While he was no hand for display he has been strong Ior fail' play. lcle meant always to wln over the opponent by endurance and leglti- mate strategy. The game in his hands has DEED as versatlle as it has been successful. We shall truly miss Mr. Sakel but we wlsh him Well and con- tinued success in his new lield of work. H 2. GARTH DUDE RICHARDSON-Center and Captain. Garth has been on the team for four years. He was our captain and made a great reputation in leading the team on the Iloor. he was tlle main- stay OI the team, his IIOOI' and defensive work featuring many games. ne was the headiest of all and was, no doubt, the most valuable man on the team. He was high score man in most or the ganles. he is as good as any center that has ever represented Winslow on the basketball fl00l. 3. JOHN SLEEPY WOOD-Flashy Forward. John began as forward this year and soon showed that he was able to take care oi that position. mis abllity to go under the basket roi' open SHOES won tor hlm the admiration or all spectators.

S. scoring machine. l-le was not an excellent shot but his passing was superb. Al- though a beginner he played his position like a veteran, being iull of pep at all times. He did not do much scoring, himself, but made it possible rol- his team mate to score nice close ones. 6. in HENRY COUTS-Back Guard. Couts did not get into the game till the latter half of the year, due to changing schools. lvluch credit is due hlm for the line work done ill the tourneys. rlis ability to get up into the air stopped many seclllingly goocl passes to opponents going under the basket. me was vel-y last on 1115 Ieet and never failed to get into every play. He was a nlastel' at scrim- maging and usually came up with the ball. W. I-l. S. Will remember his work. 54
