(Huarb 3lpasii;i;ir ' a 3i raa uf tbr Haraitii ulram Clyde Davis, Tiny, Guard. This was Tiny ' s first year at guard. He was always at the place he was most needed and could diagnose the opponents ' plays before they were made. Tiny, placed on the ah Arizona first team, deserved every honor award- ed him. Jack Wilson, Jack, Guard. Jack played a good consistent game and although he was not a sensational player, he was one of ihe mainstays of the team. It was always a safe bet that Jack would break up plays that looked impossible from the sidelines. Hubert Detloff, Det, Center. One of our big point men. This is Det ' s introduction to college basketball and with last year ' s experience behind him he will be a hard man to beat next seasoii. Clarence Schlansky, Schlan, Forward. Schlan had a lot of hard luck this year with his trick shoulders, but nevertheless he was always a point getter. Next year Schlan will prove one of the most valuable men in the state. Maurice Hedderman, Het, Forward. Het was the smallest member of the squad but was always there with a lot of pep and fight. Het came through in better form during the last games of the season. Ove Overson, Ove, Forward. Ove could not get going this season with the speed he should show, but it will pay everyone to keep their eyes on him next season. Ove will come through. Harry Stevens, Hoddy, Forward and Guard. Hoddy did not hit his stride this year. This was probably due to his football in- juries, but it is a sure thing that next year will be different. Hoddy is a stepper. Andrew Isaacson, Andy, Center. He could always be de- pended on to give the best in him to the team. This was Andy ' s first year and he should show up well in the future. Austin Gibbons, Gib, Guard. Gib got a very slow start this year but has the makings of a real basketball player. His game will improve 100 per cent next year and will give anyone a fight for his position. or How I 71i5s ' cu trloTi Tie • V ♦-0. 9-n : E r .V- i£: -l .. T

— ' i TS ' ii y Ta Cuesta (Cnarli iCiimli ti tiitiiiuitr uf tiir jFiriilniiaii aram Norman Wilson, (Lydia), Bisbee — Norman was one of the main stays on the second leam. He playjd running guard most of tlu ' season and was very callable ot keei)ing the i)all out of the enemy ' s teri ' itory. lie was a light, fast plavei-, and jn ' oved him- self a fighter. Tony Lopez, (Tony), Jerome — iiuiining guard. One uf the fastest little boys on the stjuad. He is a good defensive and of- fensive man and if he keeps up the pace he set this year, it will be impossible to keep him off the varsity next yoar. Percy Britton, (Perc), Marana — Forward. Percy is a pioneer of Santa Cruz valley. His experience in chasing jackrabbits through the brush down on th e Santa Cruz has developed him into a hard running, progressive forward. When Percy gets a few rough corners smoothed off he will be a good man next year. Arthur Way, (Turk), Miami — Turk ' i smallness is made up for by his speed and swiftness. Although he is the smallest man on the squad, at no time did the games ever get too rough for him. A little more effort and Turk might have made the varsity. Taler Dyer White, (Doc), Kingman — Doc was a good all- around man who could play most any position on the team. He was a good defensive man and proved himself very capable in keeping the ball out of the opponent ' s basket. Doc was a hard, clean fighter and deserves much credit. Andrew Devine, (Andy), Kingman — Andy ' s 215 pounds looked mighty big to his opponents when they came down near the basket. Andy was out most of the season from injuries. He is big, fast and a great defensive man. We expect great things from Andy next year. Hill Redmon, (Beans), Lipscomb, Texas — Althougli Beans was not a large man, he made up in siDeed for what he lacked in size. Beans was out during the early part of the season on ac- count of sickness, but he came in strong in the last few games. He was fast and a great fighter. He played standing guard in most of the games. Lee Patton, (Tex), Dallas — Forward. Tex was sick most of the season but even against the doctor ' s orders he came out near the end of the season and looked awfully good. Tex has played on some good teams and will be one of the regulars next year. Otto Barth, (Bob), Berkeley, Cahf.— Forward. Bob is a product of California and played on some good teams there. He is big, fast and heady player and if he hits his stride next year he will make somebody play to keep him off the varsity. Charles Wilson, (Chick), Flagstaff — Chick is a high school boy but he showed up good with the best of them. With a little more coaching he will be a good for ' ard and a great fighter. We hope Chick will be back with us next year. iq feA sVa a a ; Ty-f 4-,6Ji !■■ i I I y - .
