Jiminez' popularity is due, no

MARINES TOP SCORER
ENSIGN IN NAVY

GRACEFUL, Well-DullI lOEWdTU
| Laney has been the mainStay Of
the US. Marines in their dom
! nation of the Island City League.
Despite the fact the Leathernecks
lost their first game in IL starts
last Friday night, this handsome
basketeer was in fine form in the
opening half of the contest, sink
ing 10 points. He accounted for
tWo-thirds of the Devil Dogs to-
tai score, thereby averting one
sided defeat
Laney is not Marine at all but
an ensign in the us. Navy. How
ever, regardless of the branch of
government service to which he
is attached, most basketball fol-
lowers agree he is one of the most
outstanding players seen on a To-
cal court in recent years. The
ease with which he sends his
"floaters" through the hoop is
the envy Of civilian and service
cagers.
Laney made his first appear
ance in a Leatherneck lineup on
January 6. Marines has already
engaged in four games and were
tied for the leadership with High
School. That night, with the
help of our hero's seven field
goals, the Corps five defeated the
Students to gain sole possession
of top spot. From then until last
week, the Devil Dogs were never
ousted from their enviable posi-
ton.
The Annapolis graduate made
the leagues scoring Big Ten the
final week of the first-half and
wound up that schedule in eighth
place with IS points. At present
he is leading in the second-half
AS he participated in only six
games in the opening schedule,
sinking approximately seve n
FIGS" per contest, his record
speaks well of his ability.
Seldom trying set shots, Laney
prefers to simply push" the ball
in the basket from all angles

His flake" movements create
openings just long enough to send
