The Sabre “Oxtp Lavy” BootH, Guard Small, well-built, extremely fast—Booth was all that guard should be. His ability to play the floor equally as well as the defense made him a valuable asset to the team. “Old Lady” de- veloped his shooting during the latter part of the season, and frequently caged a pretty shot. His accurate passing featured. He frequently thrilled the spectators by “throwing his feet be- tween his hands” to complete a difficult pass. “AL” HabEN, Center “Al” was always ready to go in and fight in case of emergency. A good offensive and de- fensive center, he caused his opponent no end of trouble. Besides being an able captain of the scrubs, Haden saw service in several varsity games, and in all of them he made creditable showing. He was a hard fighter from beginning to end. His consistent floor work and reliable shooting earned him his berth on the varsity squad. “Doc” Rucker, Guard It is very seldom that a substitute is found who can fill a forward or a guard position with equal ease and ability. Such a man was Joe. As a guard he presented an almost impenetrable de- fense, while his floor work was well above the average. His knack of keeping up with the ball and his accuracy in passing and shooting made “Doc” equally as valuable in a forward position, and he could always be depended on for his share of the attack. “MELAY” LEMAY, Forward Although handicapped by an attack of influ- enza during the season, “Melay” was a depend- able, aggressive player. He developed his shoot- ing throughout the season, and excelled in shots from difhcult angles. His small size somewhat hindered him, but he more than made up for this by his ability to continually rid himself of his opponent by his fast floor work. ‘“Melay” proved an invaluable man to the 1923 squad.
