Although we were off in our shooting a lot of credit must be handed the GR five for their fine defense. Gordon scored nine points as well as playing a fine floor game. Feb. 29---Again we met and downed our friendly rivals from Lake high this time by a 28-24 score. This was undoubted- ably the best game of the entire tournament. Ned Wiley and Bob McCamey were our chief threats.

Ace was a tower of strength on the defense taking the ball off the opponent's backboard. We?ll miss you next year Ace. Bob McCamey, senior and rugged guard playing his first year as a regular improved as the season went on. Bob was mentioned in the NAll Tournamentn team at the sectional meet in Leipsic. Too bad you don't have another year. Jack Gordon, junior, guard. Jay was a consistent perform- er all year and was the spark-plug of the offense. We're looking forward to big things from this lad next year. Keep your eyes on him. Clarence CIt's in the bagl Mason. Mase was a dependable substitute. He was hampered by a bad knee all season and never quite reached his stride. Can't we raise the age limit so you can play another season? rvsscunnuxwsneswuunuxzswcawnumncfvssouumuk-awezwnusunp 'annum' b f' B, f I kj -QI xnl

Joe CTigerJ DeFalco, sophomore and forward. Joe's first year on the varsity saw him in the starting lineup the first semester. Wiley and Gordon teamed so well at forward that Joe was shifted to a guard. He jumped center against Lake when Ace and Bob were out on fouls. This valuable all-around exyeriedce will make Joe a big asset next year.
