li'-' fl p r:-.::'1 I-J l'l'1e 1952 Magician Boys' Basketball MT. IEWETT at RIDGWAY Ridgway gave Iewett the worst beating of the season in the last league game, 61-21. MT. IEWETT at ELDRED After leading for more than three quarters the Mystery Team again lost out in the last few minutes of the game. They were defeated by one point only, the score being 18-17. THE MAGICIANS 1931-1932 GEORGE HFROGH DEWEY QCaptainJ Being the only letterman left after commencement had taken its toll, his was a responsible position. His versatility enabled him to play any position well, and he became the mainstay of the 1932 Magicians . He ably filled the place of captain, and piloted the team throughout the somewhat temp pestuous season. Not only as a team man, but individually, he became well known. He won the individual foul shooting honors of section seven, there- by carrying on the good work started by Arnold Swanson H301 and continued by Adelbert Anderson Q'31l. He ranked ninth in league scoring and was given honorable mention by the Bradford Era in the selection of the All League Team . We hope someone will come forward to fill his place which will be left vacant by his graduation in the spring. LAWRENCE HCHETH ANDERSON Coming to the front after three years of obscurity, Chet surprised many by his steady, effective work as a forward on the team this year. He had -a good many quarters to his credit, and was second to Dewey in scoring. It is too bad he will be leaving as it will be hard to Hll his place. RAY D1zz STROTMAN Not attracting notice until the season was nearly half finished, Ray en- joyed even a shorter career than the other Senior lettermen. He made up for lost time after he did start, however, and proved a very powerful figure in the back court. It will be hard to find anyone with his speedy ruggedness next year. ROBERT UEINSTEINH HINES After graduation last year it was necessary to find two good guards to fill the places that graduation had left open. Bob Hines, with previous basket- ball experience, was selected for one of the posts. He did good work in the back court and was a strong figure on the team because of his fighting quali- ties. His leaving will be regretted. of i X K Forty Eight f7f'i 3 1

Forty Nine 1-J The 1952 Magi-ei-an Boys' lBc1slke1l:lbulllli Cscu. Cass GARELL Cese , like Strotman, did not start until after the season was well under way. Fortunately, unlike Strotman, he does not graduate but is a high hope for next year. He did some very outstanding work, starring in some of the games, and he deserves much credit. ELMER RED LARSON Well known by his tall frame and red hair, Red was a marked man. He played some good games at center during the first of the season but finally found his real place as a guard, at which position his speed and height enabled him to do some outstanding work. He is another high hope for next year. CARL CuLA BENSON Although this was Carl's first year, he proved to be an efficient man at both the guard and forward positions. His policy was to light hard from beginning to end. He will also be one of the hopes of next year's team. In addition to this list of lettermen, there are some others who did not obtain letters but did some good work and deserve to be mentioned. Lester Iohnson played a good game as a forward in a number of games and also played a good game at guard on different occasions. He did not make his letter, which is too bad for this is his last year. Nevertheless, we appreciate his effort and good work. Bill Malone is also another comer who played very well a number of times. He has two more years, and much is expected of him in the future. LaVern Carlson started the season as a regular, but as luck would have it, was taken seriously ill and could not finish the season. As he is only a Sophomore, much is expected of him in the next two years. Charles Sluga and George Iackson are two more Sophomores for whom we have much expectation. As we see, taking everything into consideration, the prospects for next year are not so bad after all. Last, but by no means least, is our coach, Mr. Hood, He was back of us all the time throughout the season, always confident that we would win the next one. We are certainly glad we did not disappoint him entirely because he worked faithfully and hard. When we take into consideration the material with which he had to work and the keenness of competition in Section Seven this year, we realize that he deserves much credit. - --G. A. D. 8 R. E.
