Townsend, Westbrook high boasts of
the tallest high school player in the
state. Townsend, who is only Is
years old. stands six feet two and is
O whale of a player as opposing
centers have speedily discovered.
None OF the opposing centers have
anything on "Fanien" when 1t comes
to jumping the ball. Mcclellan and
Herbert, the Westbrook forwards,
have only to wait and presto change
the ball is in their hands. Frequent
ly Townsend does not tap the ball
but makes a fair catch and takes a
shot at the basket himself. He has
Gagged several baskets from the spot
this year.
Townsend is only sophomore and
has two years to go. He should prove
valuable man for the Blue and
White in the next two years. Town
send makes great center for the
Westbrook machine. feeding the ball
10 the forwards and occasionally
tossing one in himself. Townsend
cannot be accused of being a grand
stand player Despite his great
height and long reach. he plays the
game as he has been taught by Pete
Finn. Although usually very docile,
he is a bear when aroused.
Townsend is also somewhat of n
track man and Coach Philbrook eX-
poets to develop him into a second
Tootel. He has specialized in the
shot and hammer. With proper
coaching it is believed that he can
make some of the Bowdoin Inter-
