Zamjahx carried the same old fight into basketball that he had in football, and because of this he was always a dangerous man for the opponents. His presence at the pivot position kept the team well balanced, and his aggressiveness put him into a position to score many times. Zamie pul Chaska on the map at River Falls. Zamjahx Because of injuries “Gibby” was unable to play in many of the games, but whenever he was in the lineup, we were assured of good brand of basketball from him. He handled the ball well, and played a strong offensive game. Dawsie’s work at guard will always be remembered with respect by the men of other teams, who have played against him. His ability to smother every offensive measure of the opponents in his direction kept the ball out of dangerous territory most of the time, and forced the opposing teams to long shots.

 Quandt is a man who has put in three seasons for the Falls. He will always be remembered for his aggressiveness and excellent guarding. A keen eye for the basket credits him with one and some times several neat ringers in nearly every game, and his ability to work the ball into the enemy’s territory has established him as an important cog in the Red and White machine. Quandt If one were to consider the number of games won and lost in judging the merits of our basketball team and their record, he would fall far short of the true estimate indeed. A glance at the scores alone would show that no game was lost by a very large margin, and that the majority of them were decided by a mere point or two. In the Stout game the Falls showed that they were able to battle on even terms with the State Champions, and winning from St. Mary’s and Stevens Point was no mean accomplishment. We are proud of the fight our men showed in every game they played, and their record will always be held as one, not so much of victories as of the spirit shown in upholding the standards of the Red and White. Beran's clever floor work and his fight-to-thc-finish spirit were responsible for much of the fight the team showed this year. He also proved to be a scoring factor in critical moments. His work in the Stout game will always be remembered. Behan Sindf-Three

Price showed this year that he lias the makings of a mighty good man. and with this year's experience he should become an important cog in next year’s team. He is a good shot and plays a scrappy game all the time. We look for big things from him next year. Price This is the first year for JuNC also, and his appearances on the Red and While team have shown that he will, without a doubt, round out into a dandy guard. Clever and tenacious, he is a hard man to work the ball through, and he has shown that he can hold his own in a wholly creditable way. .luxe Collins’ ability to step into the game in a time of need gave him a chance to display his wares, which he did in a creditable fashion. He is a good man both to break up plays and work the ball into a scoring position. He will be with us again next year. Collins Xinely-Five
