Captain Bushev ITT I J' has been said as yet about Captain Frank Bushev of the Irish Warriors. The reason is that the scribe feels that he cannot do “Bush justice when it conies to lauding our hot-shot captain. For. when Bush opened up it was like trying to stop one of those cyclones well known in Bush’s native state. Neither can be done. W hen the season had rolled by he had annexed more points than any other man in tin Conference. To lie high scorer among such a number of basket-heavers denotes true ability in sinking the sphere. The fact that Ace was selected for a berth on the All-Conference team is ample testimony of his ability. But his crowning achievement was his being given the captaincy of this mythical quintet. The honor gives testimony to his true worth. basketball Schedule J)cc. 1G K. S. A. C. St. Mary’s Opponci 11 Hec. IS K. S. A. C. Manhattan 10 33 Ian. • •) Ian. l.'i K. C. A. C. Kansas City 16 IT Ian.

C.REYE Joseph Gkbve. Though guard is Joe’s position lie was shifted to center and came through in great style. Ilis size made it easy for him to get the tip. which he generally did. Joe never really found his basket eye. but in spite of it he managed to count a good many points before the season was over. The low scoring of opposing centers i ample testimony of his defensive work. John Ryan. Johnny struggled without much success last year to gain a position of forward. When the big shake-up of the team took place he was changed to guard and took to it like a fish to water. Besides being an excellent defensive man he was an important cog in the offensive, garnering his share of the points with regularity and increasing his effectiveness with every game. William Me Nary. Although a new man on the basketball squad, Bill quickly annexed one of the guard positions and held it throughout the season. I le always managed to keep his man well checked. Bill’s specialty was taking the ball off the back-board. At this job he was unexcelled. Bill always had a knack of hitting the basket and could be relied on for a few every game.
