PAUL KNAUER Elbie was one of the mainstays of the varsity team for four years. His shots from the middle of the floor often proved exciting, bringing the crowd to their feet! Paul was missed by the team the latter part of this season when he was forced to drop out due to a knee injury. Next year's team will greatly miss Pauls services. JOSEPH PUSATERI Joe was called by his teammates the work-horse , because of his untiring effort. For this reason other teams constantly kept an eye on him, trying to out' guess his moves. Having played two years of varsity basketball, joe will be one of the missing links in next year's team. ROBERT RAKERS Hobe, one of the robust members of the squad, was always an asset to the team. His onefhand shots from the corner and also his accurate foul shooting made 'him an indispensable member of the team. Hobe's enthusiasm will cer' tainfy put a spark into next year's playing. ROBERT PFUND Playing his second season on the varsity, Scorp was ideal in both defensive and offensive work. His swiftness on the court, which was a decided help to his own team, often baffled his opponents. Bob's teamfwork and unceasing en' deavor definitely played a vital part in the season's outcome. FRANK BINDER Although Frank was not very tall compared to the other members of the squad, he was one of the stalwarts of the team. Always getting the ball off the banking board, he did his best throughout the whole season. Frank has had only one year of varsity basketball, but in that time he has shown promising results. JACK AUFMAN Jack, the smallest player on the team, displayed flashy tactics which bewildered his opponents. His shot from the middle of the floor that 'beat Etna will be remembered in basketball history. Although Jack was 'a newfcomer of this year's team, he proved his versatility in countless games. BASKETBALL SUBSTITUTES The reserves of the basketball team proved their weight in gold, for they were more than helpful whenever their services were needed. They were a great aid in building up the skill of the Varsity Team, for by practicing with them, thcze boys then displayed some tricky opposition. They were: Otto Hempel, Mitchell Georgalas, Larry Funk, John Kachmar, Robert Kremer, and Robert Riley. HATS OFF TO OUR MANAGERS! Although joe Wellinger and Fred Blosat are only pint size, they helped the football team in a big way. Indispensable in time of need, these little warriors aided the Chieftains on to victory. The wrestling team owes a great deal of its success to their able manager, Bill Kunde. On hand when injuries hampered any member of the team, he administered skillful aid. His loyalty to the team played a vital part in their outcome. Such willing assistance as Bob Funk and Fred Blosat gave to our basketball team is rare indeed! Their ine enthusiasm and cofoperative nature was valued highly by all the members of the team. Pa 3 : Seventy-four
