Quick to learn, he soon became a reliable team work- er and an accurate basket-shooter. DALE CARIS Forward Goslin , who came from the Freshman class, played good basket- ball. He was a good shot and a. cap- b'le player. Because of his quick re- sponse to coaching-Caris will be val- uable to next year's team. WALTER METCALF Substitute Walt , although not a letter man, proved himself one of the best sports on the squad. Always out for prac- tice, and ever ready to make any sac- rifice for the good of the team. Walt did splendid service and will be missed. JOHN EWART Substitute John, like, Walt , substituted in several games. He was dependable at practice, developed rapidly, and will prove a strong man for the com- ing season. -

The boys also made a good showing in the Wesleyan tournament as the following scores will indicateg Mt. Pleasant 17 Mediapolis 11 Mt. Pleasant 32 Moravia 14 Wilton Junction 12 Mt-.

The fact that the boys made a good showing against this team is another indication of their superior playing. :zen
