ACING the hardwood this past season we had a sharp-shooting Wil- mington combine, although at some of the shots a few D. C. basketeers intermingled. The two big guns for the quintet were Dick Johnson and Bob Wfade, both in the forward position, and constantly battling for game honors. At the guards were two more Wfilmington boys, John Dyer and Jim Buckley, smart back court men and Capable long shot artists. Always up in the air over the center position were Gordon Pirnie, a deadeye at heart, who figures either basket is O.K.,' and Gene Ostrom, a long, lean and lanky D. C. boy, with one eye on his man and the other on the referee. Last but not least, Jim Lewis, a very valuable sub in any position. All in all we didnlt have too good a season, according to scores, but we had a grand time out there trying. Wfe felt that with some more of Phil,s coaching and possibly a new field house the J.V.'s will successfully fill the gap left by the departing seniors. X yy jgygjgjx 7 Q 4 6 Jgxgfx Jx Qs,

f Xf Xfaf Xfi' Ufitgijictfii 'af Xfixf Xf X signals is always a tough one. We were fortunate this year to have had a light, speedy, brainy quarterback, Dick Johnson. Dick, although small, proved his worth as he sneaked through the opponents' wall. Dick, on the defense, always had the remarkable ability of being able to be in the right place at the right time. Much can be said about our forward wall. One of our last year's regulars was Alf Jarden, who switched over from right end to left. When the time came for a needed long gain, Dick took to the air and Alf always seemed to be ready for that hard, bullet-like pass which gave him all that was needed for a quick dash to the goal line. Always ready for a hard hitting high-low were two boys inter- changed all season at the left tackle position. Randy Newman and Bob Post were both able to give their opponents a hard, muscle pounding block. Ready and waiting for a good 'Qsubmarineu and having plenty of Hght was Doug NVilson who always opened the hole through left guard. Doug, although light, persistently threw a heavier opponent to the gridiron. At pivot position in the line were two boys who could center the ball with swiftness and skill. Ray Lewis and Bill Robinson were usually the dirt eaters of the line. Bob Miller and Wade Hubbard were juggled all season at the running guard position. These boys proved to be the Gibraltar of our line. At right end was Bob Wfade, a fast, shifty end from Wfilmington. XVhen it came to stopping end runs Bob always entered the fight, either pulling down the interference or moving in to take the tackle. X jx jkgjgjy jx 7 9 4 6 2gJXgZgQ xx

HE CHANGES for the Sanford nine seem successful this season with the l'reppers', batting .500 so far. We dropped L1 tough game to German- town liriends, 4-3, but followed it up with a hit and run victory over Tower Hill, 14-3. As our critical eye watches the prospective combine trot out on the diamond we see Dieky johnson on the mound steaming a few in to the other half of our battery, Doug Wilson. Stopping the fast pegs of our furious infield we find Jim Buckley on first, with Wade Hubbard doing a ine job as sub. W'e see Georgie Hume on second when not relieving Dieky on the mound. To complete 'the infield, Pete Huber on short stop, and Jim Lewis on the hot corner, covering their positions thoroughly much to the dismay of our opponents. Wfe hope to have some fine hitting from our outneld which is at the present Alf Jarden in left field, Johnny Dyer in center, and Gordon Pirnie in right. Bob Watle, Bill Robinson, and Billy Daniels are ever on their toes to hll in where needed. XVith Phills able coaching and with that old Sanford spirit we are looking forward to a victorious season.
