Marshall's quint is rated on par
with the great 1889 combination
which won 80 out of Al games and
gained national recognition. 1t got
off to good start by nosing out
Denver. Alas in its debut. then beat
Wichita. 1924; Southwestern, $3.50;
and Bethany College.
Bob Higgins and Ed Straight. for
wards. and Harold Wiley, guard,
probably are the three outstanding
members of the team. although any
one on the squad may bust loose at
any time on a scoring spree.
Columbus isn't doing badly In
scoring, boasting two of the towns
top five men in Acky Viana and
Gerald Burns, and rolling up 1873
points to 157 for the opposition. a
record of better than a point-a-
minute.
