THE FORUM LETTER MEN Frank Chambers, Captain Forward 'tHank, played the best basketball this year that he played during his high school career. He was an excellent shot, and although he was a marked lnan by the opposition, he led the team in scoring. Frank was placed on the First Central District Tournament Team. Dwight Donaldson Guard Dutch, was the team's greatest fighter. He never knew the meaning ol' defeat and usually came through with points when they were most need- ed. Dwight led the team in scoring in the Central Ohio League and was placed on the League's First Team. Jack Beck Forward Jack, played the kind of a game that coaches love to see-steady and con- sistent. Jack was second high-point man for the year. His specialty was his corner shots, which he seldom missed. Jack was named on the Second Cen- tral Ohio League Team. Harold Mavis Guard Harold was the best defensive man on the team and perhaps the best in the League. Coach Robeson invariable assigned him the job of guarding the opposition's best man, and Harold always held his opponent to a low score. Harold was named on the Second Central Ohio League Team. Robert Ferrel Center Bob, is the nucleus around which next year's team must be built as he was the only underclassman who could be considered a regular. Bob, was an excellent defensive man and was never out-jumped by a man of his own size. Although he did not score a great number of points himself, he was a Valuable man in the pivot position to feed the ball to his teammates. Richard Veatch Forward Dick, did not start in many games this year, but he played in nearly every quarter. He was a valuable substitute, and his one-hand shot from the circle was almost impossible to guard. Page Fifty-Three
