TEAM WAS IN MANY
RESPECTS UNUSUAL RODY
! The team was an unusual one in
| some respects. Not n man was dis
! qualified during the season. Five Of
! the seven men were under age. but
| averaged about ISL pounds. They scored
! So points to opponents 322.
! Captain Woodward lead in scoring.
! with ninety field goals and thirty
! four fouls. or 224 points; Levin, second,
third. with eighty. The guards also
scored in every game. 1t would be i'm
possible 10 name any particular stars
| on the association team. as the guards
and forwards invariably featured alike.
/ but Walierstein was. perhaps. the most
! consistent player. playing for team
work primarily. and always in the
game. and the writer has yet TO see
! him put up Il poor exhibition. Sum-
