exactly that many combinations
are being carried by Athletic Di-
rector Charley Guyon.
Unlike many coaches, who
prune their squads to rock bot.

sizeable roster. And he has inti-
mated that he has no intention
Of cutting his present layout Of

Unused yesterday. while shifting
several teams about. Every one
Of those combines has something
under cover.
"One represents speed and
cleverness while size and
power features another. Then
there Is experience, passing
and high scoring. Put those
qualities together and you've
got q real basketball club"
Though he hesitates to say so,
neutrality being one Of his viz
tues, Guyon probably Is proudest
Of his pony lineup which has
repeatedly out-speeded and out
smarted the rest Of the field.
Little Danny Kessler is one OF
the standout men of this order.
Like Brother Bruce, who made
basketball history with Guyon
coached teams Of the past, Danny
is midget physically, but an
alert floor man, smart paSSer
and timely scorer.

and now shapes up as q player
who will be heard from.

advantage in q recent scrimmage

almost ridiculously in size, it Is
said they rushed their RANGER

passed circles around them while
