THE 1938 TROJAN UOTS BASKBTRALIj 38 Daugherty—They call him ‘ Punk”, but not from his basketball ability. He’s good. Not a big man, out clever, experienced, last, ana with the best eye and fingers on the squad. Make a bucket the length ol tne floor? Sure—he does it, oiten. A cool headed captain, in tignt games he stays clever. We naie to lose “Punx . We enjoyed seeing nim puzzie tne Dig, clumsy guards. Bingman—A rangy, but tough guard. Where does he get that name, “Sister”? They don’t make piayers more aggressive, tough, and aole to take and give it. Played regular as a junior and senior. A fine defense man and yet a nigh scorer on offense, he could qualify as first class player on any school's team. Cole—Sophomore center. A big south paw that will come into his own in the next two seasons. Lack of experience is his only nandicap. He is perhaps one of the most promising players in the league and he mustn't disappoint us. Brandy—Junior guard. It’s seldom a man, relatively inexperienced, steps in to hold a first team position. Brandy, with his reaching arms and cooi judgment, was the one to ao it. Not a high scorer, he contented himself with not letting his man be either. You could always depend on Brandy in there. Next year, one of the few veterans, Brandy will be shouldered with great responsibility which we are sure he can handle. Fred—Playing forward position in his senior year. Small but fast and a wicked shot with his left hand. Fred is a “hot’’ player and if he is on, his man may as well quit the game. Don’t judge his ability in proportion to his size. Chapman—One of the best shots on the floor. He came into his own as a senior and pulled the team out of many a tight place with his hard, driving play and ability to get the ball loose for a shot that rang the bell. He could be shifted to any position on the team and he asked odds from no player on defense. Crislip—The smallest man on the squad but he saw plenty of action as forward in the toughest games. Kenny is awfully fast and clever. In the next two years he’ll be a mighty dangerous man for any team to handle. Kennedy—A junior forward. Ken didn’t get into as warm games as some, but he was a tricky man on defense and could always be depended upon to get the ball into scoring range. As a senior he’ll have a lot of responsibility. Castle—A senior. If a man scores too much, put Castle on him and he’ll score no more. Always safe to put in any game. He has been ready at any time to put all he had in it and we hate to have him missing from the squad next year. Shanks—A senior who was always in bad luck one way or another it seemed and could never get out ’till this year. Just how he does it is his own secret but he can get into the open for more shots than any man on the squad. Always plays the same, sure, way. Wines—A freshman. Bill needs experience and he’ll get plenty. With his size he will make a mighty valuable man. In the next three years he shall go places if he gets some drive. Next year’s team should be big and Bill won’t have to take second place to any. Mention Everett Webb as manager? He deserves it!

THE 1938 TROJAN eiRlLS BASKETBALL ’3 Deeter—As captain, Doris led her team with a determination and ability that kept the game scores always close. High scorer in game after game, and exceptionally clever ball handler. We are lucky to have her back next year. She will be without a fear the best in the county and Troy may rightfully claim her to be the best individual player. Amsbary—As forward and running mate with Deeter, Mary Jo kept the game from slowing down, ana with any chance at all she was sure to gather her snare of the points in a game. Small, last, always where the ball was and in control of it much of the time. For three seasons sne has been a valuable addition to the Troy sextet. Clark—Lois is our versatile player—at home at forward, center, or guard and always aepenaable at any of those positions. Nothing but the whistle could make Lois quit righting for that ball and more points. Small for a guard, she made up for it in spirit and skill, and as a forward, her dependability and hard playing tactics always brought her some points. Her equal will be hard to find next season. Scott—New to the game this year, Scott bewildered her opponents with a display of physical and mental alertness and power that gained our team many a respite. With more experience she will be an outstanding guard of the league. The fastest player on the floor finds their reputation going and gone when Scott decides to really start a defense. Passes and receives like a veteran. Russell—Bert was back with us again this year alter a year s lay off from the game, and we were certainly lucky to have her. As a guard, she made any forward work hard for points. Her injury in the New Marshheld game was a heavy loss for the team to face for the rest of the season. Her absence from the team was of greater moment than we care to think of. Gaskins—As a senior, Gaskins has been in most of the games at guard. Always dependable, she took the scoring anility from most forwards by wearing them out with her steady method of play. For several years we have relied heavily on her to bring us out of difficulties. We’ll miss her. M. Clark—Small, fast, clever, and with great possibilities when she has more experience—that’s Marguerite. As a freshman, she has played a fine game at forward, and with her present skill plus steadiness and smoothness that another season will give, she will make points against any guard. ‘Walden—Beth was always with the team but did not see as much action as most. She was ready to go into the game and was reliable. In the latter part of the season she saw a great deal of action and her value was indisputable. Morrison—New to the game Melba made use of a long reach and general ability. With experience, she’ll be of the highest value to the team and will, we are sure, play a neat game. We are certain to hear much of her next year. THE SEASON'S RECORD: Troy 21 here Belpre ....23 Troy 8 there Shade .. 9 20 here Albany ... .16 17 there The Plains . .. . .27 19 there J.
