' ' First Row: Fuller, E., Hitzig, W., Baker, fCapt.1, Hartzell, J., Coburn. Second Row: Talbot J Straus, Talbot, P. In the past Milton has had usually one outstanding player and four starters who relied on that individual to supply the scoring punch. This year's team was different, there was no star, yet each player was capable of running wild if given the opportunity, thus giving the opposition the problem of guarding each man, not merely stopping one individual and stopping the whole attack. Individually, the team ran as follows: Captain Todd Baker, who has started at center for three years, being only 6' W tall, astounded audiences by outrebounding, and often outscoring some opponents as many as nine inches taller. His best game was against St. Paul's, where he led both teams in both categories with fourteen points and nineteen rebounds. Eric Fuller at last came into his own this year. Probably the best defensive player on the squad, Eric turned scorer against Nobles when his three fieldgoals in the space of two minutes put the game on ice. David Straus cannot be lauded enough for his constant determination to improve, his continual hustle, and his intense interest throughout the season. Captain-elect Bill Hitzig was invaluable both as a rebounder and a scorer, and teamed with Captain Baker to form a rebounding combina- tion few teams were able to beat. His best game was against St. Marks, where he scored fifteen points, unfortunately for a losing cause, however, his thirteen points and twelve rebounds against Browne and Nichols were what won the very low-scoring game for Milton. High scorer jim Armstrong was the floor general of the team. Operating with Peter Talbot out front, jim engineered Milton's fast-breaking offense to perfection, impressing everyone with his pin- point passing, set shooting, and his uncanny ability to score. If this year is any indication of things to come, jim could conceivably break the school scoring record next season. Laurie Coburn played the role of the sixth starter. Substituting for the sidelined Pete Talbot in three games, Laurie hit double figures each time and consistently played an excellent defensive game, showing fine promise of what he can do when given the opportunity. Peter Talbot, potentially the finest shooter on the team, could easily be one of the best scorers in school history if he learns to control himself. Pete's 20 points against Thayer was an individual high and helped Milton win one of its best games of the year. Newcomer Bip Hartzell gave Milton what it has long needed - a big man with a good corner shot. If Bip can gain the needed self-confidence, he should be a great help to the team, not only under the boards, but as an outside shooter as well. With a 9-6 record, the first winning season in seven years, a tradition has been started at Mil- ton, and with five returning lettermen, Captain-elect Hitzig and Coach Leo Tyrrell can look for- ward to another successful year.
