Ted Joya, capTain oT The Team, proved To be The high scorer Tor The season. His close-in shoTs provided The specTaTors wiTh plenTy oT Thrills, and gave The opposiTion many uneasy momenTs. Ted also did some very clever work aT inTercepTing passes. Len GranT, The oTher sTarTing Torward, excel- led aT deTense: his skill aT blocking shoTs was invaluable. Don Rommereide, a newcomer To baskeTball, surprised The lvlerchanTville Tans by coming Through and carrying his share oT re- sponsibiliTy by The middle oT The season.
