Show A Basketeers Swing Into Pre-Season Hoop Campaign South's A team cagers will meet Logan at 8 :00 p. m. tonight to-night on the local's floor. The "B" squad will engage the juniors from Logan at 7 :00 p. m. So far the Cubs have played five gamos, winning two. The boys in blue look as if they are hitting their stride now if their victory over By Y. high means anything. The excellent shooting of Ecker and Cooper, plus the good passing! and ball rustling of Davidson, Weidner, and Earl looked like o. winning combination. One of the outstanding men of the current basketball season is Glen Earl, commonly called 'Guinea.' 'Guin-ea.' Glen played wingback on the C team this year, where he gained honor for his great amount of fight. In basketball he is known as a swisher, a man who is usually usu-ally fed the ball to make the points. In his practice, Glen has developed a one hand push shot that has no equal in the school for accuracy. In addition to being a swisher, he is a rustler. This is one of the finest combinations that a forward could have. Usually a team has one man as a rustler, one as a close range, setup set-up shooter, and one to shoot from the area outside the circle. These are always long shots. Earl can do all three. Earl was a substitute on last year's A team, but saw a lot of action, ac-tion, particularly in pre-season contests. Like most high scorers, Glen has his hot and cold nights, but when he's hot on the hoop, the score keeeprs have to relieve each other to keep from dropping from exhaustion. |
