BASKET BALL BOYS
JAMES EASTLAND, Guard-Although this was "Doc's" first year,
he showed up well and proved to be a strong man for the team. With two
years yet to play, Eastland will be one of the most reliable players.
NORMAN LEICKIE, Guard-Though this is Leickie's first year, he
played basketball with the same determination that made him a backfield
man in football. Leickie will prove a great help in putting out a winning
team next year.
RICHARD GRIFFIN, Guard-Griffin could be counted on holding down {
his position at either guard or forward. He was one of the fastest men
on the team and he will be back strong next year.
TOM STEWART, "Captain", Center and Forward-Tom was the most
reliable and consistent player of the season. As "Captain" he worked
hard for the team, and by his effort in getting the boys to work, he suc-
ceeded in putting out a strong team.
LEE CASH, Forward-"Italy," though rough with some of his oppon-
ents, was one of the best forwards of the team. He has two more years
j in which to help put out a championship team.
CHARLES PORTER, Forward-"Little Red" proved to his friends, as
well as his opponents, first in the Weatherford College game, and also in
the succeeding games, that it does not take a large man to play basketball.
"Red" rung many difficult goals, and in his three remaining years ought
to make a star player.
A. T. COOKSEY. Center-Ccoksey at center was one of the main-
stays of the team. He could be counted on putting the ball into foreign
territory and breaking up the team-work of his opponents. Cooksey has
two more years.
TRAVIS HILL, Center-Though this is Hill's first year, he was one of
the most faithful players, in reporting for practice. He has two years in
which to develop more speed and accuracy.
