1920 'I' R A N SC END E N T A LI ST 1920 JOE PENDLETON Forward “Little Joe” Joe struck the first team this year and struck it hard enough to jolt out a captaincy for himself. He has the coolness and clearness of head which keep a team from going to pieces in a pinch and oftentimes did some big “rustic” hunt around among his arms and legs for the ball while “Little Joe” took the old leather sphere down the floor. LLOYD DAVIS Forward “Davie” This was Lloyd’s fourth year in the game and to say the least he used his former experience to advantage. He was always in the game and was not put out by a few hard knocks. We regret to lose you, Davie, but if we can’t keep you we’ll try to keep your spirit. HOWARD CASE Guard “Fat” So quiet and unassuming was he that we often lost track of him in the excitement and confusion preceding a game, but when the whistle blew “Fat” was always in his place. When he shuffled up to his forward, with hand extended, his opponent often sized him up as “pickins” only to have the ball taken away from him by Case’s left hand dribble. STANLEY WILLIS Center “Tang” Although only a Sophomore, “Tang” came out wonderfully the first part of the season and when he once got started he was ---- hard to stop. But what one always remembered about “Tang” was his look of surprise whenever he made a basket. 25

1920 T R A NSC E N D ENT A L1 ST 1920 PETER CIOCHETTI Guard “Pete” Pete immediately took his place with the Red and Black gang and although only a Freshman he knew “your old hall game” well enough to make the second all-star team of Montgomery County. Anyone that thinks he can “rough ’em up” and get away with it, never had Ciochetti for a guard. GILBERT ICETTLEKAMP “Gib” This was “Gib’s” first year with us and he came out of his shell in a hurry as soon as he got used to the bunch. He played only the latter part of the season, but proved himself a consistent point winner. Although lie is listed as a center, he played forward in two of his five games. CARL BROWN “Broon” “Broon” was another Freshman who decided that the first thing he would get ac-quainted with would be a basket-ball, and to this end he worked during the entire season. “Broonie” is a regular walking brick wall and has played everything on the floor some time during the season. ENNO HENKEL “Henkel” Enno was unfortunate enough to have the mumps when he should have had his picture taken for the annual. However, we must mention him with the first team players. Henkel always shows a sportsmanlike spirit and plays the game for all that’s in him. 26
