Fig Five. They were headed by
Willie Wynne and Sidat Singh.
From this group We're taken the
hest with an eye 10 keeping It as
far as possible a Washington ag-
gregation.
However, basketball players Of
the caliber they desired did not
grow in Washington. so grude-
ingly they looked elsewhere and
found the only men available
were those who had played for
Douglas with the Rens. They are
now in defense work as an ex-
cuse from the war and some of
them would play with anyone else
against the Bears II the cakes
were sufficiently inducing.
And so the Washington Bears
march along. fine combination
OF players. one OF the greatest
teams ever assembled. formerly
known as the Renaissance. some
times known as the Gruman Fly
ers. and what -have-you. So II you
see the Washington Bears In the

carefully and you'll see Bob
Douglass last year Renaissance
