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.

Gerald Morkisey. It was a matter of some speculation whether Jerry would be able to keep up the fast pace he set on the High School team, but a few games sufficed to show that he was even better as a college player. Like Bush he could hit from all angles. Exceptional speed and brilliant floor work, together with his swishing ability made him one of the most feared men on the team. MORkiSKY Paul Cooney. Paul amply lived up to the expectations of those who saw him play with Topeka Catholic High School last year, lie excelled during the first two games. A broken foot kept him out of the game for several weeks and lie had difficulty in getting back in form again. A fast man. he was always a thorn in the side of the opponents. Pan! should have a great record next season. COONEY Thomas Brennan. After a good start in the early weeks. 'Torn lost his stride and took quite a while to get it back. I Iowever, his good work during the first part of the season and his ability to come through in the pinches, easily earned him a letter. Although not so dependable as some in hitting the basket, he dropped through a good many thrillers during the course of the season. 11RENXAX One Hundred Forty-nine
