CIV. Cagemen Forget
lis Summer, Drill |
For Next Winter
By George Huber

/ This. isn't the time of year even
TO talk about basket ball, much less
play it. It's much better to sit
around In the park or loll in the
shade, but some of the boys on the
George Washington U. basket ball
team have other ideas.
A team that reached the Southern
Conference tournament semifinals
and also beat Navy last year didn't
do half bad. But the boys want to
dc, better. They figure that if prac-
tice makes perfect. that's for them.
# Practice on Playground.
So, on these midsummer after
moons when others are taking it
easy, there's a gang of serious
youths, dressed in white shorts and
deep coats of tan, sweating it out
on one of the basket ball courts at
Takoma Playground back of Cool
idge High School. It's a group from
the G. w. cage team, getting in the
kind Of practice that will have them
already in top form and rarin' to
60 when Coach Otis Zahn calls for
the first workouts this fall.
It's something they decided to do
on their own hook. They want to
know about one another's habits and
styles of play. Good basket ball
should be second nature to them by
the time winter gets here.
Practically every afternoon while
summer school is in session they've
been practicing Most of the boys
are veterans, living in Draper Hall.
near the school. 1t was only natural
that the talk turned to basket ball
and the talk turned into action.
Small One of Leaders.
Len Small, who had a hot hand
against Navy, was one of the leaders
In organizing this informal summer
practice. Other Cagers on hand are
Phil McNiff. Art Cerra, Bill Can't
well, Dave Shapiro, Bunny Citren-
baum and Maynard Haithcock
With that gang in shape practically
all Zahn will have to do this fall is
blow up basket ball and throw it
out.
There are some other players
around, fellows from the football
team who think they'll give basket
bail shot this year. Lads such as
Joe Famulatte. Frank Close and
Walt Savage. Also present are sew
eral footballers who have no par
ticular basket ball ambitions, but
who are taking advantage of these
workouts to whip themselves in
shape for football camp, which starts

Burak. Bill Spangler and Frank
