Goodman will lose two of its high
ly-ranking lads from the regular
quintet-Reid and Joe Baker, as we'll
the youth on the sidlines for almost
rs McMurray, whose very unfor-
unate operation for APPENDICITIS kept
the entire season, Troy Devlin, Tre-
!oar and Sever Eubanks. The nu-
cleus will be left to mould another
winning combination, but the task
of replacing lads like Reid and
Baker win be a tremendous one.
Plenty of praise should go to Coacn
lhomas for his untiring and wholly
uccessful efforts during the 1941-
AZ campaign. Faced with the pro-
blcm of producing team with only
Zine seasoned cagers remaining and
burdened with much worry and care
n account of losses through sch
elastic failure, an operation, injuries
tc. the Goodman mentor came
through in glorious fashion to pilot
tho Bulldogs to coveted trophy.
