played an important part in the history
of basketball at this institution, and his

Scdcrst-Om's work has been many
times of the spectacular sort. But
while spectacular his work is not
spasmOdic. and he has always enjoyed
the reputation of being one of the most
regular and reliable men on the team.
The position of right forward is

position.
Harry d. Haley Of Gardiner, Of the
senior class, is another veteran of three
teams. In addition to general oualifica-

position of left back. Although inclined
to be a trfle slow he has been steadily i'm
proving until this year his work possessed
more of the dash and ginger and made
him one Of the mainstayS of the team.
