Ansel Barrow, guard;
Roland Tolson, guard;
Wynn, Gene Campbell and Ovid
Sullivan, substitutes.
These players represent w. ID.

Inc. Brooker Lumber Company,
Walton Nuseries.
Bradley is the captain. because
of his accuracy with the basket
ball, and his experience in the
University of Florida. He ran up

with a total of ISL points, and is
probably the fastest man on the
squad. His clean living keeps him
in condition at all times. He and
Tolson were both members of the
High School squad of 1882 that
was eliminated from the State
Tournament by Ft. Lauderdale.
Tolson is the most improved
player on the team. Last year he
was just another man on the
floor, but this year he is probably
the best guard on the team. He IS
given preference over Wynn Of
Walton because of his height,
which he uses to good advantage.
An interesting feature is that
