Moe Tener, who was shiTTed periodically To The varsiTy squad, was high man Tor The year, wiTh an average of 26.67 poinTs a game. IT seems likely ThaT l.iTwacIc, Wilson, Sullivan and Polly are desTined To make sTrong bids Tor varsiTy birThs nexT season. ln iudging Their individual records, iT is probable ThaT The TirsT Two will sTay wiTh The big boys. The loss of John CoTTrilI, varsiTy cenTer, leaves an opening Tor one of Them a cerTainTy. CapTain OTway will probably move To The cenTer sloT, vacaTing his Torward posiTion. EiTher LiTwacIc or Wilson will geT The nod Trom varsiTy coach Leyden. WiTh every consideraTion, The liT+le Ponies should clinch The N.J.I.A.C. crown again in '5I, even wiTh The loss of Their leading scorers.
