for a successful season, because of the very etlicient way in which he directed the actual play of the team on the court. Bill has always been courteous, clean and four-square in all his athletic activities, therefore the Red and Blue takes pride in presenting their versa tile leader. HA YMOND PIERCE, CENTER Ray was shifted from forward to center at the beginning of the season and the shift certainly was to the advantage of the quintet. ltay's speed and team play were his outstanding characteristics. To Pierce goes the welI-de- served credit of being the spark that set the machine in motion at high speed. Ill 1 9 2 8 Ill

E 2 . amen. JAY SCHROEDER, RIGHT FORVVARD Jay was there once more with his old time pep and enthusiasm and his keen and natural ability as a basketball player certainly was all to the benefit of the Red and Blue. To Jay goes the well-earned title of the Mspeed merchant of the court. RAYMOND RIP DILGER, LEFT FORXVARD To read the account of the activities of this young man one would think they were reading of one of Horatio Alger's characters in From Obscurity to Fame. From the Junior Varsity squad to the position of leading scorer and eagle-eye of the squad marks the account of his phenomenal rise in court activity. Due to his eel-like agility he squirmed into the position of the Red and Blue eagle-eye. RALPH OOPYU VANDERVORT, GUARD, FORVVARD One of the most valuable men on the squad was Oopy, for he could be used in any position on the team and fill the bill very efficiently. His floor- play was always commendable and when he started on a scoring rampage it generally meant disaster for the opposing team, for it was just like giving the limited a clear track. To 0opy goes the title of the iron man of the squad for no assignment was too big for him, MERLIN TURK WVOOD, LEFT GUARD Turk ascended from the J. V.'s to fill the left guard berth. His work was always hard, persevering and consistent, and he deserves much credit for the way and manner he played the stationary guard post. M, H. S. presents the one and only original Cannon Ball. PAUL MONG DILGER, GUARD WVe are glad to commend the work of Paul for he is one of our most prom- ising candidates for athletic honors in coming seasons. Keep up the good work Paul. JOHN HSHEIK' RAY, MANAGER, CENTER To Sheik our efficient manager, we must always give credit for the part he has played in directing the business affairs of the team. John's cheerful nature and willingness to learn has helped us all. VVe will be glad to have your efficient service next season, Sheik. CLYDE ROSIE ROSENCRANS, ASSISTANT IXIANAGER To Clyde the guardian ot' the team's shekels we all give credit and com- mendation for the efficient way he has handled this much varied job, and one of the hardest to fulfill well. Good work, Clyde. ELMORE NEVVT PURDUE, CENTER Newt proved to be one of the finds of the season. With practically no experience he stepped up and assumed an important role in many contests. Newt's work has been characterized by his pass-work and clean play. XVe expect much of you in the years to come, Newt. ORVILLE GEORGE SPICE, GUARD George was there when a good substitute was needed, as was proven by his splendid work in the VVayne-Pike tournament. A forward originally, but now re-vamped to a guard, and certainly one of the best in Pike County soho- lastic circles. Georges services will certainly prove valuable in the season to come. I- 1 In In
