Krcl's. I’clerscii. Mc!linjr , Ghormlcy. GEORGE KREBS Forward “Krebs proved to be a fit running mate for “Snuss.

ALTON PETERSEN Guard and Center “Pete, our immaculate blonde guard. He played a bang-up game when he was in there, and «lid some fine work at center when “Lex was out. “Pete could work with anybody or in any position, this faculty being of much help to the squad. 11 is graceful form breaks up both opposing offenses and numerous fair damsel's hearts. FRANK HEELINGS Guard “Frankie. our auburn haired guard. As sweet and as active a player as one lias ever seen.

CAPTAIN PAUL NORDSTROM Forward “Snuss' our eagle-eved captain, proved to all of us that he is the best player who ever donned the Orange and Black on the basket ball floor. Without a doubt, he was the class of tin conference forwards. It has been said that our captain stayed up all one night trying to miss a basket. LUTHER KISTLER Guard “Luker was this year's find at guard. He used to play at the forward post, hut this year he was shifted to guard and to say the least, he did some wonderful work. He's from Bunker Hill. Kan., but from the number of points he scored he didn't always wait until he saw the whites of their eyes before he took a shot. ALBERT MILLER Guard “Bert was the other half of the defense, and Boy! did he smear them? He didn't make any all-state team, but he surely deserved it. He was in on every play and defended the Midland fortress in many a tough skirmish. A little poem that could he dedicated to Miller goes something like this—“He spoils the shots, where'er he squats. ALEXIS JOHNSON Center “Lex,” our tip off man. who got them from any center in the state. He had a good eye for the basket, too—being fifth high in the conference. “Lex is a shoe peddler in the day time, and then journeys out to the gym to play a little drop eye in the evenings. It has been heard on the campus that he will be of quite some aid to bis mother when he reaches maturity. Page ineiy-seven

Brink. Koolcn EUGENE BRINK Guard “Gene wasn’t l i«r or tall as some of them but lie had that happy faculty of always appearing on the scene and being in the way just about the time the oppos- ing forward had visions of bis name in the scoring column. He is a lighter and plays the game for all there is in it all the time. If only he wasn't so crazy about the women. HANS KOOLEN Forward “Hansy was the same dependable man in basket ball that he was in football. Worked well at any of tin positions on tin’ team, but he played forward most of the time.
