First Row: Kirsch, Frazier. Eckert, Carlson Second Row: Colpitts, Steele, Hook. Skelton Luziofz cvzaify For the iirst full season of its existence the junior varsity basketball team hung up a record of nine wins and six losses. The Iayvees played prelimin- ary contests to the varsity games, invariably displaying a speedv brand of ball. Coach Howard Warrick undoubtedly has developed some likely looking ma- terial, part of which should go a long way with Coach Stannarcl's varsity group next fall. It is believed that junior varsity basketball will be further extended in the next season, because of the great interest shown. The high-scoring ace of the team was Garth Steele. Several times through the season Steele's field goals pulled the game out of the fire. In the North- western qame, Whitworth lagged by tour points, with but a minute to go, and Steele calmly dropped in four points to knot the score: and in the overtime period, he swished the winning lield goal. Steele averaged 105 points tor ll games. Other letter winners included: Hook, Skelton, Greenleaf, Eckert, Wadklns, Kirsch, Colpitts, I. Frazier, C. Frazier, and Carlson. .
