Councillor and Werber are the only
members Of the squad who may he
called season performers. while sew
eral Of the others have had little or
no experience in the court game and
can hardly be counted on TO make n
showing against the experienced com
binations that will be presented by
several of the schools
Dinty Rooms was on the reserve list
last season and saw service in a mum
her of the series games. Terneak did
not make his appearance until the
tail end of the campaign but gave
q good account of himself in the few
games in which he participated.
Ciangi is newcomer to the Tech
five, and is replacing Werber at for
ward. while the latter is jumping
center in place of Croson. a lanky
pivot man, who has been dropped
from the squad
As the entire team, with the ex-
ception Of Terneak, is made up of
players who could qualify for the
lightweight class. the Manual Train
ers must rely on their speed to outwit
The heavier teams with which they
will come in contact. In this depart
ment of the game. however, they
should he equal to the best.
Councillor was tho surprise of tho
last series with his snappy footwork
and is reported TO be al fast on the
court this year. Werber also is shifty
player. and while playing the tap-off
position during the present schedule
ranks with the best of the high school
forwards in scoring ability.
