BASKETBALL FIRST NINE ON OTTAWA On Ottawa! On, Ottawa! Please pile up that score. Round the ball clear round-! Basket sure this time! Rah! Rah! Rah! On, Ottawa! On, Ottawa! Fight on for her fame. Fight, fellows, iight! And we will win this game! SENIORS Don McGinnis-This year was Mac's second year on the first five. He was a very good rebound man and served as co-captain. Mac will be missed greatly by the squad next year. Allan Gulker-Known as Ollie , he served as an all 'round, good defense man. He and his head-up playing will be missed next year. Eddy Kersh- Ed's aggressive and spirited playing was a very valuable asset on the re- serve sguad. He will be missed by the Varsity, on which he served as substitute, and the Re- serve teams this year. Ierry Salisbury-A very reliable guard, and an ever-ready substitute for the Varsity. Ierry and his fast ball handling will be a loss to the Reserve and Varsity. Iohn Willoughby- Lanky Iohn , a newcomer to the team, showed much improvement through the season. He played regular center on the Reserve Squad. IUNIORS Guy Corkwell- Corky served as co-captain on the first five this year, which made his sec- ond year on the Varsity squad. His ability to handle the ball and to make plays will be counted on very much next year. lack Oglesbee-A rough rebound man on the defensive backboard, and an excellent forward was Iumping lack . We are expecting big results with him next year. Gene Schimmoller-- Rangy Gene excelled in good, fast passing and rebounds. His height and experience will be counted on next year. Paul Wilkinson- Dead Eye , was the team's outstanding shot and he showed so great an improvement that he was moved from Reserves to Varsity toward the end of the season. We are looking forward to Paul's shooting next year. Kal
